That's website value, not company/trademark value ;-)

I bet if you offered Amiga inc. $50,000US for the name "AMIGA" they'd jump on it like strung-out crack addicts.


 :lol:

I might suggest a different plan though. They hang around with dreams of the big payoff. Instead, ignore them. Maybe they'll go away.

Some one some where must either be collecting substaintial royalties on old patents or some other company is using it as a huge tax write off as a loss every year. I can't imagine any other reason they'd be clinging to the dusty bones of Commodore so intently.

Meanwhile, in actual import news... I'm serveral steps closer to bringing home a car like the one in my avatar. :-D

I don't know what AI's finances look like, but if they do ever go bankrupt, we'll find out exactly what the trademark is worth (the rational free-market value) vs. what AI is willing to sell it for now (probably an irrationally high price).

To get the value of the company from this figure, you have to move the comma two digits to the left...

There are more than one theory on how to estimate the value of a brand name, but one that I confess to basically say that the value of a brand equals to how much money you could make on it (the brand alone, isolated) over a period of time, since that's the purpose of it all; making money!

In the Amiga case I would say - not a lot!
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

A shot of Jagermiester, a lap dance and a half smoked cigarette.


A lap dance downunder will cost you more than half a smoked cigarette and a shot of Jagermiester combined. As to the value of the Amiga trademark, I'd guess a big fat ZERO!!!

Yeah, just down the road!  And a Golf Social Club!

(I think it was earlier this year I saw that).

I wonder what made them choose that name..?

Amiga trademarks are worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.  Last benchmark was $4+M so it still should be worth around that as far as the courts are concerned.
