I find it funny that just like when the legal spaghetti of the commodore name rights got revealed... No comment from CUSA. Now we all know about the amiga trademark issues, and again, no statement from cusa.

A real company would release a public statement if it was revealed that their trademarks and right to even use their own company name was in jeopardy. They wouldn't just ignore it and hope people don't call them on why there company name (and supposedly officially licensed products) are now essentially not even legal...

Its a small company so it will be in their best interest to lay low instead of making already muddy waters more muddy... They have a family member that works in the law profession who knows what she specialises in and they probably dont want to spend money on a good PR agent so they probably dont have the resources or experience like a real company would..  look at the mistakes so far..  Only when they are confident about something positive they will come out to blow their trumpet... Small biz mentality..

He should, then send a Cease & Desist letter from his attorney to CUSA. That would be Awesome!:banana::banana::banana:

A letter from my attorney would cost him $100 unless he has a retainer but it doesn't mean that Commodore USA would quit.

The court system is not always the place you want to be in because cases can go either way because sometimes judges don't care and can be swayed either way and sometimes it is the person who spends the most in court that wins because they drag it out past the other party's ability to pay.

It would, except for the part where muddying waters is basically all they do.

Well it seems to me that the community should be more respectful of the rightful owners of the amiga IP.

Amiga is a strong, cutting edge technology and brand but if anyone can steal the name and put it on anything then its rightful owners won't be able to make a living out of it, much less bring it back to its rightful position as market leader.

We are 20 years past any "market leader" possibilities, unfortunately.

It's solely a hobby platform in the true sense, any of the real "Amiga" offerings, anyways.  Never going to see mainstream use again that impacts the Apple and MS dominance in the least, numbers wise.

Not since the late 80s/early 90s.

If the rightful owners were trying to make a living out of it, they sure could've fooled me.

LOL!

Smells like CUSA...

Amiga strong, cutting edge technology? LOL! Which one...the one of the '80s-'90s?
Steal the name? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nice one!

Its nice human and caring add on to the team, let alone humor.
Is it what they animals know of our wrongdoings or we could convert Moochie to be AmigaOS user :-)

Sweet, it looks like he could be the dog on the couch. Thanks for finding this for me.

I was right about the dog food commercials being good, this was much better than the Wiskas commercials.

Hello, new user. Is good to have new people here.

Respect - many have tried to licence Amiga name for various project in the past, but very few, included contracted Hyperion, survived it and very few were licenced at all (AmigaOne name, AmigaOS and this "Amiga" Mini). So rightful owner doesn`t seem to try to make best use of it. That is why most of Amiga products of today does not bare Amiga name, or are labeled as AmigaOne and yes, AmigaOS.

Cutting edge technology was only 1985 and brand is forgotten beside such island as this community.

When speaking out of anyone using the name, putting it on everything, examples are Amiga Inc shop, iCoin line of products and CUSA Amiga series. That doesn`t bring any of original values or OS continuation, no matter how much names and adverts suggest it, neither is visionary, innovative or practically different and nor for the massess for today market.

Serious question (don't take this as an insult) but:

Does anyone really believe that the Amiga can these compete with and beat opposition of the likes of Microsoft, Google, Intel, Apple etc. etc.

Seriously? It's a genuine question.

Good god won't this thread die?

Lol

This is a joke, right? Or are you posting this from 1990?

[spirantho]

This is basically the crux of the C=USA argument, that Amiga is a cutting edge industry respected brand.

So unless you're calling the entire C=USA operation a joke, then....

... oh, hang on.... er...
