the word Amiga is a generic term for female friend, you cant trademark that

That is obviously completely wrong, as Amiga was a registered trademark of Commodore-Amiga, etc. for many years.

And that is completely wrong, because trademarks to Amiga as computer system, electronics, calculator etc has expired long ago.
There is no such trademark, at least not worldwide.

Basically the trademark Amiga for computers is alive and registered to Amiga Inc Delaware and Commodore USA. Since CUSA is dead and it's the wrong AI, it will be interesting if they can be renewed.

Amiga Inc is still producing something computer related, games for Blackberry, so they likely meet the activity requirement....

Would have been nice if we could get some investor to snag the Amiga trademark and give it to the community so anyone could use it.

But then that's just not the way it worked out. The Atari community is a lot better off in that regard, where I think most of the software bits on top of TOS was basically open sourced, and for the TOS bits, they've been reverse engineered easily with Emu-TOS. Would have been interesting if that'd happened to the AmigaOS, or even a lot of the parts of it. I know some libraries have been recreated, and there is AROS. Anyhow, just kind of a mini-rant.

well, in Europe it's dead already, as i told before.
In the U.S. it is even more dead, all trademarks concerning Amiga and Amiga Inc. represented by attorney D.Cohen are abandoned.
See attached results from USPTO.

There is no such thing as "Amiga" for computers, but for bathtubes and shoes

.
And i don't care what Amiga Inc. is currently producing or "licensing" or co-operating. To me, it's all FUD. :destroy:

Not that it changes the fact that the casual observer sees no activity, technically CommodoreUSA LLC and Amiga Inc. are listed as "inactive", not dissolved.
This would mean they still pay taxes, file necessary paperwork, and could be involved in talks with most anyone.

Hmmm...actually this report indicates "active"

No clue, I never asked that question to Leo.

I'm guessing they sold less than 100 c64x's during the products life cycle. They were underpowered and overpriced. Also the C64 case is pretty ugly by today's standards. That's why Commodore switched to the white design in the late 1980's.
