And just how do you know he doesn't? Have you been in conference with McBill on his legal agreements with C=USA on this or just ASSuming something in order to infer a threat of moderation against a AWN member?

Well it will be very simple to prove one way or the other...
Just have Leo send an official Cease & Desist notice to TheDaddy on behalf of CUSA and I'll happily pay for my Solicitor to have it all checked out...
@ The Mods
Could someone please delete all the off topic posts (including mine) from these threads as they are totally off topic and ruining the actual contents of these threads...

Yep.
Seriously, start a thread about the case and keep it on topic.
If people want to have a "legal" thread. Make a separate topic and put it in either "free for all" or "Amiga Inc. offshoots". How hard is that?

Over at amiga.org:
"According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Amiga trademark was abandoned as of September 19, 2011."

I think I've read here somewhere that if you do not make active use of a trademark that at a certain point it expires. (May I've got everything wrong ). But at least this would explain why BMcE did this strange deal with iContain and also keeps the horrible website alive ... just to demonstrate that he is doing business with the Amiga trademark. Just an opinion. |

Oh yes, please do. :)
Can't believe you kept that one to yourself. That must've taken some will-power not to drop knowing hints! |

These are the two Amiga trademarks that have been available for registering since September of last year. I've been watching them in amazement that CUSA (or anyone else) never bothered to register them and been holding off doing so myself just to see if anyone actually would register either one of them...
Reckon it's time to bring the Amiga name home to the real Amiga Community and basically licence it myself for a penny to folk who genuinely are Amiga fans and not a bunch of rip of merchants... _________________

I did mention it once in a rant about CUSA but was told at the time I was telling porky pies...
So I just kept it to myself after that, waiting to see if anyone else would notice... _________________

True... but just think if the owner of the above Trademark prevented anyone from using the Amiga trademark to advertise or use on their software, be kinda awkward trying to get folk to buy a new system when you can't advertise any software for it using the Amiga name... _________________

Yes but in this case we're talking hardware not software. Software would affect Hyperion more than CUSA.
Since currently AmigaOS and AmigaOne are not only dead they have been removed entirely.

Nonetheless there's only one active trademark and it covers:
"COMPUTERS, COMPUTER DISK DRIVES, RAM EXPANSION CARTRIDGES, COMPUTER MONITORS, AND COMPUTER MODEMS"
and NOT Computer Cases. |

That's a huge grey area that I personally wouldn't want to get into. Nissan computer got sued by Nissan Motor Company. Nissan Computer won and was awarded damages. However what they were awarded according to them was only about 2% of the cost to defend the case.
