The Brand commodore was acquired in 2014 by the young engineer and man d 'Affairs Italian Massimo Canigiani. Inestenuante campaign d 'acquisition of several domains "commodore". Still remains in mystery, however, the true intention of the new pioneer of one of the most recognized brands in the world

Why doesn't AEON, Amiga Kit or the Amiga community put money in a kitty to buy the name? At least that way, you could have control over your future.

I don't really associate the Commodore brand with "the future" in any positive way. In their time they were one of the worst run companies around -- Amiga survived in spite of them, not because of them.

It would be very nice and fascinating to have A-EON renamed in "Commodore", but probabily the brand would be relatively expensive...
I don't have idea about present value of the Commodore brand, maybe tens of thousands of Euros or more...

It's not relevant to Amiga anymore.

Commodore ceased to be relevant when they went bankrupt in 1994.

If I had to choose between Samsung and Commodore tablet I could choose Commodore tablet... why? Because of nostalgia.

At least then they would be able to port it to other architectures instead of sticking with the overpriced dying ppc platform.

If the brand was acquired someone reliquished it.

I would start from there.

It's more likely someone has gotten scammed and thinks they own C= IP. I can't see C= Holding giving the IP up without a 8 if not 9 digit payment. Their last legal bill had to be in the mid 7 digit range for their victory over AsiaRim in New York court. People backing C= Holding have very deep pockets.

@damocles

That sounds like an awful lot of money for a simple brand. Are Commodore Holdings part of the progressive global elites?
