I see you re-entered your post that was deleted prior.
Just to be clear, since you are obviously referring to the trademark for Amiga Forever (euipo) regarding usage:
The classification of "surrendered" means that trademark # is dead dead dead. So you need not be concerned about that one now. Frankly it had zero chance of survival from the start. It had been described in notes long ago that it was just a bargaining chip for later settlement talks.

the longer the lawsuit endures the more certain all companies involved will be the looser. The Vampire Team had problems to distribute V2 cards because they no loger could license 3.1 roms because of the lawsuit so they have adapted aros roms and can now distribute the cards without 3.1 licenses (V4 is distributed with aros roms already for some time). So both are now loosing a secure customer for the roms. Of course users can and will still use the roms they want but we all have lots of roms already and there is no problem to find them in web if you search so finally both sides will loose lots of money. I (as egoist ;) ) hope they will continue for another year then the amiga roms will be more or less obsolet.
