For what it's worth, here are the important links all in one place:
euipo and uspto
Please note new suspension letter from December 2, 2020 for the U.S. trademark and any other new entries since I made the posting.

I know, i know...
I'm for sure interested in this.
I always dream for a Commodore + Amiga comeback.
I know Amitv. For sure he saw something on internet for asking about this...

Commodore did very little for the Amiga other than launching it and new designs with cost reduction. They wouldn’t release the Ranger chipset and refused to launch the A3000+. Newtek did more for Big box Amiga sales than Commodore. Marketing was next to none existent. MOS Semiconductors was never invested in either.

Please read my links.
"COMMODORE BUSINESS MACHINES LTD" is not the Commodore to which you refer.
That CBM (if you read the history) dissolves and reforms very often. Although the history on that site only lists the most recent strike off, there have been others.
They are the company, in fact, who filed the objections to the Commdore trademarks in my links. Simply compare the names and addresses and you'll see this.
Added: Just checked. The last strike off activity: Source Plenty more to read in the thread: thread later retitled by Mike to "moral compass"

There is only one way to find it out:
Anounce a Commodore computer with the 'C=' logo.
The brand might has been split into smaller parts, for people selling phones or game computers. |

From the page link in prior post. Now registered to Polabe with euipo. Given their U.S. suspension notice indicating that Euro registration was a prerequisite to the uspto granting their U.S. registration, we may see a single owner soon of multiple Commodore trademarks.

Referring to the link and info given in the last 2 postings:
The information on the page changed yet again.
Quote:
Trade mark status Application opposed |
And under opposition it has changed from "closed" to "open"
In addition the nice classifications have added 2 classes.
just days ago it was "25 clothing, 38 telecommunications"
Today it has added back 9 and 42, which basically covers computers, peripherals, and software.
If anyone cares to clarify why this particular filing has changed so often lately, please do so. So far, all I've seen is a claim of a split decision, which this document makes clear as mud.

It looks like that is the one being dissolved in UK, they had a rented virtual address in London. They have announced a lot of products but the only ones I could find was an Android game. |

thanks. i've been on here for 10-15 years, just never registered before (or lost old account, i don't remember), i come back every year. i remember the phone now, and it was kind of in line with what amiga inc tried earlier - android games. haven't read the trademarks story yet, but with regards to uk registration, i wonder if it's because of brexit - those guys don't have uk citizenship nor made significant investments, therefore the strike off at the time brexit took effect? anyway, would be interesting who registers next. obviously i'm not holding my breath and not expecting anything, the last 25 years taught me to not expect anything and always lower expectations. i'll have a read later.

In that case welcome -back- instead of welcome. heh.
If you are a history buff the story really begins: here
For pure comedy relief try post #98.
