Looks like due to the recent Settlement between Amiga Inc and Cloanto
http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pno=91183272&pty=OPP CommodoreUSA is no longer using Workbench 5 as the name. Once again proving that C=USA using names before they checked weather they could use it.http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_OS.aspx From the forum:- "Well, as you may have realised we were never firm on the name of our Commodore OS. So Commodore OS it is. Clearly the Commodore brand is stronger than the Amiga brand. It is definitely stronger than the Workbench name also. It probably didn't make much sense as the name of the OS on the C64x and we were thinking of calling that Commodore OS anyway. Our initial thoughts were to go with Commodore OS, well before we got the Amiga trademark licensed. I am greatly relieved at the outcome actually, as the Workbench name gave rise to an immense amount of fanciful expectations of what our OS will be. " Now I'm just wondering does this mean Cloanto now could use the name? Amiga Forever renamed Workbench 5 Who actually own Workbench name and who can use it?
