As the use of the trademarks is all CUSA really has (had?) they figured they'd play the big men and show off with their posturing as the rightful owners. Carrion birds.

As someone on AW.net has just pointed out, the trademark is only dead for software.

So just to be clear, the Amiga trademark IS still valid.

And you know what it's valid for?

(From the patents office)
"COMPUTERS, COMPUTER DISK DRIVES, RAM EXPANSION CARTRIDGES, COMPUTER MONITORS, AND COMPUTER MODEMS"

Strikes me that TheDaddy's case does *not* fall under any of the above. A case is not a computer, a disk drive, a RAM expansion, a monitor nor a modem.

In other words, he can call his case "an Amiga" in whatever style or font he wants. He can even use the logo with the red square if he wants, because that one has expired.

So there - C=USA licensed the rights to make Amiga computers, but NOT cases.

Sell a floppy disk or CD with some little "hello world" program and use the case as packaging.

Don't even need to do that. If they'd done like Asus (for example) did and license it for "G & S: parts for computers." it'd be different. But they were specific and they excluded computer cases.
The case can be called "Amiga". Just don't put a motherboard in it because then they would have grounds.

That trademark is registered to AMIGA, INC. CORPORATION WASHINGTON, which has been bankrupt for many years and has released no products for over 5 years. It is abandoned, just nobody has bothered to do the paperwork.

BigBentheAussie is Leo Nigro - CTO of Commodore USA. Unsure how he does his job from across the world.

It takes one to know one I guess. Only you could manage to turn this into an excuse to take a shot at anything you perceive as being associated in any way whatsoever, no matter how tenuously, to OS4.

A guy made a case for a wedge system. It could contain anything. A PC, a Rasberry Pi, minimig, Sam. You could probably fillet a PPC mac mini and get it in there, or an efika. He showed some pictures of it with some stickers resting on it and CUSA got a touch of butthurt over it.

I must have missed the part where this is became about BAFs.

Honestly, I think you should get help. You're obsessed

Well I was going to just say ignore the poster who asked for the LEDs not to be blue.
I really like blue LEDs.

Now tempted to ask for the word Amiga, to be put on the case also

Blue LEDs are a blight and murder on the eyes of countless innocent electronics purchasers, and anyone who uses them will be purged when the revolution comes.
