Introduction Design marks

Registered Amiga Marks is a list of registered Trademarks that are relevant to the Amiga. It is compiled by having a few simple spider scripts ask a bunch of public trademark databases for hits on „Amiga“, „Workbench“ and similar terms and then doublechecking the output manually.

While the author is trying to make sure this list is as complete as humanly possible, he does not make any guarantees in this regard. If you're planning to make use of any Amiga related marks, you might want to do your own research to be on the safe side.

It is important to note that this document only lists registered marks. A trademark does not have to be registered to be protected – active use is completely sufficient to claim the rights to a mark. Registering it simply makes defending it a lot easier. Examples for Amiga related trademarks not or no longer registered but still in active use at the time of writing would be Aminet, AmigaOne or Amigastore.

There are a few marks that are neither registered nor in active use. The checkmark used on this document's title page was never a registered mark as far as we can tell and hasn't been used commercially since AmigaOS 3.5's boot screen, i.e. since 1999.

This document currently lists 67 active and 59 inactive Amiga related trademarks. The source document – a spreadsheet in ODS format – is attached to this PDF. You're welcome to do with it whatever you want, but if have you additions or corrections the author would prefer if you notified him instead of distributing your own edition.

While most of the trademarks listed in this document are „Word“ marks – i.e. the mark is just the actual term listed – some of them are Figurative or Combined marks. In other words: they contain graphical elements which are part of the actual trademark.

For completeness' sake, those design marks are listed below. Note that the following logos are © Amiga, Inc. and are only used nominatively here for documentation purposes:

© 2011, 2012, 2016 Christoph GutjahrDistributed under the Creative Commonse – Zero licenceCheckmark logo by Pixel8 and Flanker, CC-BY-SA 2.5

Whenever a figurative or combined „Amiga“ mark is mentioned, the first logo displayed above is the mark in question. The other design marks are the powered by Amiga logo and the Boingball.

2011-04-26 1.0 First public release.

Both of Amiga Inc.'s „Amiga“ trademarks in Germany have expired. They still own the EU mark „Amiga“ though, which covers the entire EU territory.

In Germany, Maik Heinz filed for „Amiga Classix“ to replace his expired „AMIGA CLASSIX“ mark. Amiga Classix is a series of CD based game compilations for retro gamers

Restructured the document to make it easier to browse, added a short introduction. simplified the entries in the „type“ column – they might not be 100% accurate anymore, but „word“ vs. „anything else“ is more clear now.

Added lots of missing trademarks from various European countries. No remarkable additions, but we should be mostly complete now – at least as far as the US and the EU is concerned. Switzerland, Canada etc. are next.

Minor update: missed one (dead) trademark in the US: „World of Amiga“, registered by Commodore-Amiga Inc. in 1990, cancelled in 1998.

Amiga Inc. lost five US trademarks at once, due to not documenting their use in commerce or requesting a six month extension of time to file a Statement of Use.

Now that the trademark dispute between Cloanto and Amiga Inc. is over, the US marks AMIGA FOREVER and WORKBENCH are officially owned by Cloanto. Also fixed a few typos

9 „Amiga Development LLC“ is a Gateway subsidiary holding a trademark and patent portfolio, including Amiga related IP when Gateway was the owner of said Amiga IP. The company still exists, but has been renamed in the meantime.

10 In 2003, it was discovered that Amiga, Inc. didn't own any registered trademarks regarding software products. William „Bill“ Buck of Genesi/MorphOS fame tried to register a trademark „Amiga“ covering computer software. The attempt was abandoned later on.
