...and a company with the same owner as Cloanto purchased the remaining Amiga IP from them months later.

This would make Cloanto as much a hardware company as the "Amiga" license given to Philippe Lang, IContain or Commodore USA made Amiga Inc. Delaware a hardware company.
Honorable mention also to Writ Media Group (formerly Writer's Group Film Corp. at the time of transaction).
This is to this day still the only record of what they think they own:

Imagine you go to a bakery. You don't want to buy the entire bakery,
just the bagels. The bakery puts the bagels into a plastic bag. They
hand you the bag and you examine the bagels, pay for them, and take
them home. Amiga Games Inc, in a business sense, is like the plastic
bag. First it was owned (or controlled) by Amiga Inc (Bill McEwen),
Amiga Inc filled it with the stuff Writer's Group wanted to buy.
Writer's Group examined the contents, paid for it, and took it home.
(Not a perfect metaphor, but hopefully it helps illustrate the
relationship between Amiga Inc, Amiga Games Inc, and Writers Group)
