    Number6, you know anything about this?

    As an aside, as of April 2019 Elite was granted an exclusive licence to use the mark(s) C=Commodore, together with their associated imagery, on certain apparel. Consequently, only Elite may develop, market and sell such apparel throughout the UK. Maybe other legal warnings forth coming!

    I asked Fiery Phoenix where he got this information in that thread. I don't follow these things like you do. Does Cloanto own most Commodore 8bit IP these days? Logos, trademarks? Is there still another entity giving out licenses?


    I can only comment on the trademarks, since that is what I looked into for years. You'll recall the older history...C=Holdings B.V. prevailed in their lawsuit against Asiarim and Asiarim's licenses to Manomio and CommodoreUSA were terminated as part of the result.

    Since then:

    2 links at bottom should bring us current

    3 links at bottom relate to who filed this action

    It is entirely possible that C=Holdings B.V. and/or Polabe Holdings N.V. have since licensed their trademarks. I haven't looked into that.
