Lawsuit: Court denies Cloanto's motion for preliminary injunction
In the lawsuit between Cloanto and Hyperion yesterday the court has denied the motion for preliminary injunction against the sale of AmigaOS 3.1.4 (PDF file). After the futile attempt of registering the trademark "Workbench" also in the EU, this is the second setback for Cloanto in a row.
The court found that Cloanto could not provide sufficient evidence for the claimed irreparable harm. This decision does not affect the judgment of the principal proceedings: Was the sale of AmigaOS 3.1.4 lawful?
