2017, initially to have a judge declare that the Italian company is the
rightful owner of the "Amiga" mark and that Hyperion neither has the right to
fight this trademark registration nor register similar marks like "AmigaOS"

and expanded the scope of the laswuit to cover issues of breach of contract,
trademark violations and alleged IP theft.
