This is usually the initial step when trying to file opposition, so the United States Patent and Trademark Office is now listing Hyperion as a potential opposer.

Trademark: Application of new "Commodore" refused
Two years ago, Italian Massimo Canigiani tried to have the mark "Commodore" registered in the European trademark registry using his UK based company "Commodore Business Machines Ltd.". Although the design of Canigiani's mark was pretty much identical to the famous original mark - which is still listed as active in the very same EU trademark registry - he hoped to get away with this by applying for registration in a different procduct area (smartphones). But this hope has been dashed: The owner of the original trademark successfully appealed against Canigiani's application last autumn.

Amiga Inc. loses US trademark, new registrations from Cloanto and Hyperion
For years, Amiga, Inc. has been losing registered trademarks (examples: 1, 2) since expiring registrations were not renewed in time - but so far, only duplicate registrations or less important marks ("powered by Amiga") had been affected. On December 31 the final deadline for extending the registration of the only remaining US "Amiga" trademark expired: for a short period of time, the term was not a registered mark in the United States.
