The Comodore Trademark has been sold and resold in Holland in the last six years
as far as I can tell both the Tulip and the Escom company have at least been
holder
of the trade mark and at least one of them payed no more than Fl 100,- (=$40,-)
I dont know if this applied only to a dutch (benelux) trademark or the worldwide
trademark.

If the comodore company once again exists it is certainly not the same company
that gave us the VIC & the C64.

My guess is that the trademark was for grabs once more and somebody
is trying to beat a few more bucks out of it.

Branding a run off the mill clone with the comodore logo and supplying a
couple of emulators and a special keyboard with it, truely sounds like a hype in
the
making. It'll blow over pretty soon.
