They don't own the trademarks, there's a lot of interesting history [1] and it seems a company called Polabe Holding [2] does. The allegation seems to be that they acquired Commodore USA assets which included a license to use the trademarks [3], but the company they were licensed from did not actually own the trademarks [4] and lost a lawsuit over it.

I think this only scratches the surface, it seems like a delightful mess. It doesn't look like they have any rights to use the trademark, though.

Trademarks expire if not used. Registered trademarks have periodic renewal requirements with specific timelines. If I'm reading the article correctly, the last time the brand was used on a licensed product was 2012ish with the C64x; I don't think the My64 used the brand and I don't think it was licensed if it did?

Looks like it's here: https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4802:11...

Those links aren't permalinks. I've included registration numbers below that you should be able to search for in TESS (http://tess2.uspto.gov/) (select registration number). Sorry, I'm not sure how to direct link to the record.

After a quick search, the best I could find are these two entries. They both have the same registrant (Polabe? and same attorney). There was another Commodore 64 (tm), but it was for 2D and 3D avatars, which seemed quite odd to me.

Ah thanks for the info. I copied and pasted it in a new window before submitting and it had worked, guess the session didn't time out yet. Yeah those are the ones I thought matched as well.
