That's not too hot a name.
Amiga Technologies, if they must. But drop the german GmbH (I think that's
Gemeinshaft something). There is nothing inherantly wrong with GmbH, Ltd. or so
forth, but it may sound foreign for most international users. Plus, it's kind
of absurd to mix languages in the name.
Keep the legalese extensions for the corporate accountants.

Well, I guess they don't have a choice. A GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschrankter
Haftung <-> Corporation with limited liability) is a certain corporate
structure here in Germany and as far as I know you _must_ state your
coproration structure in you company's name.

Oh, OK.
But the ads and all don't need them, right?
Hi Christian,
>> But the ads and all don't need them, right?
Well, they don't have to put it in big letters. They can have a big headline
with "Amiga Technologies" and somewhere at the bottom of the page in a tiny
scribble "Amiga Technologies GmbH"…

Got it!
Regards.
Alex,
r.e. GmbH, I wouldn't think it would have to be part of the trade name. You
see BMW and Mercedes here all the time without the GmbH added to the name.

Sure they don't. Because they are an AG :)) No, seriously. If they make
anything that's official they have to use their complete corporate name (e.g.
Bayrische Motorenwerke AG, Mercedes AG, etc.). For advertising etc. they don't
have to add the corporate status. But on letter-heads and such stuff they
_must_ use it.

Alex,
Of course on the other hand, if I had an A4000 tower sitting here on my desk
right now I could care less if it had GmbH on it or not. 🙂

Amazing how that is… isn't it? 🙂
Actually, as long as it doesn't say "Commodore" on it anywhere I suspect
I'll just be thrilled!!

I've already scraped the "Commodore" name off my A3000!

Andre,

I know several other people who have done that also, to their A2000's as
well. I considered doing it but on my 2000 the C= Commodore is small enough
that I can visually ignore it, ditto on the keyboard.
I wouldn't be upset if I never again bought anything with the Commodore
trademark on it!

So:
The advertising says "We are now offering the Amiga Technologies A5000 with
built-in 24-bit graphics, 68060 CPU, 16-bit 8-channel sound, SCSI-2 controller,
CD-ROM, and gigabyte drive…."
And at the bottom of the page it says, in small print, "Amiga Technologies GmbH
is a wholly owned subsidiary of EsCom…

That's exactly the way I ment it 🙂

Now offering? Where is it?
Hi Herman,
>> Now offering? Where is it?
Nono, we were discussing if they had to use the "GmbH" suffix everytime they
publish anything ( in the future)…

Jim have you personally seen this ad? If so when and where? I would like to
know when, where and for how much I can get one of these machines! I'll start
saving now. Thanks for any CONFIRMED info.

Ahem,
That's an example of a "future ad" not officially or unofficially proposed by
anybody official (er, I guess you know what I mean…<g>), only used as an
example of what Escom might do about the gmbH portion of a german corporate
name…
