According to the Executive Update 3rd Jan 2000
http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/jan3rd2000.htmlHere is what was acquired from Gateway:
1. All trademarks logo's etc.
2. All existing inventory of Amiga International
3. All existing licenses.
4. License to All Amiga patents (Gateway still owns the patents, but we are able to use them).5. All web sites, and registered domain names.
6. The Amiga OS and all that is associated with the OS.
7. The Amiga operation as it exists today.
Acer now OWNS Gateway 2000, so Acer OWNS Amiga patents.
On October 16, 2007 the acquisition by Acer became final and Gateway became a privately held company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acer.
The board of directors resigned and a new board was appointed.

Maybe Acer dont know what they have ?
Has Hyperion a partnership with ACER ?
Is Hyperion interested in PA-RISC based Amigas ? SPARC64 VII ?
