Cloanto _CLAIMS_ to own the copyrights. So far they could not prove anything. 
They are also inconsistent in what they do - just check what stuff they 
registered at the US copyright office (includes amiga things, 1541 roms, but 
NOT c64 roms. strange?) they'll happily sell you a license for whatever rom, 
of course :)

those italian guys are scammers (chinese phones with cbm logo). they 
registered the brand already once some years ago, and then it was deleted 
because polabe went over them. apparently they did they same again now, polabe 
is already on it. not how they dont actually use the chickenhead logo, its 
something similar with CBM under it - just different enough to the original to 
fool the autodetection at the trademark office.

polabe bv and commodore international bv are the same group of ppl, btw. those 
are two different legal entities, one in netherland and the other in 
luxembourg (iirc). this is the one jens licensed the logo and brand from.

you can get all the facts from the european trademark register.
