  • Maker of the Vega Plus told it can no longer use trademarks

    Earlier this week, Retro Computers Ltd, maker of the ZX Spectrum Vega Plus handheld, announced that it had finally started to ship the first 400 units of its troubled console to crowdfunding backers, nearly two years after it was originally scheduled to launch.

    "It has been a well documented long and difficult road," the company said, before adding, "Well, we have now proved all negative claims to be false." Unfortunately for everyone involved in the whole sorry saga, new information has now come to light revealing that Retro can no longer use the Sinclair or ZX Spectrum trademarks in conjunction with its beleaguered machine.

    As reported by the BBC, broadcaster and rights-holder Sky made the decision to withdraw Retro Computers' use of the trademarks in May, following the company's persistent failure to deliver the Vega Plus to backers of the 2016 Vega crowdfunding campaign. Retro Computers' license to use the trademarks will expire on August 7th.
