Earlier this year, retro gaming YouTuber Christian "Peri Fractic" Simpson purchased the Commodore brand from a Dutch company, relaunching it with help from many former Commodore employees.

The revived brand is launching the Commodore 64 Ultimate, a new version of the iconic home computer based on Gideon Zweijtzer's Ultimate 64 Elite-II board.

It's not just the names but all the patents/trademarks as well. So whatever C Industries tries to accomplish here is just ridiculous and will most certainly fail.
