Acer never owned anything Amiga. The copyrights and trademarks can easily be looked up, while the patents expired before Acer even bought Gateway.

No FUD. Nothing I have seen convince me Cloanto own the ROMs. Trademark on "Amiga" got nothing to do with that.

You are right in that this has nothing to do with trademarks. Copyright assignments can be researched on this US Government site (here a sample output for "Cloanto"):
