The rights to the SAM 'robot' are owned jointly by Robin Evans, Alan Miles and myself.
Overall Robin Evans is at the top of the pile. I have inherited, via MGT plc and then SAMCo the rights to use the SAM Robot in anything to do with the SAM Computer - including promotion of the machine, software and many other areas. To be honest the contract is very involved. In some cases Robin Evans has a veto on things - adverts in high-street mags would have to be passed by him. Alan Miles retained the rights to use the SAM Robot in educational software and in children's books. If Robin Evans wished to licence the SAM Robot for any other commercial use, then MGT (me) would have the right to be consulted and to veto anything that went against the interests of the Sam computer. In effect. At this time. Robin would be free to do anything he wanted - except use the SAM character to promote computer products. HTH. -- Bob.
