Atari, Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States in 2013.
The filing followed a dispute between Atari, Inc. and its French parent company, Atari SA, formerly known as Infogrames Entertainment. Atari, Inc. sought to separate itself from the parent company through bankruptcy and sell its assets independently.
The American company listed assets and liabilities in the bankruptcy proceedings and began pursuing buyers for major properties, including the Atari brand and several classic game franchises. The case was not the bankruptcy of the original Atari arcade company from the 1970s and 1980s, although the corporate history was connected.
Atari's U.S. bankruptcy proceedings concluded after asset sales and a reorganization. Atari SA continued operating as a separate company, later focusing on retro games, licensing, and entertainment projects.
