That technology is in the breeze now; what difference at this point, does it make? What's your part in this?
I guess things should be broken down. Cavalry Arms sold all its intellectual property to Phagan. Phagan then sold all of that intellectual property to GWACS. Phagan was employed by all three companies by the way. Phagan is at KE Arms and KE Arms goes to the owner of Cavalry Arms and purchases blueprints and intellectual property. In GWACS lawsuit they are quite explicit about what was purchased from Nealon and how much was paid for it, $1,000 in cash and $9,000 in firearms accessories. Oh, and that Phagan assisted KE Arms in the development of the KP-15 with knowledge that he had no right to share. Then something about trademark infringements etc and broken contracts.
The allegations are that Phagan, Brownells, and KE Arms sign contracts that they are not wiling to live up too. GWACS is claiming that Phagan lied to them when he sold them the intellectual property. They are also claiming that Phagan broke his non-disclosure agreement when he left his employment with GWACS and went to KE Arms. The difference is that it is not about actual technology it is about being dishonest in business dealings and breaking signed contracts.
Not being a lawyer but using reasonable thinking skills some of the questions the court is being asked to resolve are:
1.) Did KE Arms purchase IP from Shawn Nealon?
2.) Was that IP part of the original sale to Phagan?
3.) Was that IP then part of the sale to GWACS?
4.) Did KE Arms use any of that IP for the development of the KP-15?
5.) Did Phagan know about Shawn Nealon having IP that belonged to GWACS?
6.) Did Phagan facilitate any part of the sale between Shawn Nealon and KE Arms?
7.) Did Phagan break any portion of the NDA and other contracts he had with GWACS?
8.) Did KE Arms break any portion of the contract it had between itself and GWACS?
9.) Did Brownells break any portion of its contract it had between itself and GWACS?
Also, remember one thing. GWACS is very specific in that it was 2 boxes of blueprints and a thumb drive containing IP. They are also very specific about the purchase price. Exactly $1,000 and $9,000 of firearm accessories. In my humble view this means a witness to these things is available.
My part? My part is the same as every KF poster in every KF post. What part do you have in Chris Chandler threads? What do you have to do with anything you post in?
