Well, who doesn't love the early 90's?

The autobolt, because AR-15 and SR-25 based rifles simply cannot be THAT accurate..... For practical purposes, the crossover point where bolt actions can be made more accurate than certain semi-autos is in the bench rest realm, where the rifles simply become silly and impractical for any other purpose anyways. I've had AR-15's that could print rather impressive groups without even hand-loading ammunition for them; somewhere in the realm of 0.15-0.25 MOA.

I will go back through my documents again, but I don't remember signing anything ceding my rights, and I wouldn't have signed any document containing such language. There was no contract regarding and design or product development work, and the founding documents didn't contain any language ceding my rights. There was an expressed (and witnessed by multiple other people, on multiple occasions) understanding with the founders/owners that I was taken on board specifically for the first piece of IP that I provided them, and that I was not taken on board as a designer/inventor. Mostly they got it into their heads that because I owned a small part of the company that I had a duty to provide them with additional designs without receiving any compensation for them other than when the ownership took a dispersal from the company. I know a local patent lawyer that I can talk to, I've worked with him before, I will contact him for additional assistance. Thanks.

Design patent.

Ok, here is an IP scenario that may or may not be based on actual events: An LLC claims that they own certain IP of an individual who, at the time of creating the IP, owned part of the LLC, but the individual was never compensated for this IP. The individual was also never on the payroll of the company (as in, no W-2). The individual was then removed from ownership of the LLC before the LLC made claims of ownership of the IP. So, is the LLC's claim of ownership valid?

Somehow I managed to play a T-50-2 for 12 battles without even noticing it...

How does this happen?
