Need scope, resolving from global level on down.
Who is Chuck Moore?
TPL is the parent corporation of Intellasys.
Intellasys is a company cofounded by Chuck for producing his SeaForth processor.
What part of SeaForth does he own? He made all of the IP and personally backed more than $20M of the $40M invested.
In recent events, everyone on the SeaForth team was fired. Chuck included. TPL has laid claim to his patents and has paid him less than 1/3 of his contract.
edit: This is a summary of Chuck's published views. I am sure TPL's lawyers have very different views. I do hope Chuck's tech survives this.
