Inspired Development Group and Mitchell Prine v. Inspired Products Group (dba KidsEmbrace) (Fed. Cir. 2019)
Mr. Prine is the listed inventor of U.S. Design Patent No. D524,559 and several other super-hero related car seats. Prine formed Inspired Development and assigned patent ownership to that company. Prine then formed another company, KidsEmbrace, to sell the car seats with an exclusive license from Inspired Development. KidsEmbrace was then bought-out by Boliari who later terminated the license agreement. Prine sued for the money -- suing for breach and unjust enrichment under Florida law.
