Thanks T. For clarification, there are clauses in the sale of the company. As Gary was sole owner and subcontracted Mike, he wasn't deemed an 'Employee' but worked to Gary's requirements. He may have had an artistic hand in the design but ultimately the IPR belonged to Gary. The clauses in the contract of sale say:
MR. GARY JANES ( GJ ) has ceased to have control of *******(Removed for legal reasons but not affecting the meaning) products relating to the SAMMIO SPYDER ( SS ) or SAMMIO CORDITE ( SC ).
No new orders will be received by GJ for SS or SC related items.
Control of the website , advertising , promotion etc has also passed to AP.
GJ may continue to trade under the SAMMIO banner but not with contradiction to the agreement above.
Any Sammio product not relating to the SS or SC line will continue to be the property of GJ , namely the G46 Concept. (Obviously this has now been taken on by Gaz, completing the old Sammio 'Set')
