Otiko has zero patents granted and zero published patent applications. Regardless, the Complaint that Keough filed was for federal trademark infringement, trademark dilution, false designation of origin, breach of contract, unfair competition, tortious interference with a business relationship or expectancy, conversion, and civil conspiracy.
As a reminder, Otiko's efforts to Dismiss those Claims failed...BIGLY.
Investigations are NOT built on stories...LOL. To fairly discuss the merits of the case, one needs to recognize the word "patent" is not in the above stated claims.
Long before Otiko submitted a provisional patent application for the technology Keough acquired for $300k, he was advertising Keough's Trademarked product as if it was his own.
