Re: Statute of Limitations

If breach of oral agreement, 2 years. If breach of written agreement, 4 years. Misappropriation of intellectual property, not sure. See a lawyer in your locale.

Re: Statute of Limitations

If you have a written agreement, which you'll need to win such case, then 4 years from breach is the time limit. Oral contract limit is 2 years, but good luck with that. If you actually have a agreement that you can prove, and if you actually have substantial damages you can prove, and if you're timely, and if the corporation is not insolvent/broke, feel free to contact me if serious about pursuing this.
