Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

The manufacturer owes you no duty of course and who knows what the issue is there. The inventor owes you best efforts, so a better question is what exactly is he doing regards to the non-payment? And why is the manufacturer expected to pay the inventor? Is the M also distributing the product as well? Do you have a written agreement in place?

If you suspect there is more to the story perhaps you need to apply some pressure like a letter from legal counsel.

If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.

Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section):

DISCLAIMER: this is not intended to be specific legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. No attorney-client relationship is formed on the basis of this posting.

More information is needed, such as:

1. Do you have a written agreement regarding the invention and what does it provide as to these issues.

2. Is the manufacturer also the distributor or are these separate businesses?

3. What role does the inventor play in the manufacturing, distribution, sales and receipts portions of the businesses.

4. Have any issues been raised about the invention by its retailers?

When these answers are supplied, a better reply to you can be undertaken.

Though without further information the assumption is that the manufacturer does not owe a duty of disclosure, nonetheless an inquiry from an attorney might yield information. Same goes for the inventor.

This is a type of issue where the rubber needs to meet the road and the law books meet business reality. I'm happy to assist. Contact me directly.
