Legal Question in Intellectual Property in North Carolina

interlectual property

I stupidly signed a contract/agreement with a company that markets (as their own) a supercharger kit that I designed,fabricated and make all of the parts for. It is a toyota tacoma V6. They are now trying to stop me from marketing another supercharger kit for a different vehicle made by the same manufacturer (toyota tundra V8 ) They have no financial stake in the second kit and provided no assistance to me during development. Can they claim my invention as their own and legally stop me from marketing the second kit.

Maybe. I would need to a) review the contract you entered into b)interview you re: similarities of the 2 kits and c) determine the cost benefit or infringement action (assuming the patent status of the 2 inventions)

Mr. Anderson is correct; we can't answer you without more information plus you're asking for a legal opinion, which is never free if it is worth anything. We can give you a free referral to an NC attorney/firm.
