CASE: NDA VIOLATION.

CASE

“AA-Labs” is a very well known research lab in the world of computer science. The leading lab in its circle. Since 2005, I (Ammar Ahmed) have been working with “A-A Labs”. We had made many products using ubiquitous computing. After many products  we had thought of something meaningful in the world of education, something for students, writers, etc. In 2010,  gave them an idea for a making a pen by which you you cannot have to write again an again, or writing a paragraph on paper then type the same thing for a soft copy on your laptop. Isn’t time consuming ??? So, by our pen you have to write only once, and then it automatically saves your article in its built-in 32gb memory, pen has another feature, which are you connecting this pen to your PC, so you can move your article to your hard disks. It has some other features like Bluetooth, Mp3, 3” touch panel. We had named our product “A’Pen”.

AA-Labs has signed the NDA with every employee working on this project, and registered the patent with our research lab name under PN-21/1239 from the Germany patent and trademark office.

After 2 years of starting a project one of our employees has resigned from the lab, which was hired by Apple Inc. 2012. Our lab signed another NDA with that employee which is lifetime NDA.

We had completed our product in 3 years. In Sept, 2014 we are about to launch this product all over the world. As we are making preparations for launching, we had seen a new product name “ipen” by Apple Inc. which is the same product as “A’Pen”  using the same technology.

Our Lab has decided to file a petition against Apple Inc. for copying our product, and against that employee for the violation of NDA as it has been invested that they he had revealed our idea and gave our researched material to Apple Inc.

This is to request you to accept the petition under the Germany Act Law and reconsider the patent checker specialist to authenticate the ownership of the product.

Thank you.
