"I know, with all of the business registration and SEC in place, there is someone out there who is claiming that my invention is theirs. They've flagged it in the IPO, saying they have proof," Michael explained, his voice laced with frustration.

Michael sighed, running his hands through his hair. "That's the problem, I don't know. But I already received a subpoena from a court. I didn't even have the time to gather all the necessary documents for the invention, they are taking this to court."
