Patents

Project Sureshot is an innovative system, and involves half a dozen patents. These are owned by the company, of course, but at least one or two of the inventors are resentful of that, and especially resentful of the fact that they have been sucked into the military, and aren't available for civilian use as far as sie can tell.
At least one key patent is still being written, and has not yet been submitted. The original inventor is very tempted to send the company down the tubes, simply to throw a monkey wrench in the works of that patent, and hopefully get it into the public domain instead.
Investor basically wants as many patents as possible to be passed successfully. That way, even if the company is wrecked by this incident, there will still be enough value to sell.
