Techcrunch VS. Fusion Garage Charge: Theft of the CrunchPad intellectual property The CEO of our partner on the project, Chandra Rathakrishnan, notified us we were no longer involved with the CrunchPad project. Chandra said that based on pressure from his shareholders he had decided to move forward and sell the device directly through Fusion Garage, without TC involvement. We jointly own the product intellectual property, and we solely own the CrunchPad trademark. It’s legally impossible for Fusion Garage to build and sell the CrunchPad device without our agreement.
