People: Northrop Grumman has certain technical
Post# of 1352
Northrop Grumman has certain technical knowledge and trade secrets that were used by Cirque Energy, Inc., a subcontractor, to create a conceptual Deployable Gasification Unit
Northrop Grumman has certain rights and ownership, capabilities and certain know-how regarding a Deployable Gasification Unit
Northrop Grumman further conceptually developed and documented the DGU design in the “Proof of Concept Study” dated December 7, 2012 with CIRQUE as a subcontractor to Northrop Grumman in order to establish the requirements for the Program, and the Parties agreed that the Intellectual Property documented in the proof of concept study are owned by Northrop Grumman
...so please understand this when some complain about not hearing updates regarding said DGU. It's like they have no understanding of business and the world around them:
