[Software Dispute] Cole, Kyra, and Morton are partners in a startup company that designs software for the biotechnology industry. Their partnership agreement contained a provision that the partnership would be dissolved when Morton retires, or if any partner commits any act that violates the trust of the other partners. The partnership agreement also provided that all intellectual property related to the business of the partnership, including any patents, be owned by the partnership. Cole decides to open another company, ColeCompany, that would design gaming software.
