oasis@piefed.social 10 hours agoIf I remember correctly the company that gave him permission to use vantablack never gave him the ownership of it.
So presumably Amish couldn't do anything personally about it.

This is drama from a decade ago so don’t take it as gospel: Iirc, the contract Kapoor signed with Surrey gave him the right to enforce the patent when used in art or aesthetic design applications. I can’t remember if he sues as an involved party on behalf of Surrey or if he somehow has the right to sue directly, but the effect is the same. Basically Surrey didn’t want to deal with enforicng it, and signed over that as part of the exclusivity deal.
