In a continued effort to protect their product development and engineering efforts, Heizer Defense, LLC has filed a complaint in the United States District Court for ten counts.

This includes declaration of inventorship and transfer of rights for patent No 8,495,831 and for the declaration of invalidity and unenforceability, or alternatively correction of inventorship and transfer of rights for design patent No. D686,685.

We would expect the lawsuit to establish, among other things, that Charles Heizer, Founder of Heizer Aerospace, is an inventor for this patent.
The defendants of the complaint are Doubletap Defense LLC, f/k/a Heizer Technologies, LLC; Central Holding Corp.; Raymond Kohout, and Marvin Dufner.

The parties have agreed to mediation that is scheduled to take place in November.

Heizer Defense is a high technology, state of the art firearm company based in Pevely, Missouri. Heizer Defense is an affiliate company to Heizer Aerospace, which manufactures fracture critical components for aerospace companies, NASA and the military.
Established in 1962, Heizer Defense Engineers apply this same military technology to create high quality firearms. New products will be launched in Fall 2013. Heizer engineered and developed the new Pocket Derringers with several patents pending.

Heizer was founded by Charlie Heizer who escaped from war-torn Hungary over 50 years ago. He has dedicated his life to engineering solutions that support American values and freedom.
