B.           In March 2014, Tigrent discovered what it believes are violations and infringements upon its rights under the License Agreement by RDOC, R. Kiyosaki, Weeks and RD:GEO In connection with their creation or support of RD:GEO. On March 20, 2014, Tigrent’s outside counsel delivered a letter ( the “Demand Letter”) to RDOC, R.

Rich Dad Operating Company, LLC et. al., Cause No. CV2014-003169 (“the State Court Litigation”). In the State Court Litigation, Tigrent asserted claims for breach of License Agreement, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, tortious interference with, License Agreement, tortious interference with business expectancy, unfair competition and civil conspiracy.

Weeks et. al., Cause No. 2:14-cv-00660-DGC (“the Federal Court Litigation”). In the Federal Court Litigation, Tigrent asserted violations of 15 U.S.C. § 1114 and 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) relating to Weeks’s and RD:GEO’s alleged infringement of Tigrent’s rights to the Rich Dad-related trademarks.
