local inventor steamrolled

Facing intense and sustained pressure from the XYZ Corporation out of Wilmington, DE, local Maryland inventor Mr. D. caved to demands. (As per the request of the involved parties, all names have been changed in or removed from this piece.) Instead of continuing to promote and distribute the ingenious device he came up with to efficiently tackle something every American male faces every day, namely (omitted), Mr. D.’s invention is now the property of XYZ. The corporation manufactures and distributes a number of devices men use to (omitted) their (omitted). Their devices, however, have a higher cost and are less efficient than that of Mr. D.

Rumors indicate that Mr. D. received a one-time payout in the high six-figure range to sell the patent and production rights to his device. XYZ claimed that it would start redistributing Mr. D.’s invention as soon as its various overseas manufacturing streams had had time to adjust, and the appropriate number of domestic workers had been fired to recoup the payout costs. Mr. D. promptly set about renovating his parents’ dilapidated row-house.
