Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by The plaintiff, Phillip W. Stanfield, appeals from the trial court's granting summary judgment against him and in favor of the defendants, Osborne Industries, Inc., Stanley M. Thibault, and Ronald Thibault, based on the doctrines of issue preclusion (collateral estoppel) and claim preclusion (res judicata). In the early 1970s, the plaintiff invented several products, including an electrically heated farrowing pad for use in the hog industry. The plaintiff consulted local businessmen in Osborne, Kansas, about his product ideas. In 1973, the businessmen formed and incorporated defendant Osborne Industries, Inc. (OII) to manufacture the heating pads and other products. OII hired defendant Stanley Thibault as president of the company. OII also hired the plaintiff about this same time. The plaintiff and OII entered into a written agreement, permitting OII to manufacture the plaintiff's farrowing pad in exchange for a royalty of the sales (1973 technology agreement).
