This is an excerpt from the paper...
Let's begin with the company name. There is no indication that a trademark search was ever conducted to ensure that no other company is already using the name Characters Galore. Thus, Jeff, at least, is subjecting himself to a possible trademark infringement lawsuit (See, generally, chapter 19.77 RCW). He should immediately perform a trademark search on the name. If the name is clear, he should register it as a trademark. If it is not clear, he should immediately stop using it and find one that is clear. To who or what organization, however, shall Jeff register the clear trademark? He can register it to himself and then transfer it to whatever organization this group of people eventually form. But what would be the best form of that organization? At this point, we'll discuss it as though Brian had not yet left the organization. Jeff, John, Darlene and Brian have agreed to be "partners" and share equity interest in 50 percent of the organization. Jeff will actually own 20 percent as the "manager" of the organization. Aunts Jennifer and Rita own the other 50 percent.

The EEOC has made clear that a significant factor in sexual harassment cases is the presence or not of an established policy at the company (See, e.g., Goforth 1). Admittedly, the company was in its initial stages, but Jeff had accepted management responsibilities and thereby put himself in jeopardy.
Brian
More than likely Brian signed an agreement assigning his rights in the development of any software at his former company to that company. He may also have signed non-disclosure and non-competition agreements. More than likely, however, Brian can still use his general knowledge of software development as well as non-trade-secret information to create a program that helps create the graphics for CG. Still, even though Brian has left the company, Jeff should find out what rights Brian assigned before he uses any software Brian developed for CG.
Regarding Brian's complaint to the EEOC, Jeff can do nothing but respond to the EEOC's requests for information. As noted above, Jeff will be hurt by the lack of an established harassment policy, but he should be helped by Brian's history of making such complaints (assuming those compl
