Episode 215-2: Leave the Gun, Take the McFlurry

This podcast article covers Kytch founder Jeremy O’Sullivan’s allegations that Taylor (maker of soft-serve ice cream machines) and an associated distributor/franchisee illegally obtained and reverse engineered a Kytch device, prompting Kytch to file suit for breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets; the piece frames the dispute as an example of how IoT/software can be used to lock customers and enable planned obsolescence rather than a technical security analysis.
