BPL, no one in their right mind is going to publish civil court transcripts and it's likely there's a NDA preventing such an action. Yes, there was a sale, which I remember from the early 90's. Yes, there have been several suits and obligatory counter suits, none of which have been positive for BRG. No, there isn't two companies of the same name, though BRG is trying hard to weasel previously sold rights away from BRI, using a time honored approach, of seeing how many times they can get away with abuses, before the next case is raised/decided.
BRG's rights to the original BRI plans have been sold multiple times, since the initial sale. If they (BRG) where really interested in their plan rights, they'd have found a way to buy them back or enter into some sort of agreement. Of course, this is much more costly and legally challenging, than just flooding the net with hype, slanderous innuendo and plain 'ol BS about what they actually own. Bluntly put, BRG found it's way into such financial ruin, it had no choice but to sell it's most precious items (plans rights). Considering their business practices since the sale, they're less valued than beating on the companies (yes, plural) that purchased them. This is the primary reason BRG has such a crappy business reputation. If you really want to know what's up, call Bruce. Within 30 seconds of mentioning this debate, you'll quickly find what type of person he is and why the rage continues.
The sale and settlements are public record, though I don't feel the need to look them up, as I know what they are, they are available in both the US and Australia.
