DW took his hAir trigger to AGD and TK was interested but only if there was a patent in place and if DW made some changes to make it easier to tune.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention (AO's) rabidchihauhau who was shutting everyone down that tried to sell kits in the early years, including myself. He made claims on the forum he never sent out cease and desist letters which was just to say it wasn't an official letter. I know this to be fact because I was one of those guys that got a "warning note" (not a C&D letter, inside joke, but it's talked about in the old threads)
I dont recall if rabidchihauhau worked for PTP but IIRC he wrote the patent for them..
