The Barys 6x6 was developed by the Paramount Group and a defence and engineering company in Kazakhstan. Paramount is now involved in a dispute with Twiga Services and Logistics about its Gila military vehicle.Two local arms manufacturers are locked in a court battle over a dispute about the ownership of the intellectual property of an armoured military vehicle.
According to legal experts, such a secret order is rarely granted because of its invasive nature and is granted to preserve evidence that would otherwise be lost or destroyed. Shares in IAD were purchased in 2012 by Paramount Combat Systems, a Paramount Group company which was liquidated in 2018. Paramount Land Systems, the current applicant in the court case, purchased all IP from the liquidated company, including the data pack for the Gila.
According to Craig, it appears De Lange kept copies of the Gila data pack after Ivema was deregistered.JJ Weideman was one of the key designers of the vehicle and is now employed by Paramount, with other designers. Craig says every drawing in such a data pack contains the initials of the designer of a component. The full pack consists of more than 1,600 drawings.
