Jeremy is аn engineer bаsed in Oklаhоma City, Oklahоma where he designs and builds mоdern aircraft for large airlines, such as American Airlines, Delta, and Frontier through his entity: OKC Aviation Engineers, Inc. Jeremy and his pal Augustus have been friends for over ten years, and Augustus also works in the aviation industry. Augustus informed Jeremy that his business partner, Albert Locke recently developed a process by which engineers can slightly bend an airplane's wings during production to make them more aerodynamic and suggested that Jeremy call Locke to get involved in developing a new project studying this process. During his conversations with Locke, Jeremy ended up purchasing the process, which is patented with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. Jeremy purchased the patent for approximately $5 million and integrated the process within OKC Aviation Engineers. Jeremy made millions off of the process and in 2023, he sold the company. Jeremy also separately sold the patent he acquired seven years prior from Locke for approximately $10 million. Jeremy's gain derived from the sale of the patent will be considered a long-term capital gain.
