Not a patent attorney (or an Xpel installer!) but I buy and sell companies for a living and IP ownership and defense is not something these guys take lightly. IP attorneys are a special breed of people that shit gets very complicated and very detailed very quickly.

Hopefully if there is some merit to the claim some sort of licensing arrangement could be worked out as opposed to Xpel going under over this. All depends on exactly what, if anything, is the precise issue. Unfortunately for them it's not a scenario where the end customer would demand a dual source for supply chain purposes and pressure 3M to allow Xpel to stay in the game.
