At the moment the production rights to Robin aircraft are split between two companies who can't agree on who owns what.

Finch own the rights to make aircraft but the remnants of the old company hold the rights to make the parts, the result is one hell of a squble in the French courts that is doing no one any good.
Its actually more of a mare's nest than that. There is a network of companies that are run or owned by chums of the old Apex CEO. These companies are completely independent of Apex/CEAPR - yeah, right. He is still heavily involved in the business and defends his property with some vigour in the courts.

But alongside that is the major growth of Dyn'Aviation run by the son of the Robin founder that has taken over parts of the CEAPR empire.

They are both on the Dijon-Darois airfield but the hostility is plane (sic) to see.

It's been 4 years now since Apex went down the pan, and it is still on-going to a greater or lesser extent.

What a shame, as the Robins are a fantastic aircraft. The Dyn'Aviation DR2 proposal looks very interesting
