Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

Some questions:
If Apple were to use LiquidMetal for car parts (which I doubt), would they have to pay royalties to LQMT, since this would not be CE?

Apple does not share its glory, but everyone knew that Gorilla Glass was used on the iPhone. Even if they obtained material for which the LQMT patent had expired from another source, which they probably would not name, wouldn't this information eventually become public, and if it did, would it attract attention to LQMT?

Finally, could Apple prevent Samsung from using the original Vitreloy, whose patent has expired, from another source? Could Samsung buy it from Materion? That's the only possible justification I can see for all the speculation about amorphous alloy in the S6.
