Apple didn't buy the rights to Li's cheaper BMG formula,
and Li can use his BMG formula in CE so long as CIP is not used,
and Li can market BMG formula as Liquid Metal instead of Liquidmetal.
Looks to me like Li has outmanoeuvred Apple.
What do you suppose would happen to lqmt's share price (regardless of who manufactured it) if Apple uses the term 'Liquidmetal' ?
Professor Li is and his growing Medical empire, and now he is growing the BMG empire.

Couldn't ask for a better CEO of lqmt. Entrepreneur Extraordinaire.
Always learning more about Li and his companies.

New corporate strategy bears first fruit
Leader Biomedical has furthermore unveiled its own corporate identity and website.
The new corporate identity centres on the idea of “Extending your Reach” by increasing the access of next generation healthcare solutions to global markets, with an emphasis on high-growth emerging markets. Since the announcement of our strategy last year, Leader Biomedical has already started to deliver on this promise by setting up subsidiaries in India and China and consolidating its marketing and sales operations in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Finally, it has also entered into a partnership with Dora Medikal to promote its proprietary eCOO® Technology in Turkey. All these initiatives are in line with European Medical Contract Manufacturing or EMCM’s business strategy and will help it in its mission of becoming a centre for manufacturing excellence.
“Leader Biomedical was established to be a leading provider of biomaterials and medical implants with a strong footprint in high-growth markets, like China,” said Prof. Lugee Li, Founder and sole shareholder of Leader Biomedical.
“Through hard work and dedication, we’ve been able to move quickly and I am very pleased with the progress we have made. This is however only the beginning and you can expect more exciting news in the near future,” he continues.
Ultimately, Leader Biomedical’s ambition is to develop an integrated value chain encompassing new technological innovations, Manufacturing Operations (CMO & OEM), which will be EMCM’s main focus, and product marketing.
Leader Biomedical was founded by Prof. Li following the acquisitions of EMCM and aap Joints. The new corporate identity will bring these subsidiaries – along with future acquisitions – together under a single umbrella, uniting them through a common mission and vision.
We invite you to visit our new corporate website and contact us if you have any questions.
How can you claim that LQMT won’t earn $XYZ from CIP for CE,
and then admit that Apple does not have rights over DC-105s/INJ-105s ?
You are ignoring one of the main reasons for Steipp agreeing to the cross license agreement.....
DC-105s/INJ-105s.
You know, that magical BMG formula that Professor Li owns, that BMG formula that can make parts 3 times bigger at 1/3 the Cost. That BMG formula which Apple has no rights over whatsoever.
How often can small investors be part of "Angel Venture"?
We haven't heard any gloating from the usual suspects. Probably still licking their wounds from Thursday.
You think they would have learnt their lesson from the azz whooping last October 27. When both tranches were announced same day/time as Apple was holding their new product launch. Those that sold into the Apple rally (16-18cents) got caught with their pants down and never regained their original lqmt holdings.
If lqmt did not break through the 25 cent wall on Thursday, we would be hearing about their amazing, imaginary, trading skills. Ha!
Might have been possible in the past but now that Prof. Li having 46% of out shares, Board control and with Delaware’s anti takeover provisions, Its near impossible for an Apple takeover, just as well cause there will be greater shareholders return as lqmt becomes the “global leader in amorphous alloy production” than a cheap buyout now by Apple.
Sources claims Apple intends to use an "improved" version of the stainless steel currently used to produce Apple Watch products. Whether the metal will be polished like the wearable or treated produce a matte finish is unclear.
I hope for both our sake that the price stays low for a while or even goes down a little, i'm still trying to fill my bag every month. I'll be buying all the way up too $1, then hold long term. Thats the plan.
I hear where your coming from, but the past is the past.
Things are as different now with lqmt as they where when Jobs came back to aapl.
Thats just my point of view after getting burnt selling aapl, i should have never listened to my broker or ms fanbois. My mistake.
I think we see contracts from medical (CoNextions), automotive (Tesla), and CE (Apple) all before end of 2017 as only the beginning of the bolstering of our revenues and share price.
We are in for an amazing ride the 2nd half of this year. The last couple trading days are childs play compared to what is coming.
Take it from me, learn to take your profits when you can.
It's not the traders manipulating the stock price
Short term gain will pale in significance to long term gains, many Longs here already have a paper profit but wont cash it in. The more shares you have the bigger the final payout.
Not unless you can buy back in at a lower level, so thats the gamble with trading.
Me i'm not smart enough to be a trader.
Yep Li wont cut his shares in half or more. He will get lqmt listed without any manipulation.
As easily as lqmt can get to 50 cents or $1 it can also get to $3-5.
Once institution come in there will be no need to fake an increase in Share price.
I have heard/read somewhere in the past that Chinese investors are Long term holders when they buy into a stock. Hope its true, we need investors holding long so we can stop the traders manipulating this stock.
Can't wait for institutional investors to start coming on board.
What will you do with those profits? Buy fewer shares of lqmt?
Prof. Li has 405 million reasons to make it happen.
Good time ahead, What say you WW, been awfully quiet lately
Thanks for the Update on CoNextions, no doubt once they are using LiquidMetal other Medical companies will take notice, it can only get bigger.
Nice close and consolidation above the 25 cent wall.
It looks like most of the large selling came in early before lunch time and then it settled.
Lots of smaller trades kept the price stable and recovered some ground.
Hopefully the large sellers are done with their quick profit taking and can now leave this stock alone.
Onwards and Upwards, one step at a time.
Agree 100%. No matter how the stock plays next week it will be nothing compared to the year ahead, and beyond.
Any info on who makes that Continuous Glucose Monitoring sensor and for whom ?
Interesting that the sensors are housed in a circular device.
Speculation time....

Heyyyy, whoa! Slow down!!! That "irrational exuberance" means you're out of control. Much better to think you're holding a stock that's not going anywhere.
If those extolling "irrational exuberance" being an issue had the semblance of a clue about business, they'd understand what an incredible business mind Lugee has,
We live in an era where the pace of change is accelerating.
Eco FM always strives to play a leading role in the realization of a new paradigm and the practice of innovation at the center of the change.
We will do our best to grow as a global leader in the field of materials through the development of amorphous metal and brazing filler metal, development of new high-tech materials and environment-friendly technology based on our excellent metal sheet manufacturing technology.
Thank you.
I don't think you can compare the past 6 years with what is finally happening right now.
Sure we had allot of hope, potential and partners in the past, but now we have prof. Li.
He has the money, experience, resources and customers to get lqmt into mass production.
So lqmt will be entitled to the Magnesium customers of Eon that are in lqmt’s territory as per cross-license agreement?
If so makes even more sense why Prof. Li is adding different metal manufacturing methods at Lake Forest.
Wow, lqmt manufacturing Magnesium parts as well as Amorphous. This is going to be huge.
Spot on, Li did not pay cash for a huge facility just for 2 machines, big things coming.
Until we have news of contracts we can expect some swing in the share price.
Already following you Tlsmd from your technicals predictions.
They haven't announced the open house date yet, Go toga
I've been cash rich in the past then invested it all in property, shares and an ex-wife.
While money never changed me it does change those around you.
Have a close read of the full article.
Hidden Gem LQMT: New Apple Patent Fuels “Jackpot” Speculation
April 9, 2017 at 5:38 pm
Good evening,
My large stake of 400,000 shares of LQMT at $.21 is inspired by footprints made by this company and to where these footprints are likely to lead. Hint: Liquidmetal new chairman and CEO, Professor Lugee Li (56), has embarked on a new venture and market that’s much bigger and profitable than the present commercial materials market his $661 million company, Dongguan Eontec now services.
The key to understanding the truly massive potential of LQMT must be gleaned by way of following the the company’s footprints. The driving force behind Liquidmetal Technologies is Professor Lugee Li. Essentially, Professor Li is the company, so allow me to tell you what I know about Li.
First, Professor Li spent his college years studying materials engineering, and achieved a Masters degree in the field. He, then, began teaching at colleges and universities throughout China, more than seven, in all.
At the young age of 33-years old, Li founded Dongguan Eontec an advanced materials company listed on the Hong Kong stock market as a $661 million enterprise. Since the founding of Dongguan Eontec in 1993, Li has sat on at least six boards of directors of companies involved in advanced materials for various commercial markets, primarily the medical devices industry.
Below, is a chart of the performance comparison between Dongguan Eontec and the S&P 500. The orange line is the stock performance of Dongguan Eontec, and the blue line is the performance of the S&P 500.
?
From the stock performance of Dongguan Eontec, I surmise that Professor Li is not only an expert on advanced materials, he’s a good businessman, as well, the latter of which is of the most importance to investors of LQMT, of course. At last look, Dongguan Eontec is expect to earn a triple-digit increase in profits this year.
In December of last year, Li gained control of Liquidmetal with a majority stake that cost him approximately $41 million. He raised that cash from liquidating nearly 5% of his holdings of Dongguan Eontec in July 2016. So, it appears that the modus operandi of Professor Li is to take complete control of each of his companies within his budding empire and grow them rapidly.
The major players in the new field of ‘liquid metal’ alloys number only three:
1) Eontech (Liquidmetal): Liquidmetal is a spin-off in 2003 from California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and holder of numerous patents in the field of liquid metal. Essentially, Liquidmetal holds much of the legal power of this technology.
Since the company’s inception in the 1990s, Liquidmetal has sought to commercialize these leading-edge metal alloys, but has been unsuccessful in the past for the principal reason of the high entry price for entering the market. Liquidmetal needed big capital, and Li has now provided it and taken control of the company as part of his Dongguan Eontech business in China.
2) ENGEL, a privately-held Austrian company, founded in 1945, makes specialized manufacturing equipment for the production of advanced materials. At $1.6 billion of annual revenue, this company is the premier maker of industrial machines in the global advanced materials market. But ENGEL is not a direct competitor of Li’s.
3) Materion (MTRN), a publicly-traded company base in Ohio, is in the business of producing specialized materials, a US competitor of Li’s. At a market cap of $702 million, Materion is approximately the same size as Dongguan Eontech, and is a Certified Partner of Liquidmetal’.
Since Professor Li took control of Liquidmetal in December, he hasn’t wasted time positioning the company to service awaiting makers of consumer products and medical equipment. By March 2017, Li bought a manufacturing facility and machinery to begin production of liquid metal components. But the mystery is: who is/will be his customers?
I’ll first begin with the possibility that Li is angling to service the medical device industry, either initially and/or as a longer-term strategy. The number of applications in the medical devices industry for liquid metal is too numerous to address in this small space. And needles to say, the market size is billions of dollars per year of revenue. But I’m not convinced that Li’s fast-moving steps of taking control of Liquidmetal, buying a manufacturing facility and ushering in production machinery within a span of only three months points to a ready customer in the slow-moving medical devices industry.
Which leads me to a much more likely customer: Apple Computer (AAPL). There’s been a lot of speculation as to Liquidmetal’ connection with Apple Computer, and for good reason. Apple is famous for bringing leading-edge consumer products to market first, including products known for their ease of function and beautiful design.
For a good synopsis of the facts that suggest Apple is primed to incorporate liquid metal technologies into its iPhone series, read this well-written and informative article of March 31 on PatentlyApple.com, entitled, Apple Patent Describes using Liquid Metal (Metallic Glass) for the Backside of an iPhone, wherein the author restates the ‘smoking gun’ section of Apple’s application at the US Patent & Trademark Office to register a new patented design of its iPhone, which includes liquid metal as the material of the backside of the device.
The relevant text contained within Apple’s application is as follows:
In some embodiments, the metal substrate may be a metallic glass substrate. In some embodiments, a metallic glass coating is deposited on a metallic glass substrate to form a coated metallic glass. Pulsed radiation is applied to the coated metallic glass to form a metallic glass with altered chemical composition.
Liquid metal has always been filed in mysterious patent filings with only vague references to devices that might use the material but never a direct link to a specific product UNTIL NOW. In fact, in one very specific patent point reveals that the backside of an iPhone may be made of a metallic glass substrate with an added metallic glass coating for extra strength. Could this be what Apple will use for the iPhone 8 in order to make the glass crack proof?
Okay, Apple’s iPhone 8 (iPhone X) is anticipated by many analysts to be released no earlier than September of this year. It’s been suggested that the iPhone 8 will feature wireless charging, have no physical buttons, and sport an all-new design. For now, these suggestion are mere speculation, of course. But consider the effectiveness of wireless charging technology is greatly enhanced by removing interference caused by the material used in the device being charged, the urgency to incorporate liquid metal into the iPhone becomes crystal clear to me.
After the information gleaned from Apple’s most recent patent application, the issue of the features slated for future models of the iPhone (after the iPhone 7) may now also include the composition of the backside of the iPhone. Will the backside material of the iPhone 8 include liquid metal? If not, the odds of the next iPhone (after the iPhone 8) featuring these new composite materials for the sake of being able to remotely charge the device soar.
Here’s my bottom line to my thinking behind LQMT. Apple is on the cusp of incorporating liquid metal into its iPhones series. Taking a stake in LQMT now may even be a better buy for traders than waiting to buy some shares after developments surface at Apple and/or Liquidmetal at a later time.
But one thing I know, Apple and Swatch (VTX: UHR) have licensing agreements with Liquidmetal. Does the picture now become more clear? Apple has aligned its ducks with Liquidmetal before any other Apple competitor can negate any competitive advantage Apple has always enjoyed in the mobile device and other markets.
Much like a biotech stock running ahead of a scheduled FDA ruling, if traders wait too long, LQMT may become merely a good play (or bad play), not a potential ‘jackpot’ play. I’m holding now for the distinct possibility of a jackpot play on my investment heading into the iPhone X release date, not just hoping for a base hit. Just the speculation and hype surrounding the latest revelation that Apple plans to use liquid metal, alone, is worth the price of admission.
Trade wise and green!
Jason Bond
Disclosure: I am long 400,000 LQMT at $.21 and plan to hold for a few months heading into the iPhone X release.
Real question those analyst should ask is
"Will Eon/lqmt extrude the BMG band used on the new iPhone Edition,
The band that will then be hot formed/overmolded to hold the front and back glass panels."
Professor Li did say that he will incorporate several metal manufacturing techs at Lake Forrest.
He didn’t answer the question,
The 2017 Turing Appassionato and the 2018 Turing Monolith Chaconne are both brand new projects.
So are the 2 liquidmetal mass production contracts for the Turing phones ?
or are the 2 mass production contracts for phones ?
We still don’t know. Whats worth Li keeping so secret.
The most likely interpretation of the rumoured iPhone Edition.
How hard will it be for Prof. Li to Extrude the cheaper BMG Band that holds together the front and back glass panels ?
iPhone Edition
And if its not to be then it won’t really matter now that Prof. Li has real Automotive mass manufacturing plans for LiquidMetal.
Finally we are now in a win win situation and its only going to get better.

It looks like someone offered nearly 500,000 shares 1 cents below market price just 2 minutes before the close.
Don't know if the price pop is from the Monday article about Tesla Parts
or todays PR about 2 machines
or shorts closing out.
But i'm very happy it has Nothing to do with Apple.... Yet.
Yeah i'm sure Li of lqmt and Li of Eon will come to some sort of agreement, sharing orders and compensating with royalty payments etc.
But mostly my money is on Li of lqmt working hard to boost his 405m lqmt shares as high as a medicinal card holder.
The cross licensing agreement has territorial restrictions on Eon. So Li must use lqmt for US, Euro and several other markets.
Oh wait, did i miss the sarcasm? I think i did.
...we have no revenue, no profit, no contracts, no word on what will be sold to whom and at what price.
“received two hot crucible amorphous metal molding machines”
2 machines delivered at the same time, not 1. Why order 2 machines.
It can only mean that there is already a production order waiting to be filled.
Q4 ’16 CC
Second we are about to receive our First Two hot crucible die-cast machines leveraging technology developed by EON, these systems produce high quality Liquidmetal parts using low cost alloys and the machines can make parts that are upto 3 times larger than our cold crucible systems. They’re finding immediate interest in the many new applications that are enabled by this technology and have customer prototypes in China on identical machines. Today we offer customers China based volume die-cast production and we expect to offer U.S. based production within the 3rd quarter of this year. Our injection molding and die-cast systems are complementary addressing distinct market opportunities.
Li Yangde Professor elected United States liquid metal company CEO Hou, will speed up United States liquid metal company and should be Ann technology advantage resources of integration, will should be Ann technology in liquid metal industrialization aspects by has of equipment, and process, and mold design and processing, and cost, and products complexity and big size, many of advantage with to United States liquid metal company, assist United States liquid metal company established United States local of production base; while with United States liquid metal company in international Shang of visibility and influence, promoted liquid metal in consumption electronic, and The automotive industry, medical equipment, sporting goods and other industries and areas of application and transfer orders to the domestic, accelerate the process of industrialization and internationalization of domestic enterprises in the amorphous.
