Friend i Agree, BMG will make it to space and LQMT is the #1 patent Owner AND has Engel doing the selling, Apple doing the Legal+R&D and Materion doing the Supplying+R&D.
So odds are that the BMG alloy to literally go to space will be LQMTs BMGs
Who else is even close?
Who else has Apple AND Engel AND Materion,
AND has other Billion dollar companies referring to lqmt by the name LIQUIDMETAL... which Vmatter recently lost ...... y....
So absolutely it will be the BMG alloy know as Liquidmetal that goes to the moon and beyond,
no-one else comes even close. Keep holding, adding.
Who could have predicted Facebook would build solar powered Planes staying airborne for 90 days, and with fricken lasers too !!
It relates to liquidmetal because it shows how a company can transform or adapt to different fields in order to succeed. anything is possible, who would say FB will build planes at its IPO.
Nice carbon-fibre frame, video explains a lot,

Nice to post just parts, allow me to repost the rest;
Some thoughts about the Exclusive Perpetual Rights Apple has, I've expressed them before but HIStory is tolerated here.
Apple can't get justice from Google for stealing many features of iOS because supposedly Android is free, but comes loaded with income generating Google services & apps.
Apple can't even get court ordered payments from Samsong for copying the iPhone design and UI.
So if Apple can't stop theft or ban the devices that infringe on its owna IP, then how can Apple stop Google, Samsong or Facebook from using CIP if Apple lets them buy lqmt.
How would Apple even know if they where doing R&D on bmg, Apple would have to wait until After a device was launched before uncovering bmg use, then it would take months to start the trial and years in the courts, by then the device in question would have finished its life cycle and the whole trial would be for nothing, then a different bmg device is released and Apple has to start all over again.
Whoever buys lqmt will challenge all the rights Apple awarded itself in the agreement, lqmt was near bankruptcy and struggling to recover any credibility after the Guilty verdict on previous management, to say that lqmt was desperate would be an understatement.
The vague definition of a CE, that is "(in Apple's sole discretion)" Will also be Challenged by any new owner of lqmt.
It would be soooo much simper for Apple to buy lqmt and make all of the above VOID.
Apple can and will step in only when it feels like it, when you are the biggest richest company in the world you can take your sweet time, a few extra billions for waiting too long won't hurt Apple in the slightest.
I think i can add another potential buyer for lqmt, FaceBook.

If lqmt talks about anything they are doing with Apple, they can be fined $50 million

Also some info in how Apple keeps things secrete

Libre, i give you quotes from Steipp and paragraphs from the MTA.
I am still waiting for your DD on the subject, not just your personal feelings about the topic.
Exactly, almost ANYTHING can be classed as a CE if it receives/stores/transmits 1s and 0s.
So just that point alone is one of the major reason why the agreement can be tested.
Apple exec once referred to cars as "the ultimate mobile device"
CE anybody?

EDITED TRANSCRIPT
LQMT.PK - Q4 2014 Liquidmetal Technologies Inc Earnings Call EVENT DATE/TIME: MARCH 04, 2015 / 9:30PM GMT
Mach Tech, thanks for the posts on Materion DD, greatly appreciate knowing what a Crucial partner and supplier of lqmt is doing and how it feels about lqmt, awesome seeing another billion dollar company doing research on lqmt's bmg.
And as this is my 15th post for the day,
I want to add that a CE is ANYTHING that Receives, Stores And Transmits Data.
Says who ?
Your Sneakers can be a CE, so does Nike need permission too ?
Thank You, Yeah i also couldn't find lqmt in these news releases either,
I've been listening to the conference call, it just finished, was too late to hear anything about lqmt, will wait for the replay to be available.

Yeah thank goodness we can at least depend upon Apple and Engel to get lqmt to market.
At best we can hope that the crew do nothing stupid for a few more quarters while the big players make lqmt a success.
While Hauck was not mentioned in the press release he might be available for questions,
Looks Bulbous in Shape, Thermoplastic formed no Doubt, but as always WHAT Material Apple will end up using .... How many grams in a Stylus?
Anything is possible, always nice to see where lqmt could end up.
Please where is the Link ??
A patent for An Apple Stylus, after looking at the images for some reason i was reminded of the XM25 Project.
Anything is possible right ?
NO not the Stylus used as a Guided Bullet, but both made out of lqmt ...

Understood, i'm hoping for more quarters of stagnation, terrible me yes i know.
Its only just recently That Engel Presented a BMG Molded Medical Device to 3,000 of its Customers.
A lot of Revenue will come from that FIRST presentation of a lqmt product MOLDED by ENGEL machine.
Never been done before.Never. A lot of revenue will come from that presentation, but late next year i think.
So i believe this next CC will be much of the same, more HOPE but NO Contract, so stagnation me thinks.
BUT i can be wrong, Engel showed a BMG Medical Forceps and Liquidmetal manufactures and delivers an intricate BMG Knife, All before Apple shows a BMG Device (bmg enclosure) so who knows what will pop up next, But nothing major out of the Symposium, too early i think. IMHO.
Why is Kang being forced to stop using the Liquidmetal name ?
Liquidmetal is out
You could buy about 50% more stock if you don't wait.
Myself, every extra cash i have i transfer to my US account and buy, its been terrible lately with the AUD falling against the USD. I'm losing about 30% as apposed to about <10-15%> before on the exchange rate
TVs reply is also a classic lolz.
It looks like the Bouncing Man Graph™ failed to break below 0.125, even after a huge short trade equal to 1/4 of the days volume, and just before 3pm, could not break the 0.125 barrier, whats up with that boys and girls?
Vmatter knives using the Liquidmetal name is old news, whats new is that they are removing the 'liquidmetal' logo and looking for a new name, thats exciting because what company would rename their only product after several years using that name, and having spent money promoting the 'Liquidmetal" logo on their knives and on marketing.
Very exciting news, something is happening behind the scenes.

I might be wrong, but i think there was a time period on that deal, sorry i can't remember where i filed that DD.
I'd say Engel and/or Apple Attorneys made the cease and desist demand on use of the "LiquidMetal" trade name, very very encouraging if Vmatter itself is kicked to the curb
I like that theory, makes more sense than anything else put forward here.
Very True, how can anyone here claim that they know exactly what will happen at trial, or claim certain words or terms can never be questioned, even though they themselves have often questioned the agreement calling it a fraud etc,
Anyways it ALL DEBATABLE and no doubt will stay years in the courts should it ever get to trial.
I mean after all, a competitor is only going to buy lqmt for the right to use CIP, its the only way since lqmt wont issue licences that it has already given to Apple. I for one do not believe the likes of Google or Samsong will allow Apple to keep this new wonder material (right at the Cusp of Commercialisation) without a fight.
The simplest answer i can give is that LQMT owns 100% of CIP.
CIP is crucial to Apple, LQMT is not allowed to compete in Apples' area BUT it does not stop any competitor from buying LQMT/CIP and using those patents, Apple can still use CIP patents AND so can the new owner.
Now we can ALL debate this reality endlessly and so will any buyer of LQMT, so it is sooooo much easier for Apple to just buy LQMT.
Yeah some smallish mistakes in the big scheme of things,
I keep thinking how Tim Cook and whoever runs Engel must see something in lqmt to be happy and continue its relationship, if Steipp was truly bad Apple and Engel would have easily removed a Penniless Penny stock CEO, thats how i see it, if Steipp is good enough for Apple, Engel, Materion, then who am i to second guess or complain, but thats just my Opinion, i hope we all find out soon !
Just Steipp out, who else should leave?
Who do you think should be CEO of LQMT ?
So you want Steipp Out or In?
Maybe he was trying to manipulate the stock so when he gets his million dollars bonus he can buy cheap lqmt stocks ?
Ok thats a crazy theory, but who knows.
Some lqmt chart reading, take a look at the last 4 weeks, lqmt has been bouncing on 0.125.
I call this the Bouncing Man Graph.
Good points, lqmt can't handle hundreds of Requests only Engel can handle that volume.
No surprise if most of the Request come from pre-existing Engel clients, especially after the Euro Symposium.
The Engel Symposium was Just last month, it is Just recently that BMG can be molded as Anax described. Before that there was ?
How many RFQs is Engel getting after the Symposium, was the Euro RFP a result of the Symposium, I wonder what time frame for production Engel is telling clients.
I know for sure that the time frame from Engel, a multi billion dollar company with a world class reputation, will be much better than Penniless Liquidmetal Tech.
