Patent Alliance
Google Inc. and Apple (AAPL) Inc., two of the most-sued companies, have been pushing Congress and the courts to curb the practices of some licensing firms. Google yesterday said it created a program with Canon Inc. that could curb some future infringement claims.
Participating companies pledge that if they sell some of their patents, all members of the group automatically get a royalty-free license to them. The goal of the alliance, known as the License on Transfer Network, is to limit sales by large technology companies to licensing firms.
For companies like Nokia and Huawei, it’s a matter of getting some compensation for the billions of dollars spent on research, while not having to deal with the costs of litigation or the fees needed to keep a patent in force.

WWDC: So, how is Apple's Liquidmetal thing shaping up?
Apple seems set to thrill and possibly delight us at WWDC next week -- but there are hints it is closer to discussing Liquidmetal, a technology it holds exclusive license too.
Perpetual exclusivity
Apple took a "perpetual, exclusive license" to use Liquidmetal in consumer electronic products in 2010. It's a non-crystalline material that's 1.5 times harder than stainless steel and 2.5 times stronger than titanium alloy but can be cast like glass or plastic.
This means you can make whatever shape you want to make, and news Apple has patented a way to make things using both Liquidmetal and Sapphire-augmented glass displays hints at something -- imagine an iWatch or iPhone made this way….
I'm not saying Apple will say anything on this at WWDC, but earlier news Apple has extended its exclusive use deal through to 2015 is notable, if only because the only Liquidmetal thing Apple's shipped is the SIM card ejector tool, apparently.
Under the deal, Apple shares intellectual property with Crucible Intellectual Property, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquidmetal Technologies. Importantly, Apple can annually renew its exclusive rights for the rest of time if it wants, the agreement suggests.
What's the objects?
There was talk Apple may make Liquidmetal MacBooks, but the expense of the substance may have prevented that. But that cost is about to fall.
You see, while many noticed Apple had reached a new deal with Crucible, they didn't notice Liquidmetal had managed to reach a better deal with Visser Precision Cast (VPS). VPS was previously the exclusive manufacturer of the substance, but Liquidmetal had complained it charged too much for making it.
Liquidmetal now has the rights to: "…contract with manufacturers of its choosing, and it will retain exclusive rights to any technology that Liquidmetal develops after the date of the agreement."
That's interesting because since that deal was reached, the USPTO has published its patent filing. The Apple patent was originally filed six years ago.
As it stands, Apple has the exclusive right to use a substance no one else can use in a consumer electronics product and its partner (Liquidmetal) can have that substance made wherever it likes.
Despite the inevitable fall in production costs, it's way too early to call. Not only have there been no whispers from anyone in the supply chain who may be creating the material, but in 2012 Liquidmetal inventor, Atakan Peker said:
"Apple was still likely 3-5 years away from using his invention in devices on a large scale."
At that time there was no "suitable manufacturing infrastructure yet to take full advantage of this alloy technology," Peker said, warning it would cost Apple up to $500m to make Liquidmetal products.
Imitation impossible
However, Apple's R&D spending is at its highest yet, it has the sapphire/Liquidmetal patent, and has been developing the technology since 2010. Perhaps we would have heard more chatter about this, but this stuff is incredibly proprietary, so potential manufacturers could be keeping a lid on things. Particularly given Apple's track record for leaks regarding important product releases.
We know Apple CEO Tim Cook is unwilling to let Apple be the ideas workshop of the world, and a move to use materials no one else can use would make its solutions hard to emulate. After all, how do you imitate products when you can't get the parts?
I've a feeling we may learn more soon. Will it be at WWDC? Perhaps not, but it's certainly a story that may benefit from joining the dots…
Google+? If you use social media and happen to be a Google+ user, why not join AppleHolic's Kool Aid Corner community and join the conversation as we pursue the spirit of the New Model Apple?

A deal that gave Apple an exclusive license for consumer electronics products to any IP acquired or developed by Liquidmetal (LQMT) from Aug. 5, 2010 to Feb. 5, 2014 has been amended to extend its coverage date to Feb. 5, 2015. (8-K)Financial terms aren't disclosed. The full text of the agreement will be filed with Liquidmetal's next 10-Q.Apple has filed plenty of patent applications over the years related to Liquidmetal. That, in turn, has fueled much speculation about which current and future products use the technology.Yesterday: Liquidmetal amends sub-license deal with Visser Precision

OMEGA – SEAMASTER 300
Omega has really pushed the boat out with the new Seamaster 300: this piece features all the latest technological developments! In terms of design, the steel version has a polished black ceramic bezel and a Liquidmetal® diving scale whilst the luxury versions feature Sedna™ gold, a patented gold, copper and palladium alloy designed to guarantee the rose gold’s long-term endurance. The latter has indicators on the bezel made using revolutionary Ceragold™ technology, the first ever to enable the bonding of gold to ceramic. The same goes for the mechanics: the watch is fitted with a non-magnetic Master Co-Axial 8400/8401 calibre. Made using non-magnetic materials – silicon for the spiral, Nivagauss™ on the rods and pivots plus amorphous metals for the bridges and springs – the movement is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. Last but not least, the rack-and-pusher clasp allows the wearer to extend the strap by 9.6mm so it can easily fit over a diving suit. A fabulous reincarnation of the Seamaster 300 first released in 1957. Price: between 5,950 for the steel version and 59,400 for the platinum version (limited edition – 357 models).

The amount of shares were very small compared to the amount they own so I'm not worried. Especially since the sales are being done just before taxes are due. The CFO sold shares but executed his options at $.08 so he actually was net positive on his shares. If they were unloading shares in a big way then it would be cause for concern.
Look at yesterday's filings and you will see that the same people making the small sales are also being awarded millions of options with a strike price of $.29 vs. the $.08 in the past as part of their compensation package. I feel that's a positive indicator of good things are around the corner:
Yes Apple and 3D Liquidmetal printer ...
NEW :
Several other patents uncovered by 3ders last year described methods for3-D printing of objects using Liquidmetal — a strong alloy that Apple acquired the rights to manufacture. However, it should be noted that these patents appear to be intended for internal Apple manufacturing processes, rather than consumer products.

6 new Apple/Liquidmetal Patents published
http://www.techinsighter.com/blog/2014/3/27/6-new-appleliquidmetal-patents-published
Today the USPTO published 6 new patent applications about advanced, condition-controlling Liquidmetal manufacturing processes. These patents are assigned to Apple and Crucible Intellectual Property and were filed in September 2012 by an Engineering Design Team consisting out of Apple and Liquidmetal researchers:
Waniuk, Theodore A. (Lake Forest, CA, US)
Stevick, Joseph (Glendora, CA, US)
O'keeffe, Sean (San Francisco, CA, US)
Stratton, Dermot J. (San Francisco, CA, US)
Poole, Joseph C. (San Francisco, CA, US)
Scott, Matthew S. (Campbell, CA, US)
Prest, Christopher D. (San Francisco, CA, US)
These patents perfectly continue a series of recent publications and announcements about what may be the most important breakthrough in die casting and injection molding technology: A fully-automated process for massive cost-effective production of net-shape Liquidmetal parts.
Below one can get a short impression of the various applications, comprising: regulation of cooling and heating temperature of melt crucible; condition-monitoring and process-automation; movable mold, pressure and added features in the BMG-articles; integration of melt crucible into casting process and further die casting processes.

"The electromagnetic field generated by the induction coils 114 may cause the metal charge(s) to heat itself internally due to resistance heating caused by current flow within the metal charge(s). Power levels and frequencies applied to the coil may be selected as desired [...] By controlling the cooling conditions of the temperature regulating channels and the heating process of the meltable material in the vessel, the temperature at the interface between the meltable material and the vessel surface may be controlled [...] temperature may be regulated consistently and continuously. The regulated temperature at the interface may provide substantially non-wetting interface between the molten material and the vessel surface."
