"it's a start-up's road map that's important."

So as I got up this morning, I thought (as I do every day)…..IS THIS THE DAY??
Wishful thinking once again as it seems. I do this everyday, as I'm sure all of you do as well.

I keep telling my self it's a "Disruptive Technology"…….. "Disruptive Technology" and I have to bare with it (even though it's like a kid waiting for Christmas morning……it comes as slow as a drop of cold molasses dripping from a jar on a sub freezing country morning).


So while surfing this morning I read this article:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/101584711?__source=yahoo%7Cfinance%7Crelated%7Cstory%7Cstory&par=yahoo&doc=102521238

The below excerpt gave me some pause to think:

"Patents, meanwhile, only protect physical inventions - not ideas – and can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

"It can be difficult to get a patent for something which is simply a concept, unless there's a technological application of it," Mark Owen, a partner in law firm Taylor Wessing's trademarks, copyright and media team, told CNBC.

As such, Owen urged new businesses to keep things under wraps for as long as possible. But after launch date, it becomes a lot harder.

"At that point, you need to run as fast as you can. The first-mover advantage really is true and it leads you to have a brand position that's defensible," he said.

'Can't steal your road map'

Given the high-profile attention given to Apple vs Samsung's legal battle, it is perhaps surprising that companies can't do more to protect their ideas.

But veteran investor Stavropoulos, who specializes in start-ups, was unfazed.

"If you've been around as long as I have, you see the same ideas surfacing over and over again every five years or so," he said. "If we were to reject founders coming to us with ideas we've seen before, we'd be missing huge opportunities."

Perhaps this goes some way to explaining why both Baptiste and Marsh are so confident that transparency trumps secrecy.

"They can steal your ideas but they can't steal your road map – the values and reasons behind your ideas," Baptiste insisted. "And it's a start-up's road map that's important."

After reading the article and knowing QTMM is part of a "Disruptive Technology" for sure, I see our (hopefully to be fully patented) FLOW process is actually a Disruptive Technology inside of a Disruptive Technology and the need for a solid "road map" is a key.
IE: other folks may make QD's, but they can't make them as efficiently as ours with our reactor process.

Sorry for the rambling……, but hopefully that may be the reason that we don't have any announcements of yet.
If that is indeed the reason…..then I am (a little) more patient in waiting.
But damn I loved it when christmas morning came;)


STILL Longing for the future
