Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[BBboy]

Why does Apple keep renewing their rights to liquidmetal? I understand they continue to share any new IP in CE developed during this period. But what's in it for Apple? Apple seem to be the one doing all the new development, not Liquidmetal.

My understanding from the MTA is that Apple's license agreement with Liquidmetal is perpetual, which would give Apple the right to develop their own IP. So why renew with Liquidmetal when Liquidmetal is doing squat, and Apple is the one cranking out all the new patents.

This tells me that there is probably more going on in this relationship between Apple-Liquidmetal than is spelled out in the MTA-TTA. This could very well be the case since the SEC would allow for this type of secrecy to protect Apple's interest.

Maybe the Liquidmetal powers that be did a better job negotiating than what is currently revealed or understood.

I welcome anyone to shed light on this issue.
