Hi Hal (& QLeap)...
I recall your concerns on that & had some of the same thoughts. Considering all that's at stake & the sharp competition in this limited sector, I don't know that keeping things under wraps would protect against the (seemingly) inevitable legal contests to come, indefinitely...they're going to have to pull back the curtain sooner or later anyway. But, like all other hi-tech companies, stealth does help to keep the dogs off while under development & trade secrets may extend that...to one degree or another. Besides lawsuits, collaborations could conceivably be another tool to settle (fine-line) territorial disputes in the event of overlaps in IP coverage between companies. As far as QMCs' tolerance to legal intimidation is concerned, I've got a hunch they'd say 'bring-it-on'....SS took-on the most intimidating entity of them all, the IRS, and not only 'Won', but set new legal precedence regarding IRS over-reach tactics ;)
Still on the green side of the sod here...thanx for asking. Hope all is well in your world ;)
