No doubt Apple would have first investigated Eontec IP, Patents and claims before allowing Eontec use of certain CIP patents.
If there where infringements you can be certain Apple would not have Signed-off on the Eontec/LQMT Cross License deal.

Liquidmetal Technologies established a cross-license agreement with Asia- based EONTEC, which has developed a hot-crucible amorphous molding system. By the machine’s nature of hot-crucible design, the injection unit is very different than that of the injection molding machine developed with ENGEL.
