QS Energy Inc (QSEP)

[Shrimclim]

One caveat to your implied investment timeline...

Alkaline, I offer the following googled information:

"In the United States, for utility patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the term of the patent is 20 years from the earliest filing date of the application on which the patent was granted and any prior U.S. or Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications from which the patent claims priority."


If this is correct, QSEP has until the early or mid-2020s to make hay with its AOT selling. After that, it's an AOT replication free for all as the patents will have expired on their proprietary technology.

If you and others intend to stick around for the dividends, you had better hope that by 2023 or so QSEP has garnered +90% market share and has built an unassailable brand as they will no longer be the only player in the AOT market.

If not, those anticipated dividends will be in question or at best short-lived.

Just a thought.
