I do concede that the LM106 formula, in itself, does open some doors for CE that will be very beneficial to Eontec, itself.

I am not, however, convinced that the Eontec machines themselves or the processes inherent, escape the purview of all of the CIP patents and inherent linkages to newer technologies of manufacture such as Eontec's machines.

In other words, I am not certain that all CIP patents, particularly those co-developed with Apple will bare the scrutiny of analysis of Eontecs design and process technology against them.

I suppose it will take litigation to prove Eontecs immunity from infringement or untouchability from Apple.

I would love to be wrong. But if I were wrong, I do not believe that Lugee would have made all of those trips to Apple to discuss the conflicts of the MTA agreement, (not the TTA) which is PERPETUAL.

So, unless both the formula and the process technology are totally exclusive and unique of any previous CIP, I believe all of us need to receive a legal joint declaration from Apple that Eontec and LQMT utilizing Eontec technology are completely immune from litigation with Apple.

It will be very difficult for anything short of this legal ruling for me and most on this board to be persuaded that Lugee can freely operate within the CE realm.

Particularly with the new press against IP theft and IP utilization violations by Europe and the US and Canada, I just am not willing to buy into the "no holds barred" concept recently promulgated here.

This is my extremely humble opinion and based upon real life first hand experience with reverse engineering and patent infringement lawsuits in the millions of dollars.
