if the 106 formulation was not dependent on 105, he didn’t need LQMT IP.

That's not correct. The formula for LM105 is covered by how many patents... one, two... a few? I'm not certain. Whereas most of the patents are about specific uses for the alloys and specific manufacturing techniques, with no reference to a specific amorphous alloy.

E.g., from one of the more recent patents posted by Gamesc: the patent reads, "A method of forming a heat sink, comprising: heating at least a first portion of a bulk solidifying amorphous alloy component comprising an amorphous phase of a bulk solidifying amorphous alloy to a first temperature greater than a glass transition temperature (Tg)...."

Note: no specific alloy is mentioned. The patent covers all amorphous alloys that might be used to make the heat sinks in the manner described.

Another example is patent about the add-on component used in the Engel machine to make the injection amorphous alloy into the molds much more efficient. (That was the work of Glenton Jelbert, a former lead scientist at LQMT, and is assigned to CIP.) Bottom line: there are over 100 patents. the vast majority say nothing about LM105.
