Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[The Paraclete]

You make it sound so easy to “reverse engineer.” If it were that easy, no corporation or business entity would employ trade secrets. And yet many do.

This discussion began with your assertion that LQMT received next to nothing from Eontec in exchange for Eontec’s acquisition of rights to LQMT’s IP. Yet when confronted with evidence to the contrary (e.g., LQMT’s acquisition of rights to Eontec’s trade secrets, and LQMT’s rights to a trove of Eontec patents that you underestimated because you searched only one of many patent offices), you ignore the facts and go to great lengths to defend what you said, instead of just admitting you were wrong.

A more cogent approach would have been to assert that the mere entitlement to patent rights and trade secrets is no guarantee that LQMT will be able to turn said acquisition into revenues for itself. Had that been your assertion, I would have had no argument with it.
