Interesting indeed forz..

I am intrigued as you note (*see below) lots of new patents including EO Polymer.

If I may forz..., are they device applications using a preexisting EO Polymer or are they patents for new EO Polymers?.

Do foundries create patents for their PIC Processes? Such that a preexisting EO Polymer would be part of the foundries PIC recipe and utilizing this EO Polymer by said foundry is a patentable process?

"3. OBSERVATION ONLY (perhaps my imagination?)
While surfing other Vendor's patents I noticed that the term "Electro-Optic Polymer" comes up in many other vendors' patents. Does this mean that they are all using LWLG/Perkinamine? NO/MAYBE SOME... but it does mean that the industry considers and is including electro-optic polymers as viable solutions in the field of photonics. There is certainly enough belief out there from major players to include in their patents alongside the other usual materials that have been used. So it all hinges on who has the best/lowest cost, available (producible) EO Polymer.
Also interesting to note that the applications are many, not just DCI and Telecomm as has been targeted by LWLG.
Some of these other patents are from familiar names, MACOM, Global Foundries, Fujitsu, Advanced Micro Foundries, Michigan Tech, Several from Japanese technical institutes, etc.
Maybe it means something for LWLG, or maybe not, but to me, it indicates a constant/growing acceptance of electro-optic polymers as a solution for a myriad of opportunities and patents"
