Hey Razor - we are privy to so little here it is hard to say. If the tech is owned by the University and we licensed it, they could, theoretically license it to someone else (Ionic) unless we had some kind of exclusivity provision in the license that prevented them from doing so-

Much depends on who owns the IP (AMNL or the University) and what is being used - also, it is possible Ionic is using some other method it claims is independent of the AMNL licensed process - we just don't know.

It would be helpful for the company to comment - maybe they will.

I cannot agree enough - I am not scared at all if Mr. Z is our competition. Mr. "We are at least three years away" in 2018, along with downplaying the battery tech initially, are big reasons Applied has been hit so hard these past several years.

Ionic's PRs read a lot like the 2017 Applied PR that Mr. Z was never able to cash-in on...However, that said, if he is stealing the tech or anything isn't fully on the up-and-up, I hope AMNL steps in and protects its/our interest here.
