Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

I’m reluctant to jump into this dogfight but here goes….there seems to be some confusion about Apple/CIP . They are not the same entity. CIP is a joint convenience between Apple and LiquidMetal to manage the BMG intellectual property existing prior to 2016. Apple has exclusive use in consumer electronics and LiquidMetal has the rights to everything else.

Any technical developments since 2016 belong to either Apple or LiquidMetal (the developer) and are not available to the other party.

LiquidMetal has a cross licensing agreement with Eontec for technology sharing on IP from before 2016 and after the 2016 date subject to the “carve out” for consumer electronics granted to Apple.t

Remember that most of the technology developed since 2016 is process related and not patented but held as trade secrets. Trade secrets are actually more secure and eliminate the necessity of teaching your competitors your science.

That’s as simple as I can make it…
