Quantum Materials Corp. (fka QTMM)

[DDhawk]

All true Bill but....

I would caution against thinking the TQD patent is an 'absolute' make-or-break for QTMM....the TQD issue has been their primary focal point however, they have other things cooking in their kitchen as well or (not that I need remind you) , in the words of Dr.Bob & Steve Squires (from post# 5010):
*caveat...I feel like I'm preaching to the preacher here...pretty nervy huh...credit where credit is due; ih8aloss , more than 'anyone' else here, understands this company in minute detail & has been QTMM's own Paul Revere for years now.

I don't know about the other patent...it's up to Rice and Dr. Wong to work with the patent office-- that often happens

Here is our exclusive roll to roll patent, which allows us to use any type of quantum dot.

Sorry I have to run. I'll be around Thursday.

*Note; In looking closely at the wording & quotation marks in Dr.Bob's 2nd reply (below), I'm pretty sure he has consulted with Steve about this, since Bob's 1st reply, earlier today. He is quoting Steve in much of this response.

David-
Additionally we have a number of "trade secrets" which you don't patent. Very common in this business.

The rejection and working with the patent office is very common, especially when we have 31 claims. I personally have more than a dozen and had to go through this process every time.

Also because we are going into mass production, Steve reminds us that (quote) "we are developing the process for mass production, a qdot solar cell technology and are making many other discoveries that will undoubtedly result in a myriad of additional I.P. This is in addition of course to the license we have for the U of A patent that will likely preclude any other quantum dot technologies from using printing as their production process which is a severly limiting factor. How do they think LG is planning to manufacture qdot displays? "

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The UofA patent that is a result of Dr.J's research in printing tech is potentially highly valuable piece of property in-&-of itself and could [presumably] work with any number of QDots (regardless of maker or type) & might[?] even be able to be used with NP products 'other' than QD's. I've used a more than usual amount of conjecture in making this statement but I know that its not just the TQD's that make this whole concept of value. It's the combination of 3 techs...TQD's / the Access2Flow reactor & Dr.J's printing tech that , are also of independent value in their own right.

Just sayin'
