Would this matter if Bork never developed a military grade product and followed other interests such as HPTLs and heat sinks? For instance perhaps there are materials made in the USA and sold over seas for the intended purpose of lining door handles. What is to stop that overseas company from forming the material into an a helmet and finding it works great at stopping bullets even though this purpose was never developed, intended or forseen by the US company? Would this US company have that same stumbling blocks?
