Arguably Apple would choose to push the brand to differentiate from competition. They have gotten free press for last 6 years.

If not, competition (such as Huawei) can choose to pick up the brand and establish the ME FIRST. Note "branding" is big time value in Far East market. At a minimum, brand name vendor can fend off the counterfeit.

Latest patent leak tells me Apple will continue to push the "free brand" on the bargaining table. It is chess move for Li to respond.

Everyone please note that Allied, Metglas and Hitachi are all the same company:

The metglas products are very well delineated. They have no nead of the Liquidmetal name.

Not sure how their product mix is going to fit into poster's scenario:

Once Apple does it the competition will copy, creates demand that many companies will be happy to supply.



Please explain.

Also, Metglas seems to be doing just fine in its market with a virtual monopoly.
