I on the other hand think LiquidMetal will be an enormous draw to the consumer. Its "romantic",
Its "geeky", its Star Wars, Star Trek, and Terminator, combined. Along with its properties. Its a futuristic name. Imagine the commercials. Remember those commercials a few years ago, where it showed
metal flowing like water, or mercury. Exciting. Its why I bought the knife. I wanted something made
from LiquidMetal. I'd love a medallion of LiquidMetal, all shiny and intricate.

Excellent point.

Me thinks all this hifalutin' prattle over the last few days is to try and get the PPS up…..or sustain it where it is.

I think he would license DC105 to everyone. I also agree that Liquidmetal as a name today isn't worth much. That scenario doesn't help LQMT much either. In this scenario, Eontec is just another BMG manufacturer, and DC105 is just another formulation.

Look at it from Apple's perspective. Years contributing to CIP, and all of your competitors beat you to the punch by using Li's formulation.

If you were Li, and you wanted to really put the pressure on Apple, wouldn't you also try to find a way to let the other makers use the name Liquidmetal?

I'm not proposing that LQMT license DC105 to Samsung. I am saying that we allow naming rights to Eontec for a royalty. For example, Samsung makes OLED screens for Apple. OLED makes a nice royalty on every iPhone, presumably paid to them by Samsung.

All conjecture. I find it more productive than worrying about the daily ups and downs of a penny or two.
