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?

How can Li "let other makers use the name Liquidmetal" in the field of consumer electronics? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but (IMHO) the mark "LIQUIDMETAL" is perpetually licensed to Apple in the field of CE.

The trademark "LIQUIDMETAL" is part of LMT technology as defined in the Apple-LQMT MTA. (See, MTA, Section 1(i) and 1(iii), http://contracts.onecle.com/liquidmetal/apple-transaction-2010-08-05.shtml.) Consequently, the trademark was perpetually granted to Apple in the field of use of consumer electronics. (See, MTA, Annex 6.) The expiration of Apple's ROFR does not alter the licenses granted to Apple. (See, MTA Amendment 1, section 9A for the ROFR, https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1141240/000114036112034926/ex10_41.htm.)

If Li licenses "Liquidmetal" outside of CE, how does that put pressure on Apple?
