Who the F said they were "accepted by the industry"? Besides Lightwave itself? Ya know what says acceptance? Commercial deals and a large company paying a royalty for your tech! Otherwise you should assume every big company is trying their best to come up with their own tech, delay lwlg's tech, and not pay a percentage to lwlg!
Getting to NASDAQ and getting accepted by the industry are huge accomplishments
I am sorry* having a deal with a very small company isnt remotely industry accepted. Lets be honest about that. Industry acceptance is accomplished by deals with much larger party/ies.
We can say that lwlg just stepped through the door and over the treshold in the industry*
