Nice catch. I used to check USPTO a couple of times a month for new patents and applications. Now I need to check almost daily to keep up.

All of the recent applications include a version of this statement: "NLO chromophores disclosed herein not only have large EO effect, but also have fast modulation speed. In addition, NLO chromophores disclosed herein have superior photostability and thermal stability compared to other EO Materials. As a consequence, NLO chromophores herein are particularly suited for use as EO materials in connection with low power and small footprint devices...".

This is what they mean by EO materials: "EO materials generally fall into three categories: (1) liquid crystals, including ferroelectric liquid crystals, and/or organic liquid crystals having a linear structure with a central core that contains several collinear rings, a linear unsaturated linkage and two terminal chains, and the like: (2) inorganic crystals characterized by a lack of inversion symmetry, such as KH PO (KDP), KD PO, (KD*P or DKDP), lithium niobate (LiNbO3), beta-barium borate (BBO), barium titanate (BTO), and (3) EO polymers, including non-linear optic (NLO) chromophore-polymer composite materials"

They are not comparing the improved properties described in these applications to earlier versions of Perkinamine, but to any EO material. That's bold.

I picked just one phrase out of one Patent application and asked AI what it meant. Here's the reply -- showing just how little chance a non-scientist has in grasping the high level organic chemistry that LWLG engineers and chemists are working with.

"Donors with substituents giving high steric hindrance" refers to chemical species—often Lewis bases, nucleophiles, or ligands—that possess large, bulky groups attached near their active site (the atom with a lone pair or high electron density). These bulky groups, such as tert-butyl or mesityl, physically obstruct the active site, making it difficult for the donor to approach or bind to another molecule (an electrophile or metal center)

Got that?? Digging the patent moat deeper and wider.
