Basically If Apple can produce a mass commercial product with LQMT, so can LQMT , as they both have the same patent rights. This would turn the viability of using Liquid Metal from prototyping a product to mass producing one. Many eyes would be more intent on LQMT as the next big thing in metal alloys on a consumer basis.
So Apple's use of the alloy would make LQMT shoot through the roof. IMO only of course.
