Hi, Dan. For clarity, it seems that DCH's Robust Hydrogen Sensor patent that you referred to is non-exclusive after April 2001. The license is from Sandia.

From the SEC filing:
------
The Sandia license agreement defines two fields of use for the licensed
technology. The first field of use, covering the petrochemical, energy, waste
management, environmental and manufacturing industries, is exclusive to DCH
through April 24, 2001. After that date, the license in this field becomes non-exclusive
for the remaining term of the license agreement. The second field of use covers
all other commercial applications and is non-exclusive.
------(endquote)

My interpretation is that while the technology might be disruptive, it is not proprietary to DCH, since anyone else will shortly be able to make the same contract with Sandia.

Best,
JS
