Walter, "Kyosera, and others, in Japan as well as some large US firms--GE I believe is one--have superconductor programs." Other big companies as well I suspect. "AMSC has a section in it's SEC filings on competition which is worth reading." Thanks much. That was my next step in due diligence, but your mentioning has prompted me to look tonight perhaps before I place a bid. "Have you been able to do any analysis of who holds patents in this area?" Have just started doing some....the part I have to dig deeper is assessing who is in the market, who's patents are collecting dust, who is agressively asserting their patents, etc. The legal claims associated with a patent are difficult to read in a vacuum, so product information to examine would be helpful. But no reason to delve too deep at this point into a sub-sector that has yet to print money. Just one man's spin...SemiBull
