JMHO, I have no idea if LQMT would DIRECTLY benefit if Apple used it in the iPhone, but I think they would indirectly benefit, as it would substantiate the value of the material in other industries. If nothing else somebody would probably buy them out. A thought that did cross my mind, though probably not true, is that Apple bought the rights for consumer products as a defensive measure, never intending to use the material.

It also means Apple is forever free to use all the technology developed through February 2012 without additional payment. So, whether Apple uses this portfolio of technologies in 2012 or 2100, Apple doesn't have to pay another cent. -we-
