For the endless play on "show me the reactor patents "these should help them with their due diligence which has been claimed to be impeccable.
The Bayer patents outline the process quite clearly.
The patents acquired provide broad intellectual property protection for advances Quantum Materials has achieved in economical high-volume quantum dot (QD) manufacturing. In addition, the Bayer patents cover volume production technology for heavy metal-free (HMF) quantum dots and nano-particles; increasing quantum yields for HMF quantum dots ; and hybrid organic quantum dot solar cell (QDSC) production as well as a surface modification process for increased efficiency of high performance solar cells and printed electronics . The patent families were acquired through a cash purchase agreement and financial details will remain private.
“We acquired these patents to not only expand our technology portfolio in heavy metal-free and QDSC production , but also to protect the advances we have made to date in the volume manufacturing of nanoparticles, including quantum dots, ” said Stephen Squires, Quantum Materials CEO and president. “Bayer is a research pioneer in the nanotech and QD fields and these early filings were awarded with broad claims . It will be very difficult for competitors to produce materials in volume similar to ours without breaching our patents. ”

To add ..the following is an important factor as well
'Trade secrets are thought to be the real workhorse of the knowledge economy, because of their pervasive importance. At the same time, trade secrets are viewed as the stepchild of intellectual property because they operate, by definition, in secrecy, and we know much less about their role in market competition than we know about patents, copyrights, and trademarks ."
