In the last year or so QMC announced Blue QD, Carb

Cadmium free I will add! 7000 ERROR FREE BURN
No less Stephen Squires knows and sees the parameters under which competitors could equally volume manufacture and produce QD......
"QMC has developed their automated quantum dot production process based on technology developed at Rice University. There are now patents pending on this process which allows creation of quantum dots with very high control of the size (the size determines the emitted color when stimulated by blue light and the full width half maximum bandwidth of the spectrum).
The patents acquired from Bayer provide broad intellectual property protection for advances QMC has achieved in economical high-volume quantum dot 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.
Stephen Squires, Quantum Materials CEO and president noted that, “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.”
He has definately done his homework!!!
