$LWLG Originally we thought that we’d get bought out as just a material company but had to rely on universities for testing. Joe Miller (credited with saving Corning) that at sits on the board wanted the company to become a Device Company. To that end they created a Materials/Device lab to provide their own “feedback Loop”. Well during the delay the polymer material had become so fast that testing equipment was not available. The testing equipment is now available in the lab and they have been testing on that equipment for a while (I think less than a year?) I saw that device serial number 2 last May, serial 3 was on the way). They said they had to submit a few “Device Patents” looks like 3 more were just awarded. The way they are written (R33, Temp S22, voltage etc.) it appears to me to lock down all “Polymers” that fit them. I’m pretty sure that Lightwaves polymer recipe is held a trade secret, but the patent cover the device no matter what Polymer is inserted. Fred is the grandfather of today’s devices why is he spending time here???? and Lebby is obviously a master at the Patent process and sits on just about every Road Map planning meeting out there.
IMO a large company like Amazon (Hard to believe that AWS makes more money from their Data Center/Services that in selling product) or Intel/how about IBM would love to lock down this IP.
What if Lightwave enters into an agreement to provide Transcievers to Company A and company B buys them?
This is not just a Transciever play there are literally Hundreds of uses/devices that ultimately will move to Light and remember that Lightwave polymer is compatible with today’s InP Silicon etc.
Study the science and the players and if anyone can not reach a conclusion that there is GREAT promise here for goodness sakes sell and move on, Life is too short. (been here 16, 17 or 18 years, who knows)
