Ann: High-Grade Antimony Recovered at 98% from U.S. E-Waste, page-99

One of the main risks to the bright future of MTM, as I see it, is the exclusivity of the FJH license and the threat of copycat or similar technologies emerging. So an alarm bell went off when I saw Universal Matter and FJH. Doesn't MTM have an exclusive license for FJH?

Universal Matter seems to be focused on graphene, so not competing in the metals space with MTM. But they talk about their "patented FJH technology" to produce graphene from "diverse carbon feedstocks". Is there a potential patent battle coming up?

A little more digging into Google Patents: there is only one patent for FJH and it's held by Prof. Tour and co at Rice University. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20210206642A1/en

Turns out Prof. Tour is a co-founder and advisor at Universal Metals. https://www.universalmatter.com/leadership/

So it appears (sigh of relief) that MTM has the license to use FJH for metal recovery and UM has the license for graphene. Does anyone have any evidence to support this?
