Ann: President Obama announces innovation in fibers and textiles, page-48

I think its a positive for AJX but at the same time we need to accept that there will be competition. it's not realistic to think that other companies won't R&D their own eco-friendly methods of fire retardation just because AJX have patented their own methods. In fact there were some uni students who also came up with new FR tech (I'll look for the link) and I would imagine there could be half a dozen companies at least currently working to the same end.
The defense force can contract more than one supplier without it having a negative effect on AJX. AJX don't need a monopoly in any of the industries. They just need a methodical thorough approach, a plan and a commitment to excellence and they seem to have those. Stop freaking out everyone. We love it, but it's just a stock, not a super-hero.
