I think my eyes have been opened somewhat in the last few weeks. Key IP in the EM patents is undoubtedly EM's IP , not AP's , and was originally intended by EM for use in EM's own traditional loudspeakers, which they have also based on MEMS tech . They will undoubtedly make and market their own traditional MEMS speakers using this patented IP, and to some degree those devices will compete with AP's DSR based MEMS. EM will also undoubtedly market AP's DSR MEMS in various markets, probably China, and possibly elsewhere too. That is where the win-win comes from.AP would not have functioning DSR MEMS devices that work well enough without the MEMS IP tech developed and perfected by EM. By using their IP AP now has a product ready to take to market. Without it we would have some considerable time and expense ahead of us in independently developing the same thing outside the confines of EM's patents. AP has the DSR application IP patented, along with some of the MEMS mechanisms, but they did not translate into a functioning device that worked adequately . The difference is the MEMS construction details that only come from being a specialist MEMS fabricator, which EM as just such a fabricator, has at their disposal, and brings to the table to share with AP. We are damned lucky to have found EM, and even luckier to have an agreement with them that suits both parties well!

Here's hoping we get some good news before Christmas as I now hold the most AKP I have ever held, but nonetheless I will continue to hold and no doubt continue to buy.
