The Company has 30 patents issued and 99 patents pending for its semiconductor POET platform, which is currently being developed through ODIS. The Company has licensed the intellectual property portfolio developed by our Chief Scientist and Director, Dr. Geoff Taylor, at the University of Connecticut. We believe that our patent and trade secret protection on POET, together with ODIS’s specific design knowledge using POET elements, will provided us with a large, defensible barrier to outside competition.
