Patent lifetime17 May 2022 19:21
It is important to consider that the five 'core' patents under consideration here are not the only ones that will be relevant to Samsung and/or others. Nanoco also possess patents with a much longer maturity, pertaining to QD composition, ligands etc for use in colour conversion (QD-OLED, Micro-LED), electroluminescence etc. They also have patents with longer maturity relating to a more refined molecular seeding process which enables the mass production of much better quality dots.
Add to the above patents in respect of 2D QDs and other related materials with near 20 yrs of lifetime remaining.
This is just the beginning. The future is very bright.
