Ann: Half Yearly Report and Accounts, page-6

I find it difficult to comprehend your doom-mongering. As @Whatsamadoovie mentioned, Hazer this week got its second, standard 20-year patent all but sewn up, and its acceptance is now guaranteed: “A process of controlling the morphology of graphite”.

Some useful context about the patents from @Michaeljob from May 2018:

Looking at the previous post, Hazer now has quite a lot more than $5.3 million in the bank (December 31 level), see p.15 or below. I can’t believe the company would scrape the barrel to raise capital at today’s prices. That would be a sign of madness after letting so many HZRO go.

Why not let two very solid patents unlock a door or two? It’s four weeks till the first is granted.
