Q: Nexoptic received Notice of Allowance from the USPTO around June 29. As I understand, this means the USPTO intends to issue patent within 3 months (by Sept 30), subject to the filing fee and any blueprints necessary. Nexoptic's press release advise they expect to receive the patent in 4-8 weeks (meaning by August 31). This should quell questions "as to the robustness of its technology".
Other than your valid point of no sales at this point, is there a reason you can see that this significant event has not sparked greater interest by moving the share price and volume upwards?

Q: I've been interested in NXO lately due to the market activity so I did a bit of research on the technology itself. The theory of flat lenses and the proof of concept that it works was discovered by Federico Capasso and his team at Harvard University. When their research paper was first published, Federico Capasso was contacted by one of the world's largest smartphone manufactures (which means they are now working on it). Since then many of the research team members have been picked off by various universities and companies world wide to develop it's potential further.
The point is (NXO) Nexoptic did not invent the technology of their prototype lens system.
So investors beware that NXO really has nothing proprietary, nor do they have the size and scale of potential competitors. The idea that an iPhone will someday have Nexoptic lenses is probably a bit of a stretch. The best outcome I see is that their telescope patent (if approved) is sold to a larger manufacturer, which is not going to make the average investor any money over the next 5 years.
I hope I'm wrong and wish them luck!

Q: Comment Re: Dennis' recent question. I checked the US Patent and Trademark Office and the company appears to have only one published pending patent application (US2017/0038571 - published last month). Note that there is no guarantee that the claims of the application will be granted following USPTO examination, nor that, if the patent is finally granted, the scope of the claims will not be significantly reduced.
This, combined with the fact that they don't yet have a working demonstrator, makes me very wary of this company. Virtually all of their market value is predicated on them owning strong IP that can be readily "reduced to practice".
