Not there yet, but the possibility exists.  Getting out there quickly will help that goal.

"POET as a company will not go after every application and it is possible that if we get to that point of universality with our development in the next year, year and a half, then the options and opportunities to supplement revenue grows. It would be similar to what Qualcomm does. They make their own devices but they also license the IP that other people use to make devices too. So you could work on that kind of model, where we have a set of products that we build and we license the underlying IP to someone else to build other products that may or may not compete.

That typically happens when you reach a level of market penetration where you have made your solution the de facto solution everywhere. I think we are a ways from there today."
