Its value proposition can be examined through the needs of organisations seeking difficult-to-replicate security, sensing or authentication capabilities, as well as through possible licensing routes for protected technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pb-lead\"\u003eThe available context describes patents, trade secrets in printing recipes and a documented freedom-to-operate assessment as important commercial considerations.
