Management Commentary
"The second quarter of 2022 was marked by further fortification
of our patent portfolio as well as our inclusion on the Russell
3000® Index, an important milestone and testament to the Company's
potential," said Dr. Michael Lebby,
Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "We believe that our
addition to this well-followed index will provide greater
visibility for Lightwave Logic within the broader investment
community and help to increase liquidity for our shareholders.
"We publicly announced three patent applications during the
quarter, two of which focus on manufacturing simplification and a
third on enhancing polymer modulator manufacturing in high-volume
foundries. These represent key aspects in achieving deep market
penetration, allowing our polymer technology platform to become the
engine for pluggable fiber optic transceivers that are being
utilized throughout internet infrastructure. The continued
fortification of our intellectual property portfolio positions us
to make polymers truly ubiquitous as we work to simplify the
production of polymer modulators for our foundry partners.
"Looking into the second half of 2022, we continue to make
significant progress to further advance our commercialization
efforts alongside our global foundry partners, while buildout out
our IP moat with each technology enhancement. Taken together, these
improvements are enabling an expedited commercialization process
through simplified manufacturing. We continue to focus on the
capital markets, attending a variety of investor conferences and
achieving inclusion on the Russell 3000® Index. I look forward to
providing further updates as we move closer to our end goal of mass
market commercialization," concluded Dr. Lebby.
