Is this an actual thing? Genuinely asking. Not that rules and laws seem to matter anymore to the current US administration anyway
- chemeng 9mo agoYes, the mechanism is effectively EAR/FDPR and you can check (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithograph...) for more detailed history, but the EUV technology ASML further developed and commercialized (no small feat) was licensed from a US Govt created consortium by which the government maintains their IP rights.
- lovich 9mo agoNot sure why IP law would be respected if the king actually pulls the trigger on taking Greenland. That’s not guaranteed at this point, but it’s also not off the table since all the old rules are being shredded as fast as possible.
