Megadiamond1s sub-license requires them to pay royalties on the sales value of diamonds produced in the press which they purchased from McCartney.

Tracy Hall Dense Silicon Carbide ISSUED PATENTS Country Number Issue Date United States 3,158,442 November 24, 1964 LICENSING We are planning to investigate the location and availability of the ultra high pressure equipment needed to produce the dense silicon carbide. At the present time the product does not seem to be able to induce the necessary motivation to acquire such equipment. However, it seems that if the equipment is already installed, a desire to fully utilize it might be sufficient motivation to consider producing research quantities of the dense silicon carbide. 40004446 BMK:elm RESEARCH CORPORATION NEW YORK, N.
