Quantum dot and nanomaterials developer Nanoco has been notified by the court that the case between it and Samsung has been placed first in the trial schedule that starts on 6 January, it told shareholders on Friday.
The London-listed firm said that the court had scheduled a number of trials for the same date given that, historically, the majority of cases settle before trial.
However, the fact that the Nanoco trial was set first in the schedule meant it would not be dependent on other cases settling in order to proceed.
Nanoco Group PLC (LON:NANO) leads the world in the research, development and large-scale manufacture of heavy metal-free nanomaterials for use in displays, lighting, vertical farming, solar energy and bio-imaging.
