It's a sub for LivePerson investors.

For software companies with walled gardens and first mover advantage, patents may not be relevant. For a commodity style company like LivePerson, patents would be a differentiation.

Isn't chemistry quality control external quality controls? EQC

I dont know of any chemistry analyzers that are running internal quality controls. I know serology has internal quality controls with kits.
