Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	1. Description of Business Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is a materials technology and manufacturing company that develops and commercializes products made from amorphous alloys. The Company’s family of alloys consists of a variety of bulk alloys and composites that utilizes the advantages offered by amorphous alloys technology. The Company designs, develops, manufactures and sells custom products and components from bulk amorphous alloys to customers in a wide range of industries. The Company also partners with third-party manufacturers and licensees to develop and commercialize Liquidmetal alloy products. Amorphous alloys are, in general, unique materials that are distinguished by their ability to retain a random atomic structure when they solidify, in contrast to the crystalline atomic structure that forms in other metals and alloys when they solidify. Liquidmetal alloys are proprietary amorphous alloys that possess a combination of performance, processing, and potential cost advantages that the Company believes will make them preferable to other materials in a variety of applications. The amorphous atomic structure of bulk alloys enables them to overcome certain performance limitations caused by inherent weaknesses in crystalline atomic structures, thus facilitating performance and processing characteristics superior in many ways to those of their crystalline counterparts. The Company’s alloys and the injection molding technology it employs results in components that exhibit: exceptional dimensional control and repeatability that rivals precision machining, excellent corrosion resistance, brilliant surface finish, high strength, high hardness, high elastic limit, alloys that are non-magnetic, and the ability to form complex shapes common to the injection molding of plastics. Interestingly, all of these characteristics are achievable from the molding process, so design engineers do not have to select specific alloys to achieve one or more of the characteristics as is the case with crystalline materials. The Company believes these advantages could result in Liquidmetal alloys supplanting high-performance alloys, such as titanium and stainless steel, and other incumbent materials in a wide variety of applications. Moreover, the Company believes these advantages could enable the introduction of entirely new products and applications that are not possible or commercially viable with other materials. The Company’s revenues are derived from i) selling bulk amorphous alloy custom products and components for applications, which include, but are not limited to, non-consumer electronic devices, medical products, automotive components, and sports and leisure goods, ii) selling tooling and prototype parts such as demonstration parts and test samples for customers with products in development, iii) product licensing and royalty revenue, and iv) research and development revenue. The Company expects that these sources of revenue will continue to significantly change the character of the Company’s revenue mix.

Notes to Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	2 . Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods or the year ending December 31, 2016. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2016. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue recognition policy complies with the requirements of ASC 605. Revenue is recognized when i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, ii) delivery has occurred, iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, iv) collection is probable and v) all obligations have been substantially performed pursuant to the terms of the arrangement. Revenues primarily consist of bulk amorphous alloy custom products and components, the tooling associated with production and prototyping projects, and licensing and royalty fees for the use of the Liquidmetal brand and certified Liquidmetal bulk amorphous alloys. Revenue is deferred and included in liabilities when the Company receives cash in advance for goods not yet delivered or if the licensing term has not begun. License revenue arrangements in general provide for the grant of certain intellectual property rights for patented technologies owned or controlled by the Company. These rights typically include the grant of an exclusive or non-exclusive right to manufacture and/or sell products covered by patented technologies owned or controlled by the Company. The intellectual property rights granted may be perpetual in nature, extending until the expiration of the related patents, or can be granted for a defined period of time. Licensing revenues that are one time fees upon the granting of the license are recognized when i) the license term begins in a manner consistent with the nature of the transaction and the earnings process is complete, ii) when collectability is reasonably assured or upon receipt of an upfront fee, and iii) when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the Company has no further obligation with respect to the grant of the license. Licensing revenues that are related to royalties are recognized as the royalties are earned over the related period. LIQUIDMETAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (numbers in thousands, except share and per share data) (unaudited) Fair Value Measurements The estimated fair values of financial instruments reported in the consolidated financial statements have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies, as applicable. The fair value of cash, restricted cash, and short-term debt approximate their carrying value due to their short maturities. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Entities are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has several financial instruments, namely warrant liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a periodic basis using Level 2 measurement inputs. These instruments are evaluated under the hierarchy of FASB ASC Subtopic 480-10, FASB ASC Paragraph 815-25-1 and FASB ASC Subparagraph 815-10-15-74 addressing the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and derivative accounting. The fair value of such instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Due to the presence of certain anti-dilution and exercise price reset provisions such instruments are required to be classified as liabilities (see Note 11). As of June 30, 2016, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Warrant liabilities (current) 983 - 983 - Warrant liabilities (long-term) 2,284 - 2,284 - As of December 31, 2015, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Warrant liabilities (long-term) 59 - 59 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the accounting for leasing arrangements, particularly those arrangements classified as operating leases. This update will require entities to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all leasing arrangements. The Company is currently assessing the effects this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. Stock-Based Compensation In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, inclusive of income tax accounting and disclosure considerations. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all impacted share-based payment arrangements. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. LIQUIDMETAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (numbers in thousands, except share and per share data) (unaudited) Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the requirements for identifying, allocating, and recognizing revenue related to the achievement of performance conditions under contracts with customers. This update also requires additional disclosure related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized under contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all revenue arrangements. The Company is currently assessing the effects this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which requires an assessment of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently addressed by U.S. auditing standards. This standard is effective for the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the requirements for measuring the value of inventory on a periodic basis. The new requirement will be to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. This standard is effective for the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Significant Transactions [Text Block]	3 . Significant Transactions 2016 Purchase Agreement On March 10, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2016 Purchase Agreement”) with Liquidmetal Technology Limited, a Hong Kong company (the “Investor”), providing for the purchase by the Investor of up to 405,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $63,400. The 2016 Purchase Agreement provides that the Investor is obligated to purchase up to 405,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in multiple closings, with the Investor having purchased 105,000,000 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $8,400 (or $0.08 per share) at the initial closing on March 10, 2016. The 2016 Purchase Agreement provides that the Investor will purchase the remaining 200,000,000 shares at $0.15 per share and 100,000,000 shares at $0.25 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $55,000 no later than 90 days after the satisfaction of certain conditions, including Company shareholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation increasing the Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock from 700,000,000 to 1,100,000,000 (the “Charter Amendment”). In addition to the shares issuable under the 2016 Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to the Investor a warrant to acquire 10,066,809 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.07 per share. The warrant vests in increments on each closing date under the 2016 Purchase Agreement for a number of warrant shares that is proportionate to the amount of shares purchased under the 2016 Purchase Agreement on such closing date (with 2,609,913 warrant shares having initially vested on March 10, 2016). The warrant will expire on the 10th anniversary of its issuance date; provided however, that should the subsequent closings under the 2016 Purchase Agreement not occur prior to the 90th day after the filing of the Charter Amendment, the warrant will automatically terminate and the Investor shall have no further right to exercise the remaining unvested 7,456,896 warrant shares under the warrant. The 2016 Purchase Agreement also provides that the Investor will have the right to designate one (1) individual to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. Once the Investor purchases the remaining 300,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2016 Purchase Agreement, the Investor will thereafter have the right to designate an additional two individuals to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors (such that the Investor would have designation rights with respect to three of the seven members of the Company’s Board of Directors, with one such member serving as Chairman). The 2016 Purchase Agreement also provides that, with certain limited exceptions, if the Company issues any shares of common stock at any time through the 5th anniversary of the Purchase Agreement, the Investor will have a preemptive right to subscribe for and to purchase at the same price per share (or at market price, in the case of issuance of shares pursuant to stock options) the number of shares necessary to maintain its ownership percentage of Company-issued shares of common stock. LIQUIDMETAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (numbers in thousands, except share and per share data) (unaudited) On May 19, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved the Charter Amendment, thereby obligating the Investor to purchase the remaining 300,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the aggregate purchase price of $55,000. If the Investor fails to purchase the remaining 300,000,000 shares of common stock by August 17, 2016 (the 90th day subsequent to the filing of the Charter Amendment), the Investor will forfeit certain rights, including the right to designate additional directors to the Company’s Board of Directors and the right to exercise the above described preemptive right. In such event, the Company will also have the right to repurchase all of the 105,000,000 shares held by the Investor at a per-share price of $0.08 within 15 months following the approval and filing of the Charter Amendment. Eontec License Agreement In connection with the 2016 Purchase Agreement and also on March 10, 2016, the Company and DongGuan Eontec Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation (“Eontec”), entered into a Parallel License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and Eontec entered into a cross-license of their respective technologies. The License Agreement provides for the cross-license of certain patents, technical information, and trademarks between the Company and Eontec.

The facility has been extended through August 25, 2016, with reductions in available borrowings and associated collateral requirements to $1,000. Amounts available under this facility are secured by cash collateral. Such collateral is included as restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2016, there was $700 in outstanding borrowings under this facility. Interest expense applicable to these borrowings was $4 and $8 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $0 for the corresponding three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015. Apple License Transaction On August 5, 2010, the Company entered into a license transaction with Apple Inc. (“Apple”) pursuant to which (i) the Company contributed substantially all of its intellectual property assets to a newly organized special-purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary, called Crucible Intellectual Property, LLC (“CIP”), (ii) CIP granted to Apple a perpetual, worldwide, fully-paid, exclusive license to commercialize such intellectual property in the field of consumer electronic products, as defined in the license agreement, in exchange for a license fee, and (iii) CIP granted back to the Company a perpetual, worldwide, fully-paid, exclusive license to commercialize such intellectual property in all other fields of use.

On May 20, 2014, the Company and Visser entered into a settlement agreement significantly amending the Visser MTA, whereby the Company granted to Visser a fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-transferable, nonexclusive sublicense to all of the Company’s intellectual property developed on or prior to May 20, 2014 (the “Effective Date”). Visser does not have any rights, now or in the future, to intellectual property of the Company developed after the Effective Date. The license to the Company’s intellectual property developed on or prior to the Effective Date does not include the right to use the “Liquidmetal” trademark or any of the Company’s other trademarks, except in certain defined situations, as set forth in the amended and restated agreement. With the foregoing revised arrangements, the Company is no longer required to use Visser as its exclusive manufacturer and is free to license other manufacturers on a non-exclusive basis in any industry or geographic market as to which the Company has not previously granted an exclusive license to a third party. Additionally, the settlement amended and restated the two warrants the Company issued to Visser in June 2012 to purchase 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.22 per share. The amended and restated warrant agreement includes the effect of anti-dilution adjustments and is exercisable for 18,611,079 shares of common stock (increased further to 21,126,522 shares under the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, see Note 11) at an exercise price of $0.17 per share (further reduced to $0.16 per share under the anti-dilution provisions of the warrants, see Note 11). Other License Transactions On January 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Supply and License Agreement for a five year term with Engel Austria Gmbh (“Engel”) whereby Engel was granted a non-exclusive license to manufacture and sell injection molding machines to the Company’s licensees. Since that time, the Company and Engel have agreed on an injection molding machine configuration that can be commercially supplied and supported by Engel. On December 6, 2013, the companies entered into an Exclusivity Agreement for a 10 year term whereby the Company agreed, with certain exceptions and limitations, that the Company and its licensees would purchase amorphous alloy injection molding machines exclusively from Engel, and this exclusivity right was granted in exchange for certain royalties to be paid by Engel to the Company based on a percentage of the net sales price of such injection molding machines. The Company’s Liquidmetal Golf subsidiary has the exclusive right and license to utilize the Company’s Liquidmetal alloy technology for purposes of golf equipment applications. This right and license is set forth in an intercompany license agreement between Liquidmetal Technologies and Liquidmetal Golf. This license agreement provides that Liquidmetal Golf has a perpetual and exclusive license to use Liquidmetal alloy technology for the purpose of manufacturing, marketing, and selling golf club components and other products used in the sport of golf. The Company owns 79% of the outstanding common stock of Liquidmetal Golf. In June 2003, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with LLPG, Inc. (“LLPG”). Under the terms of the agreement, LLPG has the exclusive right to commercialize Liquidmetal alloys, particularly precious-metal based compositions, in jewelry and high-end luxury product markets. The Company, in turn, will receive royalty payments over the life of the contract on all Liquidmetal products produced and sold by LLPG. The exclusive license agreement with LLPG expires on December 31, 2021. In March 2009, the Company entered into a license agreement with Swatch Group, Ltd. (“Swatch”) under which Swatch was granted a non-exclusive license to the Company’s technology to produce and market watches and certain other luxury products. In March 2011, this license agreement was amended to grant Swatch exclusive rights as to watches and all third parties (including the Company), but non-exclusive as to Apple, and the Company’s license agreement with LLPG was simultaneously amended to exclude watches from LLPG’s rights. The Company will receive royalty payments over the life of the contract on all Liquidmetal products produced and sold by Swatch. The license agreement with Swatch will expire on the expiration date of the last licensed patent.

Liquidity and Capital Resources [Text Block]	4 . Liquidity and Capital Resources For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s cash used in operations was $4,058, cash flows from investing activities were $924, primarily due to reductions in restricted cash as a result of collateral requirement reductions, and cash provided by financing activities was $8,415 due to cash received from equity sales under the 2016 Purchase Agreement and the exercise of stock options. As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s cash and restricted cash balance was $9,060, which consisted of $8,054 of cash and $1,006 of short-term restricted cash. On March 10, 2016, the Company entered into the 2016 Purchase Agreement with Liquidmetal Technology Limited providing for the purchase by the Investor of up to 405,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $63,400. LIQUIDMETAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (numbers in thousands, except share and per share data) (unaudited) The 2016 Purchase Agreement provides that the Investor is obligated to purchase up to 405,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in multiple closings, with the Investor having purchased 105,000,000 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $8,400 (or $0.08 per share) at the initial closing on March 10, 2016. The 2016 Purchase Agreement provides that the Investor will purchase the remaining 200,000,000 shares at $0.15 per share and 100,000,000 shares at $0.25 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $55,000 no later than ninety days after the satisfaction of certain conditions, including Company shareholder approval of the Charter Amendment. On May 19, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved the Charter Amendment, thereby obligating the Investor to purchase the remaining 300,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock by August 17, 2016 for the aggregate purchase price of $55,000 (see Note 3). The Company anticipates that its current capital resources, when considering expected losses from operations and excluding the potential additional $55,000 investment by the Investor, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations through the middle of 2017. The Company has a relatively limited history of producing bulk amorphous alloy products and components on a mass-production scale. Furthermore, the ability of future contract manufacturers to produce the Company’s products in desired quantities and at commercially reasonable prices is uncertain and is dependent on a variety of factors that are outside of the Company’s control, including the nature and design of the component, the customer’s specifications, and required delivery timelines. These factors will likely require that the Company make further equity sales under the 2016 Purchase Agreement, raise additional funds by other means, or pursue other strategic initiatives to support its operations beyond the middle of 2017. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to make further equity sales under the 2016 Purchase Agreement or raise additional funds by other means on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company were to make further equity sales under the 2016 Purchase Agreement or to raise additional funds through other means by issuing securities, existing shareholders will be diluted. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Company may be required to alter or reduce the scope of its operations or to cease operations entirely. Uncertainty as to the outcome of these factors raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These warrants had an original exercise price of $0.22 per share, expire on June 1, 2017 and were originally valued at $4,260. These warrants have certain anti-dilution and exercise price reset provisions which qualify the warrants to be classified as a liability under FASB ASC 815. As a result of subsequent issuances of the Company’s common stock, which resulted in anti-dilutive price resets, the exercise price of these warrants was reduced to $0.16 and $0.17 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. In addition, the number of shares to be issued under the warrants as a result of the anti-dilution provision increased to 21,126,522 and 18,937,931 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

These warrants have certain anti-dilution and exercise price reset provisions which qualify the warrants to be classified as a liability under FASB ASC 815. As a result of executed draw-downs under the 2013 and 2014 Purchase Agreements, contractually defined price resets, and issuances under the 2016 Purchase Agreement, which resulted in an anti-dilution impact, the exercise price of these warrants was reduced to $0.17 and $0.19 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. As of June 30, 2016 there were warrants to purchase a total of 17,572,000 shares of common stock outstanding, which were valued at $736 under the Black-Scholes valuation model utilizing the following assumptions: (i) expected life of 1.0 years, (ii) volatility of 72%, (iii) risk-free interest rate of 0.5%, and (iv) dividend rate of 0.

Related Party Transactions The Company entered into a license agreement (the “IMG License Agreement”) with Innovative Materials Group, LLC (“IMG”), a California limited liability company which is majority owned by Mr. Kang, a former Chief Executive Officer and former Chairman of the Company , to license certain patents and technical information for the limited purpose of manufacturing certain licensed products with the Company’s first generation die cast machines. The IMG License Agreement granted a non-exclusive license to certain product categories, as well as an exclusive license to specific types of consumer eyewear products and obligated IMG to pay the Company a running royalty based on its sales of licensed products through August 5, 2021. The Company recognized $ 0 in royalty revenues from IMG during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The IMG License Agreement was terminated on March 8, 2016. In March 2016, the Company executed an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Mr. Steipp. The Restated Employment Agreement provides for an employment term from its effective date through August 3, 2017, after which the employment term is renewed annually for successive one year terms, unless terminated by the Company or Mr. Steipp. Under the Restated Employment Agreement, Mr. Steipp is entitled to certain benefits if his employment is terminated involuntarily. These benefits include payment of a lump sum amount equal to one year of his annual base salary, continued insurance benefits at the Company’s expense for one year and accelerated vesting of equity awards. If the Company undergoes a “change of control”, and Mr. Steipp (i) is subsequently terminated without “cause”, or (ii) the Company subsequently takes certain actions that constitute “good reason”, and thereafter Mr. Steipp resigns, he will be entitled to a payment equal to one year of base salary, plus continued insurance benefits for two years, plus acceleration of vesting on equity awards and an extended time during which to exercise any equity awards that are stock options. LIQUIDMETAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue recognition policy complies with the requirements of ASC 605. Revenue is recognized when i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, ii) delivery has occurred, iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, iv) collection is probable and v) all obligations have been substantially performed pursuant to the terms of the arrangement. Revenues primarily consist of bulk amorphous alloy custom products and components, the tooling associated with production and prototyping projects, and licensing and royalty fees for the use of the Liquidmetal brand and certified Liquidmetal bulk amorphous alloys. Revenue is deferred and included in liabilities when the Company receives cash in advance for goods not yet delivered or if the licensing term has not begun. License revenue arrangements in general provide for the grant of certain intellectual property rights for patented technologies owned or controlled by the Company. These rights typically include the grant of an exclusive or non-exclusive right to manufacture and/or sell products covered by patented technologies owned or controlled by the Company. The intellectual property rights granted may be perpetual in nature, extending until the expiration of the related patents, or can be granted for a defined period of time. Licensing revenues that are one time fees upon the granting of the license are recognized when i) the license term begins in a manner consistent with the nature of the transaction and the earnings process is complete, ii) when collectability is reasonably assured or upon receipt of an upfront fee, and iii) when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the Company has no further obligation with respect to the grant of the license. Licensing revenues that are related to royalties are recognized as the royalties are earned over the related period.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value Measurements The estimated fair values of financial instruments reported in the consolidated financial statements have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies, as applicable. The fair value of cash, restricted cash, and short-term debt approximate their carrying value due to their short maturities. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Entities are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has several financial instruments, namely warrant liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a periodic basis using Level 2 measurement inputs. These instruments are evaluated under the hierarchy of FASB ASC Subtopic 480-10, FASB ASC Paragraph 815-25-1 and FASB ASC Subparagraph 815-10-15-74 addressing the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and derivative accounting. The fair value of such instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Due to the presence of certain anti-dilution and exercise price reset provisions such instruments are required to be classified as liabilities (see Note 11). As of June 30, 2016, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Warrant liabilities (current) 983 - 983 - Warrant liabilities (long-term) 2,284 - 2,284 - As of December 31, 2015, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Warrant liabilities (long-term) 59 - 59 -
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the accounting for leasing arrangements, particularly those arrangements classified as operating leases. This update will require entities to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all leasing arrangements. The Company is currently assessing the effects this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. Stock-Based Compensation In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, inclusive of income tax accounting and disclosure considerations. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all impacted share-based payment arrangements. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the requirements for identifying, allocating, and recognizing revenue related to the achievement of performance conditions under contracts with customers. This update also requires additional disclosure related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized under contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all revenue arrangements. The Company is currently assessing the effects this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements. Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which requires an assessment of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently addressed by U.S. auditing standards. This standard is effective for the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the requirements for measuring the value of inventory on a periodic basis. The new requirement will be to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. This standard is effective for the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
