Sharemarket bolter Archer Materials did not disclose to investors that its patent application for a novel quantum computing chip was knocked back by IP Australia on February 11, after the government patent body objected to multiple claims in the application.

Archer Materials briefly topped a $700 million valuation at $3.08 on August 16 after it told investors its patent application in the US had progressed a stage further to the national phase of the patent granting procedure.
