For anyone interested in this kind of detail, here is the patent:

For those not interested in that kind of detail, it is basically good old fashioned LP technology using an alternative materials to vinyl. Or you could consider it a better version of the Devialet "Lost recordings" lacquer offering, as you could at least play these as many times as you wanted.
It looks to me like a very niche offering. Although it might appeal to those who enjoy spinning analogue discs if something from a favorite artist was released in this format.
If something was released on this format and happened to be an album I was interested in, I probably would buy one just out of pure curiosity. (unless it was silly money)
If I was more cynical than I am, I might think that this was a shameless move by folk with the rights to some obscure recordings to extract lots of money from audiophiles.
