It has long been recognized that in the tiny nano-level world, materials can exhibit properties that are rarely seen or utilized. Nanotechnology scientists attempt to exploit these unique properties, producing new materials, new processes, and new uses for the materials and processes. Several countries, including the U.S and Japan, have allocated substantial resources for Nanotechnology Research and Development.

Nanotechnology advances require significant R & D investments. The resulting intellectual property rights in these advances must be properly protected to assure the return on the investment. Protecting these intellectual property rights requires the skills of an attorney that understands Nanotechnology.
