Nanotechnology
An industry expected to contribute $1 trillion a year to the U.S. economy by the year 2015, nanotechnology is the wave of the future. And the Intellectual Property Group stands where it always has: in support of those who shape the future through imagination and innovation.
Upon attracting the financial sector's attention in the 1990s, nanotechnology was incorporated into everything from creative new medical treatments, to tiny microprocessors, to stain-resistant fabrics. Given the broad application potential of nanotechnology, the exceptionally broad scientific knowledge of the Intellectual Property Group offers comprehensive advice to companies that must prepare to protect the myriad nanotechnology products and processes that are on the way.
Our long, successful history of working with companies in fields such as semiconductors, chemical processes and biotechnology gives the Intellectual Property Group a unique perspective on the challenges the nanotechnology industry will face as it grows and develops. We have worked with entrepreneurial companies, inventors, researchers and academic institutions for decades, on virtually every aspect of intellectual property law. Our attorneys, patent agents and technical advisors—many with advanced degrees in areas directly related to this new discipline—have the know-how to prosecute the proper patents, evaluate patent portfolios and formulate strategies for protection of this innovative technology and its varied applications.
