The nanotechnology industry is a fast growing industry with many
unique characteristics. When bringing the results of nanotechnology
research to the market, companies and universities run into
unforeseen problems related to intellectual property rights and
other legal and regulatory issues. An effective commercialization
of the results of research requires basic knowledge of the relevant
issues and a well-defined strategy, while the absence of such
knowledge and strategy can be detrimental to the commercial
potential of any invention. Even the most impressive scientific
achievements can become a commercial failure due to a lack of
understanding and strategy relating to the legal and regulatory
issues surrounding the commercialization of a technology.
With contributions from twenty experts in the field, Nanotechnology
Commercialization for Managers and Scientists discusses the most
relevant issues that a company or university will face when
bringing a nanotechnology invention to the market. A large part of
the book will be dedicated to the obtainment, strategic use,
valuation and licensing of patents. Further chapters will deal with
e.g. investment, university-industry collaboration, environment
health and safety, etc. In this way managers and scientists at
universities and companies are provided with a handbook that
provides them with industry specific basic knowledge of issues that
they are unfamiliar with but is essential to the commercial success
of their inventions.
