They use the European Classification ECLA, an internal classification tool developed on the basis of the IPC but with further subdivisions and better adaptation to the different technical fields. They classify EP and PCTapplications for publication using the International Patent Classification IPC, and they classify new patent documents and nonpatent literature for addition to the systematic search documentation.

The indexing codes are only available online they are not used when filing actual patent documents.

For maintaining or improving the quality of the search documentation, the examiners continuously reorganise the internal classification system. In order to overcome the limitations of classification system, secondary systems are in use or under development. First results of this NTWG are agreement within the EPO on definition of nanotechnology and the creation of the corresponding tagging system Y01N which enables the monitoring of the evolution of patenting trends in this area of technology.

Meanwhile, an article on managing investment expectations includes some discussion of public understanding of nano Ronald Sandler, assistant professor of philosophy at Bostons Northeastern University, has tracked several studies on public perceptions of nanotechnology and addresses the level of understanding for the field. The issue has the usual hardcore technical news SiGe transistor operates at frequencies above GHz, Method creates hollow nanocrystals, nanopore technique sequences DNA Bacterial detection using quantum dot nanocomplexes, Miniature airborneparticlemass monitors, Dotinwell quantum dot photodetectors.

dont think the delays are due to closer scrutiny wish they were! Christine concerned public Says 17th, at pm So who is responsible for Morgellons? it is obviously nano out of control.. work in technologyheavy field, and significant majority of my colleagues are wellread and pay attention to the news. The examiner only spends hours per patent on average looking at prior so Ive been told.

Christine Peterson Says 25th, at pm The first commenter above makes good point, but Ive heard delay for nanotech patents of four years, and that just seems too long. similarif not greaterignorance pervades the populace of the city in which live. At least, not here in America. According to the report, these figures indicate that bottleneck at the USPTO is limiting inventors ability to secure intellectual property rights.

According to the report, these figures indicate that bottleneck at the USPTO is limiting inventors ability to secure intellectual property rights. On the topic of nanotech intellectual property, the issue cites recent report from Lux Research and Foley & Lardner, commenting The report finds that the rate of new nanotech patent issuances stalled at 4 in after exceeding 20 in the last few years.

At least, not here in America. can see his answer being applicable to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, India, and perhaps select European countries. similarif not greaterignorance pervades the populace of the city in which live. work in technologyheavy field, and significant majority of my colleagues are wellread and pay attention to the news. Third, does the public understand that nanotechnology is likely to be the platform for the next revolution in technology and industry and therefore have significant social impacts? The data on this so far is that the public largely does.

Nederland BV Cir. 370, USPQ2d 1996 Arilington Indus., Inc. AWH Corp., Case no. again looks to the patent specification and states Because the phrase substantially spherical having cylindrical component added thereto has no precise and generally understood meaning in the art. Two court cases are of note, each having different outcome. While these the patents at issue in these recent ceases are not directed to nanotechnology inventions, the cases still provide relevant insight into the courts approach. The patent in Irdeto Acces,U. S. 2002 Note that the Federal Circuit Federal Circuit that illustrate modern day claim construction analysis.

As one can see claim construction analysis with the ordinary meaning of the claim term. When determining the ordinary or customary meaning of clam term, the court typically cites one or both of the twin axioms regarding claim construction, namely one on the one hand claims must be read in view of the specification, of which they are part and on the other hand it is improper to read limitation from the specification into the claims.

Cir. Id. 1995, affd, 2002 Note that the Federal Circuit Federal Circuit that illustrate modern day claim construction analysis.

Patent no. patent grants the right of exclusion, and does not necessarily grant the patent holder the right to practice the patented invention. It is possible that an earlier, broader patent has issued to someone else. Infringement and patentability are two different legal issues. Concerns regarding infringement are often addressed with freedom to operate analysis. LiebelFlarsheim Co. AWH Corp., Case no.

of the patents deal not with end products, such as pharmaceuticals, but with production processes, such as molecular selfassembly and soft lithography involving miniaturization. Such processes could help NanoTerras partners fashion products like solar cell wiring or decorative windshield patterns, using new types of molding and printing, said Whitesides, the companys chairman.Whats happening is an explosion of interest in small technology across range of fields, he said. Because the technologies are so earlystage, we concluded it was probably too early to license them to established companies.NanoTerra has not raised venture capital, Roberts said.

Harvard will also receive royalties from industrial applications of the intellectual property, developed over decade in the universitys Whitesides Laboratory, said Kohlberg who is also senior associate provost, managing Harvards Office of Technology Development. Such licensing arrangements are common at research universities like Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both in Cambridge. While the technology development office has previously licensed nanotech patents for biomedical uses, the broad portfolio covered in the deal with NanoTerra focuses on nonbiomedical applications.

Igami, At this stage, bottomup nanotechnology is likely to have relatively small impact on fields of application. Shares in total nanotechnology patents are larger than shares in total PCT filings in the United States, Japan, Ireland, Poland, and Singapore. Then the NTWG identified nanotechnology patents through keyword searches, consultations with nanotechnology experts in the EPO, and peer reviews by external experts. At first, it worked on the definition of nanotechnology in order to watch trends in nanotechnology patents.

Electronics, Optoelectronics, Medicine and biotechnology, Measurements and manufacturing, Environment and energy, and Nano materials, based on the International Patent Classification. It covers equipment and methods for controlled analysis, manipulation, processing, fabrication or measurement with precision below 100nm. The development of such technologies, e. g.Nano materials, has been particularly intense in the past decade and is fuelled by scientific discoveries such as carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. Nanotechnology patent applications were further categorised into six fields of application by the OECD, Nanotechnology is multifaceted.

In the EPO, nanotechnology working group NTWG was created in2003. Nanotechnology patent applications identified via the EPO are analysed in this section. Nanotechnology is multifaceted. nanotechnologies, especially nanotechnologies related to Electronics and Optoelectronics, seem to be developed through topdown process in which nanostructures are created by the miniaturisation of existing technologies. Source OECD, Patent database, April2007, available at Another group of nanotechnologies is developed by bottomup process. In the EPO, nanotechnology working group NTWG was created in2003. Nanotechnology patent applications identified via the EPO are analysed in this section. Nanotechnology is multifaceted.

Shares in total nanotechnology patents are larger than shares in total PCT filings in the United States, Japan, Ireland, Poland, and Singapore. countries report significant increase in the shares of nanotechnology in order to watch trends in nanotechnology patents. As consequence of these endeavours, about 90000out of 20million patent or nonpatent literature documents were tagged to class Y01N.
