Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is an enabling technology that spans many industry sectors, and often includes fundamental, breakthrough innovations. With this in mind, it is imperative that nanotechnology innovators leverage their success in order to overcome the costs of lengthy and capital-intensive R&D cycles. This places the utmost importance on intellectual-property strategies, and the development of a high-quality patent portfolio.

Our professionals have highly-technical backgrounds, with skilled expertise covering all aspects of materials science, physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and engineering, as well as significant experience with applications in a broad range of industries, including medicine, information technology, energy, textiles, and manufacturing. We understand the unique technical challenges of nanotechnology. Furthermore, we are organized to assist our clients with top-ranked, multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary teams to address innovations and matters in technical fields that are so new they have yet to be named.
