Are There Examples of Monopolies in Nanotechnology?
Yes, there are instances where companies have established a near-monopoly in certain areas of nanotechnology:
1. Carbon Nanotubes Production: Companies like Carbon Nanotechnologies Inc. have held significant control over the production of carbon nanotubes due to their extensive patent portfolios.
2. Quantum Dots: Large corporations such as Samsung and Nanosys have dominated the market for quantum dots, used extensively in display technologies.
