Nanotechnology patents can cover a wide array of innovations, including:
- Nanomaterials: Patents related to carbon nanotubes, graphene, and other nanostructured materials. - Nanoelectronics: Innovations in electronic devices at the nanoscale, such as transistors and sensors. - Nanomedicine: Patents involving drug delivery systems, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic applications using nanotechnology.
Each of these areas may fall under different subcategories in the IPC and CPC systems.
