What Are the Challenges in Enforcing Patents in Nanotechnology?
Enforcing patents in nanotechnology can be challenging due to:
The complexity and interdisciplinary nature of nanotech inventions. Difficulties in detecting and proving infringement, especially for processes occurring at the nanoscale. The fast-paced evolution of the field, which can render patents obsolete more quickly than in other industries.
These challenges necessitate specialized legal and technical expertise to effectively manage and enforce nanotechnology patents.
