What are the Challenges in Protecting Proprietary Information?
Protecting proprietary information in nanotechnology comes with several challenges:
1. Complexity of Nanomaterials: The intricate nature of nanomaterials and processes makes it difficult to define and protect proprietary aspects. 2. Rapid Innovation: The fast-paced innovation in nanotechnology can outpace legal protections like patents, leaving gaps in protection. 3. Global Collaboration: International collaborations and partnerships can complicate the enforcement of proprietary information protections.
