A bi-weekly event to present and discuss issues related to developments, applications and commercialization of nanotechnology.
The Carbon Nanotube Patent Landscape
Speaker: Drew L. Harris
Graves, Dougherty, Hearon & Moody A Professional Corporation
(VIDEO CONFERENCED FROM THE AUSTIN OFFICE OF WINSTEAD PC)
Abstract: Carbon nanotubes could be used in products across
several different industries ranging from electronics to materials to
health care. Because of their enormous commercial potential,
universities, start-ups, and corporations have aggressively sought
patent protection on nanotube-based products. In this presentation,
IP attorney Drew Harris lays out carbon nanotube patent landscape,
identifying key building block patents and summarizing potential
arguments as to why some of these patents may be invalid. He will
review some prior art from the 1970s and 1980s that could potentially
be used to invalidate certain nanotube patents, and will discuss
nanotechnology patent infringement actions currently being litigated.
This presentation is based on the author's article, The Carbon
Nanotube Patent Landscape, which is available at
www.nanolabweb.com or at Westlaw cite 3 Nanotechnology L. & Bus.
