THE HANDBOOK OF NANOTECHNOLOGY

THE HANDBOOK OF NANOTECHNOLOGY Business, Policy, and Intellectual Property Law John C. Miller Arrowhead Research Corporation Ruben M. Serrato Canon U.S.A. Jose Miguel Represas-Cardenas Stanford University Griffith A. Kundahl NanoBusiness Alliance with an editorial contribution by Mark Graffagnini John Wiley & Sons, Inc. More Praise for The Handbook of Nanotechnology “As someone who has successfully transitioned nanotechnology from the university lab to the commercial world, I can recommend this book as a ‘must-read’ for nascent academic entrepreneurs, those wishing to commercialize technologies they have developed at the university. As a faculty member at a major research univer-sity that is comprehensively involved in nanoscience and nano-technology research, I come into continual contact with such persons: I can now point them to the first book they should study. The chapters on business development are particularly valuable; I wish I had had this book 5 years ago.” —Max G. Lagally, founder nPoint, and professor of Surface Science, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison “In order for our society to realize the awe-inspiring potential for revolutionary change which nanotechnology promises in every industry from transportation to pharmaceuticals, complex issues of business, public policy and law must be managed at the highest levels of leadership in both the public and private sector. This Handbook provides an invaluable guide for that leadership.” —Rodney E. Slater, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation and partner at the law firm of Patton Boggs “This is an excellent work that is both comprehensive and prac-tical across a wide range of perspectives. It is great to have solid, detailed analysis of and advice on the science, business, and policy aspects of nanotechnology. This is one of the few publications to identify both the commonality of nanotechnology with existing industry and regulatory structures as well as its unique character-istics that have implications for policy, law, and running a busi-ness. It is a book that intelligently anticipates future developments in policy and intellectual property, as well as mergers and other financing activity.” —Randy Levine, Ph.D., president and CEO, ZettaCore, Inc. “Indispensable. I can’t imagine an attorney or policy maker not having this book on their shelf. It is an extraordinarily insightful and thorough book that delves into the intricacies of the emerg-ing nanotechnology field in an accessible and easy-to-understand manner.” —F.
