tailieunhanh - THE HANDBOOK OF NANOTECHNOLOGY Business, Policy, and Intellectual Property Law

Congress is a long way from the Texas laboratory where Richard Smalley made his Nobel Prize–winning discovery. Nevertheless, the gray-bearded scientist speaks with more than just confidence—he has a fiery passion. Perhaps he is inspired by an ardent desire to cure a vicious disease; perhaps he wants to express to the world the importance of his life’s work.

Miller Ruben Serrato Jose Miguel Represas-Cardenas Griffith Kundahl Foreword by Thomas A. Kalil 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 university that is comprehensively involved in nanoscience and nanotechnology 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 . Secretary of Transportation and partner at the law firm of Patton Boggs This is an excellent work that is both comprehensive and practical 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 characteristics that have implications for policy law and running a business. It is a book that .
