Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the term applied to the manipulation of materials and the fabrication of objects on a length scale of about 1-100 nanometers, giving rise to unique or enhanced properties. Nanotechnology is now integral part of our everyday lives, and awareness of technical challenges specific to Nanotechnology is therefore essential to maximise patent protection for inventions in this field.

Why DCC
