Here are some acronyms that were used during a Nanotechnology conference I attended this morning titled “What the Federal Government is doing that may affect nanotechnology commercialization”.
EHS, SBIR, EDGE, HBITC, SEF, FDA, EPA, Class I/II/III, NIH, ICTA, FFDCA, OTC Drugs, NIOSH, ABA, TSCA, NMSP, CNT, OECA, GAO, OSHA, USPTO, USPC,
Guess what countries filed the most “nanotechnology” patents in the US (2008)?
Japan 47%, Germany 11%, S. Korea 7%, and France 5%, then the US.
Patents granted (in descending order): IBM, Canon, UC-Cal, Seiko Instruments, Hitachi, Olympus, Stanford, Advanced Micro Devices, HP, and Rice University.
