Nanotech progress and slow patent
process
.
As the time it takes to process patent applications now
averages almost four years in US, double the time it took in
2004, nanotech entrepreneurs are beginning to worry that their
ability to raise money to develop products may be stifled.
For most of the start-ups, intellectual property is their
main asset, sometimes their only asset, and to have
uncertainty is problematic. October,
