A WORKING OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OFFICE-
CHENNAI INAGURATING NANO PATENT : A PROFILE
Introduction
Every Technology handled by the Law of land in proper manner, in that matter
There is no second thought. At present stage Nano Technology boomed with the help of Indian Patent
Act , 1970 ( Amended 2005 ) . Compared with West , India put its step in to this technology very earlier. For example* , a clear evidence that Carbon Nano technology existed centuries before in the
Sothern part of India and Exported from the First century AD. This kind of Carbon Nano Technology
Mixed Swords used up to the period of Tipu Sultan ( The Tiger of Mysore ) , included it in his weaponry against the British. Nano technology is the manipulation of matter at the Atomic level and it has the
Potential for Energy efficiency** . For upgrading this technology , Patent is n essential part in providing protection to the inventor however the same turns futile if it is not properly granted or the patents so granted are overlapping with others. This synopsis attempts to address the issues of lack of knowledge and expertise in the field of Nano technology which act as possible road blocks in examining patent application for Nano technology inventions ***.
Key words :
Nano Technology, Energy, and Patent.
*P.48, Nano Digest, December, 2009.
** P.132m Civil Service Chronicle, May 2010
*** Hard Copies related with published Nano Patents Applications ( All Intellectual Property
Offices in India ).
Now it has been a accepted fact that the developments in Science and Technology are always steps ahead of Laws framed for regulating the technologies as a result of which the in the absence of a well defined regulatory frame work act as the Frankenstein Monster having enormous potential for Good as well as Evil*. In the light of this back ground,
