With three dozen case studies, the book analyses trends in Europe,
United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and India. The
book also includes a case study from the Asian Institute of
Technology on nanotechnology development in antimicrobial
paints.
It offers an overview of the dynamics of development and
commercialization in nanotechnology. The book has been authored
along with Dr. Prabuddha Ganguli, honorary scientific consultant
on innovation and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues to
Government of India.
According to Dr. Jabade, the attempt is to demystify issues of
Intellectual Property Rights associated with research, design,
technology transfer and commercialization of innovations in
tech-led areas such as nanotechnology.
The book foreword has been written by Mr. R. Chidambaram,
Principal Scientific Adviser, Government of India who states that
the book "will fill the present void of an authoritative reference
source in nanotechnology-related IPR."
