Impact of Nanotechnology on the Energy INdustry to be Examined at Conference as Part of International Nanotechnology Week

The future commercial impact nanotechnology will have on the energy industry will be presented by Carey Jordan, a partner in the Intellectual Property Department at Baker Botts L.L.P. as part of International Nanotechnology Week at nanotxUSA'08, Hyatt Regency Dallas convention hotel October 2-3.

Jordan will provide an overview of nanotechnology patenting trends in the energy industry. Her presentation will highlight a number of companies currently bringing nanotechnology into their operations through research in a number of key areas.

“The rapid pace of research and the increase in patents present both opportunities and challenges for companies seeking to introduce nanotech-based products,” Jordan said.

Also, Jordan will discuss how the U.S. Patent and Trademark office (USPTO) is treating patent application filings in this area and how this could impact current and future energy-related nanotechnology commercial development. The number of nanotechnology patents increased by 600 percent from 1997 to 2002, leading the USPTO to create a classification solely for nanotechnology inventions in 2005.

Jordan will give her presentation during the 10:30-12:30 session on Thursday, Oct. 2, in Cumberland G-H. Joining her will be Tom Bunting, Chevron Technology Ventures, who will discuss Chevron’s higher Diamondoid story.

Note: The Baker Botts booth at nanotxUSA ’08 is located at 404 and 405.
