NANOWERKNEWS (US)-- The international workshop on IPR in Nanotechnology, that was organized jointly by the European Patent Office (EPO) and DG Research of the European Commission, took place on April 16, 2007 in Brussels, Belgium. The workshop was connected to the Third International Nanotechnology Conference on Communication and Cooperation INC3. The aim of the nanotechnology IPR workshop was to identify specific IPR issues for nanotechnology and to discuss possible consequences for patent offices, policy makers, patent consultants and the research community. Many aspects have been identified in ongoing academic and political discussions such as the costs of patenting and the accessibility of patents for SMEs or Developing Countries and the need of a transparent and clearly defined scope of patent protection.
