The interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology means that anyone interested in literature on nanotechnology, especially existing patent documents, struggles to retrieve it from the databases available.

To prepare for the impact of what experts predict to be the next big growth field after biotechnology, the EPO developed a highly efficient tagging system which follows the Office's internal patent classification system, assigning a "Y01N" tag to each document added to the databases.

The Y01N tags enable examiners to monitor emerging nanotechnology inventions and perform better patentability searches.

The EPO experts will answer your questions on booth 401 at NSTI 2007.
