Statistical Survey of NanotechnologyRelated Patents as an Indicator ofNanotechnology Creation

In this paper. nanotechnology related patents published during 2001 - 2007 were investigated using website of QPAT in order to evaluation of innovation strength and nanotechnology market atrracu veness at different countries. At first step, the share of nanotechnology related patents of each country in different patent offices (USPTO, EPO) and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) was statistically searched and analyzed. Then the countries were ranked according to number of published patents. The relation between nanoscience generation and nano-innovation strength was also investigated and situation of the countries in both of indicators was studied. According to the results. high scientific potential is not lonely sufficient for promotion of nanotechnology creation but it is imperative to develop the infrastructures of intellectual properties in this field. AI second step, number of registered patents in each patent office available by QPAT website was analyzed as an indicator of technology strength and interior market attractiveness and finally relation between innovation strength and market attractiveness was studied.
