NEC and SouthWest Nano do licence deal on nanotubes

NEC Corporation has concluded an agreement with SouthWest NanoTechnologies (SWeNT), according to which it grants SWeNT a non-exclusive licence under basic patents owned by NEC covering fullerene nanotubes discovered by Dr. Sumio Iijima, a senior research fellow at NEC, in 1991.

Whether fullerene nanotubes are an inherent product in Boudouard carbon or in transition-metal catalyzed filamentary carbon growth (RTK Baker) may be suggested.

I'm a patent lawyer located in central New Jersey. I have a J.D. from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. from Stanford University, where I studied graphite intercalation compounds at the Center for Materials Research. I worked at Exxon Corporate Research in areas ranging from engine deposits through coal and petroleum to fullerenes. An article that I wrote in The Trademark Reporter, 1994, 84, 379-407 on color trademarks was cited by Supreme Court in Qualitex v. Jacobson, 514 US 159 (1995) and the methodology was adopted in the Capri case in N.D. Ill. An article that I wrote on DNA profiling was cited by the Colorado Supreme Court (Shreck case) and a Florida appellate court (Brim case). I was interviewed by NHK-TV about the Jan-Hendrik Schon affair. I am developing ipABC, an entity that combines rigorous IP analytics with study of business models, to optimize utilization of intellectual property. I can be reached at C8AsF5 at yahoo.com.
