ABSTRACT
Nanotechnology is the study of the chemical, physical, and biological properties of every single atom and molecule in nanoscale. Considering the abilities and opportunities provided by nanotechnology, new achievements can be madein the field of nanotechnology every day. Industryismaking progress by developing new products and services, and high investments are being madein the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Specifically, in the field of products, new inventions and new technologies are being released every day. Since there is a high probability of new inventions and productsoverlapping, all new technologies and new inventions need to be registered for the company or the individual in order not to be abused by competitors, and avoid conflicts between companies; in other words, the policies of science, technology, and innovation in this field should be based on reliable and comparable statistics, indicators, and other systematic approaches. Therefore, there is a set of rules and rights granted toindustry. Intellectual property is a broad categorized description for a number of intangible assets that legally protect the use or implementation of that property by others without the consent of the owner. Intellectual property can include patents, copyrights, trade market, and trade secrets. The role of intellectual property is poised to increase wealth creation, growth, and development through the application of new technologies across the world. IP describes the ownership of innovations, inventions, ideas, and creativity. Ownership of IP enables an individual or organization to benefit from its application and any financial rewards to be reaped from encouraging other innovators. The nanotechnology industry has a variety of products in various fields. There is also a possibility of the violation of intellectual property rights. Violating intellectual property rights, ‘infringements’ in relation to patents, copyright, and trademarks, and ‘misappropriations’ related to trade secrets is a violation of civil or criminal law, depending on the intellectual property, the jurisdiction, and the nature of the act.
