Abstract :
Money being invested in nanotechnology has to date produced few returns. Much of this is due to the novelty of the technology and the few commercial applications currently available. In order to improve commercial returns, companies will need to license nanotechnology. This papers deals with the basics of licensing and suggest strategies for improving the commercial returns through effective licensing.
