- Title
Quantum Dot Litigation.

- Abstract
"Quantum Dot" technology involves nanomolecules that can be tuned to emit specific frequencies. The dots are molecule—sized semiconducting nanocrystals, generally composed of heavy metals surrounded by an organic shell. They have the potential to enable efficient solar power, targeted gene and drug delivery, solid—state lighting, and advances in biomedical imaging. Recently, there have been two lawsuits brought on patents covering this technology: Invitrogen and Nanosys cases. Although neither lawsuit culminated in a trial, or even a claim construction hearing, these cases-as well as other industry—wide considerations such as environmental concerns-may foreshadow the beginning of a new field of nano—litigation.
