Nano--
a) A prefix meaning 1*10^-9.
b) A term
commonly referring to really small things (more specifically from 'nanometer', on the order of 1*10^-9 meters or about 10
atoms wide!)
--Tech--
a) A portion of the word 'Technology' frequently referring to high technology and bleeding
edge technology. Very Exciting!
--tual Property--
a) A portion of the word/phrase 'Intellectual Property',
the study of Patents and value created from the mind. Patents in the U.S. can be obtained for "...anything under the Sun
made by man..." including really small 'stuff' for lack of a better word!
String them all together and you get "Nanotechtual
Property", a completely arbitrary term that is associated with the service of providing Intellectual Property legal and management
services for technologies associated with inventions within a couple orders of magnitude of 1*10^-9 meters! It is also associated
with goods (such as "inventors kits" or "Nanotech IP for Dummies type books") and other affiliated services.
