• Atlantic NanoForum: The Atlantic NanoForum emerged from the concept of self-help by the nanotechnology community and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). By providing detailed, technology-based lectures in specified areas, technical information and resources are shared to sharpen skills of the examiners and improve perception that the PTO is sufficiently trained to handle the fast emerging areas of nanotechnology. The Atlantic NanoForum also provides networking and educational opportunities for venture capitalists, startup companies, industry, researchers, government officials, policy makers and others so that vibrant products and companies may emerge. Atlantic NanoForum participants include Buchanan Ingersoll PC, IEEE, ASME Nanotechnology Institute, the MIT-Stanford-UC Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum, Nano Science and Technology Institute, Southeastern University Research Association, Girvan Institute of Technology, Quantum Insight and the Virginia Nanotechnology Initiative.
