Legal Boosting And Regulation Of Nanotechnology

It is no doubt that nanotechnology has become a revolutionary technology that can change human's way of life. At the same time, nanotechnology also has the fatalness as the nuclear- technology and biotechnology. In the first instance, the author makes a survey about nanotechnology, include origin, basic theory, concept, applied area, status quo of research and so on. And then, the author abstracts the own characteristic of nanotechnology by summarizing and analyzing the above-mentioned materials. Due to its own characteristics—bottom utility, uncertain fatalness and moral obligation--we must establish a whole set of regulation and principle of research and product of nanotechnology so as to distinguish from other technology. In these principles government intervention, monopoly forbidden and ensuring boundary are the most important ones. And based on these principles the author provides a series of innovative and reasonable measures of nanotechnology legal protection, includes launching a national nanotechnology developmental program, admitting the patent of product of nanotechnology, restricting the research of nanotechnology with uncertain fatalness, performing the license system of the research of nanotechnology and so on. A whole legal protection system of nanotechnology will be set up with these mentioned regulations, measures and policies.
