    • Abstract:
      The article reports on a controversy between Canon and Nano-Proprietary concerning patency. It says that Canon had licensed one of Nano's many patents in the sketchy field of carbon nano-tubes that held Canon not to go into business with Toshiba to produce screens using that technology. Nano has floated the notion that even companies developing non-carbon based field emission displays may be required to license patent portfolio in order to bring a product to market.
