FYI - A complete article from the next issue of Nanotechnology Law & Business is now available online for free public download.

“Patenting Graphene: Opportunities and Challenges” - Andrew Baluch, Bryan Wilson, John C. Miller

From the abstract:

Graphene is emerging as a promising material for a variety of applications. Indeed, it might ultimately replace carbon nanotubes as the material of choice for certain nanotech-enabled electronic devices. In this article, patent lawyer Andrew Baluch and his co-authors provide an introduction to graphene, summarize the state of the obviousness doctrine under U.S. patent law, and explore the patentability issues associated with graphene inventions in light of the prior on carbon nanotubes and other carbon nanomaterials.
