The field of nanotechnology has been perplexing various areas within the law from day one. Yet, while legal challenges
stemming from new technological developments are quite common, nanotechnology raises a unique kind of quandary.
Namely, that it is not simply one technology or even one area of technology, but rather a whole different way of doing
things. This, as one may expect, makes nanotechnology inadequate for categorization using the rather neat
classifications that exist within the law. In other words: nanotechnology simply does not fit within any one legal “box.” In this talk I will further explain this fundamental
challenge that nanotechnology poses to the law and discuss the many legal areas implicated by developments in
nanotechnology.
