The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is at the cutting edge of nanotechnology standardization and nomenclature development. ANSI has graciously agreed to publish a 4-5 part series on their efforts in this regard — as well as their work with/through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) — in Nanotechnology Law Report starting in our upcoming June edition. We are pleased to have ANSI’s participation which should be an effective way to increase our readers’ awareness and participation in the standardization process. We encourage readers to check back regularly for ANSI updates.
