Abstract

Carbon Nanotechnologies Incorporated (CNI) is a Texas-based nanotechnology company, whose journey begins in 2000, as a spin-off from Rice University. By 2005, with the support of a broad intellectual property (IP) portfolio in the areas of production processes, enabling and end-use technologies, CNI has emerged as the world's leading producer of nanotubes. The case study traces the growth of CNI from a start-up to its emergence as a leading supplier of nanotubes. CNI has formed strategic alliances with companies like Sumitomo, 3P, Entegris etc, to reach a wider market. It is also focusing on consolidating its own intellectual property portfolio by way of patent protection and licensing its technical know-how to potential buyers. While the future seemed bright, questions were still being asked on how the company would shape up in the emerging nanotech industry.
