Molecular Imprints, Inc. (MII) makes specialized lithography equipment used to imprint circuit designs onto semiconductor wafers and to fabricate nanoscale devices, micromachines, and structures. MII's Imprio systems use a technology called step-and-flash imprint lithography. Molecular company has installed advanced lithography tools at Cardiff University in the UK, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Twente in the Netherlands. Molecular company was established in 2001. MII has offices in Germany, Japan, and the US.

MOSAID Technologies Incorporated engages in the licensing of patented semiconductor and telecommunications intellectual property (IP), complemented by the development of memory and other technologies. The company has right to license approximately 50 patents and foreign counterparts relating to digital signal processors (DSPs), reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processors, microprocessors, microcontrollers, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), application specific standard products (ASSPs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and semiconductor memory and processing technologies. The company also owns a portfolio of 400 patents relating to DRAM, Flash memory and semiconductor process technology. It also owns patents relate to technologies, including power over Ethernet (PoE), voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), IP private branch exchanges (IP-PBXs), wireless access points (WAP), IP digital subscriber line access multiplexers (IP-DSLAMs), cable modems, and asynchronous DSL (ADSL) modems. Licensing Programs The company has two major licensing programs, including the semiconductor licensing program and the telecommunications licensing program. The semiconductor licensing program focuses on licensing its memory patent portfolio, which includes patents related primarily to DRAM, Flash memory and PSRAM, and its microcomponents patent portfolio. The telecommunications licensing program focuses on licensing the company’s wireless patent portfolio, and on licensing the communications portfolio. As of April 30, 2008, the company had granted 33 patent licenses to companies headquartered in Asia, Europe and North America. The company, under its semiconductor licensing program, licenses to the DRAM market. It has signed a license agreement with Etron Technology, Inc., a DRAM vendor based in Taiwan. Under its telecommunications licensing program, it granted wireless patents to Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (Panasonic). Panasonic was granted a six-and-a-half year license under its patents for its Wi-Fi, WiMAX and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)-enabled notebook personal computers (PCs) and other products sold globally, with the exception of mobile handsets.

MRL Industries, Inc. established in 1979, was acquired in 1998 by Sandvik. MRL Industries, Inc. company's products include heating elements, furnace systems, insulation materials, gas systems, and cantilever loading systems. It also provides support services, including installation and repair. Thermal processing is used in semiconductor manufacturing for annealing, deposition, oxidation, and silicide formation. The Swedish manufacturer bought the company a few months after Selas Corporation of America (now IntriCon) agreed to acquire MRL for nearly $17 million in stock, then backed out of the deal.

NanoInk, Inc. engages in developing, manufacturing, and distributing nanometer-scale structures and applications for life science and semiconductor industries in North America, Europe, and the Middle East. It offers patterning systems; nanofabrication systems with integrated atomic force microscopy imaging; desktop nanofabrication systems; nanolithography platforms for desktop nanofabrication; research platform enabling Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN); NanoStem biochips; curriculum-led projects for undergraduate education in nanotechnology; and nanotechnology curriculum and product programs. The company provides accessories and consumables, which include probes and pens, substrates, and inkwells and inks; accessories for DPN; and array-based instrument systems and contract research services for nanoscale protein detection and discovery. It also offers DPN instruments and nanofabrication systems for pharmaceutical customers, as well as provides installation, training, and custom application development services. The company’s products are used in protein assay applications, such as kinase profiling, auto-antibody detection, antibody specificity characterization, protein-protein interaction detection, and protein-small molecule interaction studies. It sells its products through distributors in the United States, Canada, Europe, China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and India.

Nanosys develops nanomaterials for use in many different systems. These tiny structures are engineered on a nanometer scale. (To get an idea of how small a nanometer is, consider this: If a human hair were the width of the US, one nanometer would be as long as three railway locomotives.) Nanosys company's patented materials enable enhanced function in a variety of applications, including solar cells, biological sensors, flash memory devices, specialized coatings, and flexible electronics. Nanosys company's customers include Matsushita Electric Works, SAIC, and agencies of the US government.
