In former case, its scale is rather small and the emphasis is on substantiating individual researcher's idea. Meanwhile the latter one should be planned, shared and evaluated systematically and repeatedly in big scale. The center will support these projects depending on each case. It also provides opportunities to present the research results for open discussion in the related workshops and meetings at several intervals.

We manufacture products for a wide range of fields and applications, from high-precision gears to ultra-precision plastic optical devices. In every sense of the term, all of our products are borne of "engineering plastic" technology. Since the company's establishment, Enplas's "integrated engineering" approach to technology has enabled us to make advancements in cutting-edge fields. Presently, we are about to embark on yet another challenging application of Enplas's integrated engineering technology, by moving forward to the technology of the future - OPTPLANICS, a fusion of optical and electronic technologies.

About the agreement with NanoOpto Corp.:
The manufacturing and licensing agreement between NanoOpto and Enplas allows Enplas to integrate NanoOptos technology into their products rapidly and, in turn, allows Enplas to offer new capabilities and cost reductions to their customers. In addition, NanoOpto will integrate a portion of their manufacturing technology in EnplasТ’ facilities. This will provide additional production capacity to ensure that these nano-optic devices can be brought to market in high volume and low cost.

At Foley & Lardner, we are excited about the broad vistas of nanotechnology and microsystems. We know that an emerging nanotechnology and microsystems sector lies at the intersection of materials science, organic chemistry and biochemistry, semiconductor design, fluidics, and computer science, among other disciplines. The overarching goal is to fabricate materials and devices from the bottom up, controlling structure at the atomic or molecular level. To these ends, whole new manufacturing technologies are under development, employing organic molecules or biomaterials for electronic- and optical-device applications, or relying on quantum-mechanical effects to generate a desired property. The fruits of these technologies may supplement or even replace conventional semiconductor devices, data storage materials, structural materials, and medical tools.
We provide one-stop legal shopping for nanotechnology and microsystems start-ups from concept to commercialization. With fully integrated expertise in business law, intellectual property law, health law, regulatory law, and tax law, we are uniquely positioned to take your company through the intricate maze that faces you as you bring your idea to market.

We also know, however, triumph in basic research does not guarantee commercial success. Victory in the marketplace requires a sophisticated combination of scientific discovery, intellectual property protection, regulatory approval, management acumen, and access to financial markets. We can bring real value to a nanotechnology or microsystems company because we have a keen comprehension of each of these areas, and the ability to suggest strategies that will keep your company on the path to commercial success.

Venture capitalists considering investments in a nanotechnology or microsystems company must learn all they can about the strength of the company's intellectual property position and its chances for obtaining required regulatory approvals. At Foley & Lardner, we offer a unified perspective on meeting the needs of the nanotechnology and microsystems sector and its sources of funding.

By integrating multiple disciplines within the firm, our Nanotechnology Team serves the diverse needs of nanotechnology- and microsystems-oriented enterprises in areas of regulatory affairs (FDA, EPA, USDA), general business law, securities, antitrust counseling, labor and employment law, taxation, international trade, health law, and intellectual property law to form a comprehensive legal approach to the needs of the nanotechnology or microsystems start-up.

(The firm has many offices in several states and countries. Check the site for more information.)

Hakuto was founded in November 1953, originally as a trading company who deals with import and re-sale of the crystal ore.

Our name is a combination of two Chinese characters, "Haku" and "To". "Haku" comes from an initial Chinese character of Brazil, a major export country of the crystal ore at that time. "To" comes from an initial Chinese character of Tokyo.

By this name, we expressed our passionate desire and ambition at that time to become an international trading company in future through our initial efforts to promote the business between Brazil and Japan.
