Caveat Emptor Nano

A recent Reuters story, Overused, Misused Nano Becoming Pervasive Prefix
(http://asia.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=technologyNews&storyID=3210383),
reminds me again of what NanoBusiness Alliance Executive Director Mark
Modzelewski wisely told Small Times reporter David Forman a few months
back following an apparent nanoscam
(http://www.smalltimes.com/document_display.cfm?document_id=5823) that
hit the industry:

Thanks for the links - they were very entertaining.
We are developing some materials (powders) in the .2 - .3 um range and we
are stumped on how to include nano in the project name (The word nano gets
our management very excited). Any suggestions ; )

Management gets excited, but not so excited as to be intelligently creative?

Nano-stuff .....

But, your stuff is kind of big to be called "Nano". The old
'sub-micron' is more accurate.

Ober-nano.... if you have a German flavor to it.

Accurate? - does that have something to do with - truth in marketing?

- We've been joking about the nano term for a while now - it seems that no
matter what the application - nano's the answer
(even if sub-micron works better)

Normally, fine powders would be called "micronized",
but in your case it is sub-micron. I don't think it would
be entirely dishonest to call it nano-something, but
"nanonized" or "nanoized" don't have a very good ring.
I like "nanoparticles", "nanoparticulate", "nanoparticulated".
However, they are not neologisms, which would be highly
desirable for anything you want to make into a trademark.
