/* Universities */
== Key Players ==
=== Universities ===
* Universities play an important role in research and that's why it needs to be analyzed.
* Only 245 patents are filled by the universities research division.
* But companies are dependent on them for research activities.
* The analysis will give the insight of most involved university in terms of research on Carbon nanotubes.
