PART I - REGISTRANT INFORMATION

Full Name of Registrant:       NOCOPI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Address of Principal           537 Apple Street
Executive Office:              West Conshohocken, PA 19428




PART II - RULES 12B-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the Registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

           [x] (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of
this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

           [ ] (b) (i) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
report on Form 10-K, Form 20F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be
filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date;
or

           [x] (ii) The subject quarterly report or transition report on Form
10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day
following the prescribed due date.

           [ ] (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.


PART III - NARRATIVE

An individual customarily responsible for assisting in the preparation of
Registrant's periodic reports (including Form 10-QSB) was injured during July
and only recently (during the second week of August, 2002) has recovered
sufficiently to return to work on a part-time basis and participate in the
preparation of Registrant's Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. In
view of the recent adverse publicity concerning a number of Issuers whose
reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 contained errors, and
the recent passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Registrant has determined
that it is desirable for the subject filing to be minimally delayed in order for
such individual to participate fully in its preparation.
