IP Protection for Green Technologies - Strategies for Success

Introduction

Robust intellectual property (‘IP’) protection for innovation is a key building block of an effective business strategy.

This is particularly acute in the green technology sector where there is a strong desire to encourage rapid innovation to drive global sustainability using carbon-neutral technologies.

In that sense, the question of IP protection for green technologies reaches beyond what is simply best for any particular business or industry and touches, crucially, on how research and development can be incentivised to encourage a transition to sustainable technologies on a global scale.

This new virtual classroom seminar will look at a range of green technologies and the most appropriate IP rights to protect them.

It will consider a range of IP strategies and how to select an appropriate strategy to encourage innovation, development and adoption of green technology.

The session will use case studies to demonstrate how different IP strategies can be implemented to achieve necessary goals and to explore how different regional strategies enable effective adoption of sustainable transitions across the world.
