Green Patents

Global challenges such as climate change or scarcity of resources are currently boosting the demand for innovation and development within the environmental arts.

Renewable energy is just one example of a skyrocketing green sector. Already today, energy technology is on the verge of replacing more traditional industries as Denmark's number one export.

Worldwide, clean technology is seeing unprecedented growth, and thereby increasingly contributing to revenues and investment.

At Chas. Hude, we are seeing a growing demand for IP counsel within environment-related technologies.

As interest in green technology rises, clients operating in industrial sectors without a strong tradition in patenting are increasingly eager to protect their green technology. For example, green issues are leading to an increasing number of patent applications in the building sector.

Other examples include innovative ways to save energy, remediate contaminated sites or provide robust crops and clean water in an environmentally sound way.

Key technologies such as wind and solar power, fuel cells or biomass are seeing an increase in patenting, licencing and IP litigation.

Well-drafted patents, as well as skilful management and maintenance of green IP portfolios, are critical to ensuring a strong position in an increasingly environmentally oriented global economy.
