    Patenting in green technologies – challenges from an examiner/patent office perspective

    Green tech is a top priority across the globe, and innovation in green tech is key to achieving ambitious goals, such as zero carbon emissions in the medium term. Patenting in green tech has increased more than in any other technical field and is the subject of scrutiny for a variety of players, from governments looking for data to stimulate and steer innovation, to companies, inventors and investors. Green technologies get special attention at the EPO too.

    This video explains why innovation in green tech is important, how EPO examiners deal with it and what challenges green tech patents pose to examiners.
