The Patent System is vital in the debate on climate change
The President of EPO Benoît Battistelli has been on a conference in the middle of July regarding climate change and green technologies. The conference was organized by the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA). During the conference Mr Battistelli said, “The patent system has a key role to play in the debate on climate change by providing objective data and evidence”. Furthermore he said, "Patents play an important role for climate change technologies, just as they do in all other technical fields - they provide incentives, first to create new products and processes and then to distribute them as widely as possible".
He talked about a study that had been done by the Office together with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Center for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) on the role of patents in the transfer of climate change mitigation technologies.
EPO has developed a new classification scheme for clean energy technologies and reclassified its entire world wide database. "Apart from being easily accessible to and understandable by non-experts, this new information tool will always be kept up to date and accurate. Embedding it in the EPO's classification scheme ensures that the collective intelligence of 4 000 patent examiners and classification experts maintains and improves it automatically on a daily basis," Mr Battistelli said.
