Innovations
in clean energy technologies are deliberated in six countries – Japan, the
United States, Germany, the Republic of Korea, France, and the United Kingdom –
according to the latest United Nations-support study. The study, mutually
produced by the UN Environment Program (UNEP), the European Patent Office (EPO),
and the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (CTSD),
establish and found that the six nations, led by Japan, seize almost 80 percent
of all exclusive rights in the field of clean energy.

It
gives the impression of being into some 400,000 patent documents and intended
to observe the effect of patents on the global transfer of such technologies,
including solar photovoltaic, geothermal, wind, and carbon capture. The reported
statement also contains the first-ever analysis of licensing practices in the
clean energy field. 

Distant
from being a heave on economies and modernism, the global struggle to fight
climate change has flashed technological originality on low-carbon,
resource-efficient Green Economy solutions, believed UNEP Executive
Director. 

The
challenge currently is to discover conducts in which these signs of progress
can be dispersed, diffused, and spread and transferred universally so that the
advantages to both economies and the climate are shared by the many more
willingly than the few. 

Patents
and clean energy: 

Linking
the gap between facts and policy found that patent activity surged with the
acceptance of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, displaying that political verdicts
can be vital in stimulating and motivating the growth and development of
technologies believed to be fundamental in a deal with climate change.
Patenting charges in several clean energy technologies have developed 20
percent yearly since then; outpacing conventional energy sources of fossil
fuels and nuclear energy, the study said. 

Furthermore,
it is discovered that there is limited licensing movement, activity in
developing countries, but 70 percent of the survey reacted stated they are
organized and ready to present more flexible conditions when licensing in
poorer nations.
