Sustainability & Clean Technologies

As we look to the future, we recognize innovation must be directed toward solving some of the major global environmental challenges facing our world.

The development of green technology, from wind turbines and solar panels, to energy efficient building materials, to biological methods for harnessing carbon neutral energy sources, will be critical for addressing the challenges of global climate change, promoting sustainable economic growth and reducing dependency on sources of fossil fuel.

To address these challenges the ingenuity and creativity of researchers, scientists, engineers and inventors will need to harnessed. But investments that inventors make must not be undermined by lax enforcement of intellectual property rights or a lack of understanding about the positive role of IP rights in driving solutions to today’s green energy challenges.

IP rights, both in Australia and abroad, are critical for ensuring inventors from around the world have the incentives and legitimate expectations of reward for their innovation to create the technologies that will drive this critical sector and contribute to the global solutions the world needs.
