ENERGY SECTOR
As with other sectors, patents play a central role in protecting rights in technology. Alongside patents, many renewable energy companies will use – and carefully protect – trade secrets and confidential information on various aspects of the relevant hardware and how they manufacture and deploy it.
Copyright, Trade mark, Design rights, protection of names, logos, packaging and broader branding, along with concerted efforts to combat counterfeiting, vigilance on the internet and social media and so on, will all play key roles for businesses in the renewable energy sector.
Even in the energy sector, Intellectual Property came up as a solution to protect valuable innovations.
