The global population is growing, and so is the demand for power – but growing just as quickly is the realisation that fossil fuels must be cut out of the generation equation. That means using a range of renewable energy sources, which are clean and attractive.
The extent of valuable IP in the energy and power industry has snowballed over the last two decades and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. What seems clear though is that no single technology can solve every challenge – so hybrid systems will likely come to the fore. Here at Mewburn Ellis our Energy and Power IP experts span our Engineering and Chemistry patent teams and they have a wide variety of technical backgrounds, this means we are well placed to consider all of the legal and scientific angles needed to build and defend a strong IP portfolio.
From batteries to hydrogen fuel cells, solar energy technologies to wave-power solutions and wind-power solutions we have extensive experience in assisting clients with obtaining IP rights in all of these areas and more. Our approach is flexible, meaning we can adapt and build multidisciplinary teams based on your specific needs.
We can help you to take advantage of the patent system to protect your innovations. We have significant experience in getting applications in this space granted at the EPO and UKIPO and have a strong track record of successfully challenging the IP rights of others in this area.
