What can we learn about them from looking at patent data?
The past decade has seen unprecedented investment in renewable energy, as well as significant development of new technologies. You can see the evidence of this with the proliferation of solar cells and wind turbines dotted across the landscape. But it can also be measured by looking at trends in the number of published patent applications.
Patents are widely used as an indicator of how much innovation is taking place, where and in which fields. Taking a deeper look at the data can therefore provide a range of insights into innovation in this sector. | | Del av verk: | WIPO Magazine 1/2020 |
