International Approaches to Advancing Environmental Innovation by Integrating WIPO GREEN with Intellectual Property Rights
Main Article Content
Abstract
Environmental sustainability is a pressing global concern that necessitates innovative solutions in green technologies. The World Intellectual Property Organization’s (hereinafter “WIPO”) WIPO GREEN initiative aims to facilitate the exchange and adoption of green technologies worldwide. This research paper explores the integration of WIPO GREEN with intellectual property rights (IPR), comparing international approaches to enhance environmental innovation and promote sustainable development. By analyzing policy frameworks and implementation strategies in regions such as the European Union, the United States, China, India and other key areas, this study identifies best practices and challenges in harmonizing WIPO GREEN with existing IPR systems. The findings suggest that strategic alignment of WIPO GREEN with robust IPR mechanisms can significantly accelerate the dissemination and adoption of green technologies, thereby contributing to global sustainability goals.
