Join us online, with our partner Appleyard Lees, for this exciting event to hear about what’s going on in green innovation, with the launch of  their ‘Inside Green Innovation – Progress Report – Fourth Edition’.

What can patent data reveal about global progress in green innovation, and what might be achieved in years to come?

Appleyard Leeds annual ‘Inside Green Innovation – Progress Report’ analyses patent filings across several areas of innovation, and there data-driven report gets behind the rhetoric, to shed light on the state of progress in the development of green technologies.

You’ll hear from Patent Attorney, Chris Mason, Partner, Appleyard Lees, who operates over a wide range of fields including chemistry, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and medical devices. Chris is particularly experienced working directly with companies to design and implement patent filing strategies that align with the commercial objectives of the business. Chris often comes across green innovation in the little things. It may be a reduction in the energy required for a manufacturing process, innovations that allow for a greater use of recycled feedstock, or a new material with improved degradability. Regulatory pressures are a significant driver in many of these green developments, and there is now also a clear focus amongst many companies toward product life cycle sustainability. Outside of the iterative improvements, Chris is also working with clients striving to establish whole new green industries, with the promise of radical changes to come.

As well as taking you through the results of the new report, Chris will talk about:

• How close are we to finding the technological solutions that will be so important for achieving sustainability?
• Where, and by whom, are these innovations being developed?
