What comes to mind when you think of the biggest innovators in cleantech? Obvious examples are electric vehicles, solar batteries, and the use of hydrogen in heavy industrial processes like steel and cement, but this is only the beginning. 

Solving problems sustainably is a booming industry, and bringing these ideas into the wider world is a complex jigsaw, a key piece of which is the protection offered to new inventions by patents. 

In the latest episode of From Idea to Intellectual Property, Spruson & Ferguson Principal Dr Gareth Dixon discusses how patents can be used to "exploit" beneficial technologies related to cleantech, where the number of patents being applied for and granted is increasing exponentially. Finding the fastest route to commercialisation is a key talking point - providing a deeper dive into how to maximise the return on investment. 

For more insights on the importance of IP in turning ideas into commercial realities, be sure to follow From Idea to Intellectual Property, brought to you by IPH Limited; new episodes will be dropping fortnightly.
