We are helping protect green and sustainable technologies and welcome further opportuntinities to do so.

1. GREEN TECHNOLOGY
We are very interested in green technologies. We assist several clients in this sector and are actively
seeking more. There are 3 reasons for this:
1) we believe that green technologies have an important role to play in combating climate change
and the intellectual property services we provide encourage investment in this area and help
support companies working in this field
2) with all the government support and growing public call for reduction in greenhouse gases, this
is likely to be a growth area and so good for business! It also covers a very wide range of
technology so is relevant to all parts of our business.
3) Several of our patent attorneys have a personal interest in this area – it’s great to work on
subject matter that you enjoy!
We have clients in the following areas:
• The manufacture of solar cells
• A small eco-car that has a very small carbon footprint (both in its manufacture and its use)
• Wind turbines
• The production of biodiesel from oilseed
• Energy saving heating systems
• An eco-friendly building
We have also done work for Climate Care and we are currently working on a pro bono basis with 10:10
– which promotes a 10% reduction in personal and business carbon footprint by the end of 2010 (see
www.1010uk.org). These are also the people who produced the much talked about film ‘The Age of
Stupid’ (see www.ageofstupid.net).
