Griffith Hack is pleased to announce the launch of the report 'Clean Coal Technologies: Where Does Australia Stand?' Analysis of patents for clean coal technologies, filed during the past five years, indicates Australia is at risk of losing its competitive edge on its biggest export earner. The analysis has been completed by the ‘Clean & Sustainable Technologies Group’ of Griffith Hack. The Griffith Hack Clean & Sustainable Technologies Group provides intellectual property services to organisations that develop technologies with a reduced environmental impact. “As the world’s leading exporter of coal, Australia should be well placed to drive clean coal technology,” the report notes. “Our research shows we’re falling behind. The analysis suggests we are filing fewer clean coal patents, with less commercial value, than foreign entities. This may erode Australia’s capability to commercialise clean coal innovation.” For the full report click here For further information on the report please contact Mike Lloyd. Mr Mike Lloyd |
