<strong>IPC</strong> <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Inventory</strong>IntroductionAs has been widely recognized, long-term sustainable economicgrowth can only be achieved at the global level through thedevelopment, diffusion, and deployment of green or environmentallysound technologies (ESTs).Though the process of developing, diffusing, and deployingtechnologies is complex and many-faceted, one thing is clear: A keyfirst step in the process is determining which green technologies existand who the major players in this field are. Armed with thisknowledge, scientists and engineers as well as decision-makers ingovernment and industry can more effectively plan research anddevelopment activities, forge strategic partnerships, and carry outtechnology transfer, as necessary.Much of the information currently available about new technologiescan be found in patent documents. In the words of Dr. Francis Gurry,Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization(<strong>WIPO</strong>), “Patent information is the gold mine of human knowledge.”Each year nearly one million new inventions are disclosed in patentdocuments, adding to an existing body of far more than 50 millionpatent documents. Many of these inventions are not disclosedanywhere else, including in scientific and technical publications.As the owner of the global patent database PATENTSCOPE, <strong>WIPO</strong>launched in 2010 a powerful online tool: the <strong>IPC</strong> <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Inventory</strong>. Thistool is designed for searching and retrieving patent documents relatedto green technology from around the world in order to contribute tothe accessibility of patent information about green technologies. Witha few simple clicks, the <strong>IPC</strong> <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Inventory</strong> can give direct access tothe latest patent information about technologies in a number of fieldsincluding alternative energy production, energy conservation,transportation, waste management, and agriculture and forestry.www.wipo.int/classifications/ipc/en/est
