Making intellectual property rights work for climate technology transfer and innovation in developing countries
This study investigates the controversial role of Intellectual Property
Rights (IPRs) in climate technology transfer and innovation in developing
countries. Using a systematic literature review and expert interviews, we
assess the role of IPRs on three sources of climate technology: (1)
international technology transfer, (2) adaptive innovation, and (3) indigenous
innovation. Our contributions are threefold. First, patents have limited impact
in any of these channels, suggesting that current debates over IPRs may be
directed towards the wrong targets. Second, trademarks and utility models
provide incentives for climate innovation in the countries studied. Third,
drawing from the results, we develop a framework to guide policy on how IPRs
can work better in the broader context of climate and trade policies, outlining
distinct mechanisms to support mitigation and adaptation. Our results indicate
that market mechanisms, especially trade and demand-pull policies, should be
prioritised for mitigation solutions. Adaptation differs, relying more on
indigenous innovation due to local needs and low demand. Institutional
mechanisms, such as finance and co-development, should be prioritised to build
innovation capacities for adaptation.
