It is clear that the global push for green innovation is no longer just aspirational, it is structural. Over the past decade, countries around the world have implemented a mosaic of policies to accelerate environmentally friendly technologies, many of which intersect with intellectual property. But intellectual property (IP) is just one piece of a much larger innovation puzzle.
Increasingly, we see that financial incentives, regulatory frameworks and IP protections are working in tandem to drive green agri-tech. Incentives can include tax credits, substantial grants supporting climate-smart agriculture, subsidies for carbon farming, or &ldquo;patent box&rdquo; regimes offering reduced tax rates on income from green IP, all of which then shape the behavior of startups and researchers alike. However increasingly the conversation is expanding beyond patents and grants into including carbon markets.
