International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week Giulio Ceccarini, Patent Examiner WG on sustainable technologies European Patent Office (EPO) Disseminating sustainable technologies using patent information – the Smart Grid example

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week Agenda  Role of Patents  Y04S tag: patent taxonomy for Smart Grids Statistics, ownership and trends  Findings

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week The basic principle of the patent system Benefit the public by making the detailed description of the invention available to everyone 18 months after filing Benefit the owner by preventing third parties from exploiting the invention for commercial purposes without authorisation Valid for max. 20 years Patents

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week A fair system driving knowledge transfer and innovation Technological innovation Patent application Disclosure to the public Find existing technology Learn from it Build on it

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week An incentive for economic growth  Gives patent holders time to recoup their development costs from the commercial exploitation of the invention  Prevents duplication of R&D in industry and universities  Makes the latest technological knowledge and trends available to the public  Inspires further innovation  Encourages business by helping identify new partners and allowing licensing

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week The role of the EPO in the European grant procedure  We provide patent protection in up to 40 European countries based on a single application in one of the three official languages (English, French, German)  The EPO makes all patent documents available to the public  We are committed to ease access to patent-related information, in particular in areas of social relevance.

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week EPO & Smart Grids  Energy-related technologies are indispensable for the challenges of climate change  The EPO committed to disseminate technological information  Ease access to sustainable emerging new area  Smart Grids contributing to climate change mitigation technologies

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world EPO & Smart Grids 4 th ITU Green Standards Week  What type of technologies exist in my area?  Who owns these technologies?  Where are these owners?  Legal situation?  Trends? PATENT INFORMATION ! If I were into Smart Grid, what would I like to know?

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week  Patent classification is like a ZIP code for technologies  60 million patent documents world- wide are indexed using patent classification!  International Patent Classification (IPC): codes  Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) for EPO+USPTO+… from 2013: codes The Road to Patent Information

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week Why not existing classification scheme?  scope of Smart Grids new and not univocal  scattered nature (e.g. power generation vs. ICT)  no fit with any existing coding system

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week The EPO approach Objective: Give all known patent documents relating to Smart Grids technologies a specified tag, and make them available in one accessible place: Y04S  no new definition  internal expertise  analysis of standards: IEEE-SA 2030 and IEC  external experts: cooperation with IEEE-SA 2030 WG

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week Y04S tagging 90 codes, divided over...

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week Y04S40 (example)

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week How is this information available from EPO?  Via Espacenet: free of charge good for searching somewhat less good for getting statistics  Via GPI (Global Patent Index): *subscription good for searching good for statistics  Via PATSTAT: online.htmlhttp:// online.html *subscription good for searching excellent for statistics periodic update free*, 24/7 availability tailored by a user available to everybody

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week Trends in Smart Grids patenting Y04S: Patent Applications worldwide, Patent families 5400 Patent Applications published in 2013

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week How the distribution between technologies look like?

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week Where do the Smart Grid applications originate? In 2013, China was the country from which most smart grid patents (world-wide) originated.

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week Who owns the Smart Grid technologies? In Europe there is a stronger concentration of Smart grid patents in large companies than in US. The top-3 applicants in Europe have larger share than the top-10 in the US.

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week How green are Smart Grid patents?  Y02 tag for climate change mitigation technologies:  Y02 Λ Y04S  about 2/3 entries in Y04S have a direct impact (e.g. operation of renewable energies) and are also coded under Y02B, Y02E or Y02T

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week  The European Patent Office has provided much easier access to Smart Grid patent information.  This information is available through use of the "Y04S"-codes in: Espacenet (free of charge) GPI or PATSTAT (subscription, more advanced)  Patenting Smart Grid technologies has soared, especially after Findings

International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week  SDOs (members) can profit from a ad-hoc patent search tool in a specific areas: patent mapping, technology trends  Policy-makers have an additional tool for assessing technology transfer in sensitive areas  Engineers, Scientists may use this knowledge in their work  Such information is also available for other "clean" technologies Findings (cont’d)
