Abstract
Transfer of clean energy technologies to developing countries is essential for climate change mitigation; however, it does not happen rapidly enough. On the supply side, industrialised nations’ companies see insufficient IPR protection in developing countries as a barrier to technology transfer while on the demand side, developing countries consider IPR protection as a barrier for them to access the clean energy technologies. This paper examines the role of IPRs in the transfer of clean energy technologies through a case study of wind energy technologies. Legal solutions are explored to make the current IPR regime work for transfer of clean energy technologies in the UNFCCC as well as the WTO framework.
