Role of Intellectual Property Rights on Reduction of Climate Change

International intellectual property (IP) regimes play a critical role in climate change management and control. Meanwhile, both developed and developing countries share a high level of responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the negative effects of global warming. The main point of contention in international negotiations is the role and impact of IP, specifically patents, in the development and expansion of environmentally friendly technologies and the reduction of negative effects on global warming. In developed countries, IP encourages green innovations and is an effective prerequisite in the development and transfer of technology; however, in developing countries, IP and the monopolistic behavior of its owners is a huge impediment to receiving green technologies. In this regard, the study's main question was: "What is the position of international IP regimes that play a key role in climate change?” This descriptive-analytical study used a desk study and data from reputable online sources to compile its findings. The findings indicated that IP systems have the potential to provide positive results and demand for the public good due to increased influence at international regimes, which is the subject of ongoing and extensive diplomatic negotiations and cooperation in international meetings, as well as on a practical level in the context of private companies.
