Summary
Patents on clean energy and climate technologies are surging, and companies like Tesla, Toyota, and Vestas are building formidable portfolios. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how green patents are no longer just defensive moats — they're being licensed, sold, and securitized. With the USPTO reporting a 42% jump in green patent filings since 2020, and the WIPO's latest data showing China accounting for 70% of all green patent grants in 2025, the hosts unpack what this means for competition, innovation, and investment. They also spotlight a recent deal where a university spin-off monetized its solid-state battery patents via a royalty-backed bond — a structure that could become a template for cleantech IP. Tune in for a sharp, data-driven look at the intersection of intellectual property and climate economics. #GreenPatents #ClimateTech #IntellectualProperty #IPMonetization #CleanEnergy #Tesla #Toyota #Vestas #USPTO #WIPO #SolidStateBattery #RoyaltyBackedBond #PatentLicensing #Innovation #CarbonEconomics #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
