Summary
In this episode of Climate Economics, Lucas and Luna explore how patents for green technology are turning into a measurable corporate asset class, with companies like Tesla, Samsung, and Siemens building portfolios valued in the billions. They discuss the rise of green patent indices, the role of the USPTO's Climate Change Mitigation Pilot Program, and how investors are using patent data to assess climate risk and innovation potential. The hosts break down the numbers: the number of green patents filed globally has grown from roughly 150,000 in 2015 to over 400,000 in 2025, with the average value of a granted green patent estimated at $250,000. They also touch on legal battles like Tesla vs. Nikola over hydrogen patents and the strategic use of patent pledges. This episode offers a concrete look at how intellectual property is becoming a key metric in climate finance. #GreenPatents #IntellectualProperty #ClimateFinance #Tesla #Samsung #Siemens #USPTO #PatentValue #Innovation #ClimateTech #AssetClass #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimateEconomics #PatentPledge #GreenTech #Investing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
