CleanTech & Renewables

From battery technology and hydrogen to renewable energy generation and energy storage, clean technologies are transforming the way the world produces, stores and uses energy. As governments and industries transition towards a lower-carbon future, innovation is playing a critical role in addressing some of the world's most pressing environmental and energy challenges. FB Rice provides strategic intellectual property advice to help CleanTech & Renewables organisations secure, commercialise and maximise the value of their innovations.

Many clean energy and renewable innovations combine multiple technologies and scientific disciplines. Effective IP protection requires advisors who understand both the technology and the commercial landscape. Our team comprises highly experienced attorneys with technical backgrounds spanning electrical and computer engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering, materials science, biotechnology, industrial manufacturing, mechanical engineering and nanotechnology. This breadth of technical expertise enables us to form integrated teams to deliver commercially focused IP strategies grounded in a deep understanding of the underlying science and technology.

We partner with innovators across the CleanTech & Renewables ecosystem, including renewable energy developers, battery and energy storage companies, hydrogen technology businesses, grid and energy management providers, climate technology software companies, sustainable materials innovators, universities, emissions reduction technology developers and industrial process optimisation businesses. Whether you are an early-stage venture, established company or research organisation, we work proactively and collaboratively to support you throughout the entire IP lifecycle.
