Innovation and Intellectual Property Management (IIPM) Laboratory

Very pleased to see another paper being published from our IPACST project (2018-2022).

Along the lines of our 2022 paper published in the Journal of Cleaner Production (JCP) titled "Intellectual property strategies for green innovations - An analysis of the European Inventor Awards", this one titled "Exploring the interplay between intellectual property models and sustainability transitions: A multi-level analysis" has now come out in Business, Strategy and the Environment (BSE). Well done to the IPACST team!
