Project Ultimate Goal
“To perform analysis with the goal of educating potential
investors about patent trends within various energy types;
namely renewable and non-renewable energy.”
Diana Anderson
Research Objectives Investigate patent filing trends in energy resources
from 2000 to 2007
Identify companies filing the most patents in energy resources
Identify the types of energy resources that have the greatest number of related patents being filed
Compare patent trends in renewable and non-renewable energy
Raise public awareness about investing in the renewable energy and energy efficiency industries
