Lysaght goes green

COP26 was hard to miss.  Twenty-five UN climate change conferences have preceded it, but this one felt a little different.  Perhaps it is due to the growing voice of the people and the pledges from multinational companies rather than the usual reliance on Government action.  Is cautious optimism replacing feelings of scepticism and apathy?  We certainly hope so.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything over the last eighteen months, it is that when there is a global movement towards a common goal, anything can be achieved.  There is a revived momentum and moral obligation to do more to help our planet, both individually and collectively. 

Here at Lysaght, it is no different, and we want to do our part.  Our Jersey office went paperless earlier this year, and we are currently auditing our energy usage in the workplace.

“Work Together To Deliver” was a key goal of COP26, and with that in mind, we are excited to launch our Green Patent Initiative.

Patents drive innovation, but applications often come at a high cost.  That is why we are reducing our professional fees by 20% for any applicant filing a patent to tackle climate change* until the end of 2022.  

With several of our clients joining forces as Principal Partners of COP26, we know climate change is high on their strategic agendas.  We want to encourage them and other applicants to invest in their research and share their technology with the world, whether in energy conservation, waste management or nuclear fusion reactors.

We want to help you, help the planet.  Get in touch today to find out more.
