This chapter reflects on what a sustainable patent governance looks like in the age of the rise of inventive AI.

In particular, we consider SDG targets 9.1, 9.2, and 9.5 for their emphasis on equitabl...

Wind turbine development is growing exponentially and faster than other sources of renewable energy worldwide. While multi-turbine facilities have small physical footprint, they are not free from negative impacts on wildlife. This is particularly true for bats, whose population viability can be threatened by wind turbines through mortality events due to collisions. Wind turbine curtailment (hereafter referred to as “blanket curtailment”) in non-winter periods at low wind speeds and mild tempe...
