the important of Intellectual Property, focus on Patent should meet 3 requirement, that are novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. The term of green intellectual property is different issue that related to environment regulation, so better you can explored to every country environment regulation.
The role of patents (and IP in general) in dissemination and use of certain technologies is always twofold - first, they promote innovation by protecting the investment by a monopoly on the invention, and second, they hinder the uptake of the new technologies by providing a monopoly to the patent holder (and thus increasing the price tag).
This holds for both green and "dirty" technologies.
Patenting and licensing policies in the "green" sector must always be finely tuned to provide the largest benefit to the society.
