Isle of Sark: Patent

Energy storage systems are evolving from emerging technology into critical infrastructure, bringing with them a surge in patent disputes that now define competitive dynamics across the sector.

Patent applicants are often surprised to learn that there is no single "world patent" or "international patent" that offers protection worldwide. Patents are territorial rights, so protecting an invention internationally involves using multiple filing systems and procedures, with all the associated costs. Fortunately, this is where the PCT system can assist.
