The energy sector is growing and evolving quickly. As companies compete to provide energy for homes, businesses, transportation, and other industries, intellectual property in the energy sector takes on greater importance. As new products are developed and technologies are improved, innovators in the space must guard their proprietary products and processes. A patent attorney knowledgeable in the energy sector can help to protect your interests and prevent infringements.

The Importance of IP for Energy Companies

Energy production depends on developing the most efficient ways to harness resources. Intellectual property for energy companies can relate to many areas, including:

• Discovering and developing alternative energy sources
• Refining, separation, conversion, and treatment of energy products
• Geologic modeling — Creating precise computer models to identify mineral deposits, potential hazards, groundwater, and other geological data
• Storage
• Transportation of energy products

These and other processes conducted by energy companies are always advancing. When you create a new product or method, or improve an existing method, intellectual property rights must be protected.
