Oil and gas technology
Patent protection can be highly beneficial in the oil and gas technology sector, protecting key inventions ranging from improved hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") technology to subsea coupling devices that connect undersea pipelines.
Companies in the oil and gas industry are increasingly dependent on high-tech solutions – ranging from digital oilfield management systems to artificial intelligence for seismic data interpretation – and the right patents can help to secure a competitive advantage.
Patents can also be licensed, supporting the industry-wide adoption of safer and more efficient technologies, such as patented safety valves or improved oil recovery processes.
