UNFCCC civic wiki

Option 1: Technology development, diffusion and transfer [shall] be promoted by operating the intellectual property regime in a balanced manner. Parties shall cooperate to develop and deploy patent sharing and/or intellectual property free renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. Financial support to buy down the full or partial cost of technologies for developing country Parties, taking into account the ability to pay, should be provided by financial mechanism under the Convention.

Option 2: Any international agreement on intellectual property [shall][should] not be interpreted or implemented in a manner that limits or prevents any Party from taking any measures to address adaptation or mitigation of climate change, in particular the development and transfer of, and access to technologies. Specific and urgent measures include:
(a) Creation of a Global Technology Pool for Climate Change;
(b) Use of the full flexibilities contained in the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement, including compulsory licensing;
(c) Differential pricing between developed and developing countries;
(d) Reviewing all existing relevant intellectual property rights regulations in order to provide certain information to remove the barriers and constraints affecting environmentally sound technologies;
(e) Promoting innovative intellectual property rights sharing arrangements for joint development of environmentally sound technologies;
(f) Limited/reduced time patents on climate friendly technologies.

Option 3: All necessary steps required to be immediately taken in all relevant forums to exclude patents and revoke existing patents in [developing countries] [LDCs][Countries vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change] on essential/urgent environmentally sound technologies to adapt to and mitigate climate change, including those developed through funding by governments or international agencies and genetic resources and biological resources that are used for adaptation and mitigation of climate change.

Option 4: The Executive Body on Technology (para. 32) should establish a committee or an advisory panel or designate some other body to proactively address patents and related intellectual property issues to ensure both increased innovation and increased access for both technologies mitigation and adaptation technologies.

Option 5: Consistent with their obligations under international treaties and agreements, Parties may compulsorily license specific technologies for the purpose of mitigation and adaptation to climate change, where it can be demonstrated that those patents and licenses act as a barrier to technology transfer and prevent the deployment or diffusion of that technology within a given country.
