The Green Intellectual Property Project
The Green Intellectual Property (GIP) Project aims at greening our society through two activities;
* implementing the Green Intellectual Property (GIP) System, and
* promoting patent applications of green technologies.
Interesting approach. The GIP:The GIP System was first proposed in 2003 by Itaru Nitta, the founder of the GIP Project. Simply, the GIP System would divert a part of the patent-related monetary flow toward a trust fund, called the GIP Trust Fund. This Fund would provide subsidies and royalty assumptions for introducing and developing patent-protected green technologies. The green technologies encompass eco-friendly apparatuses, nursing-care for the elderly, welfare services for disabled people, organic agriculture, essential medicines, and all technologies advancing social welfare.
I'd still like to be shot of the whole caboodle, whatever colour it is.
