Publication of the study "Patents and control of forest fires"The Spanish Patent and Trademark Office, O.A. (OEPM) and the National Institute of Industrial Property, I.P. (INPI) have prepared a study entitled "Patents and forest fire control", with the dual objective of providing technical information of interest to the forest fire control sector using the information provided by patents, and to highlight highlights the usefulness of patents as a source of technological information and as indicators of technological development. Patent examiners from the two Iberian offices have participated in the preparation of the study, as well as scientific-technical advisers from both countries, both from public bodies responsible for fire management in the Iberian Peninsula (the Agência para a Gestão Integrada de Fogos Rurais, I.P., the Collaborative Laboratory for Integrated Forest and Fog Management and the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge of Spain), as researchers and university professors of AINIA-CSIC and the Higher Technical School of Forestry, Forestry and of the Natural Environment of the Polytechnic University of Madrid. The study, published in Spanish, Portuguese and English, is based on the analysis of patents published in the world in the 2010-2021 period relating to four specific technological fields: fire detection and prevention, fire extinction, protective equipment and post-fire soil restoration. It also includes collaborations with innovative companies in the sector and other Iberian organizations responsible for the comprehensive management of forest fires. The study was presented in Lousã, at the Agência para a Gestão Integrada de Fogos Rurais, I.P de Portugal on May 17 and at the Spanish Government Delegation in Badajoz on May 18, and is a consequence of the fruitful collaboration between the two industrial property offices of the Iberian Peninsula. For this reason, the institutional presentation carried out in Portugal ended with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding that establishes the framework for collaboration between the two patent offices for the coming years. In addition, on May 25 this study was also presented at the OEPM headquarters, with the participation of some of the patent examiners and experts who have worked on its preparation. More information
