A new research project, announced this week, will seek to bolster intellectual property (IP) and patent protection for European companies developing new solar cell technologies.
Unveiled on Monday by the Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics (CSP), the “IP Protection” project will research ways to provide “legally secure evidence of patent infringements” to European and German solar cell producers, with a view to sustaining technological advancements and “functioning competition on international markets.”
