Patents for Humanity is the USPTO awards competition that recognizes innovators who use game-changing technologies to meet global humanitarian challenges. The program provides business incentives for reaching those in need: winners receive an acceleration certificate to expedite select proceedings at the USPTO, as well as public recognition of their work. The awards showcase how patent holders with vision are pioneering innovative ways to provide affordable, scalable, and sustainable solutions for the less fortunate.
This program is focused on green energy production technologies that are the subject of a U.S. utility patent or pending U.S. utility patent. All technologies addressing green energy—including wind, solar, green hydrogen, hydropower, geothermal, and biofuels technologies—may be the subject of an application to this program. The program is open to all types of patent holders, patent applicants, and licensees.
