Chapter 1 General description of the green technologies sector: legal framework. Subsection 1.1. "Green" technologies as a sphere of legal regulation: historical and legal foundations and peculiarities of emergence, where it was analysed of legislative acts, international conferences and multilateral environmental agreements, including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol, the UN Conference on Sustainable Development - "Rio+20: The Future of the World", «The Future We Want", which discussed the issues of clean, resource-efficient, green economy for sustainable development, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by 2030 and the Paris Agreement, the European Green Deal, and the New Circular Economy Action Plan, where licensing of intellectual property rights and technology transfer, especially to developing countries. In subsection 1.2. Genesis of the concept of "green" technologies and their classification, the concepts of "green" technologies and "green" innovations are proposed for the first time in the national legal space. The author characterizes the theoretical foundations of the concept, its legal essence through the prism of legal science. The classification of "green" technologies is formulated in detail. It is established that green innovations are the main driving force for green growth and development of a circular, resource-efficient economy. It is determined that the concept of "green" growth is a tool for achieving the SDG, where the main postulates of sustainable development are ecological balance, economic development and social justice between generations. It is noted that the basis for achieving the SDG, as well as for reusing resources and reducing the negative impact on the environment, is the development, implementation and dissemination of "green" technologies. In Subsection 1.3. Standardization in the field of "green" technologies emphasizes the importance of standardization, namely the harmonization of national with international standards, including certification and labeling of products in accordance with national standards. It is established that the standards set requirements for the smart city system, air and water quality, hazardous materials, green construction and green agriculture, and sustainable mobility, so their adoption affects the three stages of the green technology cycle: production, use and end-of-life of innovative products.
Chapter 2 Protection of Intellectual Property (IP) Rights in the Field of "Green" Technologies. Subsection 2.1. The Role of IP Rights in the Field of Green Technologies discusses the peculiarities of obtaining intellectual property rights protection for green technologies and the measures to be taken for the development, implementation and dissemination of green technologies. It is determined that IP legal protection regimes are regulatory mechanisms that promote technological innovation, where patent law is of particular importance. In subsection 2.2. The Role of Certification Marks in the Field of "Green" Technologies identifies the main approaches to the interpretation of the concept of a certification mark, considers its legal regulation in other countries and points out the need to create a special legal regime for certification marks in Ukraine, as well as to create a register of certification marks. Subsection 2.3. Peculiarities of the Programs of Accelerated Examination of Applications for Inventions and Utility Models in the Field of Green Technologies focuses on the global trends in the examination of accelerated patent applications in the field of green technologies, emphasizes the importance of creating favorable conditions for green innovations and the introduction of a program of accelerated examination of patent applications for green technologies in Ukraine.
Chapter 3. Intellectual Property Management in the Field of Green Technologies. Subsection 3.1. Models of exchange and strategies for IP management in the field of green technologies discusses the features of strategies for managing IP in the field of green technologies, analyzes existing models of exchange, technology transfer and disposal of IP rights to technology. It is noted that IP rights are an important policy tool for stimulating innovation, they provide economic incentives for the development of new technologies and promote the spread of innovation and regulate the relations that form the basis for concluding contracts on mutually beneficial terms. The legal basis for the use of compulsory licensing mechanisms for the field of "green" technologies is investigated. Subsection 3.2. IP Management in the Field of Green Technologies in Ukraine: Legal Support, the prerequisites for the formation of the National Green Growth Strategy until 2030, which will also contribute to the achievement of carbon neutrality, as well as the Policy on IP Management in the Field of Green Technologies related to the achievement of the SDG of Ukraine.
