(12PressRelease.com) As a dramatic indicator of groundbreaking research nearing completion, Water Solutions Inc. will be filing a record 27 patent applications next month according to GHF Group‘s research arm.
The industry typically sees about 14 patents each quarter from a wide range of manufacturer and R&D companies. There has been a sharp increase in applications in other new technology sectors as well. Fuel cell technology was also impressive with 43 patents — a jump from 28 in the second quarter of last year. Solar also saw a rise with 72 patents, up from 51; and the biofuel industry produced 23 patents, up from 13. The numbers demonstrate a strong comeback from stagnant numbers in recent years.
The only major division not to enjoy an improvement was wind power, which saw reduced applications by 12%. Tidal energy also saw a slight decrease, but that technology is still in its infancy. Scientists and investors alike need to become more convinced of it‘s benefits before that sector starts to move.
The report from the New Technology Patent Growth Institute could help the sector attain more momentum among investors. They recently noted a sharp uptick in new tech investing for the first quarter of 2011 after a dismal two years. Potential backers like to see simple and effective approaches to global problems such as cleaner fuel, healthier crops and more accessible clean water.
