dc.description.abstractThe law is indispensable as an agent or instrument of both social control and change. Thus, it is common place to use the instrumentality of the law to effect social, political, economic, educational, socio-economic, and climatic changes. The Patent law performs part of this role by protecting human activities; it is designed for encouraging the development of advanced technologies. Its subject-matter is formed by new innovations, creativity, ideas, and inventions produced by man for man. The production of material wealth results from interactions between human beings within the society; the raw materials used in the process of production are derived from the environment. It is for this reason that nature and society must agree for any meaningful and sustainable programme to take place. Consequently, if nature is not protected, the future of the society will be in jeopardy. The patent system, in collaboration with other factors, can help in the assimilation and utilisation of ecological technologies; thus, beyond the orthodox ex-ante and post-ante analysis of the patent landscape, it is a veritable vehicle in the acquisition, adaptation, and advancement of environmental technologies in climate change.
