Webinar: Patenting pest management solutions

Register for this 45 minute webinar on 26 March 2026 for advice on intellectual property protection in the pest management sector, presented by Charlotte Pugsley.

There has been substantial patent growth within the AgriTech industry over the past 20 years, as highlighted in a patent landscape report released by the World Intellectual Property Organisation.  More than two million AgriTech patent families have been published since 2004, with pest management emerging as the most active sub-domain for innovation.

Despite this, the potential for patenting within the pest management sector is often underestimated.  Many assume that innovation in this field is too incremental or too closely linked to natural processes to qualify for patent protection.  In reality, a broad range of pest management-related inventions can obtain strong and commercially valuable patent protection, from automated indoor farming systems to microorganism-based seed treatments.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how innovations in pest management can be protected through patents, what makes an invention in this space patentable, and why securing patent rights can provide a strategic advantage in such a fast-evolving and competitive industry.

This 45-minute webinar is ideal for professionals in R&D, sustainability, or IP management working within the AgriTech industry.
