Why Your Green Energy Patent Matters
California is at the forefront of the clean energy transition, which means the marketplace is both full of opportunity and intensely competitive. Whether you are developing next-generation solar harvesting equipment, a novel recycling process, or a clean-air device powered by renewable energy, protecting your invention with a patent is critical before you invest further in development, manufacturing, or marketing.
As an Orange County patent attorney since 2004 — and an engineer before that — I understand clean energy technology from the inside out, which means I can write patent claims that accurately capture what makes your invention unique and defensible.
Do you have a clean energy invention you’d like to patent? Or an existing patent in this field you need to defend or prosecute? Contact me, James Yang, for a consultation. I work with inventors throughout Orange County, Los Angeles County, and across California and the U.S.
I have helped inventors in the clean energy and sustainability space apply for and be granted patents on solar platforms, recycling systems, and more. Below are examples of granted and pending patents I have secured in this field.

The following are examples of clean energy and sustainability patents I have helped secure. Click any patent number to view the full record on Google Patents.
Granted: Patent No. US 8,361,260. A high-efficiency solar control system for automobiles and other vehicles, designed to reduce heat absorption and improve energy efficiency through solar management.
Granted: Patent No. US 9,676,917. An aqueous-based manufacturing process for deconstructing and recycling post-consumer carpet, including both residential and commercial broadloom. The water-based approach eliminates airborne particulate emissions while recovering higher quality and greater quantities of recyclable materials.
Granted: Patent No. US 11,999,266. A solar platform featuring a combination of fixed base solar panels and pivotable solar panels, engineered to maximize solar energy capture across varying sun angles throughout the day.
Granted: Patent No. US 12,316,272. A system of pillars and towers with mounted solar panels that makes use of vertical three-dimensional space above a given footprint, allowing significantly more solar panels to be deployed within a limited ground area.
Granted: Patent No. US 12,323,094. Solar panels and platforms with three-dimensional solar harvesting surfaces that take a volumetric approach to collecting energy — capturing sunlight from multiple angles simultaneously to increase total output.
Granted: Patent No. US 12,529,458. A method and apparatus for intelligently managing the energy consumption of a portable solar-powered lighting tower, with multiple operating modes that dynamically adjust power output based on conditions and demand.
Granted: Design Patent No. USD 1,003,254. An ornamental design for the user interface of a solar light tower control system, protecting the distinctive visual appearance of the control panel used to operate the portable solar lighting platform.
