Abstract:

This thesis argues that the patent system and patented technologies have a distinct agency in coastal systems and can be operationalized to advance adaptation and resilience efforts. It brings together discourse on coastal resilience and adaptation, the sociotechnical aspect of environmental innovation, histories of the patent system and legal theory, and case studies that reveal the agency of patents in large-scale complex environmental systems. It offers recommendations for strategic integration of patented technologies and the global patent system into the contemporary coastal resilience and adaptation toolkit. The research presented foregrounds the role of inventors, institutions, policy, funding, private research & development, and environmental planning practices operating within coastal zones. It highlights the contributions of these diverse actors to an expanded repertoire of coastal adaptation and resilience technologies. Central to the thesis is the theorization of an innovation model, posited in the conclusion, in which patents, and the patent system, help build adaptive capacities and resilience in coastal systems through integration of spatial planning and design praxis with the Y02A patent classification scheme. The Y02A classification scheme was created (c.2018) to track technologies for adaptation to climate change, including a broad range of technologies related to coastal process and development. Tracking innovation in this emergent sector through the Y02A classification scheme builds adaptive capacity and anticipatory frameworks for the management of sequential innovation in adaptation and resilience sectors, presenting the allied disciplines of environmental design, planning, and engineering, with the opportunity to integrate datasets and novel technologies into praxis, therefore spatializing innovation through real-world projects.
