Define the main legal tools of IP protection available for the field

"In the United States, energy-related matters qualify for a unique provision called a Petition to Make Special that expedites prosecution of the patent application by allowing it to jump the queue on the examiner’s docket." (pg 246) (Ward at all, 2008)

"wind and concentrating solar power technologies utilize turbines as the power generating mechanism, yet U.S. patent number 5,448,889, which is entitled to a priority date of 19 September 1988, has claims drawn very broadly to a method of producing power by supplying compressed air from solar heat to a turbine." (pg 246) (Ward at all, 2008)

The idea here would be to create a matrix that cross references the previous two questions. Several ways to visualize how the narratives either hit barriers based on protection or can be synergistic via open licensing approaches.
