Abstract
Biomimicry has often been used in inventing new technologies starting from developing an aircraft and submarines. Climate change calls upon technocrats to innovate and invent new forms of technologies that produce zero waste and reduce depletion of natural resources. Is it possible to redraw the rules imposed by intellectual property law and laws governing technological innovations to imitate nature and create new dimensions in environmentally sound technologies or ESTs as they are known? In this study, we explore how legal mandates should be designed to enforce such compliance universally and make them available to all nations for the purpose of globalising uniformity across industrial sectors.
