Exxon Mobil's Low-Carbon Technology from Perspective of Patent Activities in Last Decade Zhao Xing, Zhang Yun-dong 2011, 30(3): 49-53.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2011.03.015 Abstract ( )   PDF (1412KB) ( )   In recent years, international oil companies (IOCs) have developed their strategies responding to climate change. Strengthening low-carbon technology innovation is the main strategy IOCs have announced. To better understand the dynamic development of low carbon technology of IOCs and provide reference for China's oil companies, this paper summarizes the actions responding to climate change Exxon Mobil has taken and analyzes its patent applications in the last decade. Comprehensive analysis reveals that R & D investment of Exxon Mobil in low-carbon domains is low, and some low-carbon technologies are acquired through cooperation with other companies in corresponding domains; Exxon Mobil lays more emphasis on patent protection in major markets worldwide; M & A is the main strategy of Exxon Mobil to get access to low-carbon resources and low-carbon technologies. Based on the analysis, the authors in this paper propose that China's oil companies search for M & A opportunities to obtain patented technologies in commercial domains, and ensure that the partners have enough patented technologies or technology strength by patent analysis when carrying out cooperation projects in the low-carbon energy field.
