Ford will open patents for money
Ford, after Tesla Motors and Toyota, opens third-party patents in the field of electric cars and hybrids, but on a paid basis.
In June 2014, Ilon Musk, the founder of Tesla Motors , hinted to shareholders that the company would transfer corporate patents for public use. “Just yesterday, Tesla patents held a wall in the lobby of the headquarters in Palo Alto. No more. They were shot, in the spirit of the open source movement, to promote the technology of electric cars, ”writes Ilon Musk. The change of policy was associated with competition, or rather, with its absence, which, according to Mask, threatens Tesla Motors business.
In January 2015, Toyota uncovered 6,000 patents on the topic of hydrogen elements, power plants and the corresponding filling stations. Patents will be used by companies that produce cars on hydrogen, suppliers of components for transport and energy companies.
