Open patent of Sla is not an accurate statement. To be precise, all patents are open. The essence of patent is publication in exchange for protection. For key technologies, enterprises will not apply for patent protection. Many car manufacturers will not use these patents directly, but use them to study ideas and routes, because the right to interpret "goodwill" belongs to Tesla.
Introduction to Tesla
Tesla's initial entrepreneurial team mainly came from Silicon Valley, and built cars with IT concepts, rather than the ideas of traditional automakers represented by Detroit. Therefore, Tesla's electric car is often seen as a story of a Silicon Valley kid against a Detroit giant.
201June 12, elon musk, CEO of Tesla, announced that he would share all Tesla's technology patents with his peers to promote the progress of electric vehicle technology. He published a blog titled "All our patents belong to you" on the company official website, saying that Tesla will open all its patents for the development of electric vehicle technology. Anyone who wants to use Tesla technology in good faith, Tesla will not initiate a patent infringement lawsuit against him.
