NORWALK, Ohio – To
spur innovation, Ford Motor Company joins with Tesla Motors to open up
patents for its electric vehicles.
Company CEO Bill Ford explains that the best way to provide the best
technology is through constant development and progress. By sharing their
research with other motor and technology companies, Ford can and will
accelerate the growth of electrified vehicle technology.
While Ford CEO is being heavily applauded for his decision,
for Tesla CEO the decision originally raised some eyebrows and doubts within
the company. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla
stated, "Technology leadership is not defined by patens, which history has
repeatedly shown to be small protection indeed against a determined competitor,
but rather by the ability of a company to attract and motivate the world's most
talented engineers." To spur
innovation, Ford Motor Company joins with Tesla in this idea of shared
technology.
By opening up their EV (electric vehicle) patents to the
public, Ford intends to put itself at the forefront of the electrified or
hybrid vehicle race and also to give the brand an edge over it's main
competitors, Fiat Chrysler and General Motors. Currently, Ford Motor Company has over 650 EV
patents and around 1,000 pending patent applications regarding electrification.
