In 20 14, Musk disclosed all Tesla's patents, and everyone suspected him ... Tesla has been showing all the latest achievements and technical details without reservation. Aren't they afraid of being copied? Musk believes that what really determines whether a company will be surpassed is the speed of its innovation, not the barriers set by competitors, so he opened all patents. Someone will surely ask, since you really started the patent, why do you still need to apply? Why not apply for a patent? Just because they don't apply for a patent doesn't mean that others won't use their technology to apply for a patent to engage them. Their patent application action is more defensive. For Ma Lao, if someone uses his technology to accelerate the transformation of the world to sustainable energy and benefit mankind, even if Tesla's technology surpasses Tesla, he thinks it is a good thing, that is, to do the right thing in the right way. This is the pattern.

Speaking of new energy vehicles, Tesla is the main force in the current market. The reason why Tesla can gain such a great advantage in the market also benefits from its focus on the research and development of electric vehicles and the advantages of early layout in the market.

For example, Tesla, the most important autonomous driving technology for new energy vehicles, is also the fastest growing brand. Nowadays, the development of new forces in car-making can be so rapid, and it is also inseparable from Tesla's open patented technology, and they are all patented technologies. This confuses many people. What is Musk doing for this?

Starting from 20 14, Tesla began to open all patented technologies. It's been eight years now, so what can Tesla do for us? Not afraid of being surpassed? Let's take a look at the mystery.

Tesla has 3,304 patents in the world, including 986 unique patents, and 2 147 of the 3,304 patents are valid, all of which are disclosed. For example, Samsung, BMW and Ethicon Llc all cited Tesla's patents.

Generally speaking, Tesla's patent portfolio is most cited for power generation, storage and battery technology, among which LG and Ford are its beneficiaries, and LG is the most widely used. However, Tesla is not an unconditionally open patent, and there are some harsh conditions.

For example, if you accept Tesla's free patent, you can't sue Tesla with any patent or intellectual property, not only patents, but also other intellectual property rights. Even if Tesla infringes your trademark and trade secrets, you can't sue. What do you think of this?
