The intention to make an unprecedented step was announced by the head of the Tesla Motors automobile company, which specializes in the production of unique electric vehicles.
Elon Musk said that he intends to open all the patents owned by the manufacturer. This applies to all patents. Tesla Motors. The goal is to further develop the world of electric vehicles, which today is too slow. Musk fears that his company could be ruined by a banal lack of competition. After all, the vast majority of cars produced today have internal combustion engines, the development of electric vehicles is too slow.
Such a move looks especially unique against the backdrop of many ongoing patent wars and the prosperity of the so-called. "patent trolls" who earn a lot of money precisely on the imperfection of copyright legislation. Many companies are in favor of reforming these laws, and indeed the entire system of patents. But so far only Tesla Motors has decided to take such radical steps.
