TESLA RELEASES PATENTS
“TO THE WORLD”
IT IS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD
RATHER THAN BACKWARDS !
A READER STATED:
The oil cartel will not allow this. It will be a long time before we see this
(as long as this country still has some form of freedom which is being
depleted each and every day).

All Our Patent Are Belong To You
By Elon Musk, CEO
405 comments Yesterday, there was a wall of Tesla patents in the lobby of our
Palo Alto headquarters. That is no longer the case. They have
been removed, in the spirit of the open source movement, for
the advancement of electric vehicle technology.
Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of
sustainable transport. If we clear a path to the creation of
compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property
landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a
manner contrary to that goal. Tesla will not initiate patent
lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use
our technology.
When I started out with my first company, Zip2, I thought
patents were a good thing and worked hard to obtain them.
And maybe they were good long ago, but too often these
days they serve merely to stifle progress, entrench the
positions of giant corporations and enrich those in the
legal profession, rather than the actual inventors.
After Zip2, when I realized that receiving a patent really just
meant that you bought a lottery ticket to a lawsuit,
I avoided them whenever possible.
At Tesla, however, we felt compelled to create patents out
of concern that the big car companies would copy our
technology and then use their massive manufacturing, sales
and marketing power to overwhelm Tesla. We couldn’t have
been more wrong. The unfortunate reality is the opposite:
electric car programs (or programs for any vehicle that doesn’t
burn hydrocarbons) at the major manufacturers are small to
non-existent, constituting an average of far less than 1% of
their total vehicle sales.
At best, the large automakers are producing electric cars
with limited range in limited volume. Some produce no zero
emission cars at all.
Given that annual new vehicle production is approaching
100 million per year and the global fleet is approximately
2 billion cars, it is impossible for Tesla to build electric cars
fast enough to address the carbon crisis. By the same token,
it means the market is enormous. Our true competition is not
the small trickle of non-Tesla electric cars being produced,
but rather the enormous flood of gasoline cars pouring out
of the world’s factories every day.
We believe that Tesla, other companies making electric cars,
and the world would all benefit from a common, rapidly-evolving
technology platform.
Technology leadership is not defined by patents, 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.
We believe that applying the open source philosophy to our
patents will strengthen rather than diminish Tesla’s position
in this regard.
