Ford Makes Electrified Vehicle Technology Patents Available

Ford Makes Electrified Vehicle Technology Patents Available

JACKSON, Mich.– Last year alone Ford Motor Company registered over 400 electrified vehicle patents! This past week, in the spirit of generosity, Ford made its electrified vehicle technology patents available to competitors! Bad idea? Read on to learn more about Ford’s strategy behind this decision.

Ford is flexing its technological muscles in order to establish the future of the automotive industry! This year, Ford plans to hire 200 electrified vehicle engineers and move them into Ford Engineering Laboratories, facilities focused on electrified vehicle technology development. The ultimate goal in sharing these patents is to spread knowledge that can advance electrified vehicle manufacturing for the entire automotive industry!

While Ford has a knack for beating out its competition, it also has a passion for innovation! Ford made its electrified vehicle technology patents available to competitors because it understands the future of the auto industry depends on a collaborative effort between industry giants. Teamwork between Ford and its competitors will enable the auto industry to make unprecedented advancements in electrified vehicle technology.

With over 650 electrified vehicle patents and 1,000 patents pending, Ford is an industry leader! These patents carry loads of value, so naturally they aren’t free! Competitors can get a hold of Ford’s patents and published patent applications by contacting the automaker’s technology commercialization and licensing office, or through AutoHarvest (an automaker collaborative innovation and licensing marketplace).

It’s exciting to know that Ford is at the helm of electrified vehicle technology. The future of the automobile is sure to blow our minds, but even today’s New Ford Cars and New Ford Trucks available at our Albion Area Ford Dealership offer some of the industry’s most impressive technological advancements!
