% See links @bottom, TMC also released its patents in 2015. IMO, TMC is
still messed-up about hating EVs. Its like a serious grudge against anyone
that sells EVs %

Almost 5 years after Elon Musk allowed other manufacturers access to Tesla
patents without fear of legal action – effectively making them open source –
Toyota has announced that it's opening up its vehicle electrification patent
archive to help speed up the development and adoption of electric vehicles.

Research and development of electric vehicles is costly and time consuming,
as startups ... know only too well. Toyota wants to help, announcing that it
will grant royalty-free licenses to other manufacturers for nearly 24,000
patents (including some pending applications) relating to vehicle
electrification technologies.


The focus of the electric vehicle technology being opened up by Toyota is
for hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell electrics rather
than battery EVs, and represents patents registered over more than 20 years
of research and development. That shapes up as nearly 2,600 electric motor
patents, 2,020 relating to power control units, 7,550 for system controls,
1,320 for engine transaxles, 2,200 for chargers, ... to the 5,680 already
available since 2015.

The company will also offer technical support to vehicle manufacturers that
make use of Toyota's motors, batteries, power control units, electronic
control units and more – for a fee.


"Based on the high volume of inquiries we receive about our vehicle
electrification systems from companies that recognize a need to popularize
hybrid and other electrified vehicle technologies, we believe that now is
the time for cooperation," said the firm's Shigeki Terashi. "If the number
of electrified vehicles accelerates significantly in the next 10 years, they
will become standard, and we hope to play a role in supporting that
process."

Applications for access to the royalty-free patents are open now, with the
doors remaining ajar until the end on 2030.
