Ecovative Patents and Open Source Initiative

Intellectual Property Portfolio:

Open Patent Program: Open Mycelium Composites

Technical Benefits for Participants:

Fostering Open Innovation:

"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." - Elon Musk
