The patents are a vital question
When it comes to the rescue of the German car maker Opel, stand for weeks and over again the patents of the group in focus. You could become a vital question. News.de explains the background.
The fact that the scheduled summit meeting of Opel now nothing concrete has been decided, has surprised few. That caused a report to the screen for even more sensation: The tabloid had written the patents Opels were pledged to the U.S. Treasury. It was not until the end of February it was reported that Opel no longer in possession of his own patents was.
Whether the six lines in the image on the pledges are true or not, an Opel spokesman did today at the request of news.de confirm nor deny. In the industry and in the media in any case the news has triggered a medium earthquake. Why? "The concept for the autonomy of Opel is" more complicated, says the industry expert Professor Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer. "Without patents, is nothing." He believes the message is credible, "I assume that GM has pledged the patents for the billions that they have received. It shows how dramatic the situation at GM. to pledge patents is an absolutely unusual step. "
Beyond these speculations, Opel wraps on the current situation of its patents in silence. But at least be sought clarification as regards the administrative structure of the inventor protection for the German carmaker. "The patents are in a GM-wide patent pool", an Opel spokesman. The aim was to inventions for all possible parts of a car, including engine technology, chassis development, aerodynamics, electronics. Therefore, the patent pool in the past have proven to be useful, "as could" supply the various GM brands in this way with new technology.
How useful it will be in the future remains to be seen - now that Opel wants to detach from his mother many years. Opel, the spokesman said, had now full access to its patents and wanted to keep them even with the planned reorganization of the Group. According to Dudenhoffer but this is now a political act, if the patents have been pledged really need to Germany and the U.S. will agree on their future, he says. This also means: GM and Opel would then only be extras in such agreement.
Give hope at least it believes Ferdinand Dudenhoffer: "I think such an agreement possible. Both the U.S. and Germany are interested in receiving the jobs of the car manufacturers. "However, it should help in the negotiations between Opel and the Federal Government a lot more speed needed, just more concrete results than in the summit meeting today, the sueddeutsche.de summed up aptly: "Come see - and know nothing."
