Tesla on the other-hand is executing on its patents so hard it doesn't even have time to try to protect them.
Perhaps their secret is _just doing stuff_, instead of, you know, _not_.
If thats the case, with my experience at San Francisco startups, there is a very real chance Zoox hasn't stolen the _valuable_ knowledge :P
- cma 8y agoTrade secrets are different than patents, you can use patents in open air and people can't take them, you have to publish the details to get the patent anyway (in theory). Trade secrets are lost if you exhibit them publicly.
