South Korean media: "Unparalleled technical strength", BYD receives 20 patents per day on average!
On December 18, the South Korean media "Today's Digital" published an article stating that Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD has gained unparalleled technical strength in the electric vehicle and renewable energy markets, with an average of 20 patents granted per day.
Recently, the electric vehicle media CleanTechnica reported that BYD had applied for 48,000 patents in September, increasing to 51,466 in October, averaging 45 applications per day and 20 approvals. This is not merely legal protection but also highlights BYD's core strategy in market leadership.
BYD's patent strategy is based on vertical integration and self-manufacturing. It manages all processes from raw materials to battery manufacturing and整车 assembly, minimizing supply chain disruptions and reducing costs. This model grants BYD a technological advantage that competitors find difficult to replicate.
A typical example is the Blade Battery and e-platform 3.0. The Blade Battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology, maximizing safety and performance, with its patented design reducing the risk of thermal runaway and fires. The e-platform 3.0 uses a modular architecture, including an 8-in-1 electric power system, to improve efficiency and scalability.
BYD is adopting a strategy that both protects its own technology and licenses some technology to generate additional revenue.
