All Our Patent Are Belong To You 

By Elon Musk, CEO 

Yesterday, there was a wall of Tesla patents in the lobby of our Palo Alto headquarters. That is no longer the case. They have been removed, in the spirit of the open source movement, for the advancement of electric vehicle technology. 

Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal. Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology. 

When I started out with my first company, Zip2, I thought patents were a good thing and worked hard to obtain them. And maybe they were good long ago, but too often these days they serve merely to stifle progress, entrench the positions of giant corporations and enrich those in the legal profession, rather than the actual inventors. After Zip2, when I realized that receiving a patent really just meant that you bought a lottery ticket to a lawsuit, I avoided them whenever possible. 

At Tesla, however, we felt compelled to create patents out of concern that the big car companies would copy our technology and then use their massive manufacturing, sales and marketing power to overwhelm Tesla. We couldn’t have been more wrong. The unfortunate reality is the opposite: electric car programs (or programs for any vehicle that doesn’t burn hydrocarbons) at the major manufacturers are small to non-existent, constituting an average of far less than 1% of their total vehicle sales. 

At best, the large automakers are producing electric cars with limited range in limited volume. Some produce no zero emission cars at all. 

Given that annual new vehicle production is approaching 100 million per year and the global fleet is approximately 2 billion cars, it is impossible for Tesla to build electric cars fast enough to address the carbon crisis. By the same token, it means the market is enormous. Our true competition is not the small trickle of non-Tesla electric cars being produced, but rather the enormous flood of gasoline cars pouring out of the world’s factories every day. 

We believe that Tesla, other companies making electric cars, and the world would all benefit from a common, rapidly-evolving technology platform. 

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."

  We have discussed Lithium Technology applications for Electric Cars in depth at this blog. Tesla Gigafactory plan provides the critical mass volume potential for the advance of Lithium Battery Technology to power Electric Cars and Energy Storage applications for Solar and Wind power. Elon Musk has explained on "60 minutes" that Gigafactory will produce Lithium Batteries for 400 miles range for Tesla Models S and X and 200 miles range for Tesla Model E with $35k price tag!

  Today we would like to explore one more application for Lithium Batteries: to power the autonomous robotics systems. For those who would like to understand why Lithium and dig into the Lithium-ion Battery chemistry and other properties the link below will be the every good starting point.

Lithium-Ion Batteries Carnegie Melon The Robotics Institute.

 Robotics is getting more and more attention these days and it is important to study the very crucial element which make Robots autonomous - The Power Energy Systems. Lithium Technology has become the industry choice here as well as in Electric Car industry. Robots are advancing very fast now and they have the very distinctive military application among many others. 

  The security of supply of all strategic materials for mass production of Robots will be the very important element not only in a pure economical sense, but also in its core military meaning. Now we can put all the ongoing Financial Wars and Chinese state-level plans for the Lithium Industry into another perspective.

  We have a very interesting market activity in our Lithium top pick today. This group is fighting its demons all the time. TNR Gold was punished in the market quite a few times already, but with International Lithium this Flash Crash has happened for the first time.

"CS. Naked Short Selling or just market manipulations?

  We have almost missed this one - we were busy on Friday. When we checked our screen with TNR Gold trading below 0.16CAD at one point, we thought it is a Flash Crash in the markets again." But markets were...fine, DOW was strongly Up, US Dollar down and Gold was holding at new high. Situation became even more interesting when we have checked the tape:" 

  Somebody managed to pick up a very few cheap shares and somebody has checked out the authorities' take on it. Company is not sleeping and IIROC was on top of things straight from the opening - they must be monitoring the company after TNR Gold's "hedge funds" games with automatic trading. Canada is famous, unfortunately, for the naked short trading in juniors and other really nasty things, when narrowly traded juniors can be easily manipulated in the market place. But this company is different and has already recovered, we do not think that it is connected somehow to the TNR Gold litigation case on Los Azules - it must be just really a "fat finger" trade again.
  Another very interesting observation about this group is that insiders in both companies continue to buy the shares with every opportunity in TNR Gold and International Lithium as well.

"TNR Gold Corporate Update Post Lithium Spinoff and Litigation Update On Los Azules case. Very interesting part is the link to the new Los Azules page on TNR Gold website, now we can see the recent Judgement and Application from TNR Gold for the new claim on Los Azules. Recent sell off in the company share price looks like another punishment - we have seen it a few times already during the last year. Will be interesting to see who is buying. This tree will not be shaken, these people know what they are doing and the magnitude of recent litigation is matched very well by the profile of the people involved in it."

International Lithium Corp. Market Unduly Affected by Trade Input Error

July 4, 2011 - 02:39:49 PM

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 4, 2011) - International Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ILC)(TSX VENTURE:ILC.WT) (the "Company") announces that due to a trade input error, an action completely unconnected to the Company and independent of the Company's business, there was an undue impact on the Company's market price.

At the market open this morning, July 04, 2011, 50,000 shares of the Company were erroneously sold 'At Market' (the "Trade") which materially decreased the share price of the Company. The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada ("IIROC"), the national self-regulatory organization which oversees all investment dealers and trading activity on debt and equity marketplaces in Canada, made a ruling for the purpose of market integrity to allow the Trade to stand and assigned a $0.14 market floor for the Trade share price.

"The erroneous trading activity and resulting fluctuation in our share price that occurred this morning is absolutely unrelated to any aspect of our Company and is an unfortunate isolated event," states International Lithium Corp. President Mike Sieb. "There has been no material change to the Company or its projects and I maintain full confidence in our endeavours moving forward."

ABOUT INTERNATIONAL LITHIUM CORP.

International Lithium Corp. is an international rare element metals ("REM") mineral exploration company with an outstanding portfolio of projects, strong management ownership, robust financial support and a prominent lithium product manufacturer as a keystone investor.

ILC currently has 9 active REM projects, well balanced between lithium brines in Argentina and Nevada and hard-rock pegmatites in Canada and Ireland. The Company's primary focus is the Mariana lithium brine project, a salar or 'salt lake', covering an expansive 160 square kilometres and strategically encompassing the entire basin. Mariana is located in the renowned South American 'Lithium Belt' centred around the junction of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile that is host to the vast majority of global lithium resources, reserves and production. The Mariana lithium brine project ranks as one of the more prospective salars in the region.

Complementing the Company's lithium brine projects are the REM pegmatite properties. The key outstanding characteristics shared by these hard-rock REM projects are their underexplored nature, excellent accessibility, under-analyzed rare metals' history, significant potential that additional exploration will add project value and ultimate potential ability to develop the projects to meet the global technological growth in demand for the REM suite of elements.

International Lithium Corp.'s mandate is to increase shareholder value through aggressive advancement of its core projects and to source joint venture partners to expand the scope and diversify risk of its exploration effort.

On behalf of the Board,

Mike Sieb, President - International Lithium Corp.

  After recent Lithium products price increase by industry majors we are not surprised to find this bullish report on our Mega Trend sector. We will address the news about Rare Earths new found bounty on the Pacific ocean floor in another post, but will mention now that by this time our loyal readers should already be able to distinguish between Lithium, Rare Metals and Rare Earths.

  "Lithium Market: FMC Lithium Announces Global Price Increases. We have another one of Lithium Big Four announcing the global price increase for the lithium products. Now we can realize why all major industry insiders were searching and making deals in order to secure Lithium supply. Nobody would like be at the mercy of the Lithium OPEC when Electric Cars will go mainstream in the next five years time. Talking about OPEC - it took IEA to announce the release from Oil Strategic Reserves in order to bring Oil prices down. QE 3.0 has been started with this move - welcome into the Election Cycle. 

  Release was not very dramatic: 60 mln barrels - it is below one day world's oil consumption - but is very symbolic. All the talk about increasing Oil output can not bring the Oil prices down. We will take as a sign of the high Oil prices to stay. Before QE 3.0 will be unleashed to support the diving economy, Inflation fears must be knocked down and we had PPT operation in the Gold and Silver markets again yesterday. General markets were pumped up into the close from the dangerous waterfall zone on the technical side."

 Energy Storage as a part of Smart Grid systems will be a very important part in integration of Alternative sources of energy like Solar and Wind power.

 "Energy storage systems based on Lithium batteries will be another very important source of demand for Lithium. They will allow the integration of different sources of energy into the smart grid systems: like solar, wind and existing generation plants. With more and more EVs on the streets we can start to talk about Car to Grid technology as well, when smart grid can talk to the EVs and use the energy from the EV battery during peak hours when electric cars are parked at the office and charge the EV from Energy Storage facility at night. Energy storage can be charge during the day using solar and wind power among other sources of energy in this scheme."

"Electric Cars are coming on our streets and utility companies are getting ready to charge our future. All naysayers will be proven wrong in the end - we could only dream about the numbers of Electric Cars to be on the streets when they will put sizable constrain on the existing grid! This time will come and it will be matter of technological progress and investment into the smart grid to accommodate the new demand for electricity and flexible grid management. 

  It is a manageable task and presents an investment opportunity on its own. Who are the big players here - corporate "cream de la cream": GE, Google, Siemens, SAP, ABB and utilities companies world-wide amongst others. We are confident that they will manage to make electricity available for our Electric Cars in time.

   Electricity could be produced from the number of sources, some of them could be renewable and their share will increase dramatically in the years to come  - Oil comes from depleting source and can not sustain our Energy diet any more."

A123 supplies giant battery for 'hybrid power plant'
by Martin LaMonica

Lithium ion battery company A123 Systems today said that it will supply a 20-megawatt battery for grid storage in northern Chile, one of the larger projects to use batteries to fortify the grid.

AES Gener, a division of U.S.-based power generation company AES, will install 10 shipping container-size storage systems in northern Chile to work in conjunction with a new 500-megawatt power plant called Angamos.

The batteries will be used for "spinning reserves" to ensure grid reliability by filling gaps in power in that area, which needs a reliable supply of electricity for mining operations. The system is designed to supply its full power for 15 minutes.

The project follows a similar 12-megawatt battery installation AES did in Chile in 2009 with A123 Systems' products for frequency regulation. Rather than ramp up power production from natural gas plants to maintain a steady frequency, the grid draws on the batteries' storage for quick bursts of power.

Energy storage on the grid has been done for decades in the form of pumped hydro plants, but different types of storage, such as batteries and flywheels, are starting to take hold in the U.S. Batteries now are mainly used to improve reliability with short-term storage, but some projects are seeking longer-term storage coupled with wind and solar farms.

Lithium ion battery companies are targeting hybrid and electric vehicles, but grid storage is another important, if smaller, market. A123 Systems, which will supply batteries for Fisker's Karma plug-in hybrid, said it has sold 35 megawatts worth of grid storage."
