Patents in focus, even with EV cuts
Stellantis reaffirmed that it will maintain a high rate of patent filings, even in the face of significant adjustments to its electric vehicle portfolio as part of a strategic review.
According to Anne Laliron, head of innovation, CEO Antonio Filosa's support for creativity and the protection of innovations remains firm, signaling that the company is betting on intellectual property to maintain a long-term competitive advantage.
- France: 1,294 patents last year, representing approximately half of the global total.
Last month, Stellantis reported a €22.2 billion impairment related to reduced EV ambitions due to weaker demand.
This combination demonstrates a balance between cost control and continued investment in innovation, focusing on maintaining competitiveness in a rapidly transforming automotive sector.
