Honda is the latest carmaker to settle with Paice, which has aggressively defended its hybrid patents that date back to 1994. Ford, Hyundai/Kia, Volkswagen and Toyota also are licensing Paice’s technology.
Paice, which was founded in 1992 by Alex Severinsky, has 30 international patents related to hybrid powertrains. The patents are co-owned by Abell Foundation Inc., a charitable foundation.
