    Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL) is proud to announce our commitment to the Open COVID Pledge and makes its patents available free of charge for use in efforts to end the COVID-19 pandemic and minimize the impact of the disease. We are pleased to join other companies around the globe in applying our technology to not only help track and contain the disease, but to also develop solutions that will promote safe and healthy environments for our society going forward.

    As a global manufacturer of equipment that touches our daily lives from automotive and transportation equipment to home appliances, elevators and air conditioning systems, Mitsubishi Electric is well positioned to deploy new technical innovations to realize a safer and healthier future. In this context, the researchers at MERL are motivated to develop innovative solutions that will benefit society by leveraging our core research expertise in the areas of simulation and modelling, optimization, control, signal processing and artificial intelligence.

    The terms and conditions of MERL’s COVID-19 patent license are effective immediately. We encourage other intellectual property holders to also commit to the pledge to ensure that there are no impediments to stopping this global pandemic. Our parent company Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has committed to a similar Japan-based IP Open Access Declaration Against COVID-19.
