According to the report, Geely will invest 50% in Horse, while Nissan will not.

Nissan's business is mainly in the United States, China and Japan, while Renault's is in Europe. There is no market conflict between the two parties, but Horse's business will be oriented to 130 countries, and it will mainly develop the US and Chinese markets.

Renault once expressed to Nissan that it hoped to use the group's joint patents in the product development of the new company, but in order to prevent competition with the new company and technology outflow, Nissan refused the new company's use of the group's joint patents on products provided to the United States and China , which can be used in places such as Europe and the Middle East, but requires Nissan's consent.

Nissan executives said Renault had agreed.

Renault did not comment on intellectual property issues and did not make a specific response.
