It's really trying to copy the SpaceX model isn't it?
When SpaceX started they got sticker shock when the companies with virtual monopolies quoted them what they charged NASA/DoD. For example for an actuator they were quoted over $120K - so they went away and built in-house to a higher standard for $3,700. They ended up building over 80% in-house at fractions of the going market prices (and use a lot if 3D printing etc).
Of interest SpaceX don't patent any of their in-house designs. According to Musk he sees patents as simply a way to provide China with the technology without them having to go to the bother of having to steal it....
