For a high- or over-current event such as a cell or group of cells shorting, e.g. runaway ludicrous mode. Although it doesn't seem logical that you would want to drop the HV and lose power for the thermal cooling system which would be needed to safe a runaway pack.
Maybe the patent was put up as collateral for some financial instrument.
Since the cell fuses should limit the shorting risk, and the LV pyro cuts the 12V in an accident, then maybe this is just a throw-away patent that could be securitized and/or sold. It is all high tech and stuff, but lacks a credible application--so sell it off to fund development elsewhere...
