The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 51 Copyright Infringement
The dinner at the Huo Mansion did not have much impact on Li Jianhui, and the Xiangjiang business community was relatively calm for a while, especially compared to Li Jianhui and his company.

In order to complete the game development as soon as possible, the Wang Haichuan project team worked very hard throughout March. They had to work overtime every night until ten o'clock in the evening, and they didn't even have weekends off.

Also driven by Wang Haichuan, the TV Game Affairs Department also worked overtime to promote the development and improvement of game platforms and game cards, striving to finalize them as soon as possible.

Li Jianhui has been quite relaxed during this period. He is in the company every day to learn about the progress of the game development and handle the company's affairs.

As for Xinyu Investment Company, he just checked the investment situation every day and did not interfere with the specific investment at all.

If it continues to develop peacefully like this, Li Jianhui will be happy to be at ease, but it's a pity that sometimes he doesn't want to find trouble, but things find him.

He originally thought that Taidong would give up the development of Space Invaders after his Little Bee went public, but he didn't expect that on April 4st, Taidong would launch this game.

You must know that the structure of this game is very similar to Little Bee, how could Li Jianhui be indifferent to this.

If Huihong Game Company does not take any action at this time, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be countless similar versions of the company's games on the market.

For this reason, Li Jianhui specially convened a high-level meeting and asked the public relations department to cooperate with the legal department to file an appeal to the RB Tokyo District Court to sue Taidong for its infringement.

In fact, Li Jianhui didn't care too much about the result, what he wanted was the process. Only in this way, those game companies would not dare to pirate the popular games of Huihong Game Company.

As the manager of the legal department, Liu Wenjie finally felt that he had a role to play. For more than half a year, the legal department has only dealt with trivial matters, and has not shown much ability at all.

This copyright lawsuit is an opportunity for their legal department to perform, and it is also a test for them. Whether they can take on major responsibilities in the future depends on how well they perform this time.

This time Zhou Jiayi will also go to RB, one is to do a good job in the market public relations of Huihong Game Company, and the other is to do a good job in public opinion propaganda, so that ordinary people can seduce and stand on the side of Huihong Game Company, and jointly condemn Taidong Company's shameless behavior.

Li Jianhui, who took the lead, felt quite at ease in his heart, and he didn't feel guilty at all for being a plagiarist.

Now instead of suing Taidong, not only do they want the other party to immediately stop the sales of Space Invaders, but they also demand that the other party pay a huge amount of infringement fees.

Those who knew about this in the previous life would definitely call Li Jianhui shameless and shameless.

But in this world, in this era, whenever Huihong Games held a press conference, it was sympathized by countless righteous people.

Huihong Games is on the victim's side, and Taidong has become a plagiarist. Even if Taidong insists that Space Invaders is their own idea and did not plagiarize any works, the public cannot believe it.

You must know that Huihong Game Company's Little Bee went on sale on New Year's Day, while Taidong Space Invaders only went on sale on April 4. If there is no plagiarism, no one will believe it.

In particular, the major newspapers in Hong Kong reported this matter extensively, and some newspapers even extended directly from Taidong Game Company to the RB government, questioning the RB government's disregard for copyright patents, and allowing plagiarists to launch their products on the market grandiosely.

Even the Xiangjiang government expressed its views on this matter, completely condemning companies that do not respect copyright from the standpoint of Huihong Games.

Li Jianhui’s taxes paid to Xiangjiang at the end of March were not in vain. By the end of last year, Li Jianhui Huihong Game Company had paid 543 million Hong Kong dollars in profits tax, contributing to Xiangjiang. At this time, the higher authorities naturally stood up to speak for him.

In this era, the RB government is expanding the market worldwide, and attaches great importance to its own image and copyright patents.

On the second day after Huihong Game Company submitted the appeal, the RB Tokyo District Court officially accepted the appeal and announced that it will be heard on Wednesday, that is, on the 6th.

In the meeting room of Taidong Company, the faces of the company's top executives were full of solemnity. They thought that Huihong Company was in Xiangjiang and had no strong sense of copyright. There are suspicions of piracy.

I didn't expect that the other party would come so quickly, and the public opinion offensive was quite fierce. Not only in Xiangjiang, but also in RB, the public opinion was also unfavorable for Taidong.

Some extremists even think that Taito has lost face to the Yamato nation and ask them to close Taito as an apology.

As the actual person in charge of the company, Taro Tagawa also felt uncomfortable. He knew that if Taito could not survive this time, he would become a lamb thrown out to apologize.

He calmed down his mood, and said calmly: "Everyone, don't be influenced by outside public opinion. Our Space Invaders game structure idea was taken out two years ago. When Huihong Games Company was not established, we The game structure already has a general framework.

We have not plagiarized anyone's ideas and works. You don't need to worry and blame yourself for this. I believe that all walks of life will treat us Taidong fairly. "

It's a pity that those present were not as optimistic as Taro Tagawa. They knew very well how much impact this time would have on Taito. Even if it was finally determined that Taito did not infringe, it would still be a stain on Taito.

In fact, after Little Bee went public, there was a debate within Taidong, and some people proposed to abandon this game and focus their funds and energy on new game development.

It's a pity that Space Invaders proposed and the R&D staff insisted on continuing to develop this game, and Taro Tagawa also supported it, so this game can be developed and sold on the market.

It's just that the RB company has a strict hierarchy, and the senior executives present did not stand up to refute Taro Tagawa. They only hope that Taito can survive this time.

In the past few days, because Zhou Jiayi and the public relations department have been operating behind the scenes, public opinion has continued to ferment, and more people have learned about the product of Little Bee.

Taidong's Space Invaders is also known to many people because of this public opinion, and even many media and game fans made a systematic comparison of the two games.

Even though Space Invaders was launched four months later than Little Bee, there is still a gap in terms of playability.

This makes the outside world believe that Taidong is copying the idea of ​​Huihong Game Company. If Taidong is original, it is impossible to launch it later and it will not be comparable to Huihong Game Company's products.

Li Jianhui, who didn't have much work in Xiangjiang, came to Tokyo in person on the 5th. As the first lawsuit in his industry, he wanted to witness it with his own eyes.

This is also an opportunity to accumulate experience. This is the first time for copyright and patent issues, but it will definitely not be the last. Litigation for decades.

Only if you are familiar with this aspect and have a strong legal department team under your banner, can you protect your own interests and your business can develop better.
