Chapter 84 Planning for Technical Barriers

Although it is a newly opened vest.

But I have to say that Lin Hui still has a great status in the AppStore.

Not long after the software was uploaded, it passed the official review.

Lin Hui picked up the 5s and found that the news summary software "Nanfeng" could already be found in the AppStore.

After the software was officially launched, it seemed that Lin Hui had nothing to do in a short time.

However, Lin Hui was still full of energy and had no sleepiness at all.

The current Lin Hui is a bit contradictory.

On the one hand, they are eager to be noticed by Internet giants about the value of Nanfeng APP;
On the other hand, I am a little worried that after the Internet tycoons notice this software, they will not talk about martial arts at all.

It is true that the software launched by Lin Hui has its unique value.

But in the face of technology applications, Internet giants do not have only one way to acquire.

There is never more to business than superficial suaveness.

It's also brutal and bloody behind the scenes.

Even though the algorithm used by Linhui software is advanced.

But no matter how advanced the technology is, it is empty without building technical barriers.

But how to build technical barriers?

Could it be that it is really necessary to write a few papers.

Anyway, according to Lin Hui's thinking, no matter how many programs a high school student writes, it may not touch the scales of others.

But suddenly you write a bunch of papers, and the doctor who is too old to graduate may jump out and find fault with you every minute.

It's not that Lin Hui is afraid of being picked on.

But as the saying goes, more is worse than less.

But having said that, is the only way to build professional barriers is papers?

Lin Hui had an idea and suddenly had an idea.

Although the path of short-term papers will not work.

But you can make a fuss about patents!

As a high school student, publishing a thesis can be a little shocking.

But the publication of patents may not necessarily cause any trouble.

After all, there are high and low thresholds for patents.

Some primary school students have patents.

After all, Lin Hui has graduated from high school.

It's not too much to apply for a patent, right?

The more Lin Hui thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible.

Not only is it possible, but it is imperative!

Why is it imperative?
If there is no patent, though you might invent something.

But someone with more resources and money might come along and reproduce your invention.

And use your invention to seize the market.

When you are about to sell your patent, you suddenly find that your competitors have already occupied the market.

Although you are an inventor at this time, you probably have nothing to do.

After all, barriers can be built not only technically, but also in the market.

And market barriers are more disgusting than technical barriers.

There is nothing to say about technical barriers.

Market barriers often cause bad money to drive out good money.

And that's not the worst.

In the worst case, the other party seizes the market, applies for a patent, and in turn accuses you of plagiarizing the technology.

It's not Lin Hui's malicious speculation!
Although it is a civilized society, this barbaric act of plundering is performed in dark corners all the time.

Although the chance of this happening is not 100%
But even if this happens, it may only be one in ten thousand.

Lin Hui didn't want to try either.

Who wants to be beaten by capital when they have nothing to do?

Although the threshold for patents is not high, it is not high.

But as long as it is a successful patent application.

The state can also protect the corresponding rights and interests of applicants!

A set of exclusive rights granted by the state to the patent holder for a limited period of time (usually 20 years) after applying for a patent.

Once a patent is granted in a certain country.

Without the permission of the patent holder, no one may manufacture, use, sell or import/export in the country a patent that has been granted in the country.

If a license is granted, the specific conditions are determined by the patentee.

may be free;

It may also be paid in return for royalties or a one-time fee.

Of course, although patents have many advantages, they also have limitations compared with papers.

The limitation of patents is that patents are territorial.

Chinese patents have a unique status only in China.

Not so in foreign countries.

In other words, when Lin Hui applied for a patent in China

If Lin Hui wants to obtain the same patent in other countries such as RB, the United States, and Asan, he must file applications in these countries separately.

In order to obtain a global patent, Lin Ash must obtain a corresponding patent in every country.

There are some regional bodies which are supranational and have the power to grant patents which then take effect in the member states.

For example, the famous PCT.

PCT is the abbreviation of Patent Cooperation Treaty (PATENT COOPERATION TREATY), which is an international treaty for cooperation in the field of patents.

It has international treaties with more than one hundred contracting parties.

With the PCT, applicants only need to file a single "international" patent application (rather than filing several separate national or regional patent applications).

You can apply for patent protection for your invention in a large number of countries at the same time.

Of course, the granting of patent rights is still the responsibility of the national or regional patent offices.

Such an organization will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble for those who are interested in applying for global patents.

But Lin Hui's situation is a bit special!

What Lin Hui needs to apply for is the patent corresponding to Nanfeng's software.

But different countries have different views on software patents.

Even countries that have also concluded the PCT have different criteria for judging software patents.

Issues related to software can only apply for software copyright in PCT.

However, the corresponding software patent cannot be applied for.

However, applying for software copyright is really useless.

This thing only protects the form of the software and not the inner nature of the software.

(ps: ...computer software patents are applied for in the form of technical solutions. After authorization, what is protected is the idea of ​​the software, and the adoption of the idea by others constitutes infringement
...The protection of software patents is much stronger than that of software copyrights, which can protect the core of software)
In other words, if Lin Hui wants to apply for software, there is no supranational organization that can provide him with any convenience.

If Lin Hui wants to apply, he can only follow the traditional path and apply country by country.

If there is a country that fails to apply, it is likely that the hard work will be in vain.

Sometimes, in order to avoid the constraints of patents, some capital giants even choose countries that you have almost never heard of in your life to engage in infringing business activities.

Lin Hui did not dare to underestimate the profit-seeking desire of capital.

Although it is troublesome to apply for each country, it is still necessary.

If the patent can be successfully obtained, Lin Hui will occupy the commanding heights of the law in terms of technology.

Although not completely invincible.

But it can also have a big advantage.

However, it is really troublesome to apply for each country.

Not troublesome, but very, very troublesome.

Think about the nearly two hundred countries recognized by the United Nations.

Apply two hundred times?
Lin Hui found it very laborious to click the mouse two hundred times.

Lin Hui understood why there were so many patent application companies in his previous life.

This job is really not for humans.

Lin Hui thought, maybe he should find some patent agency/application company to take charge of this matter.

　Ask for recommendations and collections.

　　It would be better if there is a reward (￣﹃￣)
