Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 115 Patent Issues
Zhao Ye relaxed in his heart, and a relaxed expression naturally appeared on his face.

Most people would not notice this expression, but there were many unusual people present.

For example, Director Yang, Han Ma, the Chinese tunic suit, and the chief executive sitting at the top.Even Commissioner Zhang felt a little bit at this time, he found the clue from the expression of the chief executive.

"Zhao Ye, please explain, what's going on here?" The head chief also teased Zhao Ye lightly.

"Okay, chief. That's it. These patents are indeed from the little devil's side. They stole my technology and registered the patents in advance. This kind of behavior is robbery. But this kind of behavior is subject to the laws of the Western world. With permission, we will be very passive.”

Zhao Ye made it clear that he was a spy first.Then he went on to say: "Actually, we have considered this situation from the very beginning, so we took precautions when we jointly provided samples to Hong Kong Island."

"What? You have thought of such a situation a long time ago? Then why didn't you report it?" Commissioner Zhang said hastily.

"Commissioner Zhang, let me explain this question to you." Before Zhao Ye could speak, President Lu of Capital University took the question from Commissioner Zhang.

"In fact, our school has also had similar considerations, but we are currently facing two difficulties in applying for patents from Western countries. As I said before, first, we are not a signatory to the Patent Convention. Second, The cost of patent application and maintenance is still very high.”

"Then how much is the cost?" the Chief Chief asked.

"Let me answer this question." The person in charge of the economic department at the meeting said: "We have learned about this question recently. According to the calculation of similar patents in Western countries, if we want patents to be effective, then at least [-] countries must Apply for registration and maintenance separately with the region. The cost of a patent in each country is about tens of dollars per year. According to an estimate of [-] dollars, the cost of a patent is almost [-] dollars. And this amount is not constant Yes, generally after another two or three years of registration, the rate will increase by [-] to [-]% every year until the validity period is reached. If the payment is stopped in the middle, then the patent will no longer be protected.”

After a few words, he meditated on what a big guy said.A patent application costs [-] US dollars, so what about these [-] items?That's almost $[-].

Although the country is still relatively poor at this time, everyone here still feels that it can bear it.

After all, it is worthwhile to spend this little money on a trade that can keep hundreds of millions of dollars.

The big leader thought for a while, and suddenly felt that the meeting was a bit taken astray.The most important thing at the moment is to confirm that the trade on your side cannot be affected by this incident.

So he asked Zhao Ye again: "Comrade Zhao Ye, you said you took precautions, how did you prevent them?"

"Okay, in fact, the prototype we provided, except for the same appearance, the internal structure and trial technology are completely different from what we are going to produce. Simply put, the prototype is another model." Zhao Ye said After finishing, his eyes scanned the audience, and everyone had a look of hell.

I have heard that this kid is excellent, but you are too excellent!A school of experts and scholars is still studying the calculator you made, but luckily you have already made another variety with brand-new technology.

Do you want to be so showy, you!

"Yezi, when did you do it? Why didn't I know?" The most shocked was the director of the factory, Yang, who was the leader of the joint factory. How did Zhao Ye play tricks under his nose?I didn't notice it at all!

"Ugh! Factory manager, I didn't report this matter to you beforehand, so please criticize me!" Zhao Ye pretended to admit his mistake.

"You!" Factory Manager Yang choked on Zhao Ye's bachelor behavior, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"That's enough, that's enough, I know you've done meritorious service, so don't act here." Seeing Zhao Ye's performance, the chief executive at the top also smiled slightly, saying this, it was considered as "passing" Zhao Ye.

"However, this incident has sounded a wake-up call for us. Comrades, if we want to do business internationally, we must understand the necessary trade rules and laws. Look at this time, we will I almost suffered a big loss. Relevant departments should take warning and organize capable forces as soon as possible to learn these things, research these things, and use these things. Ensure that our national interests will not be damaged, and we will not be caught by those who are ambitious. steal."

The words of the chief directly promoted the progress of our country in the field of foreign trade, at least in the field of patents.In fact, it’s not our fault that we don’t understand, we have never encountered such a situation before.

But this time, it was still such a "scary" situation.So naturally, the higher-ups must fill this loophole to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

"Yes, we must take care of this matter seriously." The person in charge of the relevant department assured.

"Well, well, Comrade Zhao Ye has done a lot of good work for this matter to be resolved in this way. After you go back, let your factory manager give you an award. Hahaha." The chief felt relieved all of a sudden. Also in the mood to make fun of Zhao Ye.

Principal Lu raised a question at this time: "Comrade Chief, we have solved this problem at present, but if our product is officially delivered to users, what if they give us such a hand again? We still have to take precautions in advance. Okay."

"Well! This question is also very important. Our position was stolen once, so we must not be stolen a second time. I suggest that we find a way as soon as possible to register my technology as a patent. Since we want to do it with the other party For business, there must be corresponding means." The chief instructed.

"But how do we register this patent?" Someone asked, after all, our country is not a signatory country, and people probably won't accept our country's application, right?
"Well, this is a problem. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Chief, I have an idea." Zhao Ye was the first to apply for a speech this time without waiting for everyone to speak.

"Oh? Let's talk about it!" The chief said to Zhao Ye with great interest.This little guy gave him too many surprises today.

"Chief, this is what I think. Since they may not approve our country's application, let's find a way that they can approve. For example, if one of our comrades goes to Hong Kong Island to register a company, then this At the legal level, this company is protected by the Hong Kong Island government. It is also recognized by the British government. Then, we signed an agreement with this comrade to let him fully represent our patents. At the same time, we stipulate that we only recognize the agent The agency status of the person is not the company. The agent himself uses his identity as the sole owner of the company to let the company manage its own agency affairs. Once the owner of the company changes, the company does not have our patents. The entrustment agreement. This will ensure that our interests will not be endangered by outside influence. Because these patents do not belong to this company, but only to the entrusted person we selected. And the entrusted party has no patent ownership. His rights come from our authorization. This guarantees the security of our patents in all aspects. At the same time, it avoids the risk of rectification from the West. After all, we have not dealt with them directly."

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, the entire venue fell into a long silence.Everyone is seriously considering the feasibility of this plan.Not to mention, Zhao Ye is quite thoughtful.

But this is a big deal, not something that can be decided at this meeting.For such a proposal, no matter from the economic aspect, the legal aspect or the political aspect, the superiors must consider it comprehensively.The level of this meeting is not enough.

The chief asked people to make detailed minutes of the meeting, especially the plan that Zhao Ye mentioned, and Zhao Ye had to personally confirm one side, and then asked all parties to sign, and then prepared to adjourn the meeting.

Suddenly, the chief asked Zhao Ye as if thinking of something: "Comrade Zhao Ye, if we register patents, how many patents do we need to register?" But this issue was not discussed before, because the other party came up with [-] patents. , Everyone instinctively feels that we are like this.At this time, the chief remembered that Zhao Ye, the direct inventor, had not been asked this question yet.

"Oh, Chief, I didn't think about this carefully before, but so far, I have summed up about 132 patented technologies that can be applied for!" Zhao Ye replied honestly. Originally, he didn't want to talk about it today. Everyone It's best not to ask, and it's not too late to talk about it when everything is settled.After all, it costs a fortune.He was afraid that if he said it now, the leaders who were used to living a hard life would not be willing to spend this money.

"How much!" The Chief's voice changed.This was beyond his imagination.

"At least 132 items. I'll dig it up when I go back. I think I can make up 150 items." Zhao Ye said deliberately.

"Why so much?" The chief really felt that it was a bit too much, not that it was bad to have too much, but it was too much money, and he felt a little distressed.

"Chief, of course, the more the better. You think, if the little devil steals our position with fourteen items, if we don't do more, how will we fight the enemy in the future?" Zhao Ye said in the easiest way for the chief to understand way explained.

"Oh? You say that, it seems to be a bit reasonable. It shouldn't hurt to adjust the guy in your hand a little more!"

"That's right, chief, is there a war? How can anyone dislike having too many bullets?" Zhao Ye immediately added to strengthen the chief's cognition.

Zhao Ye understood that the phobia of our army's lack of firepower has lasted for a long time.There is no better metaphor to use this, especially when the opponent is an old soldier.
