Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 282 The Magical QDOS
Anna's judgment was very accurate, as expected, Brock did not hold back for three days.
To be exact, at about 2.2:[-] the next afternoon, Bullock, who had been waiting for a whole day without expecting a hot woman, called HT.On the third day, the full copyright transfer contract was signed with the company of a lawyer, but the final cost was only [-] US dollars.

"Jon! Let's take a look, can this thing be registered for a patent? When I bought it, the other party said that there is no software patent protection, only copyright, take a look"

After transferring the personal reward of [-] US dollars to Anna, Carter stood at the counter and invited Jon.At the same time, he handed the content of the contract that he had just faxed from Seattle to Jon.

"I thought that since I bought this software, I should also get the patent right. But they said that they didn't register the patent, they said it was a patent recognition in the computer software, and they couldn't do it. You can see if they are Fudge me."

"I'm not very clear about the legal matters, boss. But I seem to have heard that the current software is difficult, or almost impossible to apply for a patent, because the code is something that those old folks think are similar, thinking that you can write Yes, others can also write. And it is not a physical tool that can truly create real value and promote the progress of social productivity.”

Flipping through the code list that came with the fax and the temporarily edited operation manual, Jon suddenly let out a sigh:
"This is like cp/m! The operating habits and instructions are almost the same!"

"This is indeed designed based on cp/m's operation manual, but its designer told me that apart from the superficial resemblance, the internal logic, instructions, and codes are actually different. Is this legal risk?"

"Wait a minute, let me take a closer look and try again. Is it okay to give you an answer tomorrow?"

"No problem! Thank you for your hard work!"

It cannot be registered as a patent.
Carter feels a little regretful. Without patent protection, the income he can create with it may be much smaller if it is only copyright protection.
"Jenny, I'm back! Levin, why are you leaving get off work so early today?"

"It's a day off, I didn't go to work at all, hahaha! Come and have a rest, drink some water!"

Patting the sofa beside him, Levin laughed.He is very satisfied with his current life
"Carter! Your sister called and said that she will be back in two days to do something, so you should come back early! It's been half a year, and I don't even know my girl is outside."

"Don't worry! She's fine now! Didn't I meet her in Memphis half a month ago? At that time, Jinas, even her current boss praised her for her ability!"

After taking the water glass from Levin, Carter deeply felt the family status brought by money.

"At first, I didn't quite believe it. I wanted to test whether she was really as good as Jinas and the others said. It turned out that it was completely true! I wanted her to go to college first, but I couldn't persuade her. You will help me later. Advise it!"

"Really? You didn't lie to me, did you, Anna is really that powerful now?"

Jenny, who was wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with a face full of disbelief. After seeing Levin beside Carter, she seemed to think of something and said:
"Levin, have you told Carter about buying a house?"

"You bought a house?!"

"Aunt Jenny, don't"

Hearing this topic suddenly, Carter and Levine were both startled.In Carter's view, even if the police in the United States are paid well, housing prices are not high now, and Georgia is not the richest state per capita like New York, Massachusetts, or California.

Buying a house is not a big problem, and it is not as scary or out of reach as houses in China in the future.But, you fucking work all the time? !

The training ended in June, and now it will be October, and it has only been three months since it was fully booked.you.
"No, no, how can I afford a house now? I don't even have enough down payment! That's it."

After exclaiming, Levine blushed, watched Carter wave his hands again and again, and explained:

"I saw the house in the residential area on the outskirts of the city. Isn't DOG Real Estate a company under your name? I just want to ask you if you can build two more houses, and then sell it to me and Bradley later. Don't worry, the housing price will be as much as it should be at that time, we will not take advantage of it."

"What are you talking about, Carter?"

When Jenny heard Levin's slightly blunt words, she immediately pretended to be angry.then glared at carter
"I have no problem. Two houses are built in batches now, which is cheaper. Later, I will advance the money to buy them, and then you can return the money to me. I will charge you the cost price of [-]."

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Carter feels that his business is getting bigger and bigger in Douglas.Jenny is now more and more aggressive.
From the previous work problems of Likliss, to the current house problems of the two relatives, Levin and Bradley.I used to always feel that foreign relatives meddling in politics in film and television dramas are nonsense, but now it's my turn to face it.
That sense of powerlessness is getting stronger and stronger!

After all, they are all relatives in the final analysis, and from the current point of view, they have not made excessive demands.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Douglas's new housing construction is a one-off and on-demand construction.

There will be almost no redundant development. If you do not take the opportunity to raise demand, after the completion of the future residential area, the engineering team will withdraw to repair the expressway.If you want to buy such a good and cheap house, there is no hope.
Only after smelling this sign, Carter's idea of ​​fleeing Douglas became stronger and stronger.

Leaving Douglas is not short or long.It's less than a year, but during this time, life still needs to go on!
"Boss, confirmed! This software has nothing to do with cp/m, at least not in terms of core logic! It is the same instruction, the surface input may be the same, but the conversion function that converts our human language instructions into computer language, QDOS Totally different from cp/m!"

The next day, Jon, with dark circles under his eyes, approached Carter to report the test results.

"You mean, they are only superficially similar, but the core is completely different?"

"Correct!"

"Then can I roughly understand that these are actually two completely different products. They just wear the same clothes?"

If the core is different, it is determined that this is not a plagiarism, so there will not be much risk in the law.Even if it is sued by cp/m for infringement, the threat is not great.

And the superficial operation is similar to cp/m, and it can lower the threshold of its use, that is, it reduces the difficulty of promotion!
Combined with the judgment when buying QDOS, Carter became more and more convinced:
Found the treasure myself!

"Yes! They are different products. For example, there is a very famous chocolate sauce Nutella in Italy. Its name tells you that it is hazelnut paste, but its texture and taste are the same as chocolate sauce. It is similar to chocolate The relationship between sauce is like cp/m and QDOS, the taste is similar or even the same, but the inside is completely different!"
