Chapter 279 Infringement Litigation

The food, daily necessities, and subsequent maternal and infant products that Aiying Group used to be its main business actually had very low thresholds.

Take the snack industry as an example. If Wu Zhou makes a hit product, competitors can look for the product information on Wu Zhou's packaging to find the foundry and then the country of origin.

So generally speaking, as long as you are willing to spend the cost, you can make products similar to Aiying Group.

Later, the differentiation made by Aiying Group was to select the best products.

From the same place of origin, competitors monopolize purchases and sales, and they sell all products directly.

On Wu Zhou's side, the company's machinery is newly designed, and then this "unquantifiable" agricultural product is quantified to the maximum extent, and the "yield rate" of the products on sale is continuously improved. To put it simply, for snacks, the general probability of bad results in the industry is 1%, so Aiying Group will try its best to achieve 0.5% or 0.1%

Continuously improve consumers' experience in the form of scientific and technological progress.

The second thing is to select the best from the best and find the real 'good raw materials'. Look for them at home and abroad. If you can't find them, cooperate with various agricultural colleges and universities to train better seeds. However, this cycle is relatively long, but for now, Aiying Group already has its own food raw material base.

Finally, there is the packaging material, which is the best solution. Of course, the single cost is also relatively high, because the cost can be evenly spread to the sales volume. Considering the sales volume of the products of the Ai Aiying Group, the research and development costs of packaging materials are almost negligible. , but it’s great value for money.

The R&D department of the head office continues to research and develop to find new, more environmentally friendly, better-looking and higher-touch packaging.

Although the inner part is important, the Buddha depends on the gold and the person depends on the clothes. The importance of image packaging is self-evident.

As for masks, the 'large sales volume'.

Although it sold very well from beginning to end,

Although it is very profitable.

But Wu Zhou's main purpose is to directly imprint the "good reputation" of Aiying Group on all "consumers" through this product.

Because people will 'love the house and the bird'.

Therefore, Aiying Group has made great efforts in the quality of masks.

Whether it's the 'anti-viral' properties of the material of the product itself, the 'breathability' of wearing it for a long time, the feel of it directly against the skin, or the tension of the elastic band

In this year, the product has undergone at least 6 minor changes.

Every new solution that is determined is determined through double-blind evaluation feedback after testing in the company's laboratory and free use by tens of thousands of family members of company employees and hundreds of thousands of Aiying Group's high-quality customers.

Of course, every time the change is successful, there is also Wu Zhou's "assist". Wu Zhou is the final decision-maker for every change in this product plan.

The result of this is that many high-end players on the market are already trying their best to think of various ways to imitate or even completely copy the mask design of Aiying Group.

But in the end, after the product was launched, it was still 'backward'.

Because they simply could not imagine how the Aiying Group's research and development speed and product update speed could be maintained so fast.

For example, their company's products may only change once every few years.

Besides, with such a large amount of sales, how dare Aiying Company.

The design of this product changes every time, so frequently, if something unexpected happens, the Aiying Group's masks may become useless in an instant.

But the result is that they waited and waited, and when the day lilies were cold, they still couldn't find the new design loophole of Aiying Group.

But every design is an improvement on the previous one.

As a user, this is a very happy thing. But as an opponent, this is disappointing.

In the important hospital market of OMI, the supply of masks has always been provided by 3M, Honeywell and the like.

But in 2020, their market shrank sharply in the second half of the year. Although they made money in the final calculation for the whole year, the reason for making money was only because of the huge market demand and the increase in product prices. However, medical masks used in hospitals, surgical masks, etc. Orders for masks and so on are getting less and less.

After the Aiying Group’s masks were banned this time, many hospitals’ orders came back. However, within a week, various feedback began to come out, saying that their doctors felt that the masks were far inferior to the Aiying Group’s masks. I hope they think of ways to make truly high-quality masks.

Wu Zhou is not worried about the company's export of masks. Even within the company, he is very worried about the sudden loss of this part of the business.

The main reason is that in 2020, the excess profits earned after supplying unlimited supplies of Omi masks are really too tempting.

In the eyes of the outside world, Wu Zhou was in dire straits during this period, with bad things happening one after another.

First, the company's flagship product was banned in overseas markets.

Then to its booming technology company

And recently.

Wu Zhou also received a lawyer's letter from the United States.

It says that a technology company named Alpha accuses Wu Zhou’s Aiying Technology Company of infringing their intellectual property rights, requiring them to immediately stop selling and using the allegedly infringing Eimeng AI-related products, and to compensate their company for their losses. and a punitive damages award.

Then the lawyer's letter also attached a detailed list of evidence, showing that Wuzhou Company's Huimeng AI product contains a large amount of source code that is the same as or similar to Alpha's AI product, as well as plagiarism of some patented technologies.

After that, the whole network was once again covered by overwhelming news media reports.

In fact, Wu Zhou really didn’t want to deal with this issue. Maybe Wu Zhou didn’t know whether there was plagiarism or not?

Those cooperative institutions in the United States are just to make their dream AI appear reasonable.

Moreover, this time the accusation is about "source code plagiarism". If you really respond to the lawsuit later, do you have to show the source code to the other party and compare it?

There is nothing unexpected about this Alpha company. Some of the capital behind it deliberately found out. The purpose is naturally self-evident.

However, it is also unwise to ignore this Alpha company at all. Let alone whether it will directly lose the Omega market, it may even affect the Chinese market. Moreover, if he does not defend himself well and win the lawsuit, Wu Zhou will You may also face high liability for compensation here.

I really want to be sued for infringement by such a rogue company.

In other words, Wu Zhou has no physical company in the United States. Otherwise, if the guarantee is not complete, the investigation bureau there should intervene in the investigation.

At that time, all the company’s information will be taken away. Haha

Wu Zhou had little experience in this matter, so Wu Zhou contacted Ju Chang, who had experience in this area.

"I took a look at the public information, and this should be the person who came out. I have helped you contact the top lawyer in the field of intellectual property over there. He will fly to China later to have a good chat with you. , not a big problem.”

Then on the third day, a group of foreigners wearing suits and leather shoes arrived at the Aiying Company headquarters in Yuncheng.

The efficiency is still very fast.

"I'll leave the legal matters to you. Our company's Eimeng AI definitely does not have any infringement. I am absolutely confident in this."

"But I don't want to be this company today and that company tomorrow. So, I want you to help me send a lawyer's letter and an open letter to this company."

After Wu Zhou met, he got straight to the point.
