Smart Industrial Empire
406 International Patent Applications Waste of Money
"I need to go back to the factory for a meeting to discuss this matter." Huang Qiaosong was very moved by Yun Fei's proposal.
However, Factory 132 is a second-tier national enterprise after all. As the factory manager, he is not like a private boss like Yun Fei who has absolute power over the company.
"By the way, the old man told you to drag Ye Xuanmei to the Rongcheng Tool Factory." When leaving, Huang Qiaosong said something to Yun Fei that made him puzzled.
Let Ye Xuanmei join Rongcheng Tool Factory?
Several possibilities quickly flashed in Yunfei's mind.He didn't know much about the affairs of the capital, nor did he know about the families in the capital.Especially for the older generation, he, who basically has no channels, really doesn't know.
Berlin, Germany.
The presidential suite on the top floor of the luxuriously decorated Maritim Hotel.
"What? Don't make excuses for me. If it's because of your work delay, I will definitely sue you at the International Court of Hague!" In the living room of the suite, she was wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam embroidered with bright peonies, and her feet were wearing a pair of thin skirts that were at least ten centimeters taller. Li Lu, who wore high heels, excitedly yelled at several European white men and women in front of her in German, which was more fluent than Chinese.
She has been in Germany for more than ten days, but the European Patent Office in Germany has not yet approved the more than 100 mobile phone patents she applied for. [
The lawyer team I found in Germany at first assured Li Lu confidently that they would help Li Lu apply for the patent in the shortest possible time, and now it is within the time limit stipulated in the contract.But she told Li Lu that she had to wait a few days.They can't be sure about the specific days.
When leaving China, Yunfei told Li Lu that these patents must be applied for in Europe and the United States. Whether mobile phone companies can rise rapidly depends on these patents.
For these more than 100 patents with a thick carton of technical information, Li Lu doesn't know what kind of benefits, many times.She thought Yun Fei was making too much of a fuss.
In particular, Yunfei even registered several patented technologies for the appearance design of the mobile phone, such as flip phones, skateboard phones, butterfly models... Li Lu felt that Yunfei didn't take money too seriously.Doesn't Yunfei know that he needs to pay for patent registration?
He knows.
In China, patents are generally not mentioned, and Chinese people have always liked imitation.From airplanes to electronic products such as watches.No manufacturer will pay patent fees to companies with patents.
Therefore, even though the CNC machine tools produced by Jiuyi Heavy Industry have many patented technologies, they have not applied for patents from the country, and many designs in the laboratory have not applied for patents from the National Patent Office.
It was randomly named "Wheat" by Yunfei.Moreover, the enlarged wheat on the logo was crawling with a worm that was several times bigger than the wheat. The mobile phone company had just obtained its business license, and Yunfei gave the shareholders of Beijing Sanjian and Li Lu Yelled together, and solemnly handed them each a large box of technical materials written in English and Chinese, and asked them to go to the United States and Europe to apply for patented technology.
Similarly, it has applied for patent protection in China.How much effect it can have, Yun Fei doesn't know.Although the country has long proposed to retaliate against intellectual property rights.Intellectual property rights construction has long been engaged in, but many state-owned factories, especially state-owned military factories, rely on imitation of foreign products to make a living, let alone Chinese folks.
The road to Wanyan's demise made Yunfei have to start applying for patented technology when the mobile phone company was not listed.
Especially in Europe and the United States, where intellectual property rights are the most important, it will be the largest market for mobile phone companies in the early stage, and Yunfei can't help but pay attention to it.Japan and South Korea, which also have strong purchasing power, also plan to register patents, but they will wait until the registration of patents in Europe and the United States is completed.
Li Lu, who used to be the general manager of Kmart, is very familiar with Germany. Over the years, she has been helping the country find equipment and equipment. She has spent a lot of time in Germany.The three young masters in the capital are simply three natives, and have never been abroad. In their perception, the United States is the largest country in the world. If they want to go abroad, they will definitely get the United States as the first stop. Three generations are active, so letting them go to the United States is a good fit.
Although China has a large amount of exports to Europe and the United States every year, the products exported are generally light industrial products and semi-finished products that only undergo rough processing or even no processing. Few Chinese go to Europe to register patents.
Li Lu originally thought that to register a patent, as long as the technical materials and objects in hand are handed over to any headquarters of the European Patent Office, they can be reviewed within minutes.
However, the facts let her know that the ideal of plumpness will always be raped by the reality of the backbone. [
"Miss Li, I'm sorry, the patent office officer in charge of product patent examination for communications went to Australia for vacation this week, so..." A man with glasses, short red hair, and a smart professional attire looked very smart. The middle-aged woman explained to the excited Li Lu.
If that official hadn't gone to Australia to watch the kangaroos now, how could they offend big customers?
Customers from mainland China are all fat sheep!
"Miss Anna, as I said, please don't explain to me. My boss often says that as long as the result is reached! Now, the time we agreed on has come, and you all promised me that you would be able to get me within the time stipulated in the contract. To the patent documents. Out of recognition of your team’s reputation and trust in your reputation, I called my boss last night and told him that I can get the patent certification documents today, but now you come to tell him I have to wait a few more days!" Li Lu was very angry.
Really angry.
This team is the best patent application and legal counsel team in Berlin.
In order to save trouble, she paid a labor fee of 30 US dollars, with an average labor fee of more than 2000 US dollars per patent!
Li Lu didn't know that Yunfei asked her to come to Europe to apply for these patents.Basically, they are plagiarized patents of some European and American companies in his world!
"Miss Li, I'm sorry. Things turned out like this. It's our fault. We will definitely pay compensation according to the breach of the contract. Please give us another week, and we will definitely complete your commission." Merck Hiller continued He bowed and apologized to the runaway oriental lioness.
They also did not expect that when the review was about to end, the officials in charge of the review would drop their jobs and go on vacation because the child wanted to go to Australia to see kangaroos, leaving them injured to face this runaway beauty Oriental women.
"Mr. Merkhiller. Compensation, that's for sure. If the patent information of our company's application is leaked before the patent is applied for, and someone else registers the patent first, who will compensate for the loss? No. If you say you pay, you don't understand the value of these patents at all, and you can't afford it!" Li Lu gradually calmed down.Or it was really an accident.
Now the world's largest mobile phone production companies are located in Europe. Companies such as Nokia in Finland and Ericsson in Sweden are all professional mobile device manufacturers.
Europe is big.
But Europe is also very small by modern means of transport.
If officials from the patent office secretly provide these patented technical materials brought by them to these companies that account for more than half of mobile communication equipment for personal gain, the wheat mobile phone company that has not yet launched a product can only cry.
Obviously it is its own patented technology.However, they were registered first by others. Even if the mobile phones they produce are the most advanced products in the world, if they want to sell them to Europe, they have to pay a considerable amount of patent fees to the patent holders!This situation is the last thing Yun Fei wants to see.
Although Li Lu didn't know the consequences of this.But out of trust in Yunfei and the blind worship of Yunfei, a man who is a round younger than her, she is also very anxious.
"Miss Li. I'm very sorry about this matter. We will definitely complete your commission as soon as possible. At the same time, in order to make up for your loss of time, we will serve you for free this time!" A customer who directly proposes to pay a labor fee of 30 US dollars without a quotation is definitely a big customer.
And this customer is still from China.
Not many people in China have the awareness of applying for patents in Europe. Moreover, companies that can apply for hundreds of patented technologies at a time will definitely have more business in this area in the future.
Since they come to the European Patent Office to apply for patents, they must go to the European market. If they can catch such a big client and become the client's lawyer team in Europe, they will work hard to find a large number of scattered clients. But it is too much cost-effective.
It was precisely because of this that they thought about Li Lu's promise that they could help Li Lu apply for these patents in half a month, and they also wrote this half-month agreement into the contract.
In the past, they also helped many foreign clients apply for patents at the European Patent Office, which was a very easy task.Moreover, the patents applied by this customer from Wheat Mobile Communication Equipment Company, which has never been heard of in China, are all patents with little technical content. Based on their past experience, it can be done in ten days, half a month. , have already left them one-third of the time to deal with some unexpected situations.
"Who cares about your free service?" Li Lu said very much.
Germans are recognized as the most rigorous nation in the world, but why do I meet Germans who are like those charlatans in China who are full of mouths running trains?
"Miss Li Lu, I'm really sorry!" Merck Hiller, the team leader, really felt very sorry.
If this Chinese customer makes a big splash, the reputation they have built up over the years will be completely ruined, which is simply a disaster for them.Many of their clients come here because of their reputation. Now the international economy is not very prosperous. Generally, the labor fee they can receive for a commission is only [-] to [-] US dollars, unless there are some large-scale commercial cases.
How can they not pay attention to the matter of beautiful customers from China, who can earn 50 US dollars in just over ten days?They often go to the European Patent Office, and they are very familiar with many officials at the headquarters of the Patent Office in Berlin.
They never expected such a thing to happen.
"What's the use of being sorry? Mr. Merkhiller, the matter is like this, how are you going to complete my commission within a week now?" Li Lu knew that losing her temper would not solve the problem.What she is most concerned about now is how to get patent certification documents faster.
Now she regrets that she shouldn't hire a second-rate lawyer team in order to save money. This team doesn't seem to be very good at intellectual property rights.
Patent applications in this era are not very complicated, especially for some designs, as long as the officials of the patent office do not search for the same patent in their office, and then based on the technical information and research documents provided by the applicant, there are even Proof of patent documents may be issued on the spot.
"Miss Li Lu, the European Patent Office doesn't just have an office in our capital, Berlin. We plan to go to Munich to complete the rest of the patent technology review process. If it goes well, the result will be available in five days." The process of the European Patent Office is very familiar, in order to recover the loss of their reputation, they have to fool their clients.
At the office of the Patent Office in Berlin, they have already completed the search for patents, and at the same time, many technical documents have been reviewed, and the last step of reexamination is short of work. Just take these documents here to the headquarters of the Patent Office in Munich. Soon to be able to get the patent certificate.
"Then why don't you go to Munich quickly? Mr. Merkhiller, I don't want my views on strict Germans to change on your team!" Li Lu said coldly to the Germans in front of her.
Although Li Lu spends a lot of time in Germany, she doesn’t have many friends here. Every time she comes to Germany, it’s basically for work, and even often there are clear tasks. Every time, it’s in a hurry Come and leave in a hurry.It will take some time before I can go back to my country. It just so happens that I take a stroll in Germany. Although Germany is not as good as France, which has a civilization of luxury goods, Germany's economy is far more developed than France.
"Boss, tell me, have you done it with Sister Lu? We have completed patent registrations in several countries!" The fat man asked Ye Fei as if asking for credit.
"Boss, what is the plan of that boy Yunfei? We haven't even built a factory building, and we haven't even seen the equipment. It is necessary to make so many patents? Isn't this a waste of money!" (To be continued. If you If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m to read.)
