Smart Industrial Empire

"Miss Li Lu, only a part of our patent application has come down. For some, the officials of the patent office think that your design is not too unique, so no patent technology has been issued..." Anna stirred with a spoon With the coffee in the cup, he lowered his head and said to Li Lu, the employer.

As for the patented technology of appearance design, it has also begun to rise in Europe and the United States in recent years.

The shape design of many products is very important.

The same product, the same performance, the appearance is the most important means to attract customers.

Originally, they thought that the beautiful designs provided by the spokesperson of the wheat mobile phone company from the Eastern Continent could completely pass through the artistic eyes of the officials of the Patent Office, but in the end they had experienced these many times. The personnel who applied for patents found that although the officials of the patent office thought that these designs were very beautiful, many of them were procrastinated with the shape design of existing equipment...

"Is there a patent license for the design patent of the butterfly model? What about the shape design of the clamshell and the skateboard phone?" Yunfei explained before coming here that some designs may not be able to win patents, as long as some core technology patents are won. Down, it is enough for their future operations.

Patents at the technical level are the easiest to apply for.

As long as the patent office has not applied for a patent license for the same type of technology through the search, the patent office will not hesitate to issue a patent license as long as these technologies are confirmed.But it is difficult to define the appearance design.

"These have all been taken down..." When Anna first saw these design materials, she was attracted by the exquisite appearance. Although the functions of these mobile phones are not very powerful, the small and exquisite appearance is just Enough to make any woman scream, not to mention that this little thing is the most advanced communication device in the world.

"What about the built-in game patents in the mobile phone? The built-in functions such as the alarm clock? Can the vibration function be obtained?" Li Lu is most worried about these things.

Yun Fei explained to him long ago that these things are the inevitable trend of mobile phone development in the future.

If you can hold these patents in your hands, wheat mobile phone will be invincible.

Now the market is full of big brothers with analog signals.Although Europe has begun to research digital signal communication equipment, none of them has launched a mature product.As for the patent application for digital signal communication equipment, Yun Fei really wants to apply, but it seems that no company in the world has a patent in this area, so he can only think about it.

Digital signal communication is defined by these guys in Europe, so there is no way to obtain a patent.Whether it is the communication equipment manufacturers in Europe and the United States, or the electronic communication projects of the Jiuyi Research Institute under Yunfei, they are all based on the research of the two communication methods in Europe, gsm or cdma.

"Uh, we have obtained a patent license for built-in games, but officials from the patent office do not agree to issue patents on the vibration function, the alarm clock function, and even the calculator function..." Anna didn't know what the officials of the patent office thought .

"Didn't we pass the search?" Li Lu was curious.

Logically speaking.As long as there is no one found in the search, theoretically, it is possible to apply for a registered patent.

It was difficult for Anna to answer Li Lu's question.

People from the European Patent Office found that if all the patented technologies applied for by the unknown Chinese communication equipment manufacturer represented by Merck Schiller’s team were patented, any European company would want to produce these technologies in the future. All communication equipment must obtain the production license of that eastern company, which is a disaster for the European communication equipment manufacturer, which has always been the industry leader.

But they have no way to refuse some core things and unique creative designs to apply for patents.Otherwise, there will be a huge scandal from the European Patent Office, and not many companies will choose the European Patent Office anyway.The European Patent Office, which has been created after decades of hard work and covers almost the entire European countries with relatively strong technical strength, will be in chaos.

Therefore, for some patent applications of this eastern company that they think are irrelevant.They refused to issue a patent license.

"That's the way it is?" Yun Fei couldn't help being stunned when he heard Li Lu's report from Europe.

It seems that it is not so easy for Chinese to apply for patents in Europe?Those bastards actually issued a patent license in such a short time?

"That's it! But I think the reason why it went so smoothly this time is largely due to the efforts of the Merck Schiller team. They seem to be very familiar with intellectual property rights..." Regarding the Merck Schiller team, Li Lu is still very optimistic.

Although she spent more time in Europe than Jingcheng Sanjian spent in America, Japan and South Korea.But the patents of those countries can only cover one country.However, the European Patent Office covers most of the developed countries in Europe.

"Why is it so easy?" Yun Fei was puzzled.

"With the development of our country's economic construction, those countries in Europe are increasingly eager to obtain an increasingly large consumer market like China. You must know that the population of the whole of Europe is no less than that of Europe. As long as the economy develops, the potential The consumer market can be comparable to that of Europe and the United States!" Li Lu is from a trading background, so she understands these things very clearly.

Theoretically speaking, Wheat Mobile is the first Chinese company to register a patent with the European Patent Office, and they have to pay attention, although Li Lu rarely participated in this process.

China has been seeking to join the World Trade Organization over the years, but some developed countries in Europe and the United States have obstructed it and set up many obstacles for China.

However, many European companies are now more and more optimistic about the Chinese market. It is also because of China's trade barriers that many countries' production plants have to invest in China to build factories in order to obtain China's huge market. They prefer the Chinese market completely open.

"Well, never mind, this is a good thing anyway. You have been on the plane for so long, go take a shower and rest first, I will go to the company to deal with some things, and then I will pick you up at night..." Yun Fei said to Li Lu After delivering it to his home, he went to his office in Jiuyi Heavy Industry.

At this moment, several leaders of the state-owned 754 factory are waiting for him in his office, and at the same time the leaders of the 555 factory are also there.

Factory 754 is the old owner of Yunfei. The material technology of this factory was top-notch in China before it was supposed to be opened up. The scale is huge, but there are more and more competitors for products with a huge market without much technical content, especially now that the self-hardening alloy factory next to Jiuyi Heavy Industry is also entering the raw material market of rare metals, which makes the original benefits not good. The good 754 factory made things worse.

Last year, that is, in 1993, the net profit of the entire 754 factory was only 240 yuan, which made people laugh out loud!According to the historical development, the Seventh Five-Fourth Factory will not have a better life until it becomes a raw material supply factory for the overlord of lighting materials like Philip.Of course, in the end, with the rise of some private small factories in China and the inherent disadvantages of state-owned factories, the Seventh Five-Fourth Factory fell into bankruptcy again after losing some large foreign customers. The technicians in the molybdenum products company can barely make ends meet by purchasing some tungsten and molybdenum products technology.

Of course, they should have huge profits, but because of the bloated organizational structure in the factory and the laziness common in state-owned factories, their production costs are much higher than those of small enterprises, so that they can only barely make ends meet.

There are only 170 people in the machining workshop where Yun Fei works, but there are more than 90 managers and technicians.

Even so, among the workers who are less than No.80, there are quite a few dirty things that people criticize.In some small processing factories outside, a worker who operates CNC wire cutting can operate at least three wire cutting machines, but in the [-] factory, three people operate one wire cutting machine (there is no shift system ), also comes with a dedicated tester!

This incident made Yun Fei feel extremely painful whenever he thought of it.

Of course, if you want to talk about benefits, the benefits of this factory have never been better since it entered the market economy. If it wasn’t for the final acquisition by Xiamen Tungsten Group, and the establishment of a factory producing tungsten and molybdenum products in cooperation with Devils, and the sale of the market It is estimated that the funds for the land of the center will go bankrupt in the 21st century, and Yun Fei will never have the opportunity to enter the production workshop of that company to learn good skills.

Although Yunfei didn't like the bureaucratic 754 factory very much, but he had been in that factory for so many years after all, so now that he has the opportunity to cooperate, he will just give it a shot.

The third and fifth factory is an electronic factory that integrates research and production in the field of electronic materials, but the production and research in the factory are ordinary products such as diodes and triodes that do not have much high-tech content.

In terms of technical strength, it is not as strong as Jiuyi Heavy Industry's electronics workshop, let alone compared with those electronics branch factories in aerospace.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I just went to the airport to pick up a friend who came back from Europe, so I'm late, please forgive me..." Yun Fei walked into the reception room, saw several familiar people, and said apologetically.

Everyone hastily said that they dare not take it. (To be continued..)
