Smart Industrial Empire

"According to a reporter from the Netherlands Radio and Television Company, in the past two days, a large number of Chinese have poured into The Hague, the Netherlands, to sit-in and demonstrate at the International Court of Justice Square in The Hague, protesting that the International Court refused to accept the Chinese Wheat Mobile Communications Company's lawsuit against the European Immigration Service for leaking patented technology and the Swedish state. At present, the number of cases in the High Court has exceeded 1000, and the Royal Dutch Police revealed that there are more Chinese immigrants and students flocking to The Hague..." With the constantly moving TV footage of Euronews, from The sexy voice of the female announcer on Dutch TV made the whole of Europe boil!

In January 1993, euronews was established in Lyon, France. It sends TV programs to 1 million viewers in 8 countries in Europe and surrounding areas in 78 languages ​​including English, French and German every day.The station uses "European satellite iif1.5" to broadcast 1 hours a day. The news materials are provided by radio and television organizations in various European countries.

Euronews TV is the only pan-European multilingual TV news channel, with a weekly audience rating of more than 5000 million, surpassing the US N TV station and ranking first in the world news channel list.

This TV station often broadcasts some news content about the current situation in North Africa and Eastern Europe.

Since its establishment, there have been few news content related to the Chinese.

With the reform and opening up of China, all kinds of light industrial products made in China have filled the shelves of European supermarkets. At the same time, a large number of Chinese have poured into Europe, making the already severe employment situation in Europe even more difficult.

In order to maintain the harmony and stability of the entire European Union's ruled area, the major news media in European countries rarely report news about Chinese in Europe. Even if they do, they broadcast some things such as Chinese smuggling...

To the surprise of the whole of Europe, this time the most influential TV station in Europe, European News, actually broadcast a large number of Chinese influx into the Netherlands.They also sat down in front of the International Court of the United Nations to protest against the International Court's refusal to accept a case from a Chinese company suing the European Patent Office and the Swedish National High Court.

As soon as this news was broadcast, it set off a huge wave throughout Europe.

This Chinese company is too presumptuous.

When did the Chinese learn to use law as a weapon in Europe?

This is not good news for many European countries.

If all Chinese foreign trade export companies learn to do this in the future, then these courts in Europe should stop doing other things!

"Shit! The Chinese are too self-indulgent..."

"Hype, this is hype. The Chinese are really insane. They actually use such insidious means to incite public opinion..." In a conference room of an inconspicuous four-story rustic hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, a bald man The tall, fat white man roared at the news video played on the projector in front of him.

"What are those bastards on Euronews TV doing? Why does such news appear in their program? Mr. Howard, shouldn't you give us an explanation for this matter?"

Howard, who was standing, was sweating coldly at the reprimands and curses of several board members surrounding the long conference table.

"Damn EuroTV! Damn journalists..."

"Enough! We are here today to discuss how to deal with this crisis of credibility that we love you! We are not discussing what methods those yellow-skinned monkeys used or cursing those officials who only take money and do nothing!" A 40-something The year-old middle-aged man saw these directors making a mess, and immediately patted the table.

"Chairman, this matter, until now, is beyond our control. It is said that Chinese officials stationed in the United Nations have been involved..." As the party involved.Howard, who is also the CEO of the entire company, absolutely did not expect the current ending.

No one would have thought that those Chinese would sue the European Patent Office and the Swedish High Court.

This is throughout European history.Not to mention that there is no one to come after, it is definitely an unprecedented precedent!

................................

"This is simply a scandal for our entire patent office! Who can tell me why this happened? Don't you know? How much impact will this matter have on the reputation of our entire patent office?" Louise ended his vacation in a hurry, and just after getting off the plane without even taking a break, he held a meeting with the five deputies who were already waiting at the headquarters of the Patent Office.

From the establishment of the Patent Office in 1976 to the present, 20 years have passed, and this is the first time such a thing has been encountered.

"Director, before this, it was just an infringement case between two companies. We didn't expect that the Chinese company would suddenly sue us in the international court when the court session was held the afternoon before yesterday..." The first person in charge of legal and international affairs Nofist, the head of the five headquarters, felt wronged.

This Chinese company did not think about the consequences at all!

Maybe they did this just out of disgust at the European Patent Office. After all, many Chinese products will involve some infringement issues when they are exported to Europe. Chinese people have no patent awareness at all!

"What's going on here?" Louise was still at a loss so far.

"Could it be that this company has registered a patent with our patent office? Even if it infringes, why didn't they file a complaint with our patent office?"

"Director, this company has indeed registered a patent with us, and there are three 110 items. At the end of last year, their attorney, that is, the Merck Schiller Law Firm that helped them apply for the patent, filed a complaint with us. We filed a complaint at the headquarters in Munich, asking us to arbitrate the infringement of Ainixin Communications Company..."

"Yes, Director, shortly after they registered their patents, Ai Ni Xin took some technologies and designs that were almost the same as theirs to register patents, and we were also told that these patented technologies and designs had been given by the Chinese. registered……"

The several deputy chiefs already knew about this matter in great detail. When the Chief Chief asked about this matter, they told the whole story of what they knew one by one to the Chief Chief who was in a bad mood because his vacation was interrupted... …

"Let's say this, what happened this time. Did AiNiXin infringe? Have you forgotten the purpose of our patent office?" After hearing the whole story, Louise's face turned livid.

This incident is a big scandal at the European Patent Office!

Although these senior officials did not participate in it, in the end, they, senior officials of the patent office, must bear the responsibility.

"The technology in the hands of AiNiXin was really leaked from our patent office? Why can't it be leaked from their own hands?" Now, if this matter is not handled properly, the patent office has been established for 20 years. The good reputation of the company will be destroyed once.

The Chinese have gone too far!

"Since the complaint filed by the Merck Schiller law firm last year, the people below have already started to investigate. Several officials who were in charge of handling Chinese technology patents have immigrated to the United States..." My own staff came out like this Such a scum, Jack Simi wished he could find a crack in the ground and dive down.

If he had paid attention to this infringement case from the very beginning, such a thing would never have happened.

It was because of his indifference that he, who was expected to become the next director, might not even be able to keep his current position as deputy director.

"Since you have clearly understood this matter, why haven't you come out?" Louise almost growled.

These guys under him are simply a bunch of idiots!

A small incident has turned into what it is now!

"Director, the legal officer in charge of this matter got the benefit of Ai Nixin. He refused to accept it on the grounds that China has not joined the World Trade Organization..." Nophist said with a wry smile.

The European Patent Office is a very lucrative department. Officials and employees come from all over Europe, and they are inextricably linked with large companies in various countries.Even their high-level executives are the same. Once a case involves those big companies or countries that have a good relationship with them, they often help the countries and companies behind them.

"At the beginning, after we failed to accept it, Merck Schiller filed a lawsuit with the Swedish High Court, which was also rejected... Before that, we also communicated with Merck Schiller Law Firm privately, hoping that they would withdraw the lawsuit, And Ai Ni Xin was willing to pay a certain amount of compensation, but was rejected by their Chinese boss..."

............................

"What, our Chinese private enterprise sued the European Patent Office and the Swedish National High Court at the International Court of Hague?" Hearing the assistant's report, Xue Qing, the Chinese ambassador to the Netherlands, was surprised.

How could this matter be like listening to a story!

"Yes, it was originally just a patent infringement case. After the domestic wheat company filed a complaint with the European Patent Office, the European Patent Office held that our country had not joined the World Trade Organization. Infringement; at the same time, the National Higher Court of Sweden also refused to accept this case on the grounds that it is impossible for a domestic enterprise with a long history of hundreds of years to infringe on the design and technology of a small private enterprise in China..." the assistant said with a smile Xue Qing said.

They have stayed in Europe for a long time, and they seldom hear about Chinese people going to court in Europe.

Even if their rights are violated, most Chinese people choose to swallow their anger for future development.

They did not expect that a private enterprise in China, which had never been heard of much, would not only sue the infringing company, but also sue the European Patent Office and the high court of a country in a rage!

Even if the Chinese lose this lawsuit in the end, it will be a great loss to the reputation of the companies and the country they sued.

"So they were sued? In recent years, some bloody entrepreneurs have emerged in our country!" After understanding the whole story, Xue Qing also laughed.

The Chinese have always been treated unfairly in Europe and even in the United States, which made him, an ambassador abroad, very depressed.

However, many of the unfair treatment is because the domestic production enterprises in China have not obtained the authorization of the company that holds the patent.

And now, there is actually a company in China that holds hundreds of high-tech patents, and it has been infringed by a European mobile communication giant!

"Things are not that simple. Our domestic mobile phone company called Wheat started to work on this matter last year, but it has not been taken seriously. Later, for some reason, the company's attorney team went to The International Tribunal in The Hague filed a lawsuit. It is estimated that the officials of the International Court were too busy, so they accepted it, but the trial did not start until a few days ago. On the day of the trial, the company's attorney team filed a new lawsuit..." The assistant talked about the details of what he knew.Add your own guesses.

"Why didn't our domestic companies apply for assistance from our embassy when they filed a lawsuit in an international court? There was no news from the country?" Xue Qing didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in this matter.

"Who knows, we're so close, we haven't gotten any news, neither the newspapers nor the TV news reported it..." the assistant sighed.

The embassy is here, there are so many things to do in a day, and there is not much time to pay attention to these unimportant things.

"Then why are there so many foreign students and Chinese coming here? Didn't they get the news from Euronews TV?" These foreign students are actually more informed than the news from the embassy.This made Xue Qing very puzzled.

"I don't know, leader, what should we do about this matter?" Logically speaking.When the embassy encounters such a thing, it will intervene. This depends not only on the meaning of the country, but also on the meaning of the ambassador.

"What should we do? This kind of thing. If our embassy intervenes, it will become an act of the state. Now our country is seeking to join the World Trade Organization. If the non-governmental act is elevated to the act of a state organization, we should not be responsible for the consequences. It's..." Xue Qingchang sighed.

"Besides, we don't know that domestic company at all, and we don't know what purpose their company wants to achieve, so it's not good to intervene rashly. Can you see if you can contact the person in charge of that company here? , I’ll talk to them first, let’s report this matter to the country first, and see what the country means…” Xue Qing really wanted to directly intervene with the power of the embassy.

But he also knows the consequences of doing so.

Therefore, this matter must wait until the domestic regulations come down.

................................

"Everyone, this is the case. Next, let's discuss how our State Intellectual Property Office should help our country's enterprises. If there is no state power to intervene, only a small private enterprise in our country will have to file a lawsuit in Europe. , It’s very difficult.” In the conference room of the State Intellectual Property Administration, all the leaders of the State Intellectual Property Administration fell into deep thought after listening to today’s topic.

China's intellectual property construction has been started for more than ten years, but no breakthrough has been made.

These officials and office staff of the General Administration of Intellectual Property are insignificant in some other rights departments.

Who said that after China became the world's factory, it exported some low-end labor-intensive products, which rarely involved intellectual property issues.

And even if foreign intellectual property rights are involved, they are almost always used when the country introduces some foreign technology and high-tech products. The domestic scientific research capabilities are not good, and there are no high-tech products exported to foreign countries. There is no such thing as them. What about the Intellectual Property Office?

"Director Tian, ​​what does the above mean?" A dull-looking middle-aged man with a round face and beard first broke the silence of the meeting room.

It's useless for them to discuss this matter. The key depends on what the leaders of the country above mean.

"Don't worry about what the above means, first of all, we have to come up with a charter from our bureau, and then ask the higher-ups for instructions. Don't those European and American countries always use our domestic intellectual property construction as an issue? And use this as a reason to refuse to let our country Join the World Trade Organization!" Tian Yong was ignited when he heard his subordinates say to follow the instructions of his superiors.

The State Intellectual Property Administration has always been unpopular, and has a lot to do with these responsible persons.

They have to ask the superiors for instructions and report everything, and ask the leaders what to do. This is a manifestation of their incompetence!

"Director, I think we should first communicate with the wheat mobile phone factory and ask them what they want to achieve before making corresponding arrangements, otherwise..." Most of the people in charge of the State Intellectual Property Administration are very young, especially It is Lan Lan, the person in charge of foreign affairs, and at the age of 33, she has become one of the deputy directors in the entire bureau.

"It's useless to contact now. The chairman and general manager of the wheat mobile phone factory have gone to Europe. The other directors are all people who only pay dividends and don't care about things. I went to go to court in Europe..." Sun Qian, who was in charge of legal affairs, said with a wry smile.

This is because people like them are not doing well enough. Domestic companies, even if they take outsiders to fight with foreigners, would rather believe in themselves than seek help from the country... (to be continued...)
