Age of Dreams

For example, the designers of Qiao Gang can simulate all the appearance and internal configuration of IPAD in their minds now?

Samsung’s Koreans, can you draw a picture of the phones that they sell better than Apple in Europe and the United States, and can you name some simple and unique features?

Obviously impossible!

The burst of design inspiration must be stimulated at a certain time.

If NE was born without the leader of Qiao’s gang, no one would have thought that smart phones could do that. Research engineers of various companies would not put all their energy on the research of smart phones, nor would they have a lot of them. The classic models are out-without NE, Nokia and Motorola are still classics!

But they can't, but Xiao Qi can!

Because of these electronic products, Xiao Qi has played, disassembled, and assembled, and can draw three-dimensional diagrams, anatomical diagrams, and precise design diagrams with his eyes closed.

So, therefore, the second type of patents-design patents, is like what Xiao Qi was born to prepare, allowing him to find a way out among the numerous technical patents.

Had it not been for this, Xiao Qi would really not dare to make a tablet or a mobile phone, and it would be impossible to be killed by European and American companies.

When he is at home on weekdays, Xiao Qi takes the paper and takes the various shape patents of mobile phones and tablet computers that he can think of, even simple technical patents. First draw the whole, then the details, and then use various sides, The front, anatomical drawings, etc., specify a certain appearance feature into a patent application format.

Even some very simple and special technology application patents, without the need to spend more technology accumulation, Xiao Qi also drew all of them and described them in words. Then on the computer, use precise scales to quantify the uniform format, and take it to the US Patent and Trademark Office to apply.

Xiao Qi also knows that many of these hundred and twenty patents have already been applied for by companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Nokia, and Ericsson. As long as their own applications are found to conflict with other people’s applications, they will definitely Will be rejected.

But if you don't give it a try, how can you know if it works?

In case there are some patents in it. They haven't applied yet?

The technical aspect may be more difficult. But for these design patents, even Apple, which leads the trend of smartphones, may have just applied for some at this time. It is not like the perverted and fanatical application when the NE is about to be released at the end of this year, right?

Compared with the internal technology, the lethality of appearance is undoubtedly greater for consumers.

Think about it, the beautiful design, but because it violated someone else's patent, you can't use it. How depressing would that be?

Do you want to use it?

Okay!

Then open your invention technology patent to me. I just need it too!

If you don't allow me to use it, then you won't be able to use my tablet computer patent. You can only watch such a big piece of cake in front of you, smelling the aroma, but can't eat it.

For foreigners, there is definitely not such a mentality of "I don’t want to do it, you don’t want to do it". What they usually like most is compromise and cooperation. It is the right way for everyone to make money together—usually, trust monopoly . This is how everyone negotiated with me, and you and I came together.

With such excitement and anxiety, Xiao Qi boarded a Boeing luxury large plane.

Two hours later. When he got out of Washington Airport, he took a taxi and went all the way to the Carlisle area of ​​Alexandria, stopping at the entrance of the head office of the US Patent and Trademark Office.

As a country that values ​​intellectual property rights, the US Patent and Trademark Office has been very busy since Edison's time.

Although it is already around four o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, it is approaching the time of the weekend holiday. People are still coming and going here, and vehicles come in and out non-stop.

The headquarters building of the Patent and Trademark Office was completed in July last year. The total floor area of ​​the five office buildings reached 2.6 million square feet, and the total area of ​​the two parking lots reached 1.3 million square feet. Feet, what a luxury!

As for the two rows of townhouses and various related facilities, it also sets off the huge and busy organization of this organization-it can handle all the expenses on its own, and use the balance to build such a large-scale building complex, I am afraid that in addition to tax Besides the bureau and customs, there is only this patent and trademark bureau.

Xiao Qi is no stranger to the set of American public service agencies. He walked into a spacious and bright building. After receiving the number plate in the lobby on the first floor, he followed the instructions to the lobby on the third floor and waited for about forty minutes. , And finally got his number.

The one serving him was a blond white woman who looked beautiful from a distance, but when she came closer, she had a lot of freckles.

A beautiful woman in her thirties has a number plate with "Susan" written on her chest.

"Hi, sir, what can I do to help you." Susan was a little tired, but her attitude was still very good.

"Miss Susan, my name is Xiao Qi and I come from China. This time I am here to apply for a patent." Xiao Qi opened the box, took out piles of drawings from it, and laid out all the tables: " There are a total of 120 patent applications, of which 42 are invention patents, and 78 are design patents. I’m sorry."

"Wow~~" Susan looked at him in surprise, took a look at Xiao Qi's application materials, and then said in surprise: "You came from China specifically to apply for these patents?"

"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded.

"Oh, let me see, consumer electronics related, mobile phone shape, tablet shape... Tsk, Mr. Xiao, you are amazing!" Susan is a federal employee in charge of consumer electronics, although she is not a patent examiner. But if you have more contact, you will naturally understand a little bit.

"It's just what I'm thinking about in my daily life~www.readwn.com~ I don't know if it's useful." Xiao Qi scratched his head very honestly.

The electronics industry is prone to some young geniuses, such as Joe’s gang leaders of the year, such as Bill Gates of the year, such as Dell, etc., but the 18-year-old Chinese teenager has more than one hundred patent applications. It was the first time she met when she came to the United States to apply.

After reading a few patent drawings, Susan found that these drawings are very routine, they are the ones that she sees on weekdays, and the descriptions are very detailed, it can be seen that they have taken a lot of thought.

Patent application is very interesting. In addition to your drawings, the description of function and appearance is also an important indicator of patents.

As long as your patent application is passed, not only the drawings, but also the descriptions and explanations next to the drawings are the content of the patent, and you can directly apply for your own claims, thereby restricting others' use and creation.
