After being transferred to another world I became a magical

"50%...?

I think I heard it wrong. That would not be 50%. I'm not investing a lot of money in development like a pharmaceutical company.

"Well, if you're not going to have all the amenities, that's exactly 90% like the artifact, and this is tough too...."

90%? What about patents in this world?

"Hah... is 50% cheap? I don't like this kind of thing."

"Yes, I've never had a patent contract before, and the details of the contract will be decided by the commercial guild people, but I think about 70-50% of the profit from the patent fee is the market price, and if I monopolize such a big thing..."

Is that what this is about....

Does this mean the technology is protected? I don't even feel like I can do too much at the cultural level of this world.

Well, there are geniuses and such kind of people in every world. This level of civilization is also due to the fact that magic equipment is too convenient.

But if you get 50% of the money here, such as an exclusive, wouldn't this technology be used only by the coal mining club here?

For example, if you cut it in half, it would be tonnes. Isn't the orientation an ant?

Then the people at the coal mining association won't be convinced, but if that's the case, you can give them another interest. It feels like an agency.

"Well, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's procedural, so can't we talk about it when there's a commercial guild? And if that happens, the patent fees will be cheaper, and you're more likely to benefit from it."

"Is there such a way? It's okay if it's profitable, or if it's flawed, I might decline, but it's okay with the proposal itself."

"So please, is everything okay now?

"Ah, I'm going to call the chairman of the coal mining association, so please wait."

That said, the coal miners ran away.

Mr. Igg is still doing something around the Coke furnace.

After a while, an elderly man and a man just arrived who seemed to be fine.

"I heard it's cheaper than 50%. Are you sure? Honestly, I thought it was pretty cheap at 50%."

"Yes, but it's going to be a bit of a special system, so can you describe it in detail when you have a commercial guild? I think it's boring to be asked the same thing twice."

"Very well, I'm going with a commercial guild man, okay?

"I don't mind, but is the commercial guild better off?

I think it would be troublesome if someone suddenly brought in a new contract without an appointment....

"I'm sure that's okay, because their footwork lightness is life-threatening, unless something big has happened, of course, some of them will be delayed if they decide it's a crap case, but there's no refining fuel to replace charcoal, it's a top-class case in this city, except for special materials."

Will special materials be such a big incident?

"The high materials are very expensive, so I think it was about ten years ago when some of the materials of the dragon were brought in. Recently, there is a rumor that one metal lizard has been brought in, but if it is true, I will not go to the dragon, but it is a big fuss. Well, no matter how hard the mouth of the people involved is, I will definitely realize it and make a fuss."

I'm sorry, that's not crazy. I brought it in the item box.

I don't think it will disrupt the market because I don't have so much trouble with money so far, maybe.

"Thor, Soudescar. Well, that's all right. Let's go."

"Well, I'm looking forward to working with Cokes on your patent ideas."

I'm sorry, I didn't invent Cokes, he's a great old man.

I just wanted to apologize in my heart. I didn't do anything wrong.

Follow the coal mine chairman with the coal dealer.

I got into a commercial guild a little bit. Unlike the Adventurers Guild, the building feels white and clean.

Inside, it's not a counter like the Adventurers Guild, it's a place like a lab building at the university where small receptions arrive.

A woman sits in a reception like the Ein Adventurers Guild.

Even so, I'm not a receptionist like the Adventurer Guild, but a person with a tough personality. In modern Japan, I feel like I'm working as a secretary with glasses.

"I'm here to negotiate a patent agreement, please mediate."

"What about the patent agreement?"

"It's a patent on fuels that burn hotter than charcoal and are cheaper to refine than charcoal."

"Ha...!?... was such a thing developed at the coal mining convention?

"No, it was the boy who developed it, but I've made sure it works, otherwise it won't come here."

You call me a boy. The Japanese say they look like children.

But I still feel like I've seen someone who looks Japanese...

"Well, there's no reason to lie, and I don't know how practical it is, but it's definitely a big deal, and I'm bringing in an intermediary."

The receptionist was somewhat disturbed, but soon returned and began to perform his duties faithfully as he appeared.

The intermediary is a young man, still a tribe of people. I feel like I'm talking to a lot of people even though it's a dwarf main city.

After all, I wonder if it is left to the tribes to do the main task of negotiation, not just intermediation.

"I'm in the middle of something. My name is Kaichi. Thank you."

Ah, speaking of which, it's going to be a special contract, but I wonder if this guy's gonna be okay...

If not, why don't you think about it then?

"My name is Kaede, please."

I'm sure you do, but it's Gainta. Thank you.

Kaichi takes me into a lab-like room.

When Kaichi finally entered the room, he manipulated some magic equipment while encouraging us to sit down, and finally took a seat and opened his mouth.

"Do you need an explanation about the patent system today because you are an intermediary about the patent agreement?

I am not familiar with the patent system of this world. I don't know that much about the original world.

You might want to ask.

"If you'll excuse me, please explain."

The charcoal shop and Gainta nodded. I don't think you're insane.

"Well, patents can vary depending on the profit, or what percentage of the sales, but the system of paying a patent fee, such as the amount of money, rarely goods, that the patentee decides on the patentee, protects developers of new technologies, products, and then artifact discoverers. Attempts to avoid the payment of patent fees by fraudulent means are severely punished, generally with small magic stone artifacts accounting for 90% of the profits and new technologies for about 80% to 50%. This amount is negotiated, but the price tends to depend on how much value technology adds and how much profit it generates when doing business without it."

Hmm....

Negotiate or spread widely, this is likely to get in the way.

"I see, by the way, is it possible to make a patent contract without negotiation?

"It's possible, it's impossible, it's impossible to fix the price, and I don't think the contract works."

"Oh, that might have been a mistake, for example, I feel like declaring in advance, 'If you use this technology, you'll get 50% of the profits, and you can use it as much as you want.'"

"Um... I can't judge that, I'll call the branch chief."

Kaichi left in a hurry, and a small fat man who looked like a merchant came in.

"Hello, I'm Niaki, head of the Merchant Alliance Erela Branch, and I was told you wanted a special patent agreement, so please explain it in detail."

"Yes, first of all, I would like to receive about 30% of the profits, and I would like to distribute 10% to the coal mining club and 10% to the coal shop."

"Do the patentees get paid? What's the difference between making patent fees cheaper?

"No, it's important that the coal dealer and the coal mining association spread the technology, and I get a portion of the profits from it, and distribute the rest to the coal dealer and the coal mining association. This will moisturize me, the coal dealers, the coal mining associations, and the technology will evolve as more people use this technology. It's only by spreading the word that technology evolves."

I don't think it would be better if I suggested a blast furnace or something, but it would be better to spend so much time after the Coke spreads.

On Earth, it seems to have spread in sets with Cokes steel, but it seems that we can make steel with Cokes without it.

Niaki-san thought silently, but raised his face.

"Sure, that's a good system! But then the price competition could be too intense, and the only thing that technology can maintain a high profit margin is monopolies and oligopolies."

"That's right... how about fixing a fixed price per kilometer and taking a patent fee per kilometer? That way, you will have a quality match, not a price. Whichever wins won't hurt us, and it would be much better if the bad stuff was driven out and we competed."

Well then, Miyasu-san and Gainta-san have been quietly listening for a while, but are you okay?

"I don't mind, there's a limit to what we can do on our scale."

"I don't mind, there are a lot of coal mines that aren't dug up, there are lots of bigger places than here, and it's useless to monopolize them here alone."

I will summarize the story because they both agreed.

"So, is it okay to fix the price from the cost and then enter into a contract?

"Ah, I'd appreciate it if you could wait about three days."

Niaki-san says sorry.

"I have to contact the Alliance Master because this is not a project that the Chief of Branch can judge, and I wonder how much it will take to exchange information and get permission in the meantime... if there is a technology that could increase metal production, there are many other things I need to talk to..."

Looks like a bureau. Is it actually like a bureau?

As long as it doesn't take months or years, the footwork is even lighter for the bureau.

I left the Alliance as it is and today it is dissolved.

I decided to go back to the inn and sleep, but I checked my status before going to bed and found that my MP limit had increased by 1.

Is it something that grows without rising the level?
