Intelligent Industrial Empire

"Ms. Li Lu, only part of our patent applications have been filed. For some, officials of the Patent Office believe that your design is not too unique, so no patented technology was issued..." Anna stirred with a spoon. The coffee in the cup, while lowering his head, said to Li Lu, the employer.

Patented technologies for appearance designs have also begun to emerge in Europe and America in recent years.

The appearance design of many products is very important.

The same product, the same performance, and appearance are 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 mainland could pass the artistic vision of the officials of the Patent Office, but in the end they had experienced many times. The patent application personnel discovered that although the officials of the Patent Office thought these designs were very beautiful, many of them were procrastinated with the appearance design of existing equipment...

"Is there a patent license for the design patent of the butterfly model? What about the shape design of the flip and skateboard phone?" Yunfei explained before he came, some designs may not be able to obtain patents, as long as some core technology patents are obtained Coming down is enough for their future operations.

On the contrary, patents on the technical level are the easiest to apply for.

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

"These have 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, they are small and exquisite. Enough to make any woman scream, not to mention that this little thing is the most advanced communication equipment in the world.

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

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

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

Now the market is full of analog signals. Although the European side has begun to study digital signal communication equipment, no one 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 this patent, so he can only think about it.

The digital signal communication is defined by the European guys, and there is no way to obtain a patent.Both European and American telecommunications equipment manufacturers and the electronic communications projects of the Jiuyi Research Institute under Yunfei are all based on the two European communication methods GSM or CDMA.

"Uh, we have obtained a patent license for the built-in game, but the officials of the patent office do not agree to issue the patent for the vibration function, alarm clock function, and even calculator function..." Anna doesn't know what these patent office officials think. .

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

It stands to reason that as long as there is no search found, in theory, you can apply for a registered patent.

Anna could not answer Li Lu's question.

People at the European Patent Office discovered that if all of the patented technologies applied for by the unremarkable communications equipment manufacturer in China, represented by the Merck Schiller team, are patented, any European company in the future would want to produce this aspect. All of the communication equipment must obtain the production license of the Oriental company. This is a disaster for the European communication equipment manufacturer, which has always been the industry leader.

But they have no way to refuse to apply for patents on some core things and designs with unique ideas. Otherwise, there will be a huge scandal at the European Patent Office. At that time, not many companies will choose the European Patent Office anyway.The situation of the European Patent Office, which has been created after decades of hard work, which covers almost the entire European technologically strong country, will be chaotic.

Therefore, they refused to issue patent licenses for some of the patent applications of this oriental company that they thought were irrelevant.

"That's what happened?" 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 a patent in Europe, right?Those bastards actually granted patent licenses in such a short time?

"That's it! But I think that the reason why this is so smooth this time is largely due to the efforts of the Merck Shiller team. They seem to be very familiar with intellectual property rights..." For the Merk Shiller team, Lee Lu is still very optimistic.

Although she spends more time in Europe than Beijing Sanjian in the Americas, Japan and South Korea, the patents of those countries can only cover one country.The European Patent Office, however, covers most of the European developed countries.

"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 a larger and larger consumer market like China. You know, the population of Europe as a whole is no less than Europe. As long as the economy develops, the potential The consumer market can be comparable to Europe and the United States!" Li Lu came from a trade background, and she understands these things very clearly.

In theory, Wheat Mobile is the first Chinese company to register a patent at the European Patent Office. They have to pay attention to it, although Li Lu rarely participates in this process.

In recent years, China has been seeking to join the World Trade Organization, but some developed countries in Europe and the United States have set up 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 and build factories in China in order to get the huge market in China. They hope the Chinese market more Is completely open.

"Oh, don't care about him, this is a good thing anyway. You have been on the plane for so long, so let's take a bath and rest first. I will go to the company to handle some things first, and then I will pick you up at night..." Yun Fei took Li Lu arrived home, and then 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 the leaders of the 555 factory are also there.

The 754 factory is Yunfei’s old owner. The material technology of this factory was first-class in China before it was opened. However, with the rise of some local material factories in the raw material producing areas after the reform and opening up, they have invested There are more and more competitors for products with huge scale but not much technical content and huge market. Especially now the self-hardening alloy factory next to Jiuyi Heavy Industry is also entering the raw material market for rare metals, which makes the original profit The good 754 factory is even worse.

Last year, in 1993, the net profit of the entire 754 factory was only 240 yuan, which made people laugh!According to historical development, the 754th Factory will have to wait until the raw material supply factory, which becomes the dominant lighting material supplier like Philip, will have a better life.Of course, in the end, with the rise of some small private factories in China and the inherent shortcomings of the state-owned factories, the 754th Factory fell into a crisis of bankruptcy again after losing some of its major foreign customers. The technicians in the molybdenum product company buy some technology of tungsten and molybdenum products, so that they can barely survive.

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

In the machining workshop where Yunfei is located, there are only 170 people in total, but the number of management and technicians is more than 90.

Even so, among the ranks of workers less than the 80th, there are still a lot of nasty condemnations.In some small processing factories outside, a worker who performs CNC WEDM can operate at least three WEDM machines per person, but in the 754 factory, three people will operate a WEDM machine (there is no shift system) ), also equipped with a special inspection!

This matter made Yun Fei very painful when he thought of it.

Of course, if you want to talk about efficiency, the efficiency of this factory has not been better since it entered the market economy. If it is not the last acquisition by the Xiamen Tungsten Group, plus the establishment of a factory for tungsten and molybdenum products in cooperation with Guizi, and the sale of the market It is estimated that these funds for the land in the center will go bankrupt as soon as the 21st century enters. Yunfei has no chance to enter the production workshop of that company to learn good skills.

Although Yunfei has a dislike for 754 Factory, which has a very serious bureaucracy, he has been in that factory for so many years after all, so now that he has the opportunity to cooperate, he will help him.

The third and fifth factory is an electronic factory integrating research and production in the research 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 the electronics workshop of Jiuyi Heavy Industry, let alone the electronics branch of aerospace.

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

Everyone hurriedly said not to be.
