Chapter 498: Reactions to the Scandal of the European Patent Office (1)

"According to a reporter from the Dutch Broadcasting and Television Company, in the past two days, a large number of Chinese have poured into the city of The Hague, the Netherlands, and took a sit-in demonstration at the International Court of Justice Square in The Hague, protesting the refusal of the International Court to accept the Chinese wheat mobile communications company's lawsuit against the European Immigration Office for leaking patented technology and the Swedish state The case of the High Court currently has more than 1,000 people. The Royal Dutch Police & Inspector revealed that there are more Chinese immigrants and students coming to The Hague..." With the constantly moving TV footage of Euronews, The sexy voice of the female announcer from the Dutch TV station made the whole of Europe boiling!

In January 1993, Euronews was established in Lyon, France, sending TV programs to 150 million viewers in 78 countries in Europe and surrounding countries every day in 8 languages ​​including English, French and German.The station uses "European Satellite IIF1" broadcasting, which broadcasts 20 hours a day. The news materials are provided by broadcasters in various European countries. After unified arrangement, they are broadcast in five languages ​​simultaneously, serving more than 30 countries around the world.

Euronews TV is the only pan-European multilingual TV news channel, with a weekly viewership of more than 50 million people, surpassing the American CNN TV station, and ranking first in the world news channels.

This TV station often broadcasts news content from North Africa and Eastern Europe.

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

With the reform and opening up of the Chinese country, various 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 European employment situation even more difficult.

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

Unexpectedly, it is true that Europe’s most influential TV station, European News, broadcasted that a large number of Chinese people had poured into the Netherlands, and they were also sitting in front of the UN International Court of Justice to protest against the International Court’s refusal to accept a company from China. Prosecuted the European Patent Office and the Swedish National High Court.

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

This Chinese company is too self-conscious.

When did the Chinese learn to use the 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 the European courts should not do other things!

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

"Hype, this is hype. The Chinese are really frantic and use such insidious methods to incite public opinion..." In the meeting room of a humble four-story hotel with rustic style in Kista, Stockholm, Sweden, a bald head The fat white old man snarled at the news video played on the projector in front of him.

"What are the bastards doing on Euronews? Why do such news appear on their programs? Mr. Howard, should you give us an explanation for this matter?"

Standing Howard, facing the reproach and anger of several members of the board of directors on both sides of the long conference table, his head was full of cold sweat.

"Damn Eurovision! Damn reporter..."

"Enough! Today we are here to discuss how to deal with this credibility crisis of our love of your letter! It is not to discuss what the yellow-skinned monkeys use or curse the officials who only take money and do nothing!" A forty The many-year-old middle-aged man saw these directors making a mess, and suddenly patted the table.

"Chairman, this matter is beyond our control up to now. It is said that Chinese officials in the United Nations have stepped in..." As the party concerned and the CEO of the entire company, Howard is absolutely sure about the current outcome. I didn't expect it.

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

This is an unprecedented precedent in the history of Europe, not to mention no one to come!

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

"This is simply a scandal for our entire patent office! Who can tell me why this happened? Don't you know how much this matter will affect the reputation of our entire patent office?" Luisid hurriedly ended his vacation. He didn't even have a rest just after getting off the plane, so he convened a meeting of directors with the five deputies who had been waiting at the headquarters of the Patent Office.

Twenty years have passed since the establishment of the Patent Office in 1976. This is the first time such a thing has happened.

"Director, before this, it was originally an infringement case by two companies, and we did not expect that when the court session was held the day before yesterday, that Chinese company suddenly filed a lawsuit against us in the International Court of Justice..." The first 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 of doing so!

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

"What the hell is going on?" Luiside is still at a loss until now.

"Does this company register 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 patents with us, and there are still 113 patents. At the end of last year, their attorneys were the Merck Shiller Lawyers who helped them apply for patents. So I filed a complaint with us in the Munich headquarters, asking us to arbitrate the infringement of Aixin Communication Company..."

"Yes, Director, not long after they registered their patents, Aiyouxin registered patents with some technologies and designs that were similar to them, and we were told that these patented technologies and designs have been granted by the Chinese. registered……"

Several deputy directors have already understood this matter in great detail. When the director asked about this matter, they told the whole story one after another about what they knew. The director who was in a bad mood because of the interrupted vacation... …

"In this way, in this matter, Aiyouxin Company has infringed? Have you forgotten the purpose of our Patent Office?" After hearing the whole story, Luisid's face suddenly became ashen.

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

Although their senior officials did not participate, in the end, they must be held accountable by senior officials of the Patent Office.

"The technology in the hands of Aiyouxin 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 was established twenty years ago. The good reputation will be ruined.

The Chinese have done too much!

“Since the complaint filed by the Merkshire Law Firm last year, the people below have already started investigating. The officials who were in charge of the Chinese patent processing have all immigrated to the United States..." The scum, Jacksimi wanted to find a place to drill down.

If he had taken this infringement case seriously from the beginning, such a thing would never happen.

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

"Since you have clearly understood this matter, why hasn't it come out?" Luisid almost roared.

These guys under his hand are simply a bunch of rice buckets!

A little thing, it has become like this!

"Director, the legal officer who was in charge of this matter at the time received the benefits of Love You Letter, and did not accept it on the grounds that China did not join the World Trade Organization..." Nofest said with a wry smile.

The European Patent Office is a very oily department. Officials and employees come from all European countries and have inextricable connections with large companies in various countries. The same is true for high-level companies. Once a case is involved When it comes to the big companies or countries that have good relations with them, they often help the country and company behind them.

"At the beginning, after we did not accept the case, Merkshire filed a lawsuit in the Swedish High Court and was also rejected...Before this, we also communicated privately with Merkshire Law Firm, hoping that they would withdraw the lawsuit. And Aiyouxin 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 Justice in The Hague?" Upon hearing the report from his assistant, Xue Qing, the Chinese ambassador to the Netherlands, was surprised.

How could this matter be like listening to a story!

"Yes, it was originally a patent infringement case. After a domestic wheat company filed a complaint with the European Patent Office, the European Patent Office thought that our country did not join the World Trade Organization as an excuse and believed that Aixin did not constitute a case against wheat companies. Infringement; At the same time, the Swedish National High Court directly refused to accept this case on the grounds that a company with a long history of more than one hundred years in China could not carry out design and technical infringement on a small private enterprise in China..." The assistant haha ​​smiled Xue Qing said.

They have been in Europe for a long time, and they rarely hear about Chinese litigation in Europe.

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

They didn't expect that a Chinese private company that hadn't heard much about it, in a rage, not only sued the infringing company, but also sued the European Patent Office and a country's high court!

In this lawsuit, even if the Chinese lose in the end, the reputation of these companies and countries that they have sued will be a very big loss.

"So they are accused? Our country has seen some bloody entrepreneurs in recent years!" After understanding the whole story, Xue Qing also laughed.

The Chinese have always received a lot of unfair treatment in Europe and even the United States, making him, the ambassador abroad, very depressed.

However, many of the unfair treatments are due to the fact that the domestic production companies in China have not obtained the authorization of the companies that hold the patents. This Chinese is unreasonable at first, so he can only watch depressed, even protest.

Now, China actually has a company that holds hundreds of high-tech patents, and it has been infringed by the European mobile communications giants!

"It's not that simple. Our domestic mobile phone company called Wheat started working on this matter last year, but it has not been paid attention to. Later, I don’t know what happened. The International Tribunal in The Hague filed a lawsuit. It is estimated that the officials of the International Tribunal were too idle, so they accepted it. However, the trial was held only a few days ago. On the day of the trial, the lawyer team of that company filed a new lawsuit..." The assistant added his own speculation while talking about the details of what he knew.

"Why did our domestic companies file a lawsuit in the International Court of Justice and did not apply for assistance from our embassy? There is no news from China?" Xue Qing did not expect that there would be so many twists and turns in this matter.

"Who knows, we were so close, we didn't get the news, neither the newspaper nor the TV news reported..." the assistant sighed.

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

"Then why are so many overseas students and Chinese come here? They didn't get the news from Euronews, right?" These overseas students are actually more informed than the embassy, ​​which makes Xue Qing very puzzled.

"I don't know, leader, what should we do about this?" It stands to reason that the embassy will intervene when encountering such a thing. This depends not only on the meaning of the country, but also on the meaning of the ambassador.

"What to do? Such a thing, if our embassy intervenes, it becomes a national act. Now we are seeking to join the World Trade Organization in our country. If civil behavior is elevated to a state organization, this consequence should not be our responsibility. That..." Xue Qing sighed.

"Besides, we don’t understand that domestic company at all. We don’t know what their company wants to achieve. They just intervene rashly. It’s not good. Can you contact the person in charge of that company here? , I’ll talk to them first, let’s feed this matter back to the country first, and see what the country means..." Xue Qing wanted to directly intervene with the right of the embassy.

But he also knew the consequences of doing so.

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

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

"Everyone, that's the way it is. Let's discuss how our State Intellectual Property Office should help our country's enterprises. If there is no national power to intervene, we will only rely on our small domestic private enterprise to bring a lawsuit in Europe. It’s difficult.” In the conference room of the State Intellectual Property Administration, the leaders of the State Intellectual Property Administration were all lost in thought after listening to today’s topic.

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

These officials and office staff of the State Intellectual Property Administration are serious in other rights departments, and they are all insignificant personnel.

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

And even if it involves foreign intellectual property rights, almost all domestic companies let them go when they introduce some foreign technology and high-tech products. The domestic scientific research capabilities are not good, and there are no high-tech products exported abroad, and there is no such thing. What is the State Intellectual Property Office?

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

In this matter, they have an ass to discuss, the key depends on what the top national leaders mean.

"Don't worry about the meaning of the above. First, we have to come up with a charter from our bureau, and then ask the superiors for instructions. Don't those European and American countries always use our domestic intellectual property construction as an example? Join the World Trade Organization!" Tian Yong heard his subordinates say that he would start the fire according to the instructions of his superiors.

The State Intellectual Property Administration has always been unwelcome and has a great relationship with their responsible persons.

You have to report to the top about 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 Lan Lan, the person in charge of foreign affairs, is also one of the several deputy directors of the bureau at the age of 33.

“It’s no use contacting now. The chairman and general manager of the wheat mobile phone factory have gone to Europe. The other directors are people who only pay dividends and don’t care about things. In other words, the people who can be responsible for the wheat mobile phone factory are all I went to litigate in Europe..." Sun Gan, who is in charge of legal affairs, said with a wry smile.

This is because they are not doing well enough. Domestic companies, even if they bring outsiders to fight with foreigners, they would rather believe in themselves rather than seek help from the country...
