Super military empire

Chapter 1213 Billion Dollar Patent Compensation Claim

"Lawsuit? What kind of lawsuit?" Wang Xun was suddenly shocked.

International lawsuits have not been encountered so far. Some Chinese export companies are now beginning to face foreign tariff protection and intellectual property protection. The phenomenon has become more and more serious. Especially since the past two years, Western countries have become more and more attitudes towards China. not good.

"United Trading Company has been infringing on our electrical products. We have many international patents. It is impossible to protect rights in our country, because our country does not have intellectual property rights..." Even if China has, Liu Yijiu will not go to court in China.

The country’s court verdict, the Americans simply ignore it.

Forced execution?

They don't have any business in China at all. Even if Hong Kong is taken back, they still have the right to autonomy, and they still use some of their original laws, especially the patent law.

"This thing is a bit big! How about I ask for you first?" Wang Xun's head is a bit bigger.

Liu Yijiu came to the Ministry of Commerce, and there really is nothing good.

The latter shook his head. If asked, how about letting him run?"We have been preparing for these years, and we are now ready to start. Otherwise, we will not apply for any international patents in the future, and we will not care about whether there are patents and not get involved..."

The ability of the Chinese to copycat is something that makes the whole world feel terrible.

Not to mention that the Ninth Institute has a huge scientific research team, if it gets angry, it will directly imitate these technologies, and it will still target some advanced civilian technologies in the United States.

"The people in our company have already sent a written document to the United Trading Company for a negotiated settlement, but there is not much possibility. The remaining path is to find a solution to the National Trademark and Intellectual Property Office of the United States. The court proceeded to prosecute. We are ready to do both."

As Liu Yijiu said, United Trading Company would not treat their warnings as a matter at all.

Coster’s status in the United States over the years has risen as his business continues to expand, starting with electric fans from China, and then getting involved in other electrical products, and has become the fourth largest electrical appliance seller in the United States.

Even Sihua International has dumped a large amount of business due to political reasons, and has turned from a third-generation electrical appliance seller to inflow.

"Chairman, the Chinese once again issued a written document asking us to stop the infringement and compensate them for their losses..." The beautiful female secretary held a document in her hand and handed it to Coster.

Many people in the United States are aware of Coster’s family history.

Ten years ago, this company’s annual turnover was no more than one million U.S. dollars. Coster was also one of the first cowboys to go to China to go for gold panning. However, he later shifted his attention to Hong Kong. There is nothing disdainful of his behavior.

The accumulation of capital was originally a bloody process.

Coster flicked the cigar in his hand with his fingers, hooked his fingers at the secretary, motioned her to sit on his lap, and waited until the secretary sat on his lap, before he smiled contemptuously, " The Chinese have done things like this once or twice. We need to pay attention to them? China itself does not have intellectual property rights, and their technologies are shared..."

This is Coster's greatest support.

The female secretary has been with Coster for a long time. When she heard this, she couldn't help but frowned, "This time is different. Their words have become very tough, plus our factory in Hong Kong is basically unscrupulous. As soon as the other party has a new design, Hong Kong will copy it..."

"My dear, there is nothing different. Will the Chinese go to court with us? Even if we go to court, what can we do? A country does not protect intellectual property rights itself, not only does not protect their own, let alone protect In other countries, why do they ask the US government to protect the patent rights of one of their companies?” Coster said, but his hands began to become dishonest.

Then, the office rose up a beautiful...

"China's Red Star Electric Appliance Factory filed an application, asking us to deal with United Trading Company's infringement of their products..."

"China itself does not have patent protection, why should we protect their patents? While they infringe our protected patents, they ask us to protect their patents from being affected..." The non-discriminatory demands of the Chinese, The US Patent Office does not care.

After receiving the application from China, no one cared about this issue.

After the US Federal Trademark and Intellectual Property Office received the written application from the Chinese, it was quickly thrown into the trash can. Within a few days, no one even remembered the problem.

However, what they didn’t expect was that in less than a month, the basic procedures could not be completed. The Federal Trademark and Intellectual Property Office actually received a subpoena from the Federal Court. The company and the Patent Office have filed a complaint!

At this moment, they couldn't sit still.

Although they are not afraid of litigation or anything, Americans who have always been fearless have not sent the patent office to the dock at all. In the end, the lawsuit was protracted, and many people eventually went bankrupt because of the huge expenses.

But this time is different, because the relevant parties of the US federal government issued a secret written notice requesting the Patent Office to properly handle the matter as soon as possible. This matter is related to US national interests.

"How can a small infringement case be related to the national interest? Don't those bureaucrats know that we are busy? Leave it alone!" Patent Director Tom roared after seeing the government's secret documents.

This thing is simply nonsense.

The patent office has a lot of affairs every day, and there is no manpower at all. Where can there be time and energy to deal with such things from China?

However, the Director of the National Security Strategy Conor Donald and the presidential adviser Mister visited the door in person, and Tom realized that this was not quite right.

Even if the Chinese company has a background, it is impossible to buy the President and the National Strategic Security Agency with money.

This is not a department that manages the economy.

They intervene, which really affects national security and national interests.

However, it was not so easy for Tom to do things according to their requirements, they had already exceeded it.At least, he wouldn't do it when he didn't get a valid answer.Although, just arrange people to deal with such things.

"Two people, things in the Patent Office don't seem to fall under your jurisdiction, right?" Tom's attitude is not very friendly.

Mist has grown old. Although he still holds the title of advisor to the president, his work is far more important than that of the president. He is responsible for setting up a department specializing in research on China. The main task is to provide the country with policies on China. And various analyses.

"It's really not under our jurisdiction, Tom. This matter is related to our national security and national strategy. I hope you can cooperate with us. The impact of this matter will be very far-reaching. Maybe soon, you will be able to understand..." Connor Donald said to Tom solemnly.

"China has not added intellectual property rights, and they have not protected patents themselves!"

"But some of their domestic companies have applied for patents. This patent infringement incident is a very good publicity case. If we do not handle this matter now, there are still companies in China that will apply for patent protection in our country? China's share of international trade is increasing, and their economy is maintaining double-digit rapid growth every year..." Connor Donald revealed that China will carry out construction in this area in the future.

Tom is not a fool.

It is obviously impossible to be able to sit in the position of the head of the patent office without any political sense.

"So, China will carry out construction in this area? But they are a communist country, and their state system cannot allow them to do such things... Communism, all communism, not allowing private ownership of too much wealth, everything All belong to the collective and the country..." Tom thought it was impossible.

Unless, the eradication of communism proposed by President Reagan can really be achieved.

The Soviet Union is communism, and so is China.

And these two countries are world powers.

"So, this is related to national interests and national security, and the secrets involved cannot be disclosed to you..." Mist said seriously.

Tom nodded, even though he still didn't quite understand.

"In that case, we need to follow their requirements to let United Trading Company stop the infringement and compensate them accordingly?" Tom didn't understand the purpose of these two people looking for themselves, and tentatively proposed a solution. "But we don't have the right to do this. The Patent Office has no law enforcement powers at all, and at best cooperates with the Federal Court..."

"Yes, I want you to cooperate with the Federal Court. There are Chinese companies following the path of our capitalism, so we should propagate more." Mistor said insidiously.

As an expert with in-depth research on China's various policies and even history, Mist knows clearly that in China, since the reform and opening up, there has been no clear conclusion in the disputes over surnamed society.

The development of the private economy has become very active, and many people in China have quickly accumulated funds and means of production that far exceed those of ordinary people.

"Of course, the result will certainly not be what the Chinese imagined. They demanded that the United Trading Company stop infringement and compensate them for a huge loss of billions of dollars. This is obviously impossible!" Connor Donald also looked contemptuous. ."The reason why we let them win the lawsuit is because they are the first Chinese company to enter the market in accordance with our rules of the game. As for compensation, even if infringement, can there be enough evidence to show that they have caused such a huge loss? "

United Trading Company is just an electrical appliance sales company, billion US dollars, basically all the market value of this company.

If it really follows the requirements of the Chinese, it would be unfair to American companies.

"Isn't it compensated for a penny? Since the United Trading Company infringes, compensation is definitely necessary. Otherwise, it will have a very big impact on the companies in our country and many European countries that apply for patents in the United States." Tom knew the final result of patent infringement very well.

Hearing his words, Mist and Connor Donald fell silent.

The United Trading Company itself has infringed, even if there is no infringement, for the sake of national interest, they will be allowed to infringe.

Only after the Federal Court verifies that they are infringing, can more Chinese export companies apply for patents to protect their interests, which will further affect China's fundamental system. In addition, some Chinese people bought by the United States will fan the flames and achieve certain political goals.

Compensation is absolutely not allowed by the United States.

That Chinese unit has the background of the Chinese military, and even one cent may be used by the Chinese to make a bullet.

At the beginning of the Korean War, the Chinese economy was not able to do well, and the gap in weapons and ammunition was very large, and the U.S. military, which was eventually fighting, did not want it.Now that China's economy is beginning to develop, China is gradually increasing its investment in military industry, which will seriously affect the national security of the United States, especially the security and interests of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region.

"If the infringement is only judged, but no serious impact and loss have been caused, can it not be compensated?" Mister asked.

He is not very clear about the patent bill or something.

Otherwise, I won't come here in person.

He came here to give Chinese companies a result.

"Theoretically speaking, it is possible. Because our country's laws are not without any loopholes." Tom thinks for a while, and some understand, "However, this is very difficult to operate, and it is difficult to produce results in a short time. Or , It can make United Trading Company pay less compensation. If we want to achieve some results, it is best for us to solve this matter first..."

"This unit has a Chinese military background. All the compensation from the United Trading Company will be invested in the military industry."

"China's technology is so backward, even if we invest tens of millions more, what can we do?"

"China's military technology, on the bright side, is indeed not very advanced, but the Chinese have always liked to hide good things. Their true strength far exceeds the world's knowledge of them!" There is no need to explain.

However, in order to get the Patent Office to focus on this matter, Mist explained it a bit.

The Soviet Union is on the verge of dying, and it has invested less and less in military industry, while China, the world’s second red regime, has more and more military investment. Although it is only a fraction of the United States, who knows how much China has secretly invested ?

China has too many secret research departments.
