Super military empire

"Why should we compensate the Chinese? What are the products on the streets of China that are authorized by patents? As long as they can imitate them by themselves, will they import technology from abroad? Even if they introduce technology, they have obtained patent authorization from related parties. Permit?" Coster was in a bad mood. When Tom, the head of the Patent Office, came to the door in person, his bad mood reached the highest point.

What he didn't expect was that the government had turned a blind eye to this matter before and even hinted that they could continue, but now suddenly changed its attitude.

Shameful politician!

"Who can have evidence to prove that we have infringed? We are just a seller, not a manufacturer. Even if infringement, it is a problem for the manufacturer! So, Director Tom, the adjustment of the Patent Office is useless for us!" Tom, Coster doesn't have the slightest favor.

In the United States, it is not like in those red empires that ordinary people have to be afraid of becoming officials.

These politicians were raised by taxpayers like Coster.

"In that case, you have to go to the legal path? Mr. Coster, I think you should understand that once the lawsuit is brought, if you lose, how serious the consequences are. It is the best consequence to reach a settlement outside the court. . At least, it can save a very considerable amount of attorney fees..." Tom went to Coster in private.

If the United Trading Company can agree, it will be much easier for them to do so.

"According to the information we have received, your offshore company registered in the British Virgin Islands controls several production plants in Hong Kong. A large amount of funds are provided by you, and some technical designs are in our United States. Those designs were all patented by Chinese people..." Tom told him some secret information in order to force Coster to agree.

Coster, who had a bad attitude, suddenly collapsed.

"Who said it was related to our United Trading Company? Evidence! What about the actual evidence? This is bloody! Who said this, I will sue him for defamation!" Coster's attitude remained tough.

Although many times they are blatant, but they are more often considering these issues.

The manufacturer is a Chinese company, and their competitor is the original Sihua Group. At present, the Sihua Group has sold all its electrical appliances sales to Best Buy, a low-ranking home appliance seller in the United States.

And Best Buy has continuously adopted innovative models over the years, and within a few years, this seller has become the largest seller of electrical appliances in the United States.

Best Buy has never questioned the product infringement of United Trading Company, and manufacturers can only find manufacturers.

"Whether it is slander, it will become very clear as long as the other party presents evidence when it goes to court. Best Buy also filed a lawsuit against your company, and at the same time, they invited the original sale of home appliance market business from Chinese and Asian manufacturers Their Sihua International assisted..." Tom's words became the straw that made Coster lose his confidence.

Best Buy belongs to a domestic electrical appliance seller in the United States, and it has been rapidly emerging in the past few years, and even has begun to expand its business to the European market. Compared with United Trading Company, the various methods of this seller are difficult to catch up. .

They have never had any opinions, making Coster believe that the other party will not care about the interests of the Chinese.

United Trading Company has always been avoiding conflicts with each other's non-Chinese business.

The two sides have been in peace for all these years.

"If we agree to an out-of-court settlement, what will we pay in the end?" Coster gritted his teeth and asked.

Tom nodded with satisfaction at the change in his attitude, "Stop infringement, which will greatly affect your future business. At the same time, as a unit that infringes the other party's patent rights, you will be fined at least tens of millions of dollars. "

"What about compensation?" Coster didn't care about the business being affected, because once he was punished and compensated, these products would be equivalent to buying patents from China.Of course, the United States, a Hong Kong company, cannot control it. Even if it no longer produces the same appearance, there is no problem after slightly modifying the design.

In order to enhance competitiveness, the technical department of the United Trading Company has been preparing to launch new products over the years.

If the Chinese lions open their mouths and the US government agrees to the Chinese's demands, this will deal a huge blow to United Trading Corporation.

"According to the current situation, there is no benchmark for the losses caused by infringement. Therefore, the final likely result is compensation of millions of dollars..." Tom's words immediately made Coster excited.

On the surface, it is very detrimental to them, but the consequences are not serious. For them, tickles are not counted.

A huge fine of tens of millions of dollars is considered to be a protection fee for the government.

"If this is the result, we agree to settle with them out of court in accordance with the Patent Office's processing method..." Coster agreed to this method of processing.

For Tom, the Chinese should be very satisfied with the results of this treatment.

They advocated that the United Trading Company should stop infringement, claim compensation from the other party, and respect their patent rights. This result is all in line with the Chinese claim.

The Chinese may be even more happy if they can not enter the courts. After all, they do not understand the Western patent laws. Even Chinese people have always liked to settle things down. Once a lawsuit is dragged on, it will be protracted.

"Really nonsense, infringement for more than ten years, and then compensate 5 million US dollars? Should they be begging? You agree with this result, we don't agree!" Wang Xun had a result of this matter so quickly, and It is not as protracted as the western infringement cases, and it is very satisfying.

Especially the results are more satisfying for them.

They don't care about how much compensation the other party pays, but care about the other side's attitude that gives China face.

China does not have a patent bill in its own country, and currently no patents will be protected in China.

"Comrade Liu, this result is already very good." Wang Xun had a headache, and immediately explained the meaning of this result to China, but Liu Yijiu ignored his explanation at all.

Liu Yijiu still asked the other party to pay one billion US dollars in compensation. In addition to the financial aspect, Liu Yijiu was not very concerned about other consequences.

This is basically because the Western governments headed by the United States want to enclose China in their rules of the game after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, which has severely impacted China's state system.

Two years ago, in 1986, China had already started negotiations with Western countries on joining the World Trade Organization.

The biggest obstacle to China in the Western world is that China is a red camp, and there is no domestic trademark and intellectual property protection, and this excuse is also the most frequently used by them.

Once China joins the World Trade Organization, other countries will not have much impact on the results of the scientific research team because of the protection of the patent law.But China is different. Once they join the World Trade Organization and enjoy low tariffs, they will use their cheap domestic productivity to imitate those patented products that have invested a lot of money, which will not require too much research and development costs. So that imitation products can be quickly put into the market.

In this way, the technological development of the entire world will be severely impacted.

Therefore, Western countries require China to join the World Trade Organization on the premise that an intellectual property protection system must be established.

The construction of intellectual property rights is to protect the private property of some individuals and companies.Even if there is a unit like the Ninth Institute that has been exploring this aspect from the beginning, it has aroused criticism from many domestic departments and units. The technology provided by the Ninth Institute to related brothers is not free, so it is effective. Increased the corresponding cost...

If the country is established, it is now to completely terminate the threshold for domestic companies to enter a certain field, and competition will be more intense, especially in terms of talents and technology.

Liu Yijiu’s choice of time now is very appropriate. The old man and others understand the conspiracy of the West, but China’s reform and opening up and economic development require the world market, and China also needs to import technology from the world to enhance the country’s scientific and technological foundation.

Sooner or later, this matter cannot be stopped, but when the old man has not retired and the Soviet Union has not disintegrated, even if China has such an idea, it will not raise it.

Asking the other party for one billion US dollars in compensation, Liu Yijiu's words were completely open to the lion, and he was blackmailing the United Trading Company.

But he seized the opportunity.

At another point in time, he might agree with this result.

But now it is obviously not agreed.

"What does it mean that the result is good? One billion dollars, a penny cannot be less. I am personally responsible for this. As long as the other party does not pay one billion dollars in compensation, we will continue the lawsuit with them, and we will let China all Companies see that the so-called intellectual property protection is only for the protection of Western countries, not our country. Even if our country joins this system, this is only a means to restrict development for our companies!"

Liu Yijiu has a purpose in everything he does.

It would be a good thing to prevent the establishment of the intellectual property system in the country.

After all, China's development depends on imitation.

Imitation is much less expensive than research.

Of course, if you want to ensure that your own interests are not violated, you have to rely on secrecy.

As the country's top secret military-industrial unit, the security measures are naturally unmatched by other units.The core technology is not so easy to imitate.
