Chapter 558 Patent Applications

Duan Yun successfully recruited talents like Qin Hai, which can be regarded as an important step for him to establish an electronics factory.

In fact, Duan Yun can also slowly study and inspect the production workshops of other domestic electronics factories, and then train employees to install production lines by himself, but this is obviously too time-consuming and energy-consuming, after all, he is now the general manager of the labor service company, and he is usually busy with work, and he has to study computer design and programming at night, and he can't be busy at all.

In addition to being busy with various preparations before the construction of the factory, Duan Yuan's next plan is to register a patent for the subwoofer sound that he has revealed.

At the beginning of the 80s, there was no concept of patents in China. The germination of China's intellectual property system began with Sino-US trade cooperation, and for China in the late 7o and early 8o years of the last century, which had just entered the first step of reform and opening up,

The word "intellectual property" is so unfamiliar that when the United States put forward a demand for intellectual property protection on the negotiating table of the Sino-US High Energy Physics Cooperation Agreement, our negotiators were completely at a loss, and they consulted many dictionaries, but could not find a single one

โ€œinte11enetbsp; At that time, China had neither an intellectual property protection law nor a party to relevant international intellectual property protection treaties, which once brought Sino-US cooperation to a deadlock.

Later, in 1982, the state was born. The Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China came into force on March 1, 1983, and the first problem to be corrected by this Trademark Law is the registration and exclusive rights of trademarks, that is, since March this year, the country has really had a trademark protection law.

In the past, China did not even attach importance to trademark ownership, and the reason is very simple, because in this era, domestic enterprises are basically state-owned enterprises, and there are trademark infringement problems with each other, which can be coordinated and solved internally, and there is basically no need for special laws and policies to restrain them.

As a person who has crossed over from the afterlife, Duan Yun naturally knows the importance of trademark and patent protection to a company and brand, so this time he is ready to set up his own factory

The "Longteng" car box trademark was registered, and after the establishment of the factory, he planned to name his factory

"Audio Electronics Factory", speaker products are also named Sound Audio, meaning

"Voices". In addition to will

The trademark "Yin" is registered, and Duan Yun also has to register

"Subwoofers" are also registered. Trademark is one of the most important values of a commodity brand, Duan Yun will not allow others to imitate his ideas and products, even if imitation cannot be avoided, at least at the legal level, Duan Yun must have the initiative.

In addition to trademarks, Duan Yun also has to register patents for his own speaker products. But now, in 1983, there was no specific patent law in China.

In fact, there is also a corresponding protection system in China, such as the "Interim Regulations on the Protection of Ming Rights and Patent Rights" promulgated and implemented in August 195o, the "Interim Regulations on the Reward of Ming Technological Transformation and Rationalization Proposals for Production" promulgated in 1954, and the new "Ming Reward Regulations" promulgated by the State Council in 1963 In addition, at the beginning of reform and opening up, whether it is an executive or an ordinary person, there is a strong resistance and even hostile attitude towards the private ownership of power.

At the beginning of the drafting of the first "Patent Law" in China, there were many objections, and many leaders even directly approached the drafters to criticize it

"Taking the capitalist road"

"Treason against the party and the country", but reform and opening up has been imperative, Sino-US cooperation is also on the line, and finally the first domestic "Patent Law" was adopted by the fourth meeting of the Sixth National Senior Officials' Conference on March 12, 1984, and the "Patent Law" was officially implemented on April 1, 1985.

Since there is currently no patent law in China, Duan Yun intends to register the patent internationally first. Duan Yun heard through Gao Lei that there have been some agency companies in Guangzhou and Shenzhen that have traveled between Hong Kong and the mainland, and these companies have offices in the mainland, and their main business is to register Hong Kong companies as an agent.

As for the honorarium, it may be higher, but this is not a problem for Duan Yunlai, as long as his patent can be applied for in Hong Kong, it is worth spending some money.

The reason why Duan Yun had to apply for a patent in Hong Kong first was because Hong Kong was relatively close to the mainland, and there were more Hong Kong-funded companies after the reform and opening up, so it was relatively much more convenient to apply for patents than in other foreign countries, and on the other hand, because Hong Kong had not yet returned to the motherland at that time, and it was still a British territory, and applying for a patent in Hong Kong was equivalent to applying for a patent in the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom was the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property Within one year after the approval of the Hong Kong patent application, other signatories to the Paris Convention could not accept similar patents, which left time for Duan Yun to apply for patents around the world.

Before applying for a patent, Duan Yu still needs to do a lot of work, including sorting out the appearance of the product trademark and technical drawings.

In addition, in addition to Gao Lei's perennial travel between Daxing and the south, Duan Yun's establishment of an office in Xiamen has also been resolved.

Zhao Changfeng made a deep impression on the city when he went to Xiamen on his first business trip, and after coming back and discussing it with his family, he decided to be willing to be the head of the Xiamen office.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Duan Yunlai, setting up an office in Xiamen is his hand and eye in the south, especially Xiamen is relatively close to Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and adjacent to Taiwan, the geographical location is very superior, which is very important for Duan Yun's future layout in the south.

Zhao Changfeng went on his first business trip to Xiamen and stayed for more than a week, during which he found six houses suitable for offices, four in the city center and two in Gulangyu.

After Zhao Changfeng took back the map and discussed it with Duan Yun, he finally chose a house next to the center of Xiamen as an office.

The reason why Duan Yun chose this house is because the owner is willing to sell this house at a high price, this is a 2-story western-style building facing the street, the house is also some years old, and it has an independent yard, but I heard that this house is in disrepair, and there is an obvious crack in the wall of the exterior wall, and the owner offers 85oo yuan, which is also very high in the local area.

At that time, Zhao Changfeng did not bargain with the owner due to time constraints, in his opinion, this price was really a bit high, and it was not worth the price at all.

But Duan Yun made a quick decision and decided to buy the house at his own expense, and he also planned to spend some money to repair and decorate the house as a labor service company in Xiamen after the house was bought.
