I think we can overcome any technical difficulties. ”

Dean Tong agreed very happily, and even made a gesture before Sophia could describe the needs specifically, which showed that he was really stimulated by the 20 million dollar smoke bomb private order.

Sophia was not polite, and ordered directly: "Our third requirement is this, in the design process, the new technologies and new solutions you use, what innovative points can be patented, how should they be combined and split, what kind of patents to apply for, and what countries to apply for, all of them must be reviewed by my people, and then apply for them absolutely in accordance with the rhythm I commanded——

Note that we don't want the financial benefits of your future patents, nor do we expect royalties, we want rhythm and confidentiality. Some things are applied too early, which means that the technical details are disclosed too early, can you understand Mr. Gu's concerns?"

Dean Tong didn't think about it: "This is the way it should be, for technologies that are not suitable for protection as invention patents, they should be kept in the form of trade secrets for a period of time." ”

After all, Dean Tong is old and well-informed, so he said so.

However, Qin Ya, the designer he brought, is relatively lacking in knowledge outside of this major, and she still wants to be famous and show her face, and when she heard that the new technologies and new applications developed in the future design process may be stuck and cannot apply for patents, her heart suddenly sank.

It's just that she is soft-spoken, and she doesn't dare to point out the protest in person, but privately pulls Accountant Li, the financial officer who came with her.

After all, finance is a liberal arts student, and it is normal to know a little bit about legal practices related to business.

"Sister Li, will our academic interests be harmed by that French lawyer's request? Why do you want to do this?"

Economic interests will not be damaged, Qin Ya can also understand this, and she is not afraid. But as a designer, she cares about fame and the opportunity to make a name for herself by inventing new technologies that are some of the biggest in the industry.

Accountant Li enthusiastically whispered to her to answer: "The requirements of the people are also due, since there is a project with the obligation to keep the technical details confidential, you must listen to the other party's arrangement."

Because according to the patent law, once you apply for an invention patent, the longest period from the filing date to the publication date is 18 months, that is to say, 18 months after filing, your technical details will be disclosed to the public. In that case, the people who have made up their minds to pay you for your technology will not be able to stop them. Attorney Sophia will not sit idly by and watch the patent be applied for by someone else in the future, or become a 'disclosed prior art', but only a delay of time. ”

"Thank you, I was overthinking. "I heard that the patent can still belong to the developer in the end, but the time is delayed, Qin Ya is completely relieved.

However, Qin Ya and Accountant Li's ear biting seemed to be heard by Sophia, and she responded positively unabashedly:

"This Miss Qin, if I remember correctly, should be one of the main designers of this project, right? The answers that Ms. Li gave you just now are completely correct, and they are one of our requirements for you, but not all.

We must not only do all of the above in the control of the timing of future patent applications, but also cooperate with the 'patent submarine' to make full use of the right to withdraw an application granted by law. In this way, we can extend the duration of the submarine to a maximum of 36 months, that is, a full three years. Even before the final three-year secrecy period expires, we will lure the imaginary enemy who has been exposed by then and let them step into the protective area on their own initiative, all of which require your absolute obedience and cooperation. ”

This strategy is very professional, not to mention that Qin Ya can't understand it, and even the well-informed Dean Tong and Accountant Li can't understand it.

It took them several minutes to get a rough idea of how it worked:

According to the Patent Law, an invention patent has an opportunity to "reverse" after the application is filed and before the disclosure and substantive examination, that is, the application can be withdrawn.

However, this right of withdrawal can only be exercised once, and if it is withdrawn too much, it will lead to defects such as loss of novelty, reduction to prior art, and "obvious derivation by industry insiders based on prior art".

The specific legal provisions are very complicated, there is no need to say more, and even if the resulting flaws are not visible at the time of application, the interested parties may "apply for invalidation" of your application in the future.

Anyway, it's better not to do such a thing as "retracting more than two times", just write down the conclusion. (It's not that I can't write professional details, it's that I don't want water.) If you don't believe me, I can post a professional practice qualification certificate as proof, this is my old business. Really write it out, copy it according to the relevant chapters of the "Patent Examination Guide", I can water tens of thousands of words)

In the case of repentance at most, the "patented submarine" can only be buried for three years at most.

For example, Gu Kun's Lanfang Tower project may be ready to start construction in the New Year of 2000. It is normal for this kind of project to be completed in five or six years, and it is possible to lay the foundation, dig the basement and reinforce, and do other preparatory work, and the holiday will be two years smaller.

Therefore, it is estimated that by the end of 02, it will be possible to see the prototype of the first few floors of the ground building, and the nominal height of the "smoke bomb scheme" of 600 meters can only be broken through at the beginning of 05, which can not completely hide its true strength.

Historically, Gu Kun remembered that the man-made Burj Khalifa in Dubai should have started construction in the second half of 04, so it may start to enter the design stage before the end of 02.

Assuming that throughout 2003, the people of Dubai were entrusting the design of the most prestigious supertall buildings in Brittany, they would not have seen the flaws in the Lanfang Tower, nor what technology it would use, or how high it would eventually be.

Gu Kun's plan was to first use smoke bombs to deceive the Lan Fang people, making them think that the initial plan to build seven or eight hundred meters was enough, or about the same as 830 meters in another time and space, or even slightly higher.

(Dubai's history has also reserved space for further heightening in the future, and of course these Gu Kun must also be calculated, so he should also leave corresponding potential space in the design plan of Lanfang Tower, and keep the relevant technical reserves and construction reserves)

After being deceived, Gu Kun had to make sure that in 02, before the Bretons began to design for the Dubai, all the initial relevant patent applications were sent in.

Then the card to the beginning of 04, before the expiration of the first 18 months, legally exercise the right of estoppel to withdraw an application, and then two second votes, so that the technical confidentiality period can be delayed until the second half of 05.

In the second half of 05, the Burj Khalifa for Dubai people should have started construction for more than a year, and the foundation was completed, and the building height began to climb at a high speed.

But at that time, they suddenly learned that their technology was not advanced and infringed on the rights of others, and they caused a bunch of lawsuits to claim (to claim from the firm that designed them, not from the owner, because the country where the owner is located has not applied for and has no protection), and at the same time, the plan they originally claimed to be very awesome is not really the highest in the world.

When the time comes, what will the Dubai people do? Losing money will definitely have to be compensated, and it is estimated that the Dubai people are not afraid or care.

However, many plans have to be overturned and restarted by the bones, and a lot of half-hearted investment has to be made in the early stage, and it is possible to lose $1.8 billion in a word. (Of course, they can also choose to continue to build the Burj Khalifa for $1.5 billion according to the original plan, but they have to endure all kinds of unhappiness that "even if the Burj Khalifa is built, it will be the second in the world")

The most important thing is that Gu Kun knows that Dubai is not a real trench, but a trench.

It's true that the UAE has oil, but the Dubai tribe is not that oil-rich.

The real richest in the UAE is the Abu Dhabi tribe, with about 80 billion barrels, one or two percent less than Kuwait.

In fact, Dubai's oil is almost exhausted, and the stock is only one-tenth of Abu Dhabi's at most! That is to say, the outside world estimates that Dubai's oil is only 60~7 billion barrels.

More than 6 billion barrels of oil, compared with only more than 2 billion barrels of Lanfang, of course, is still a lot, equivalent to 2.5 times that of Lanfang.

However, it is not enough for these oils to support the concept card of "the city of global tyrants". Compared to other Middle Eastern countries and city-states, it is nothing.

Dubai's people are so lavish in the future, and the capital chain is not all supported by themselves, a considerable part of it is the prince / sheikh (this Sheikh was still a prince in the late 90s and before 2010, and he was the chief after his father died in the 2010s) to the Abu Dhabi tribe and begged "The Wuyue Sword Sect is in the same spirit, and we pretended to force you to have face".

In this way, if the first move of the Dubai is surprisingly successful and an instant hit, then it is possible for Sheikh Sheikh to continue to find Abu Dhabi people to support the funding chain.

It's like a start-up company that loses money, even if it loses a lot, as long as it occupies the golden sign of "ranking first in the industry", then there will naturally be a steady stream of venture capital to continue to invest money in you, so that you can survive until the day when the business model is smooth and profitable.

However, if this rhythm is interrupted, not only will they lose money, but they will not be ranked first in the industry, then many venture capitalists will have to weigh whether they have retreated.

The people of the Abu Dhabi tribe are not stupid, they know that some pits must be left early, otherwise the deeper they fall, the more reluctant they will be to the sunk cost invested before, and they will only accompany the road to the dark.

At that time, maybe Gu Kun only needs to give Sheikh Sheikh a few more setbacks, and he will be able to scare the investors who have seen the wind behind him and made the rudder wade into the water.

Anyway, it is impossible for Gu Kun to get the field back just in the legal field. At the same time as the legal claims, the rhythm of various public opinions, the technical content of the belittled Dubaiese, and the hype that makes the Dubais' fame and shame must all keep up.

And at this moment, letting Sophia lay out and manipulate Dean Tong and Qin Ya like marionettes to act according to the plan was obviously prepared for that wave of disgusting enemies a few years later.

It's just that Sophia is not a reborn, so she will see more comprehensively when she does the game, she doesn't even know that the imaginary enemy in Gu Kun's heart is Dubai, and she thinks that the imaginary enemy in Gu Kun's heart is the Wanwan people who are about to build the 101 building.

However, this does not affect the result, anyway, Sophia took care of the Wanwan people together, no matter who it is, they can't take advantage of Gu Kun in the overtaking of this problem.

A team of lawyers who start with millions of dollars a year is not raised for nothing.
