U.S. attorneys generally deliver their lawyer's letters by mail, which allows for direct evidence that they did their work. However, there are also lawyers who prefer to deliver the lawyer's letter in person, perhaps because of the bad taste of observing the desperate expression on the other party's face.

But Baldwin was destined to be disappointed, and he didn't see a trace of frustration, despair, or anger on Hu Wenhai's face. Yes, it's just calm.

"These inexplicable Chinese. Baldwin complained in his heart, just like the old guys in Chinatown. If these are the kind of people, the FBI's micro-expression experts who study behavioral psychology will all starve to death on the streets.

"So, Cold Spring Harbor Labs thinks it also has a certain share of interest in the patent of sildenafil?"

"Yes, my client believes that sildenafil is also part of the R&D clinical trials, so he claims to have at least 51% of the patent share. ”

"Although I don't know much about U.S. law. Hu Wenhai couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "Mr. Baldwin thinks that the court will agree to this kind of claim? If this case is passed, the major hospitals in the United States will become the largest and undisputed shareholders of the major pharmaceutical companies." ”

"Uh-h

However, in the United States, law is inherently a delicate and very specialized job, far from what it seems. Thinking you can sit back and relax if you have a patent? Bell, IBM, Microsoft, are all staring at you.

To put it simply, in the case of the little blue pill, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory could first file a case in the U.S. court to enter the patent reexamination procedure. The first is an ex parte review, which is a review procedure that can be initiated by anyone. The U.S. court received such a request for review and required an inventive step review of the patent. If a patent is deemed to be inventive, the patent can be declared invalid.

If this step is not successful, don't worry, Cold Spring Harbor Lab can still file an inter partes review process. It means a claim to patent ownership made by a party with interest. After a process of inter partes, expert witness cross-examination, scheduling, trial date, limited discovery and other procedural dispositions, the decision is made by the USPTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which generally takes at least one year.

Even so, the proceedings are significantly faster than in previous years.

If the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory still does not give up after the review procedure between the two parties, it does not matter that there is still a complete litigation process to go, which is the so-called post-grant review procedure. Once caught in this kind of procedure, the legal process is often calculated in years, and there are many cases in which there is no result in years, tens of years, or even patent invalidation.

But these things are unspoken rules after all, and there must be a set of passable arguments on the bright side. As a well-known patent attorney in New York City, Baldwin certainly can't have this eloquence or thickness, but he is just bullying Hu Wenhai for being a countryman from China.

"The U.S. law is very broad and profound, and we have a wealth of experience and procedures to deal with this situation. The sildenafil patent is just a special mistake, not a case of general significance. According to the provisions of China's Patent Law on patent invalidation, Article 91 of them has stipulated ......"

Baldwin's professional mouth spat out a large number of nouns, some of which Hu Wenhai had never heard of at all. This is not surprising, the phonetic language as a secondary language has this problem, the new vocabulary can not judge the basic meaning through the root, resulting in the field of professional vocabulary for ordinary people is completely foreign Chinese, greatly increasing the cost of ordinary people to maintain their power.

"In view of this, on behalf of my client, Mr. Watson, President of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, I hereby submit a lawyer's letter regarding the patent of the sildenafil drug, hoping that we can reach a settlement out of court to save both of us time, energy and money. ”

"Well, I'll think about it. Hu Wenhai took the lawyer's letter handed over by Baldwin's hands, and said that, but he didn't pay much attention to the letter on his face.

Oh, stupid Chinese, you will pay for your contempt.

For Hu Wenhai's carelessness in the legal documents, Baldwin was not only not angry, but also felt glad from the bottom of his heart.

After all, in terms of various factors, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory can be said to have nothing to do, and the original success rate is simply suicide. Baldwin also saw that the other party was a Chinese, and he had not even obtained a permanent residence green card in the United States, so he chose the most violent approach and directly wanted to confront Bo Gong with Hu Wenhai.

A cautious opponent is certainly not as much in line with Baldwin's liking as an opponent who doesn't know anything.

"In that case, we'll see you in a week. Hu Wenhai had already fallen out openly with Cold Spring Port, put away the lawyer's letter and simply walked out.

Andrew and Baldwin didn't send him off, but watched Hu Wenhai walk out of the reception room, and the two of them sat back down again to communicate about the next steps in the patent case.

Hu Wenhai didn't think about asking them to send him out, anyway, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is not a military restricted area, and after leaving the laboratory building, there are often people who come to visit.

However, not far from the door of the meeting room, a figure suddenly appeared in the corridor in front of him. Just listening to the sound of the high heels hitting the ground, Hu Wenhai had already sketched a pair of slender and white thighs in his mind.

"Miss Yulia, what a coincidence. No matter how hostile Hu Wenhai is to the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, he will always return some men's demeanor, so that he will not be cold to women.

"I think we can use 'Davarihi' to talk to each other, what do you say?" Yulia winked at Hu Wenhai playfully, took a few steps back and pushed open the door of her office next to her, and made a gesture of please.

Hu Wenhai was stunned for a moment, there is no need to ask what Davarich means to be a comrade, but Yulia is a Soviet and says Davarich to herself, this style of painting is not right. At this time, China and the Soviet Union still called each other revisionists. China had just beaten Annam, a staunch ally of the Soviet Union in East Asia, and the two sides had deployed millions of troops on the northern border.

However, Hu Wenhai didn't know why Yulia was always a kind of close ** today, and he actually followed her into the office.

"The production design of sildenafil has almost been carried out, and I think in another week or two, we should be able to come up with a complete design plan and carry out industrial production. ”

When she said this, Yulia was not sitting in her seat, but sitting at her desk, facing Hu Wenhai. A pair of long legs were overlapped, and they were dangling in front of his eyes.

"That's right. As if she had just remembered, Yulia took out a small blue pill from her clothes pocket, and asked with a smile, "This is your medicine, have you tried its effect?"

Hu Wenhai only felt the urge of blood and heat in his body, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "Yulia...... Davarich, do you think I really don't know anything about my medicine?"

"You didn't answer my question. Yulia jumped down from the table, walked up to him with a sound of kicking footsteps, looked into Hu Wenhai's eyes and asked again, "Have you used it?" ”

"I'm not old enough to need it. Hu Wenhai felt that the heat in his body was getting worse, frowned and took a step back, standing farther away from Yulia.

"Looks like you really know it. Yulia's gaze was smiling.

"Ahem......"

Hu Wenhai pretended to cough, of course he had never tried the little blue pill in this life. However, before he was reborn, he married a wife who had just graduated from college at the age of forty. Well, men, they don't always give in.

"Well, Yulia Davarishi, as a biochemist you should know that nitric acid isoamyl ester is not a non-toxic and harmless thing......"

Hu Wenhai simply pointed out: "Although you covered it with perfume, I just smelled it from a distance and had a physical reaction, you should be more uncomfortable, right? I advise you to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no shortage of people who will die of hemolytic reactions by using this thing." ”

Yulia's face changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly ran into a small bathroom in the office, and soon there was a sound of water flowing inside.

Hu Wenhai couldn't help laughing, he was born and raised in China, in fact, the thing of nitrate, isopentyl ester, was only heard of by name. However, as a person who can memorize the molecular formula after seeing sildenafil, it is not surprising that he thinks of the famous nitrate, isopentyl ester, according to his body's reaction.

As for what exactly is nitrate, isoam, ahem, then I can't say it here.

"Well, then we'll get straight to the point, Davarich. When Yulia came out of the bathroom, her wet hair was tied back and her breasts were perfectly framed by her water-stained blouse.

I don't know if it's because of nitrate, isopentyl ester, or if this scene is more effective than chemicals, Hu Wenhai had to bend down quietly.

"I can help you with the Cold Spring Harbor lab, but I want that picture!"
