Chapter 172: Easy to Dodge with an Open Gun
Wang Anran shook his head, he naturally knew about the compensation, and the Ministry of Justice had specially reported to him.
Internationally, in order to ensure the performance of the contract between the two parties, it is normal to have liquidated damages.
However, Huaxin Technology can also transfer contract risks through contracts with foundries.
The problem of supply basically does not exist, and in law it is nothing more than infringement or endangering national security, which Wang Anran is even more fearless.
When the Athlon™ CPU began to be developed, Wang Anran began to register relevant patents, and one-third of the more than 700 patents involved in the Athlon™ processor have been registered in various countries, and the other third is on the way to registration, while the last third cannot be registered for various reasons.
In addition to the more than 700 patents and other technologies used, Huaxin Technology has entrusted more than a dozen patent review companies to review whether there is infringement one by one, but if there is a slight infringement tendency, Huaxin Technology will either seek authorization from the other party or redesign the circuit to circumvent it.
In terms of patents, Huaxin Technology has spent a lot of money, and the entire Athlon™ CPU has spent tens of millions of dollars on patent registration and patent examination.
Even lawyer Coaster, director of the international legal department of Huaxin Technology, believes that Huaxin Technology has been extremely strict in intellectual property rights.
In this regard, Wang Anran has always been happy to do his own thing.
Wang Anran knows very well that patents are a double-edged sword, which can hurt both others and himself.
Often, your unconscious behavior will eventually lead to tragic consequences and even the collapse of the company.
In Wang Anran's view, no matter how much is done now, it is not too much.
In fact, his worries were well founded.
On March 12, 1996, Intel filed a lawsuit in federal court, alleging that Huaxin's Athlon™ CPUs infringed a total of 37 Intel's patents, and requested the federal court to prohibit the sale of Huaxin's Athlon™ CPUs in the United States in view of the continued impact on Intel's interests through the sale of Huaxin's products.
The case was heard by the Federal Court on the same day.
When the news broke, public opinion was in an uproar.
"It's no wonder that Huaxin Technology's CPU performance can catch up with Intel's Pentium processor, which turned out to be plagiarism and plagiarism. ”
"I kind of admire Chinese, they can even copy the CPU, and they copy it very well, better than the Pentium processor......"
"We should protect our technology from leaking, God, otherwise, the Chinese will soon overtake us." ”
The crowd was fierce, and some extreme frenzyes even took the computer of the Huaxin Technology Athlonc CPU they had just bought, threw it from a tall building onto the road, declaring that they would never use anything produced by Chinese again.
And this scene also happened to be captured by the media.
"What is certain is that the public is extremely angry about Huaxin Technology's plagiarism of Intel patents, and they do not want to see Huaxin Technology's CPU in the US market. ”
Congressman Epreus made public his proposal, asking the United States to declare Huaxin Technology a dishonest company and revoke all patents owned by Huaxin Technology at the same time.
"It's shameless for thieves to steal technology, but they also registered patents for the stolen technology, which is madness, and I strongly recommend that their ......patents be eliminated."
A reporter asked: "Mr. Epulus, can you reveal that Huaxin Technology stole that company's patents?"
Eprous took the microphone and said, "Is this still a guess? If you think about it with your ass, you can know that their technology is plagiarism in addition to plagiarism!"
"Huh!"
In the midst of all the accusations against Huaxin Technology, the Crisis Public Relations Office of Huaxin Technology held a press conference in the United States for the first time, but before the spokesman could take the stage, he was smashed back with leather shoes by the angry American melon-eating masses.
In the newspaper, Huaxin Technology's statement cannot change the direction of public opinion at all, and on TV, major programs are even more one-sided in support of Intel and support the United States officials to take tough measures against Huaxin Technology.
When the news reached Wang Anran, he shook his head helplessly, at this time, Huaxin Technology was in the limelight, even if Huaxin Technology explained again, no one listened to it, because in the eyes of arrogant Europeans and Americans, they did not admit that Huaxin Technology's technology was better than them.
Now there is a reason.
finally had an outlet to vent, and naturally a thief's hat fell firmly on the head of Huaxin Technology.
The domestic media was once again silenced, and Huaxin Technology was once again reduced to an isolated situation.
At this time, Zhang Lei was surprised to see that his boss was actually interested in visiting the Forbidden City.
"I've been in Yanjing for so many years, Shan Lei, believe it or not, this is the first time I've visited the Forbidden City. ”
Shan Lei said: "What is there to believe, I was born and grew up here, and this is only the third time." ”
"Isn't it a little unfair, I'm the first time and you're the third time. ”
"Eh, Wang Anran, do you have to compare everything. ”
Walking on the bluestone bricks, the mottled red walls are printed with the shadows of clusters of trees.
It was sunset, and the red light of the setting sun shrouded people in a hazy afterglow.
How many emperors and generals once dominated here, and now, only the city wall remains.
Wang Anran suddenly felt a sense of gloom, and sighed: "My Great Qing Dynasty is actually dead!"
Poof!
"Wang Anran, you really think of yourself as an emperor, shouldn't you think about three palaces, six courts, and seventy-two concubines. ”
Wang Anran shook his head and said to Shan Lei seriously: "If you think about it, it's that seventy-two is too much!"
"How many do you want?"
Wang Anran looked at Shan Lei and said: "I am a more democratic person, how many of them, I have to ask the queen what she means!"
Shan Lei snorted: "You can only have one of what she means!"
"Honoring the Queen's ......Will"
“......”
......
Early the next morning, Wang Anran received news that the federal court's handling efficiency was unprecedentedly high, and on the eighth day, a ban on sales was issued.
At the same time, thirteen machine companies collectively sued Huaxin Technology for breach of contract with the Haidian District Court and demanded that Huaxin Technology compensate them for their losses.
The entire amount of compensation was calculated as if it had been settled for a long time, totaling $687 million.
Wang Anran looked at the whole list.
Why do you fantasize about technology also popping up, do you fantasize about technology entering the overseas market? It has something to do with you, and there is no ban on the sale of Huaxin Technology's products in China.
Shameless!
Putting down the newspaper, Wang Anran took a sip of water, and now that the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods had emerged, he was relieved.
If you're afraid, you're afraid of cold arrows, and he's really not afraid of anything!
Wang Anran made a phone call to the Administration Department.
Zhang Lei, notify the relevant persons in charge of the crisis public relations department, information security department, legal department, and sales department to go to the conference room for a meeting at three o'clock. ”
"Okay, Mr. Wang!"
