Chapter 200 Patents in hand

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of April, the weather was getting hotter, Sun Mingfan spent nearly a month on the third factory rectification has achieved initial results, many disobedient thorny workers were dismissed by him, the rest of the people are honest, that originally seemed to be a soft persimmon Sun Mingfan, now has begun to establish his own authority, disobedient to get out!

After Sun Mingfan's drastic rectification, the appearance of the workers of the three factories has been completely renewed, the machine tools should be repaired and repaired, the maintenance of the maintenance, all kinds of materials are also in place, and the Electric Power Bureau has also supplied electricity, these are the conditions for Sun Mingfan to negotiate with the Machinery Bureau when he proposed the contract, and he did not spend money, which was temporarily borrowed.

The third factory was about to start, and at this time, Huo Tianting and Sun Mingren came over from Hong Kong Island.

"Brother Wang, Xiaohu, Liu Lang, look, what is this?"

Huo Tianting took out a red book from his leather bag, which was dozens of pages thick, all in English.

"Patent certificate!"

Liu Lang recognized it.

Open this leather book, which records the patterns designed by Liu Lang in detail, such as what are the characteristics of the structure, how to match the color, and so on.

There are many types of patents, including invention patents, which refer to new technical solutions proposed for products, processes or their improvements.

There is also a utility model patent, which refers to a new technical solution suitable for practical use proposed for the shape, structure or combination of a product.

In addition, there is a design patent, which refers to a new aesthetic design made of the shape, pattern or combination thereof, as well as the combination of color and shape and pattern of a product.

The Transformers designed by Liu Lang naturally belong to the third type, and this category is also divided into many types, such as toy model design, architectural design, mechanical design and so on.

Liu Lang looked at it, the protection time of design patents is ten years, and they have to pay patent fees every year, which is a lot of money, but it is only a drop in the bucket for them.

"Liu Lang, it is not easy to apply for this patent, it takes half a year for ordinary products to just go through the procedure, but we used all the power of the Huo family on Hong Kong Island to get it down in three months!"

Huo Tianting shook his head as he spoke, as if this process left a deep memory on him.

"That's right, in the past three months, I have accompanied my second brother, pulling those judges to fly around, from Hong Kong Island to the United States, and when I landed in almost a few days, it is really not easy to think about it!"

Sun Mingren also said on the side.

"What does the United States say there?"

Liu Lang asked.

After all, the original design of this Transformers came from a company in the United States, although it was far better than the other party in its own design, but that company would definitely not give it up.

"Other designs are nothing, it's Optimus Prime and Megatron, they said we plagiarized each other's designs, of course we weren't convinced, so we invited some international design masters to judge the two, and it took more than a month to win!"

Sun Mingren replied.

"It's really hard for the two of you!"

Liu Lang is indeed very grateful to the two of them, although this matter has a lot to do with their interests, but it is still very difficult to get this patent within three months, without the two of them, even if the country comes forward, it is almost impossible to get the patent, and it is still the "convenience" of Hong Kong Island's current sovereignty that has played a role.

"Several, we came this time not only to Liu Lang to send a patent certificate, but more importantly, to urge this side to speed up production, in the fastest time to make the finished product, you must know that the United States knows our design, although we have a patent, but after all, this patent is limited, if they change the structure and color slightly to avoid the scope of protection of our patent, if they go on the market in advance, it will be very disadvantageous to us. ”

Sun Mingren said on the side.

He is right, the transformers designed by Liu Lang have made detailed provisions in terms of structure and color matching, if the other party moves in these two aspects, he can avoid the protection of the patent, after all, the pattern design is just a kind of open-mindedness, as long as it is seen by others, it can almost be copied, there is no secret at all.

"Brother Huo, Brother Sun, don't worry, I asked you to apply for a patent at the beginning only for the shape of the robot, but they can still be transformed!

How to transform, our opponents don't know, even if they can make a similar robot, they can't transform, or after transformation, it's much worse than us, that's useless. ”

Liu Lang had already kept an eye on it, and did not hand over the transformed graphics to the other party, even Huo Tianting and Sun Mingren only knew the shapes of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee after transformation, and they didn't know what the remaining robots could become.

Appearance is one thing, deformation is another, appearance is easy, but if you want them to turn into various cars and airplanes, you have to rely on the design of parts, which is basically Liu Lang himself came up with.

The parts he designed are diamond-shaped, some are triangular, and some are round, and each part is not a big deal when put alone, but when combined, it becomes a car and an airplane, Liu Lang believes that in eight or four years, or even in the next three or four years, no one can do this alone, only his brain can think of it.

"Having said that, it's better to be careful, Akihito and I plan to make the first batch of goods within two months, and now it will be listed in the United States, and a piece of the market will be laid down, as long as it has a foothold, it will be easy to do in the future!"

Huo Tianting said.

"Within two months...... Then it's almost time for the Olympics, I think our Transformers can use the Olympics to make a promotion in Los Angeles!"

The Olympics are held in mid-July, when all countries from all over the world gather, and the publicity will be twice as effective with half the effort.

"Hehe, Liu Lang, you're right, in fact, this is also our idea, this Olympics is different from the past, this Olympics is held by private associations, the organizers have tried their best, what betting, exhibitions, etc., as long as they can make money, so we must speed up, Liu Lang, let's go together when the time comes!"

Huo Tianting took the initiative to invite Liu Lang.

"Second child, where is the need for you to invite Liu Lang, he is an athlete in the National Olympic Games, and he will represent the country in the United States to win glory for the country. ”

Wang Zhendong said with a smile.

"What? Olympic athletes? How is that possible?"

Huo Tianting and Sun Mingren were taken aback, what project can Liu Lang's small body participate in?

"I'm an athlete in the Mental Olympics, not an athlete in the Physical Olympics, but there is a big difference between the two!"

"The Olympics are the Olympics, I don't think there's any difference, and I heard my dad say that you not only want to participate, but the task of winning the gold medal is handed over to you, this time I see it! The physical Olympics may not be able to win the gold medal, but you are the most hopeful!"

Mu Xiaohu flattered on the side.

"Wow, it's amazing, Liu Lang, you're so powerful, whether it's physical strength or intelligence, the Olympics is a gathering of the world's top people, if you can participate, it means that you are already one of this group of people, you are only a few years old, and in a few years, others will not be able to compare at all!"

Huo Tianting also exclaimed on the side.

"Let's not mention this first, the things in the factory are almost over, let's go and take a look!"

"Alright, alright, let's go,"

Hearing that they were going to the factory, Huo Tianting and Sun Mingren stood up at once, and the two of them couldn't wait.
