Chapter 329: How Can It Be That Easy (3)

The licensing of patented materials, although it is a few simple words, is a very tedious and complicated work, involving many legal terms and confidentiality agreements.

As for how to grant this patent, Yan Yun had considered it before.

I just didn't expect to respond to this so quickly.

The person who came from Europe, Yan Yun handed over the Allegro family's lawyer team in Europe for communication.

On the U.S. side, it was also handed over to the experienced Ian family lawyers.

In terms of patent protection, Europe and the United States are very mature, both in terms of legal provisions and enforcement.

On the same day, in addition to European and American companies, there were also several domestic companies.

It is not so easy to deal with these few domestic companies that want to get authorization.

The most difficult thing to deal with, Yan Yun and Yan Ling still need to deal with it themselves.

In addition to being the "hometown father" in China, but also because two of them have already found the Yan family brothers and sisters after the press conference of Maison Yan II ended.

Yan Yun still wanted to cover the materials in his hands for a while, so he didn't pay attention to anyone who came to find him.

Now that we have agreed to authorize companies in Europe and the United States, we have not authorized domestic companies that want to obtain materials, and it is impossible to say anything.

However, in China, intellectual property rights and patent protection can only be regarded as just beginning.

Ten years ago, Microsoft did a big job in China to protect its intellectual property rights, and all pirated users' indos were bluescreened.

This is obviously a particularly legitimate behavior, and there will not even be any movement in Europe and the United States, but it has attracted a lot of scolding in China.

Using an indos system costs money, and many people feel as if they have heard a joke.

Many people say that they have used the system for more than ten years, and they have never seen what the charging indos looks like.

Later, Microsoft actually relented.

It didn't take long for me to be "forced" to change my strategy and remind me that it would be over if the genuine version had a better experience.

MICROSOFT DID NOT KILL ORDINARY USERS' COMPUTERS ANYMORE, BUT DIRECTLY SOLD THE SYSTEM TO BIG MANUFACTURERS SUCH AS DELL AND LENOVO.

Microsoft's concession also made many people feel that it was justice to use a pirated system.

So I continued to use the piracy system without any burden, and I still had a feeling of long live piracy.

At that time, the game had risen a bit, and many people were using the pirated system, playing genuine games, and then they had to scold the pirated games.

These people, at the time of the blue screen incident, may have been students.

Slowly, some of these people have graduated, started their own businesses, and the company is doing well, and they want to get venture capital.

only to find out that you have to pay the price for using a pirated system.

Once your company is small, Microsoft will file a lawsuit against you.

Once you become a defendant, it will not be as simple as asking you to pay for several systems.

A casual complaint could cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.

If you buy a system at that time, the cost you need to pay is often only a few tenths of the compensation amount.

Of course, hundreds of thousands of dollars in "reparations" are talking about small companies.

An additional expense of hundreds of thousands of dollars can be a full year's worth of profits for many small companies.

If they have already become listed companies, but they are still using the piracy system, the amount of compensation that needs to be paid in the end will be sky-high.

In the face of the fines that need to be paid if they lose the case, there will also be people who choose to refuse to enforce them.

If you decide you want to end your company, you might be able to do the same if you don't want to see a future for your company.

However, if your company is in the development stage, especially in the stage of looking for investment, then a lawsuit is likely to cause you to lose all investors.

Microsoft generally does not sue companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy, and chooses companies with good development momentum, which is why one sue is the same.

Even if you choose to chat privately at this time, it is much higher than if you use the genuine version at the beginning.

The protection of intellectual property rights in China is difficult, and it is too difficult to assert its rights.

Yan Yun handed over this difficult authorization work to the law firm where his high school colleague Jin Jin now works, Shili Law Firm.

In the field of intellectual property protection, the law firm of which Jin Jin is now a partner has been at the forefront in China.

Even business giants such as Apple, Dell and ABB have entrusted the infringement of relevant intellectual property rights in China to Shili Law Firm.

Materials are a subject that is changing with each passing day, and even if Yan Yun has been covering it, sooner or later similar materials will be studied.

Instead of holding on, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the material is at its hottest, and do a good job of licensing and intellectual property protection.

On the day it was put on the shelves, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and what took up the most of Yan Yun's time was to discuss the licensing of new materials in China with Jin Jin.

In the middle of the night, Jin Jin was woken up by Yan Yun's phone call, and just wanted to get angry, Yan Yun immediately said very officially that he wanted to "talk business" with her.

Shili is a foreign-related law firm, and being caught out of the bed in the middle of the night is not a particularly small probability event.

In this way, before Jin Jin had time to get angry, he began to chat with Yan Yun while talking about business.

The two people who haven't been on the phone for too long, as soon as the conversation box is opened, it feels a little like they can't close it.

directly talked about the time when Yan Yun was going to give awards to hip-hop singers who came to New York by private jet from other cities.

【Talk about the heart】

Xiaomo has never wanted to stand on the moral high ground, saying that piracy is a moral issue.

Because this is not the case, even the starting point super boss, the cigarette ash fell gloomily, saying that he started by reading pirated books.

It's really a matter of habit.

Europe, the United States, and Japan have all experienced periods of rampant piracy.

Compared with most of the post-95s and post-00s who have not yet started to make money, the post-70s and post-80s who have begun to grasp their own economic initiative are more difficult to accept that they should pay.

Paying for copyright is still a very rare thing in the process of growing up in the post-70s and post-80s.

Listening to songs costs money, and watching videos on the Internet costs money, which was something that was not understood at all in China ten years ago.

That's why, a decade ago, Microsoft was slammed for the massive blue screen incident, but now people are slowly getting used to it.

If you don't want to watch ads, you want better service, better sound quality, and better experience, so you need to pay for it.

Quietly waiting for the arrival of a golden age of online texts without piracy.

I've heard that some people only read the genuine version to see the author's words, and some people start for the sake of an author they like.

Yesterday, there was a super cute girl with a sweet song, saying that she was a fan of "Meet the Perfumer", and as soon as she came in, she rewarded Xiaomo with an alliance leader.

Flattered, Mo Mo Da @ Chu Yiyan.

(In today's author's words, I would like to share with you an interesting story about piracy and Mo Dad.) )
