Chapter Forty-Seven: The Americans Are Coming
That night, Yang Weining came to Lu Yao's house for dinner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For Yang Weining's arrival, Chen Rong can be said to be welcome.
Yesterday, the CAD software developed by Yang Weining caused a sensation in Rongfei, which has already reached Chen Rong's ears, for this promising young man, Chen Rong is a mother-in-law and son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.
Not to mention the relationship between the Lu and Yang families, Yang Weining and Lu Yao are childhood sweethearts, and in Chen Rong's heart, Yang Weining has long been regarded as the future son-in-law.
She even asked Lu Yao's opinion in private, but Lu Yao was too shy, and as soon as her mother mentioned this topic, Lu Yao blushed and pretended not to hear it.
However, as a mother, Chen Rong has long understood Lu Yao's character, and naturally can see that her daughter has a good impression of Yang Weining.
Because of this, whenever Lu Yao was at home, Chen Rong thought of a way to let Yang Weining come to the house for dinner.
Yang Weining naturally didn't know that Chen Rong still had this kind of thought, he came to Lu's house this time to talk to Chen Rong about things.
Yang Weining had heard Lu Yao say before that she had an uncle who went to Xiangjiang in the fifties of the last century and was a professor at Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology.
Yang Weining came over today to ask the Lu family for help.
In this era, domestic scholars want to apply for international technology patents, and it is most convenient and fast to go through Xiangjiang.
Yang Weining's eyes were dark about Xiangjiang in this era, and the uncle who contacted Lu Yao through the Lu family became the best choice.
Since Lu Yang went to the China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center in Mianyang two days ago and has not returned, only Chen Rong and Lu Yao are at home, Yang Weining has no choice but to talk to Chen Rong.
After dinner, Yang Weining said, "Aunt Chen, I heard Yaoyao say that she has an uncle in Xiangjiang?"
Chen Rong was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Yes, Wei Ning, why are you asking this?"
Yang Weining said with a smile: "Aunt Chen, can you help me contact him, I am going to Xiangjiang in a while, and I want to ask him for help with something." ”
Lu Yao on the side said curiously: "Brother Wei Ning, what are you doing in Xiangjiang?"
Yang Weining said: "Didn't I develop that CAD software newly? I just applied for a grant from the institute to go to Xiangjiang to register the international copyright and patent rights of this software. ”
Chen Rong didn't know anything about patents and copyrights, but it sounded very lofty, so she smiled and said: "Okay, I'll help you send a telegram to Lu Yuan, if you go to Xiangjiang, let him pick you up, after all, if you don't know the place, it's good to have a care." ”
Yang Weining was overjoyed and said, "Aunt Chen, thank you!"
Chen Rong said with a smile: "You kid, what is there to thank for, it's just a matter of effort." ”
Lu Yao also smiled: "Brother Wei Ning, you went to Xiangjiang, but don't forget to bring me a gift." ”
Yang Weining laughed and said, "Don't worry, even if I forget everyone, I won't forget our family Yaoyao!"
Lu Yao's beautiful eyes suddenly turned into a moon with a smile.
……
The next day, Yang Weining went to Lu Wenjun, on the one hand, to apply for a vacation to Xiangjiang, and on the other hand, to ask the unit to issue relevant certificates.
At this time, Xiangjiang was still under British rule, and the Sino-British joint declaration on the return of Xiangjiang had not yet been signed.
However, this Yang Weining is not ready to take the regular route, otherwise according to the normal procedure, it is possible to wait for a year and a half.
Yang Weining is ready to let his father come forward, directly through the relationship of the family, and complete the procedures for going to Xiangjiang within half a month.
Yang Weining is preparing to apply for a PCT international patent.
PCT is the English abbreviation of Patent Cooperation Treaty, which is an international treaty on patents.
The treaty was signed in 1970 and entered into force in 1978, and developed countries such as Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea are basically signatories to the treaty.
The advantage of this treaty is that patent applicants can file international patent applications through the PCT route and apply for patents in multiple countries, which can save part of the effort spent on filing multiple applications at the same time.
Since China is not yet a signatory to the PCT Treaty, applying for a PCT international patent through Hong Kong has become the most realistic option for Yang Weining.
An international patent application under the PCT is first filed by the patent applicant with its competent receiving Office, published internationally by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and conducted by an International Searching Authority.
The international patent application is subject to international preliminary examination by the International Preliminary Examining Authority, if requested by the applicant. The purpose of the international search is to provide prior art information relating to the international patent application, and the purpose of the international preliminary examination is to provide preliminary examination opinions on the novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability of the international patent application.
After the international phase of international search, international publication and, if required, international preliminary examination, the patent applicant proceeds to enter the national phase.
This patent application usually takes one to two years to complete, but as long as Yang Weining submits the relevant application, then there is a 30-month patent protection period, and no one else can file a similar related patent again.
This is also an important reason why Yang Weining is in a hurry to go to Hong Kong to apply for a PCT patent.
However, when he told Lu Wenjun about the idea of asking for leave, he was rejected by Lu Wenjun.
"Xiao Yang, I'm afraid you won't be able to go anywhere in the near future. ”
"Can't go anywhere? Why?"
Yang Weining was slightly stunned.
Lu Wenjun handed him a document and said with a smile: "Look, in two days, an American delegation will visit the 611 Institute of Rongcheng Aircraft Industry Company, and I am going to show this software to the Americans. ”
Yang Weining was stunned, he didn't expect that he had only been in Rongfei for a month, and he would have to deal with the Americans.
When Yang Weining came to Rongfei in later generations, the relationship between China and the United States had long since changed from the current ally to the main competitor.
The United States even regards China as the only superpower that can compete with it for hegemony in the future, and the cooperation between the two countries in the field of aviation is completely interrupted, but in this era, the United States is the best partner for China, which makes Yang Weining feel more or less awkward.
As for explaining this software in front of the Americans, whether it will lead to technical leakage, Yang Weining is not too worried.
The key to software patent application lies in the relevant algorithm and design idea, even if the Americans have the source code of AUTOCAD in their hands, don't think about studying its design ideas for a year or two, at that time, Yang Weining has already completed the patent application.
What Yang Weining has to think about now is how to maximize the benefits of CAD software in his hands, the Americans come over, such a big wronged leader, if he doesn't slaughter him fiercely, he is really sorry for his identity as a traverser.
