Chapter 546 - Smelly Laptop
Xu Qing finished reading the document handed over by Eben, and looked ridiculous: "HP actually sued th laptop for plagiarizing the appearance of HP laptops!"
Eben nodded, and said with certainty: "Yes, HP said that a laptop they are working on has been copied by TH laptop, and their computer has registered a design patent a few years ago.
They postponed the development for a few years because the technical level at that time did not meet their requirements, but they didn't expect to be plagiarized by TH laptops.
HP also showed off their exterior patent registration drawings, which are indeed a bit similar to TH laptops in appearance. ”
Xu Qing looked at the patent map of the appearance of the HP laptop, and at a cursory glance, it was indeed a little similar, but if you looked at it carefully, there were many differences.
The B-side bezel, the C-side keyboard size, the trackpad position, and the D-side are even more different.
Xu Qing knows so many classic laptop designs in later generations, and there is no need to copy HP.
Xu Qing's brain turned a few times and figured out why HP would sue th laptop for plagiarism.
Let the laptop back with the infamy of plagiarism in appearance.
The most important selling point of a laptop, the most important advantage is the appearance.
TH The exquisite appearance of the laptop makes many consumers who see it have the urge to buy.
If you make the appearance of the th laptop stink, then it is a major blow to the th laptop.
How do you stink? Let the back of the th laptop be plagiarized by the name of appearance.
After all, not many consumers like to hear that others say that the products they use are plagiarized.
The Mi 8 of the Thunder Monkey King in later generations was scolded by many people for plagiarizing the iPhoneX, which affected the purchase of some people.
The lawsuit between Samsung and Apple for 7 years was also caused by appearance.
Apple sued Samsung because it thought Samsung's first-generation Galaxy phone was similar to Apple's phone and was plagiarized.
However, the lawsuit between Apple and Samsung is not only about appearance, but also about some other issues, of course, mainly about appearance.
HP has sinister intentions, they should know very well that it is almost impossible for them to win this lawsuit, but they should not want to win the lawsuit, just muddy the water and pour dirty water on the laptop.
The focus of this lawsuit is not to argue with HP in court, but to public opinion outside the court.
As Xu Qing expected, HP will start to create public opinion in the near future, saying that TH laptops are plagiarized.
In fact, many consumers are too lazy to use their brains, too lazy to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of public opinion, and they believe what public opinion says.
When they see public opinion that the th laptop is plagiarized from HP, they will think like this, even the appearance will be plagiarized, what strength does such a manufacturer have, it is too unreliable to do things, how good can their laptops be, don't buy them.
Anyway, HP's idea is to influence as many consumers as it can.
Xu Qing said to Aben: "Tell TH Group, let them pay attention to the public opinion created by HP, HP is likely to hype up TH laptop plagiarism."
Let th Group find more media, put the evidence that TH laptops did not plagiarize HP laptops, and post more evidence in major forums.
And the TH group also has to find some HP black materials, and use the same method to hype up those black materials, to see who has more black materials, and to see who can beat whom!"
TH Group has only been established for more than a year, and has only released a mobile phone and laptop so far.
HP has been established for nearly 60 years, and I don't know how many black materials there are, but TH Group can easily collect HP's black materials.
Exposing these black materials, Xu Qing doesn't believe that HP will be in the mood to create public opinion.
If HP stops doing things, TH Group will not continue to break the news.
This is an unspoken rule, if the TH group does not follow it, then HP will be ruthless and will also break the black news.
TH Group has no black material because of its short establishment, but Xu Qing's other companies, such as Future Group, Carney Group, and Sunlight Group, have some black material.
Although it is not a deadly black material, it has a little impact when it bursts out.
No big company is pure and flawless, and there must be black material, depending on whether the black material is big or not, whether it is fatal.
Aiben went out to convey Xu Qing's order, Xu Qing stretched his waist, and sighed with some emotion, TH Group can let the leading bosses of the mobile phone industry and the computer industry sue together.
Should he be happy or should his eggs hurt?
Motorola and Hewlett-Packard sued the TH Group because they felt that the TH Group was a threat to them.
If the TH group is not threatened, they will sue the TH group only after they have eaten enough and have nothing to do.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing felt that he should be happy, which showed that the development of TH Group was very good.
The mobile phone industry should be one of the industries with the most lawsuits, and later generations can often see this manufacturer and that manufacturer suing.
In later generations, a mobile phone involved hundreds of thousands of patents, and the development of mobile phones is becoming more and more homogeneous, and lawsuits are inevitable.
There are not so many patents involved in mobile phones now, but if Motorola sues the TH Group, we can know that the TH Group will encounter no fewer lawsuits in the future.
It's time to expand the legal department.
Xu Qing's company has a legal department with more than 30 people, which is shared by all companies.
Originally, this legal department was still sufficient, because Xu Qing's company did not have many lawsuits.
However, with the release of TH Group's products, it will inevitably encounter more and more lawsuits, and the current legal department may not be enough.
In the future, when the office building is built, Xu Qing will set up a legal department for each company, instead of sharing it as it is now.
After all, Xu Qing's company involves many industries, and different companies encounter different lawsuits, and the probability of winning the lawsuit will be reduced if only one legal department is relied upon.
Xu Qing opened the Future community to see how netizens reacted to Motorola and HP's lawsuit against TH Group.
"Wow, Motorola and Hewlett-Packard, the two giant companies, are actually suing TH Group together!"
"HP sues well, and those like TH Group that limit the number of sales should be sued. ”
"HP said that the laptop plagiarized their company's patent, and I looked at the patent diagram and thought it was quite similar. ”
"I don't think it's plagiarism, the patent drawings of th laptops and HP are still different in many places, and HP is jealous of th group. ”
"A company as big as HP needs to be jealous of TH Group. ”
"Because TH Group is a company founded by Xu Qing, HP is afraid that TH Group will threaten their current position, so they will start suing TH Group now to make TH Group stink. ”
"When you say that, I feel like HP is so bad!"
"There's nothing bad or bad, it's like that for big companies. ”
……
There are all kinds of posts, there are few posts that scold the th group for plagiarism, and there are many people who scold the th group for playing monkeys, Xu Qing doesn't know what to say.
