Brands take the competition very seriously.

If it were possible, they would definitely go all out.

They are all eager to bring out their best products and get a good ranking in the ring competition in Xiao Cheng.

If possible, we will definitely create the products with the best quality assurance.

However, the British, as the organizers, have long seen through all this.

The competition uses all market products.

That is, special offerings are not possible. Only mass products.

At present, the bearings of the three brands of Pterodactyl, Stegosaurus and Ryzen occupy the top three respectively.

In previous tests, they performed very well.

In general, the British are still relatively fair. It's pretty rigid though.

However, it is precisely because the test results of the Tyrannosaurus rex industry are very good that it has attracted the attention of all parties.

A man claiming to be from the Philodi Company found Kenan Paik.

He wants to buy the Pterodactyl brand.

Kenan Bai refused.

The other party then said some tougher and threatening words.

Bai Kainan hurriedly told Wang Buan.

"What is the origin of this Ferodi Company?"

"Patent trolls. ”

"You investigated?"

"Yes. ”

Wang Bu'an nodded thoughtfully.

Sure enough, it's a long time to see!

The path of life is getting more and more interesting.

The so-called patent trolls are actually the shit-stirring sticks of the market.

Internationally, there are two rogue patent companies that tickle the teeth, but have mixed feelings.

One is Ferrodi.

One is Bronck.

The two companies are in cahoots and are in cahoots.

They specialize in finding ways to buy patents for new inventions and technologies, and then hoard them to make huge profits.

Many small entrepreneurs, in the process of development, will definitely encounter various difficulties. Among them, the most common, is financial difficulties. That's where patent trolls come in. They will play the role of savior, with a charitable face, to coerce and induce you to hand over the product. Then you can get a large sum of money. Start a new life.

A small entrepreneur who is anxious, even if he is very reluctant, has no choice.

You can't just wait to go bankrupt and starve to death.

There are also companies that are about to go bankrupt because of poor management, and they may also have more patent rights.

The company is bankrupt, and it is useless to keep those patent rights, it is better to sell them at a low price and finally earn a little living expenses. As a result, there will be a lot of patent rights that will fall into the hands of patent trolls.

The methods of patent trolls are dishonorable. But it works very well. Over time, we will be able to concentrate a lot of useful patents.

When other companies accidentally touch these patents, they are going to take the lead.

Or, we'll see you in court.

Or, let's solve it privately. Give money to buy patents.

Benefits, like a snowball, more and more, bigger and bigger, and then more patents are collected.

Gradually, patents alone are no longer enough to meet their needs.

They began to target small companies that had a promise.

As long as they feel promising, find a way to buy them.

It's not a stake.

It's mergers and acquisitions.

It's just swallowing it in one bite.

It must be to take away all the rights of the small company. There is no scum left.

There is no doubt that such hooligans are not welcome.

As long as these two companies are mentioned, many people will scoff at them.

However, whether you are disgusted or sneered, sometimes, you just can't get around them.

Who told someone else to have a patent in his hand?

Whoever called it behind the other people's back, is Uncle Sam wielding a mace?

Both companies are headquartered in the United States.

Their branches, infiltrating the great powers, greedily sucked the blood of the newborn.

In the past two or three decades, there have been a lot of small companies, or technology founders, who have ended up falling under their butcher's knives and falling victim to them.

And those large companies that go bankrupt, their patent rights, are constantly falling into the hands of patent trolls.

If you're not careful, you'll end up with certain patents.

However, from the point of view of intellectual property protection, they are legitimate.

With the protection of the world's police, they can be described as unscrupulous and unscrupulous. It's like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats it. But it's always there.

"They claim to have a lot of SKF patents. accuse us of infringing their patents. Bai Kainan said angrily, "If we are unwilling to accept the merger, we will sue the court." When the time comes, we will freeze all our assets. Restricting the personal liberty of individuals. ”

"Do you believe they can do it?" said Wang Bu'an disapprovingly.

"I don't believe it. But be careful. ”

"Hmm. Be careful, yes. ”

Wang Buyan remembered the current hit movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

There are also hidden figures of patent trolls inside.

Some patent trolls will specifically look for pharmaceutical companies that have the potential to develop, and as long as they feel that they are profitable drugs, they will buy the patent rights and then sell them at a high price to make a huge profit.

For example, the ex-factory price of a certain drug may be 150 yuan per box. After the patent was purchased, the price soared to more than 1,000 yuan per box.

Since he has patent rights, no one else can accuse him with the law. On the contrary, the law must also protect his interests.

The reason why the prices of many life-saving drugs are high is secretly due to patent trolls.

In the past, patent trolls were not popular in China.

The main reason is that the protection of intellectual property rights in the past was insufficient. No good.

Now, with the gradual deepening of intellectual property rights in the hearts of the people, the protection is becoming more and more strong, and patent trolls are also possessed like cancer.

No way, the windows opened, fresh air came in, and flies came in.

This is true for the pharmaceutical industry.

The same goes for industrial manufacturing.

Many developed countries have the painful experience of being victimized by patent trolls.

Because of their ugly reputation as patent trolls, they are also known as patent cockroaches, patent sharks, patent pirates, and so on. It can be seen that people hate it.

However, no matter how much you hate and dislike them, this group of cockroaches still exists, and hides in the shadows, ready to attack.

Previously, IPCom, a German patent troll, had sued the well-known Apple for infringing one of its mobile phone technology patents, claiming 1.57 billion euros (about 2.2 billion US dollars). Fortunately, it was rejected by the court in the end. The reason for the failure is because I met Apple, which has a strong team of lawyers. It didn't succeed.

If you change to another company, do not have a strong enough lawyer team, or have enough litigation funds, it is likely to be a tragedy.

You know, a lawsuit is very costly. Even if you win the case, the price to pay is very high.

A typical patent infringement lawsuit, even if successful, costs more than $1 million.

If it fails, it's hard to say.

In 1995, Pitney Boes sued Hewlett-Packard for infringement on the first three of seven "claims" of a patent filed in 1982. On June 4, 2001, the two parties reached a settlement, and y Boes continued to sue Apple, Panasonic Electronics, Samsung and other eight electronics factories with this patent.

Knock on the blackboard and highlight the points. Four hundred million dollars. $400 million in 1995.

In 2006, a six-year lawsuit between Canadian BlackBerry maker RIM and Californian patent firm NTP was finally settled, with BlackBerry paying $612.5 million.

Highlight the point. Six hundred million. Dollar.

It's no wonder that patent trolls are becoming more and more rampant. It's huge!

In September 2012, a Texas-based technology company called Data Engine Technologies LLC filed a lawsuit against Apple's Numbers spreadsheet software for infringement of its patents and demanded damages from Apple. This company was not the original owner of the patent, but had purchased it from Borland a few years earlier.

According to Patent Freedom, the number of patent lawsuits initiated by NPEs (patent trolls) around the world has been on the rise every year, from 588 in 2004 to 4,602 in 2011. Apple, HP, Samsung, AT& Big-name companies such as T, Dell, Sony, and HTC are among the most frequent defendants in the NPE litigation offensive, with Apple, for example, facing 44 such lawsuits in 2012 alone. Apple has also paid a significant price for this.

Huaxia Company, which has walked out of the door, has also encountered many patent lawsuits. It can be said that I paid a lot of tuition.

"They are on the edge of popular justice, armed with a gold-absorbing blade built with professional ability, and in a small circle with a high concentration of capital, they play a floating probability between drama and certainty, like a calm gambler and a quiet assassin. People envy their gains, fear their silence, hate their uninvited, they are the most dazzling existence in the patent circle!"

This is the most poetic description of patent trolls.

As an aside, a certain domestic mobile phone giant that fell not long ago also has a tendency to become a patent troll.

Just when everyone is about to forget who this domestic mobile phone giant is, it has played a "patent troll" to Xiaomi, which has submitted an IPO, saying that the Mi Note4X, Mi 6, Mi Max2, Mi Note3, Mi 5X and other 5 models on sale by Xiaomi Technology infringe its patents, and demand to stop selling and compensation!

It is estimated that Rebus was also depressed to death when he heard the news.

But what can be done? This mobile phone giant claims to have more than 10,000 patents.

We won't make mobile phones in the future.

Let's fight patent lawsuits in the future.

In any case, the law clearly states that patent rights are unique. is inviolable. If you want to use my patents, you'll have to pay.

Why did Wang Buan prepare a strong team of lawyers in advance?

It's for this day.

The day will always come.

There will always be some pests on the body of towering trees.

Of course, a team of lawyers can't solve everything. There must be other means.

However, what can be put on the table openly is the team of lawyers. All other means cannot be made public.

"Make an appointment with them. I met them personally. ”

"Okay. ”
