Chapter 16: Drawing Wages from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Hujiang, Lu Jiazui, a luxury hotel near AllBright Law Firm.
One of the partners, barrister Jin Chengyi, was entertaining guests there.
A few days ago, he had just won the patent lawsuit between Wanda Real Estate and Feng Jianxiong, and the two utility model patents involved in Feng Jianxiong's case were officially invalidated by the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Administration shortly before the verdict was pronounced.
Of course, according to the relevant provisions of the Patent Law, a patent that has been declared invalid is "invalid ab initio". However, this kind of "ab initio invalidity" is only at the level of patent grant fees, etc., and does not conflict with the prior judgments of other people's courts.
In other words, those who had a lawsuit with Feng Jianxiong before, and then withdrew the lawsuit and settled, it is impossible for them to get back the money they have given from Feng Jianxiong.
Therefore, tonight's dinner has a saying: first, it is to celebrate, second, it is also to properly contact feelings, and third, it can also show off his ability in front of the client.
In addition to lawyer Jin, there are several unknown staff members of the Second Intermediate People's Court, as well as a rich second-generation Yanei of Wanda Real Estate who entrusted him at the beginning - it is said that he is the distant nephew of the boss, so he has a little temper, and he often runs out of lawsuits regardless of the cost of litigation.
"Lao Jin, you are really capable. I heard that Feng Jianxiong touched the porcelain dozens of times, and he got all the handles, or you turned him over, come, let's take one. ”
The developer's little mouth was open, and naturally a woman beside him helped him pour wine, and it was full of Louis XIII. Then the little open touched a glass with Jin Chengyi with three points of drunkenness, and drank it all in one go.
"Ahem, Wang Shao, the wine is almost over, next month I will go to Japan to check the liver, the doctor told me to drink less recently." After Jin Chengyi finished drinking, he pretended to be overwhelmed and excused the beauty on the stage to continue pouring wine, and then blew up with Wang Shao in a nutritious business.
"Actually, I'm just doing my best to win this lawsuit, and it's nothing more than throwing money and time to win. What is really rare is that Wang Shaojian is righteous and righteous, and it is clear that the money lost for out-of-court mediation is not as good as the litigation fee and the declaration fee, so he insists on fighting the lawsuit to the end. Wang Shaozhen is a model of implementing the spirit of the rule of law, and in order to fight against the underworld and fraud forces, he even ...... money."
As soon as Jin Chengyi blew here, he was rudely interrupted by Young Master Wang, who was a little drunk: "Nonsense, I'm a Wang Mou, and what I see is a battle of righteousness! Money? Money is a yarn! Old Jin, it's not that I'm talking about you, you have the ability, it's just that you usually have a lot of flies and dogs, and you are not atmospheric! A problem that can be solved with money, is that also a problem?"
Jin Chengyi was very involved in the play, showing admiration on the ground, gave a thumbs up, and sighed: "Wang Shaochang is bright! This is an authentic thing! Come on, come on, if you want me to say that we should all pay tribute to Wang Shao!"
"Husband, you are so righteous, no wonder so many sisters are willing to follow you. The two bright makeup and tender models around Wang Shao who hugged him left and right were also blowing on their backs with waves, and they were touting greasyly.
WANG SHAO WAS BLOWN TO THE SKY AND PROUDLY POSED FOR A WHILE.
It's a pity that Jin Chengyi's mobile phone rang, interrupting Wang Shao's POSE time, which made him really feel a little uncomfortable.
Jin Chengyi frowned slightly, and glanced at his mobile phone, but it was his secretary calling. He looked embarrassed and said with a smile: "Wang Shao, Qin Xian, you drink first, I'm sorry, there is a lot of business, take it first." ”
Several other people from the Second Intermediate Court who came to rub rice and red envelopes were not so particular, and they were polite: "Lao Jin, you are at your own convenience." ”
Jin Chengyi walked into the bathroom of the box, closed the door, and then picked up the phone.
The voice of the female secretary immediately came from the other end: "Mr. Jin, last time, that Feng Jianxiong asked you to negotiate early tomorrow morning, saying that you will definitely be interested." ”
When Jin Chengyi heard that it was not a big customer, his face suddenly fell a little.
What kind of thing is Feng Jianxiong? Is he still qualified to interrupt his friendship with Wang Shaola?
He snorted out of his nostrils and laughed: "Feng Jianxiong? Is there a mistake! Where did you go last time when he asked him to let go of Lao Tzu? This kid didn't even appear in court on the day of the verdict, and now he thinks of coming to give in? Is he sick?"
"No, listening to him, it seems that there is something else, not the last lawsuit. He also said that if you don't see him, you will definitely ...... ...... will regret it" When she said the last sentence, the female secretary's voice was already extremely euphemistic, and she was still slandering while speaking.
Feng Jianxiong can say presumptuously, "If you don't see me, I will definitely regret it."
But she is a little secretary, how can she directly convey it to her employer? If it is really a very important matter, if it is wrong, in the future, Mr. Jin will blame her for being an errand runner.
It's hard to be a secretary.
"So arrogant, okay, since he sent his face to me to fan, I reluctantly saw him, and told him that he would not wait for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. ”
Kim Sung-yi hung up the phone and returned to the box.
Wang Shao didn't ask him about business, and first mocked him with meaty words: "Lao Jin, is it not good for your kidneys, it takes so long to come out of the bathroom once." Hahaha, if you want me to say, money is all outside the body, no matter how much you earn, your body has no energy to bear, so you can't make a lot of money?
This remark caused everyone to sigh: "Wang Shao, you are a genius, we are not as smart as you, how can we do so many things in three hours?" ”
"Hahaha, Lao Jin, you are getting better and better at talking. Wang Shao was so happy that he didn't break it, and after laughing for a while, he returned to the topic, "What kind of big business did you call just now?" ”
Jin Chengyi didn't want to say that in the past, when he received other cases in business, he would not talk to irrelevant customers. After all, he also wants to leave a good impression of "being able to keep secrets" in front of customers - if he can tell the details of another customer because of Wang Shao's words today, tomorrow he will not tell Wang Shao's details in front of other customers?
It's a pity that it was Feng Jianxiong who was looking for him just now.
No matter how Jin Chengyi thought about it, he felt that the guy couldn't make any waves, and he just wanted to have fun when he turned over the affairs of this guy, so he decided to say: "I won't hide it from you - in fact, it was Feng Jianxiong who lost the lawsuit who came to the door." ”
Wang Shao, who had just asked casually, was aroused by curiosity: "He, he has lost, what are you looking for?"
Jin Chengyi pasted gold on his face: "Begging for mercy! Actually, when I was working on this case, I had already checked that guy out, and I knew a lot about his black materials, so he wanted to beg for mercy!"
"Yes, then I'll have to wait for your good news. Wang Shao teased.
The atmosphere at the wine table quickly relaxed, and this little episode did not cause much trouble.
After a meal of wine as a color match, the guests and hosts parted happily.
……
The next day, Jin Chengyi had a hangover, and he arrived at the office at 9 o'clock, and he didn't even eat breakfast. When I sat down in the office, I asked the female secretary for a boat porridge and vegetarian bun takeaway, and then asked for a bowl of refreshing American ginseng tea.
While sobering up and reading the documents, it didn't take long for the female secretary to report that Feng Jianxiong and his party had come.
"Feng Jianxiong, what is he doing?" Jin Chengyi was stunned for a few seconds before remembering last night's phone call. He drank too much and forgot about it at first, "Oh, remember, let him in." ”
Jin Chengyi put a golden knife on the sofa, so that he could pose as a victor for a long time, and did not forget to refill the ginseng tea with some hot water.
At this moment, the door of the reception room was neatly pushed open, and Feng Jianxiong, wearing a casual T-shirt and beach pants, appeared at the door with Shi Nicole, who was also simple and cool, carrying a document bag.
"Mr. Jin, you look good, it seems that you have been going well recently. Feng Jianxiong went straight to the one opposite Jin Chengyi, and waved his hand to signal Syncore to pour two glasses of water into the water dispenser, as if this was his own residence.
"If you have something to say, you can say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go. It's not too late to beg for mercy after losing the lawsuit. Jin Chengyi was not polite to Feng Jianxiong, and still maintained a psychological advantage.
Feng Jianxiong took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Of course I lost the lawsuit, but Mr. Jin, you don't seem to have stopped very much recently-I see that you have also operated a lot of patents, shotgun betting, and want to learn from me to make money." With your and my grudges, aren't you afraid that I will stumble you?"
As he spoke, he waved to Nicole, and the girl immediately handed him a folder. Feng Jianxiong flipped over the spread on the coffee table, tapped rhythmically with his right index finger, and then pushed in the direction of Jin Chengyi.
Jin Chengyi's face was finally a little solemn, and he began to look seriously.
Feng Jianxiong held the cup and said lightly: "The intellectual property agency that has cooperated with you has a few spare efforts and your related patent applications are all here." I know how well each review is going, what may be problematic, and what may be trying to learn my business model. ”
Jin Chengyi's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he remained silent: "So what? Do you plan to be like me, 'give back to the other in the way of the other'? It's not that I said you, how much financial resources do you have." I apply for one, you study one, invalidate one, can you afford it with me? You have said that I use the shotgun method, maybe 10 notes, or not necessarily one I will really use to operate, the cost of one is less than 10,000 yuan, if you want to, even if you threaten me with this trick. ”
To apply for a utility model, if only the legal cost is considered, and the R&D cost is not considered (that is, the R&D content is actually copied from the prior art, but it is more cleverly speculated, and the patent agent is familiar with the search habits of the examiner of the State Intellectual Property Office, and copies those that are not easy to be found to be copied), in fact, 10,000 yuan is not used.
However, if you want to invalidate a patent, it will definitely cost a lot of technical analysis and more energy involved in legal affairs. Therefore, the shotgun method casts a wide net to make a game, and it is not afraid that the other party will crack it one by one.
Feng Jianxiong's financial resources and manpower cannot be compared with Jin Chengyi at all, how could Jin Chengyi be afraid of such an empty threat?
What's more, Kim Sung-yi usually cooperates with more than one agent in the field of intellectual property, and they still have a lot of legitimate business. If Feng Jianxiong wants to target him, he will have to spend a lot of energy to distinguish those "suspected porcelain touching applications confessed by Jin Chengyi" from the massive "daily normal applications".
No matter how you look at it, Feng Jianxiong can't threaten himself.
He was thinking like this, but Feng Jianxiong's next sentence was Qi Feng abruptly shattered his illusion: "Who told you that I want to study your applications one by one and then abolish them one by one? Is this kind of repetitive work my style Feng someone? Mr. Jin, I advise you, although you say that if you are a lawyer, you should concentrate on being a lawyer, but you should also care about what news is happening in the academic world!"
Jin Chengyi listened to Feng Jianxiong's words and was in doubt, but Feng Jianxiong stretched out his hand and got a copy from Shi Nicole - of course, it was the reply letter from the reviewer of his "Legal Research" journal.
Kim Sung-yi had a sense of foreboding, and the sense of danger he had cultivated over the years had finally made him nervous.
He grabbed it, glanced at it a few times, and cold sweat trickled down his face.
"You...... You're going to cut off all your peers' jobs?! You're crazy!"
