Yang Rui signed several faxes and arranged for James to help him register the patent for the buffer. www.biquge.info According to his contract with his lawyer, the latter will help him register a series of patents in major countries around the world.

At the same time, Yang Rui sorted out a few reagents that he had used recently, found out that there were no records, and asked a lawyer to register and apply for a patent.

It is not necessary that a reagent without a record will be patented.

The patent submarine tactic is popular in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, that is, when a new technology or new drug is invented, only the patent application is carried out, but the patent is not approved, and when the opponent or other company develops the same patent and spends a huge amount of money, it takes advantage of the earlier registration time to preemptively pass the patent.

However, in the fierce competition in the world of biology and medicine, patent submarines are already a conventional tactic, like landmines, and large companies have to spend money to avoid stepping on them, and they have to bury them and wait for others to step on them, and small biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies are miserable, often spending millions of dollars in funds, and in two or three years, they end up in a long patent lawsuit, and they may not be able to win.

This is also one of the reasons why Yang Rui has never entered the field of medicine, coenzyme Q10 is a production process in the final analysis, there are not too many mines to step on, if it is replaced by a new drug, Yang Rui's small body is likely to fall into the minefield, don't think of it for the rest of your life.

Applying for and registering a patent will also cost Yang Rui tens of thousands of dollars, and even if this fee is counted, ordinary Chinese cannot afford to play foreigners' patent games, and for now, Yang Rui's expenditure to recover the buffer seems to be far away.

After all, he does not have sales and production channels under his name.

However, most biotechnology companies do this, slowly accumulate patents, accumulate more, look for venture capital to invest money, and when the venture capital money is almost spent, they begin to seek listing, if the listing fails, then bankruptcy protection, and then bankruptcy, the whole process, no different from Internet companies.

Sometimes, big pharma companies will buy individual patents, or simply entire biotech companies, which is a good opportunity for companies that are in good shape to recoup their costs and even make a big profit, and for companies that are on the verge of collapse, this is the time when they have no choice but to be slaughtered.

But in any case, the accumulation of patents, like the accumulation of papers, is an essential work within the biological system, perhaps not the most important, but it is indispensable.

Yang Rui cleared the laboratory, which aroused everyone's interest.

The next day, Tang Zhong hurried over and asked about Yang Rui's patent, saying: "You should be cautious when applying for a patent for something made in school, if you are sued, you may be in trouble." ”

"Do you want to hand it over to the school?" asked Yang Rui expectedly. When he was in graduate school, everything he made was owned by his supervisor or the school, but of course, he didn't make anything in the end, and he felt like he had saved a lot of money.

Tang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head, and said: "I don't mean that, I mean to say, you'd better not use the funds given by the school to apply for a patent for yourself, and it's not that you can't apply for it...... Hey, this is a confused account, but you definitely can't hire a lawyer, let the school pay you the lawyer's fee, there is no precedent for this. ”

Yang Rui was surprised: "It means that what I made in the laboratory can be patented for myself, as long as it is not spent on lawyer's fees?"

"It's hard to say, so it's a confusing account, but don't you think that Guancun is engaged in computers?" Tang Zhong looked at Yang Rui, blew his eyes, and said: "You are still young, if it is my suggestion, don't put your mind on this, the national policy can't be said, in case there is any change, don't let yourself suffer." ”

"Oh...... The lawyer I hired paid for it myself, so is there any problem with the patent application being in my name?"

Tang Ji, a scientific researcher who spends his own lawyer's fee, is probably the first time he has seen it, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Will the lawyer's fee be very expensive?"

"It's not cheap anyway. "Although Yang Rui is a local tyrant, he has not spent tens of thousands of dollars indiscriminately, if it is useless, how good it is to use the money for experiments.

Tang Zhong heard him say that it was not cheap, and he knew that it must be really not cheap, so he thought about it: "It must be okay to apply in your own name, otherwise who will apply for...... However, if you want to reimburse the school, Professor Cai probably can't approve it, and you will be issued with another ticket. ”

"I'm not prepared for reimbursement. Yang Rui smiled bitterly.

"You can't be reimbursed, and you don't want to charge patent fees from the school. Tang Zhong still knew more about this information, and whispered: "The misers of the school definitely don't want to spend money on things they can't see, they would rather give you an allocation than give you this money, and they can't repay the account." ”

"I'm not prepared to collect royalties from the school. "How much patent fees can a school pay, Yang Rui really can't look down on it.

Tang Zhong didn't care if he really thought so, nodded when he heard it, and said, "You just know it in your heart, you just published the cell, and many people are staring at it, by the way, the associate professor of your laboratory, has anyone been chosen?"

"Nope. Yesterday, a few people came, but it turned out to be lively, and no one signed up. ”

"If you want me to say, you'd better talk to them yourself. There are no associate professors in my lab, so you want people to come to work in your lab, and you have to be calm, you say yes. ”

Yang Rui was a little embarrassed. Needless to say, it must have been the word "I am in charge of my laboratory" that he shouted yesterday, which is already arrogant for people now.

However, since he has taken a step, Yang Rui is not ready to retract, he does not really need an associate professor to be his deputy, this is more because Professor Cai is not worried that he will lead a laboratory independently.

Compared with the help of an associate professor, Yang Rui cares more about his authority in the laboratory.

As a researcher, he can be submissive to his leaders, he can giggle at home, he can murmur in front of his students, but he definitely wants to establish the authority of the laboratory.

Scientific research can be discussed, but experiments must be authoritative. Two researchers have a disagreement, each completing their own experiments in the lab, and they always figure out what is right and wrong. But in the course of any experiment, swaying from side to side is a big no-no.

When the experiment cannot be carried out according to the established steps, it is meaningless to succeed or fail, because you don't know why you succeed or why you fail, which has no scientific significance, and biotechnology is not traditional Chinese medicine.

Yang Rui was not going to "invite" the associate professor, but waited for the associate professor to send him to the door, and said, "I'm not in a hurry to ask for my own laboratory, can I stay here with you for a while?"

Tang Cong's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "You can stay as long as you want, and my funds can also be distributed to you." ”

"Then I'm welcome, I'll make a few results first, and then see what everyone's attitude is. Yang Rui is very confident, others have to do a JMC-level paper in a unit of one or two years, and he may not even need a month to make this paper now.

At such a speed, as long as the journal is not too bad, it will eventually attract people.

The so-called planted sycamore tree has its own phoenix. The only way to continue the life of scientific research, the only way to inherit the legacy of scientific research, and the only way to burn the life of scientific research is to write papers.

No one cares what Hawking looks like, no one cares how greedy Edison is, and no one cares how taciturn Chen Jingrun is.

At first, the dignified associate professor will naturally not be able to wipe his face, but most of the time, face is not as valuable as he imagined. In the same school, those who have achieved remarkable results will naturally always hold their heads high, and those who lack achievements should bow their heads when borrowing instruments, apply for funds, and evaluate professional titles......

For the little-known scientific research ape, the 20-year-old young man in the office dared to laugh wantonly, such humiliation is nothing compared to joining Yang Rui's independent laboratory.

Tang Zhong is even more willing to Yang Rui to stay in his laboratory, he doesn't expect to hang his name, but as long as the name of Tang Zhong's laboratory can be hung up, this is a huge benefit.

Nowadays, Tang concentrates all his thoughts on applying for a national laboratory.

Yang Rui also has the heart to help, his own laboratory has not yet been built, and the unit column is empty.

With the support of Tang Zhong, Yang Rui accelerated the speed of the experiment, and in a few days, the preliminarily completed data was sent to the computer department of the university.

Here, there is a lot of data to be processed, and another slow and long queue.
