The cooperation was reached, and then the two did not rush to discuss the details, but simply chatted.

When Xia Yu said that he would not be an adult for another month, Davis stood up again in surprise and said a few words of admiration.

This is the case with these industry elites in the United States, once they recognize your ability, the mind of the friendship is almost instinctive, and they will never be stingy with praise words.

Of course, Xia Yu is not to show off anything, but to apply for an invention patent as a minor, which requires some specific procedures.

After a while, the two began to analyze and analyze the remaining forty-five patents one by one.

At this time, Xia Yu's previous sufficient preparations showed results

"In just three days at most, I will compile all these patents into the format prescribed by the USPTO (United States Trademark and Patent Office), and then I will check with you. After carefully reading all the patents, Davis smiled and asked, "Will you still be in Las Vegas at that time?"

Xia Yu nodded: "I think so, Mr. Davis." ”

"So, is the authorization contract signed now or three days from now?"

"Sign now, I believe in the credibility of Inover and Mr. Davis!"

"It's my pleasure!"

Next, Davis briefly introduced some processes, and took out the power of attorney and affidavit he carried with him, which are all necessary documents stipulated by UPSTO.

Finally, there is the contract text jiàn.

According to the agreement between the two parties, Xia Yu, on behalf of Polestar Electronics and the inventor himself, entrusted Alan Davis of Inova to act as a full agent for 45 patent applications and follow-up work, and the agency fee was a total of 50,000 US dollars, including sorting out the patent format.

This price is relatively expensive, and according to the industry rules, about half of it can go into Davis's own pocket.

But with years of experience and connections, he is more familiar with UPSTO's rules, knows how to describe patents in the most standard-compliant format, and is better able to find the right people to speed up the patent review process.

That's the value of this type of person.

In fact, in Xia Yu's plan, even if these patents can be guò. He doesn't expect to use these patents to make endless infringement accusations, but more to defend and increase his confidence.

Those communications, digital transmission, and intelligent patents are sky-high, and most of them are already in the hands of Nokia, Nortel Networks, Motorola, LG and other companies, and he only hopes that there will be a cross-licensing bargaining chip at that time.

Unless there is a chance to collect some, such as taking advantage of the financial crisis in three years......

Of course, it will be difficult, but there is still a glimmer of hope.

After completing this qiē, Davis did not rush to leave, but asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Mr. Xia, according to my shallow understanding, these patents of yours seem to be distilled around this handheld device that already has a prototype......"

Xia Yu was really shocked when he heard this. This guy is really sensitive enough, and he asked quietly, "Mr. Davis has seen similar products or patents?"

It's a gag, it's strange that he's seen it.

And he also said that these patents should have hope for guò, that is, other companies do not have similar applications.

In fact, it is very simple, the burst of design inspiration can only be stimulated at a specific time and in a specific direction.

For the smartphone market, that's when the first generation iPhone was released as a node.

Even many R&D patents have a market vane, and then funds and manpower will be instantly concentrated. In a short period of time, a large number of novel research results have come out.

So without the iPhone, no one would really think that smartphones could do that, and the R&D and design engineers of major companies would not focus on the intelligence of mobile phones - without iPhone, Nokia and Blackberry would be classics!

Davis also heard what Xia Yu meant. He waved his hand and said, "NoNoNo, Mr. Xia, these excellent designs and inventions are the best! I mean, some of these patents are matched to each other, but a lot is missing." If you have a relevant product model in mind, you can refer to some professional books and papers to supplement those patent families with derivative patents......"

Reminded by Davis. Xia Yu instantly grasped the point.

Yes, since there is a patent for touch screen swiping, what about the patent for double-click zoom on the picture and browser? Although the technology of multi-touch is not mature, can it also apply for a patent for control first? At the same time, what about the next patent for multi-touch metering?

As soon as this idea was opened, coupled with Xia Yu's understanding of later iPhones and mainstream smartphones, more ideas popped up in an instant......

However, he was still very calm on the surface, and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Davis for the reminder, I will ask the R&D department to step up research when I go back." ”

Davis didn't notice Xia Yu's momentary distraction, and continued: "I hope that I will have the honor to continue to serve Mr. Xia at that time!"

Next, he introduced the patent examination process.

The first step is to check for duplication to see if the patents overlap with those already filed by other companies. This is about three to five months, if not, the relevant examination department of UPSTO will judge the specific patent project description, claims, etc., which will be completed as soon as one to two years, and it is likely that additional materials will be required, and the longest ten years may be possible.

This is already the result of Davis using his professionalism and credibility as a guarantee, and he can shorten the time as much as possible.

No way, wait!

Xia Yu had all kinds of ideas in his mind at this time, and he was in a hurry to see Davis away, and he didn't go to the exhibition site, so he went back to the hotel room and got busy.

……

In 2005, CES officially became the world's largest electronics exhibition. Not to mention the record-breaking 2,400 exhibitors, the number of visitors is expected to reach 150,000.

In addition, the coverage of television, the Internet, newspapers and magazines has become even stronger.

No single location can be used for such a large-scale exhibition, so pavilions have been set up at three locations: the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Alex Park Hotel, and the Hilton Hotel.

Among them, the conference hall of the Hilton hotel is a concentration of digital products, covering digital cameras, DV, audio and video players, car electronic products and other large categories, although MP3 as a representative product of a new cool lifestyle, it can still only be divided into a small part.

Polestar's booth is also eight square meters, and it's in a remote corner, which is hard to find among the dazzling billboards.

Xia Yu took the booth map and searched for a long time before groping here.

But it's pretty though. Looking closer, the distinctive Chinese style color and logo are obvious......

The organizing committee of the exhibition provided a list of exhibition service companies, providing materials and manpower for the construction of various exhibition areas, and Polestar did not save this money, but directly customized a design package of 3,000 US dollars, which was set up in advance by Sun Bin and others.

But the tragedy is that next to the Polestar electronics exhibition area is Patriot Digital!

They spend a lot of money, they are famous, they have been coming to CES for several years and have experience, and they directly rent nearly three times the size of the site. The design style is also renovated and very distinctive. In addition, there are many facilities, such as a wall-mounted TV that plays promotional videos, dynamic high-definition picture projection of products, and more than a dozen beautiful display shelves, filled with various models of MP3.

In addition, the name of Patriot is also resounding, and it is the largest player in Huaguo at present, and the flow of people is obviously much better than elsewhere, and many viewers and customers come to test the machine and participate in various small games.

It also darkened the booths next to it, including Polestar.

In fact. There were very few visitors and traders at the Polestar booth from morning to now, and it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were no 100 leaflets to go out.

"Let's have a lot of birds, why don't you think about it anymore? I think there can be a wall-mounted TV here. Liu Na said a little worriedly.

"Sister Na. We didn't even have the video material ready. A new employee from the marketing department replied.

"You can put the video materials of the Polaris K2 press conference, the edited version of the introduction of the new K2 machine, I remember who Mr. Luo asked to make a copy. ”

Xia Yu walked over and just happened to hear this, and said with a smile: "This is a good attention!"

I said hello to a few people. I asked in detail about the situation here, and he couldn't help it for a while.

According to his plan, the S1 is not going to be released here. It's just an audition. If you can win any award, then you will put the new machine directly on the platform, if it all fails, you will simply not let it go, go back and have a press conference and then start selling.

"Okay, then I'll get in touch quickly, Xiao Chen, you go and ask Mr. Luo for video materials." Liu Na listened to Xia Yu's agreement and hurriedly arranged it.

She and Sun Bin are now both managers and are considered shrewd and capable.

"Where's Sun Bin, this kid?"

"It's not Mr. Xia, you arranged for him to go to other booths to see the situation, he went out with a small notebook and didn't see anyone for a long time. ”

"Well, has the manuscript been sent?"

"I posted a press release, which was featured on several major websites and forums, but there was no response. Liu Na's job is still media public relations, Jian Yì said: "Several domestic media came to our booth in the morning, saying that they wanted to give Mr. Xia an exclusive interview, and I said that I would wait for you to come back and make a decision." ”

Xia Yu's mobile phone number is currently only one, and it has basically not been revealed to the living, and very little is known in the media.

"There's nothing to say about the interview now, just wait, the design awards will come out in the afternoon, and we'll wait for the results." ”

He told Liu Na his thoughts, and sighed to himself: "I hope S1 will fight for breath." ”

……

Because there are so many categories involved in the CES exhibition, the awards for each product category are announced separately, and the categories are also divided.

Like all the design awards, they will be released on the 6th, and the portable player will be in the front position, so the results of the press conference at 5 o'clock in the afternoon will be available.

Therefore, as long as the representatives of the manufacturers rush to the special press conference hall in advance according to the time on the exhibition manual, they can get the results as soon as possible.

Xia Yu looked at the time, there was still more than an hour.

He went directly to the mobile phone exhibition area in Area A on the same floor, thinking about whether he could inspire more derivative patents.

After being reminded by Davis, he immediately found a professional paper explaining the principles and techniques of patent application after returning to his room in the morning, and then searched for it according to "memory", and finally tossed out more than 60 derivative patents.

However, I basically picked out everything I could think of, and it is estimated that the proportion of people who can pass guò will not exceed half.

But he came with a purpose, apparently disappointed.

Although there are hundreds of booths in the entire A area, Nokia, Samsung, Motorola and other giants alone occupy dozens of square meters, and all kinds of new mobile phones and accessories emerge in an endless stream, but they are all products of the "old era".

However, as a future competitor, he still walked through these booths from beginning to end, and also took out a lot of notes.

Skystar uses a lot of smartphones here, but Polestar is developing feature phones that can learn a lot.

I didn't expect this to be more than an hour, and when he suddenly came back to his senses, it was already past six o'clock!

Fortunately, the release hall was also in Hilton, and he hurriedly trotted into the elevator, but as soon as he rushed in, he ran into Fang Zhanping who was talking to a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Xia, this is going to the press conference hall? It seems that Polestar Electronics is exhibiting the next generation of new machines?"

Fang Zhanping looked over, he paid attention to Polestar's every move, but the secrecy work was done well and the news had not leaked.

In the past few months, the research and development progress of AigoFlash has been very smooth, and this time I came to the exhibition to bring six new products, among which the world's first MP4 player that supports FLASH, aigoFlashPlayer, is definitely expected to hit the innovative product award!

Without waiting for Xia Yu to reply, Fang Zhanping pointed to the middle-aged man next to him and introduced: "Mr. Xia, this is Mr. Jiang Haoming, the general manager of the Huaguo District of Cowon Company. Mr. Jiang, this is Xia Yu, the president of Polestar Electronics. ”

"Mr. Xia, I have admired you and Polestar Electronics for a long time, and today I saw that I was really a hero!"

Jiang Haoming looks like a typical senior professional manager, in his early forties, his hair is neatly combed, and his accent is still from Bay Island.

South Korea's third-largest Cowon company, Xia Yule is happy!

Samsung and iRiver also entered the Chinese market at the end of last year because of their popularity in China, and are currently hyping their first iAudioG3 with BBE sound in the market.

Xia Yu really wants to thank it, if it weren't for their big public relations in the past two months to praise BBE, Polestar S1 would have cost a lot more money to go public!

He narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Long admiration!" (to be continued......

PS: The second update has arrived. Hey, I'm just a little bit more serious.,Toss around the information and often wrap myself in.,Let's take the plot as the core.。

Forget the year, Fang Yuanyuan, fsgsgsrg, LumiaH, and forget each other's five old friends.

That, all the arrears have been replaced, so let's continue to recommend, the monthly pass!
