"Mom knows that you like Chinese food, so the chef I invited to my house today is the chef of a Chinese restaurant at the north exit of Ikebukuro. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" In the small but bright antique hall, Michiko, who was sitting in front of Fang Ji, said to Li Xu with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Mother, for your kindness. Li Xu, who was sitting in front of the other square, responded respectfully, and then sighed in his heart.

There are four dishes in front of him, not much, squirrel sea bass, stewed crab roe lion's head, crystal trotters and chicken soup boiled dried shreds, but they are full of color and flavor. In particular, the crystal trotters melt in your mouth, and there is no jelly taste at all, which is unexpectedly delicious.

It's just that...... If he can, he prefers to eat heavy Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, Su cuisine is too light, what is the difference between eating and Japanese food?

Well, there is still a difference, although the level of the gourmand is not high, he can still taste it, however......

Forget it. Li Xu shook his head in his heart, as long as tonight's dinner passed smoothly, don't worry so much? To be honest, tonight is a split meal system, and my mother did not ask to kneel on the cushion to eat, which is already very good.

Eating on your knees is an absolute ******, even if there is a cushion to cushion, Li Xu doesn't like it very much anyway. So, his mother often used this to squeeze him, but every time she set an example, which made people very painful.

"My mother used to eat like this when she was a child. She also said so.

I didn't see your legs kneeling in the shape of a circle? Li Xu wanted to complain like this, but after all, he just thought about it.

The next is basically a picture of a mother's love and filial piety, Michiko asked about some things in life while eating, and Li Xu in turn cared about his mother's body and praised this Su cuisine as very authentic.

Then, Michiko asked, intentionally or unintentionally, "Ah, by the way, Yoshimi, what the hell is that D-pad?"

"Hmm...... A design for use on a game console. Li Xu raised his eyebrows, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Because he has accumulated his current capital by video games, his parents are no strangers to this industry, even if the D-pad sounds unfamiliar, he will quickly get the information if he tells his subordinates, and there should be no situation where he doesn't understand, so why do you ask at this time?

"Can this be patented?" Michiko then asked.

"Of course not, the D-pad is just an improved design and not enough to be patented. Li Xu replied subconsciously, and then frowned, "Is there something wrong?"

"Nintendo's Yamauchi called and said they could help you patent the D-pad. Michiko replied lightly.

"Nintendo?Yamauchi Pu?" Li Xu immediately understood what was going on, and it was even more strange and a little funny, "So how can he help me apply for a patent?"

He said...... "Michiko grabbed a slice of fish meat with the tip of her chopsticks. Holding it with his hand below, he tasted it very elegantly and showed a satisfied look, then wiped the corners of his mouth and continued: "He said that he can apply for the copyright of the cross key for you." ”

Li Xu, who took a small sip of the water cup, almost squirted out, raised his head and asked with some surprise: "Copyright?

"yes, that old guy has a good idea. Michiko smiled, not taking it to heart at all.

But she didn't know that Li Xu was complaining frantically in her heart at the moment: Oh, is this the world's corrective power? When a controversy arising from copyright does not exist, it will be replaced by another controversy that may arise due to copyright? Big news, we must study it carefully, if we can find the law of the emergence of the corrective power, then it will be developed, what kind of money will we make, hurry up and cultivate immortals and become gods to destroy the world!

Okay, he's going crazy again, and if you don't care about him, you'll be fine in a while, but it's kind of funny what he's talking about.

In another time and space, in Li Xu's previous life, in the late 70s and early 80s, there was a notorious example of using copyright to exploit loopholes.

The Patent Act was born to make money by better monopolizing technology by capital, and by co-opting those who invented technology. So even though England enacted the Patent Act in the 17th century, it was not until the two world wars that the redivision of spheres of power was curbed by the blatant copying of each other.

After all, no matter how well the system is blown, there are still four questions: who formulates the system, who amends the system, who interprets the system, and who supervises the system.

Well, in another time and space, the nominal invention of the Rubik's Cube was the Hungarian Erno Rubik.

This Mr. Rubik, a sculptor and sculptor, invented the Rubik's Cube in order to teach his students, and although he saw a business opportunity and successfully launched the Rubik's Cube in a toy store in Budapest in '77, it didn't sell well because he couldn't sell it.

Then, for a series of reasons such as the Iron Curtain, it did not spread internationally, even if a mathematician named Thibaud Loach, a Hungarian expatriate who liked it very much and helped sell it at the Nuremberg trade fair in Germany.

This continued until '79, when a British toy dealer saw the Rubik's Cube in Hungary and quickly realized the opportunity and approached Rubik to work with him.

But then came the problem, Rubik only applied for a domestic patent in Hungary, not an international patent, and the application deadline had already passed in 79 years.

To make matters worse, other countries have similar patents, and the Rubik's Cube is not a high-tech thing, and a chemist named Garari Nicholas in Massachusetts, USA, even applied for a similar patent in '72, except that he used a magnet to put those small squares together.

In this way, it can be expected that once the Rubik's Cube is put into the market, all kinds of follow-ups will come, and there will be no money at all. But as mentioned above, there will always be loopholes, and the toy dealer got his brains up and applied for the copyright of the Rubik's Cube for Rubik.

This thing is not a virtual item like a paper novel.,There's a Mao's copyright.,But they succeeded.,So the original third-order Rubik's Cube became their exclusive product.,Even if all kinds of piracy continues.,But theoretically, only their third-order Rubik's Cube is genuine.,And catch the piracy and sue a quasi.。

So, when many people talk about the copyright of the Rubik's Cube, they are quite dismissive of the British toy company - which is why Rubik is the titular inventor of the Rubik's Cube.

And in the current time and space, because Li Xu understands this history, he borrowed a sum of money from his family in 74 to get the snake out, and immediately made the Rubik's Cube out, and seized the time to apply for a patent before Rubik, that is, before January 75.

As for the Massachusetts chemist Nicholas, oh, he was unfortunate enough to suffer a major blow at the end of '74 and was in dire need of a large sum of money, and had to sell some patents that seemed unpromising to interested people to raise money.

In addition, not only the third-order Rubik's Cube, but also the four-five-six-seven, and the thirteenth-order Rubik's Cube, Li Xu applied for patents, and then pasted all the money earned by the greedy snake into it and borrowed a sum from his family, which was fully rolled out and publicized.

So, between 75 and 80 years, this little gadget has become popular all over the world, selling at least 10 million copies, and the idea toy company that my father helped set up, held its first Rubik's Cube Championship in San Francisco in 77 years, and there were definitely many more participants than Budapest in another time and space.

There was no patent right - even if the toy company applied for copyright, when it entered the United States, it was still sued by the chemist Nicholas and won - there was no lack of work, let alone copyright, everything was so natural, no different from all ordinary business events in the world.

However, what Li Xu didn't expect was that when he used the D-pad to show Nintendo's sincerity of cooperation, the old man Yamauchi Pu would actually think of using the "help apply for the D-pad copyright" to show his goodwill.

"In that case, then I'll take it. Under his mother's scrutinizing gaze, Li Xu shrugged his shoulders, "I hope he won't regret it in the future." ”

If the application is successful - and it looks like it will be successful - it means that Nintendo will have to pay him for every handheld or red and white phone that is still in development in the future.

If Yamauchi Pu knew about Nintendo's future glory and the sales of the handheld computer alone exceeded 100 million, would this decision make him feel painful?

But then again, this candy is not completely sweet and without side effects, and it can be expected that after Nintendo uses the classic D-pad, there are still people who want to develop game consoles, and this design will inevitably be used.

Therefore, if Li Xu accepts the kindness of "copyright", those game console manufacturers will also have to pay him, and he will be roasted on the fire rack in the future like Rubik.

It's just that...... Even so, so what?

"Oh, that's it?" the mother raised an eyebrow, as if it was a little strange.

"Of course, it's hard for me to ......," Li Xu paused here, and then suddenly put down his chopsticks.

I said why this guy wanted to show affection, but instead of coming to me directly, he had to tell his mother about it in a roundabout way.

"He's so afraid that I'll swallow his Nintendo?" Li Xu couldn't help laughing, and then shook his head.

Well, he finally figured out what he had overlooked, and congratulations, but Michiko immediately gave him a critical hit: "It's me, not you, understand this, Yoshimi." ”

"Well, it's you, Mother. Li Xu immediately rolled his eyes.

"So Ryomi really has no interest in Nintendo?" Michiko immediately asked.

"Yes, of course, I'm interested in video games, but that's not necessarily what I'm going to do in the future. Li Xu put on a serious face.

Michiko nodded, not knowing whether to approve or put it aside, and then, her fingers tapped lightly on the table a few times: "So, Liangshi, Mom still has a question for you." ”

"Yes, Mother. Li Xu picked up the water cup very casually.

"You see, Momoe Yamaguchi is three years older than you, Sayuri Yoshinaga and Kurihara Komaki are eighteen years older than you, and Teresa Teng is nine years older than you," Michiko asked seriously, "Ryoshi, don't you have a mother-love complex?"

Poof!
