"Patents?" Xu Yindong asked.
He knew there was such a thing as a patent, but he only knew it. The factory where he used to work was not involved in foreign trade.
All the things produced are sold in China, and even if there are any patents abroad, they can't bother him.
However, now he knows that the Huaxia factory is mainly an export enterprise, and the same is true of toys now, and the same is true of electronic game consoles in the future. This cannot be left without considering the matter of patents.
"There should be no patents for chips." Xu Yindong touched his chin and said uncertainly, "There is not a foreigner in the factory, I think it is more reliable to let him inquire." ”
"That's right." Yu Sheng also reacted at this time. Xu Yindong's understanding of foreign countries is similar to his own, and he asked them by himself, didn't he ask Yu Blind.
Isn't it nonsense for a blind man to ask a blind man what an elephant looks like?
Turn around and find Nick and ask him for help asking about the microprocessor patent, what exactly it refers to. Is it the overall structure of the chip, or the manufacturing process, or whatever.
Nick saw that he was so attentive for the rest of his life, and he also wrote down the questions in a small notebook, along with those things that he was going to say to his boss.
Boss Nick, when he heard Nick ask this question, he thought the Chinese side was really interesting. I don't really think I can make video game consoles, and I even come and ask about patents.
He moved his mouth and told the secretary to collect information.
After the secretary broke his leg to collect information, he scanned it with a machine, passed the submarine cable, and then connected the telephone line, and appeared on the fax machine of the Shanqi Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
This is an English document with a lot of technical terms on it. Not to mention the rest of his life, even Nick is blind to read.
However, the hard work paid off, and with the help of a professional dictionary, these texts were translated.
The text is to the effect that the U.S. patent law stipulates that only things that actually have a physical structure can be patented.
For example, the instruction set in a microprocessor and the software program of a video game are not patentable and are not protected by patent law.
Therefore, Intel's patent for the 8080 microprocessor focuses on the structure of the implementation instruction set.
There are so many physical structures that can realize the instruction set, and registering all of them as patents naturally forms a solid patent barrier, which is difficult for others to cross.
At the end of the article, all Intel 8080 patents are also appended. There are a lot of texts, and the thickness is very thick, and when Yu Tiecheng received the fax bill, he felt his heart twitch again.
For the rest of his life, let ten technicians stop what they were doing first and come to see this fax document.
These technicians have been more or less exposed to foreign literature before, and there are more professional terms and more pictures on it. Combined with their own knowledge, they can still figure out what is said above.
"Wait, I don't think it's quite the same here." Sang Shen's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he pointed to a patent, "I remember that our factory here is not handled like this, and it is a little different from this, it is like this." ”
Sang Shen's hands danced up and down, as if to depict a certain structure, and Xu Yindong and others expressed their understanding. Yu Sheng and Nick stared wide-eyed, not understanding anything.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and I can only comfort myself like this for the rest of my life.
"Nick, what if the technology we use is a little bit different from Intel's technology?" Yu Sheng asked.
Nick thought back to what he had learned in the previous class and said, "I should be able to register new patents and cross Intel's patent barriers." However, there are not too many different technologies, and Intel's patents are still used in the end. Perhaps, you can register these patents first, and then go to Intel to talk to and get the patents cross-licensed. ”
"Hmm...... That's it......" Yu Sheng nodded.
The eager discussion over there was a little quieter, and Yu Sheng said, "Uncle Sang, can you please call the No. 5 Component Factory and ask them if they have applied for patents for these technical documents." ”
Sang Shen said, "I have applied for any patent." Even if I have applied for it, I have only applied for it in China, and no one wants to go abroad to sell it. ”
"Well," Yu Sheng responded, "Uncle Sang, can you get this patent out, let's take it to the United States to apply for a patent." ”
"That's not good...... Sang Shen said with some hesitation.
He has lived in the No. 5 factory of Shanghai Components for nearly 30 years, and he has only been in the Huaxia factory for a few days, and it is self-evident where his feelings are deeper. Didn't Yu Sheng say this to let him dig the corner of the old factory?
"Anyway, they don't go abroad to register patents, let's go abroad to apply, and we won't delay anything in the fifth component factory. In this way, Uncle Sang, you will make a phone call first, ask tentatively, and if it can be done, we will take the next step. Yu Sheng said.
"Okay...... I'll ask......" Sang Shen's tone was still a little hesitant.
After a while, Sang Shen came back after making a phone call. The expression on his face, without the reluctance he had when he went to call, became a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Yu Sheng asked.
Sang Shen said, "Recently, a group of foreign experts have come to the No. 5 Factory, some are now presiding over the research department of the No. 5 Factory, some say that the equipment of the No. 5 Factory is old and should be replaced with advanced imported equipment, and some foreign experts are collecting the technical documents sorted out by the No. 5 Factory over the years, saying that they want to help the No. 5 Factory check and fill in the gaps......
"Foreign experts are so powerful?" Yu Sheng asked rhetorically, and at the same time he translated what Nick had just said to Sang Shen.
Xu Yindong and the others did not speak in a hurry, and the expressions on their faces looked a little solemn.
"Wouldn't this be just exchanging the market for technology......" Liu Baiqiang muttered in a low voice.
"Oh my God!" Nick let out a long howl after listening to the rest of his life's translation.
"Nick, what's wrong?" Yu Sheng looked at Nick and asked.
"These foreigners are collecting your technical information and preparing to take it away to apply for a patent, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" Nick said in a panic.
Sang Shen's voice was very muffled, and he said, "I heard from the people at the factory that these technologies are there anyway, and it doesn't seem stingy to hide them by yourself and not show them to foreign friends." Foreign friends are doing their best to help us, and they can use these technologies when they are useful. Foreign countries are so advanced, we are so backward, and they don't look down on our technology......"
"Measuring China's material resources and forming a friendship with the country is a self-defeating foundation and a traitor." An old technician wailed.
"You are generous, and when the time comes, it will be interesting for foreign companies to sue you for infringement with the patents applied for with your technology." Nick said.
When I heard this, I also understood the importance of things for the rest of my life.
"I don't know if it's just the fifth component factory, or other factories are like this." Yu Sheng decided, "Uncle Xu, Uncle Liu, Uncle Sang, I will open a thousand yuan for each of you, and you go back to the original factory and get back all the technical information you can get." If there is a production line related to video game consoles that needs to be eliminated, also help keep an eye on it. If possible, let's buy all these lines back. We must not allow those foreigners to ruin our own industry in China. ”
