Chapter 98 (53) Patents and Infringement

"Lao Xu, do you want to stay?" Lao Zhao looked at Xu Yindong with a firm expression, and stopped talking a little. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lao Wang next to him persuaded, "Lao Xu, don't be confused, this Huaxia factory is poor and white, and it sounds so good, as if it is righteous." But if you think about it carefully, our semiconductor was originally concentrated by the country, and it took so much effort to catch up, you see this factory, what kind of semiconductor industry is developing, isn't it funny? And you believed? ”

Xu Yindong looked at the anxious appearance of the two, half explaining and half sighing, "I haven't been fooled by the child, but I'm only in my forties this year......

As soon as he did this, the rest of the people reacted. Yes, I retired in my forties, and there are still decades left in this life, so I can't just expect to wait for the next generation to see my children from now on.

The eldest Lao Li thought more far-reaching, looked at Xu Yindong's expression, and gradually admired it, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Old Xu, you don't want to turn your relationship around, you receive a pension over there, and you receive a salary here." ”

As soon as Lao Li was like this, Lao Zhao and Lao Wang all reacted. yes, I didn't think of it. This Huaxia factory is a private enterprise, and the relationship can not be transferred at all, there is a salary on this side, and a pension over there, even if the factory is yellow for a few days, there is a way out.

Xu Yindong, the old man, looked very honest without saying a word, but he didn't expect to have so many thoughts, wilting and rotten.

"Voice low, voice low, don't let others hear." Lao Zhao suppressed his voice and said, "If others hear it and stay, this factory will fall faster." If there are only a few of our brothers, although this factory is not big, it can be afforded, and there will be no problems. ”

Lao Li and Lao Wangtou agreed.

Xu Yindong was embarrassed when he looked at the three people conspiring, this was not his own idea.

Their calculations were in vain after all.

The next day, when Yu Tiecheng asked everyone if they had thought about it, he took out a contract with many clauses. It is clear that if you come to work in Huaxia Factory, you must take the file to Huaxia Factory, which will block the financial road and retreat that everyone has thought of.

At this time, if you look closely, you can obviously see that many people who were originally positive have become negative. It seems that not only Lao Li thought of it, but also many other people.

"Lao Xu, do you really want to stay?" Lao Zhao asked anxiously.

Xu Yindong looked at him and smiled, repeating what he had said before, "I'm only in my forties this year, so I have to find something to do." ”

Lao Zhao, Lao Li, and Lao Wang looked at Xu Yindong with strange eyes, as if they were looking at aliens. If it develops according to what was thought yesterday, today the three of them will stay. But now that he doesn't even have a guarantee, he still chooses to stay here, so it won't be because his brain is broken.

In the end, there were ten people who initialed the agreement of intent.

Of these ten people, some want to go home, and some stay directly.

After three days, the people with accents from all over the world got on the train and returned to the place where they came.

There are three people left directly, Xu Yindong, Liu Baiqiang, and Sang Shen, and their relationship has begun to shift. However, the whole process is a bit troublesome, and it is estimated that it will take at least a few months for the postal service to send the file over.

This group of people is what they want for the rest of their lives, so they will naturally be managed by the rest of their lives, although they do not have any positions in the Huaxia factory for the rest of their lives.

Not far from Xu Yindong and the three of them, Yu Sheng was digging wood next to a black and thin middle-aged man, and it could be seen that his craftsmanship was not good, he made a mess, and there were a lot of sawdust in his hair.

The three of them have not started to prepare for semiconductor-related things in the past few days, and the first thing they let them do for the rest of their lives is not to make any video games or video game consoles, but to let them figure out some simple and interesting toys.

The three of them are dizzy, but they have all chosen to work here, so let's think about it.

Liu Baiqiang was very skillful, found some leftovers, and made a rattle, but Yu Sheng shook his head when he saw it. He had already asked Nick that the rattle is also a traditional toy for Chinese in the United States, and it is not narrow in circulation, it is not uncommon at all, the shipment volume will not be too much, and it will not make any profit.

"What I want is a more creative toy, please think about it more uncles." The rest of my life is polite.

His politeness, but it was not satisfactory, Sang Shen was about to slap the table at that time, we are engaged in semiconductors, what toys do you let us make, what do you mean?

The rest of his life was not afraid, he said kindly, "That has to wait, the conditions are not available yet." However, uncles, rest assured, semiconductors must be engaged. ”

In this way, the situation became like this, the three of them did not have to work on the assembly line, nor could they fiddle with electronic components, and they could not think of any new style of toys, so they watched the rest of their lives here to see what toys he could make.

The success of the Yako Racing was predictable, and when Nick learned that the 3,000 Yako Rows had been sold out in a week, he was not surprised, but sighed and kept muttering, "If you ...... it sooner"

The rest of his life was optimistic, not as good as him, and when he learned that the boat was bought very well, a smile appeared on his face, a hint of the profiteer's smile that Nick had seen too much.

When Nick knew Yu Sheng's thoughts, he didn't feel that he was a profiteer at all, but felt that Yu Sheng was simply a natural toy man, born to make toys.

The approach for the rest of my life is very simple, that is, to design a few more similar racing boats, which can also be transformed into boats, can be turned into robots, and most importantly, these robots can be combined to form a big ship, or a big robot.

The idea is simply fantastic.

Although all of these toys are sold individually, as long as the player buys one, don't they want to buy the rest? Obviously, the answer is no.

Usually Nick was still distressed about the phone bill, and only contacted the headquarters once a week, but this time he called back less than a day later.

After the boss heard this, he transferred it to the big boss, and the big boss immediately decided that this combination could also be rowed, and each set would come with 5,000 sets.

If you make up a set of five types of rowing boats that are expected to be set for the rest of your life, this is another 25,000 sets.

Because the difficulty of design and manufacturing has increased, the FOB price of each unit has also reached fifteen US dollars.

This is a foreign exchange order of nearly 400,000 US dollars, but Yu Sheng and Yu Tie have become a foreign exchange order, and the contract on the surface is still calculated at ten US dollars per unit, and the other five US dollars will be temporarily retained by that side to purchase various overseas materials.

According to the trust between the two sides, this level has not been reached. However, whoever sends dollars to China's side will be forcibly converted into yuan. There is no way to do it.

Now that TVs and refrigerators are so hot, foreign exchange can make a lot of money even if it is used to toss these things. Even if you take the U.S. bills and exchange them on the underground black market, you can make a lot of money just by relying on the one-to-ten ratio.

However, all this is just a castle in the air now. This fit can also be used for rowing, but it is not so well designed.

Finally got down to business.

The old electronic men held back for a long time, and put all the energy accumulated during this time into the reverse engineering of video game consoles.

These people have a strong ability to work backwards, and it didn't take them a few days to sort out the circuit diagram of "Space Invaders".

They watched this efficiency for the rest of their lives dumbfounded.

Humble and restrained, this is the expression of these ten people.

Yu Sheng tried to take the blueprint of "Space Invaders", which weighed at least a kilogram.

Yu Sheng sighed, "It's so complicated to make a video game console, and you guys are so good, you can sort out its circuit diagram in six days." ”

Xu Yindong smiled and said proudly, "This is our strength." In fact, this "Space Invaders" is not too complicated, and when the computer was first made, it couldn't fit in a room with many drawings. This machine actually uses many common electronic components on the market, such as the microprocessor used above is Monstech's MOS-650.

The display equipment is a Sanyo TV.

Overall, this is an assembly machine, which can greatly save the time of the maker, and also greatly save our time for reverse thrust. ”

Yu Sheng seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and he asked, "Are there any ready-made chips for sale in China, and when will we be able to make our own video game consoles." ”

Xu Yindong thought for a moment and said, "This is more difficult, what you want to deduce now is only the machine "Space Invaders", and there are so many game consoles that have not been deduced. This machine is a long time ago, and the new arcade machine must have a lot of new features.

We can mass-produce microprocessors in China, and I remember that the No. 5 component factory has been able to mass-produce the 8080 that imitates Intel.

However, the display equipment, as far as I know, has not yet mastered the core technology of color TV in China, and almost all of these TV factories picked up in China recently are imported from Japan.

If you want to make a video game console, I don't think you can rush it, you have to work backwards on all the game consoles, accumulate experience, and then you can draw inferences from others to make a new machine.

If the microprocessor and memory chips are purchased from outside, the rest of the circuit part is not difficult and can be produced in our factory.

The biggest headache is the display device. ”

"Well, I see, please keep up the good work." The rest of the life. He understood, although Xu Yindong and the other ten people had strong technical ability. But if you want to produce video game consoles, you don't just need a few strongmen, you also need to have a matching company to provide parts.

In this case, it seems that building a video game console will not be smooth sailing, and there are many challenges to overcome.

At lunchtime, the rest of his life made progress on his side with Nick.

Nick was surprised when he heard that China could imitate the Intel 8080 microprocessor, he thought he already knew China very well. China is a poor and backward country, but it is full of vigor and vigor, and it is hardworking and self-reliant.

I didn't expect that this backward country that he thought of could even produce microprocessors released by Intel a few years ago, you know, the Soviet Union couldn't do it.

However, when he thought of the word "imitation", he chuckled in his heart.

"You can't use these chips on a game console!" Nick suddenly reacted, and the entire cafeteria turned their heads.

"What's wrong? Why can't I use it? Yu Sheng asked.

"Without Intel's authorization, they copied their chips and used them for commercial purposes, which infringed on their patent rights, and in the United States, they infringed on other people's patent rights, and they would lose a lot of money, and they would die very miserably.

If you want to use chips, it's better to use Intel and they are produced. Nick said.

The rest of my life was a little shocked, this United States is too unreasonable, it is not allowed to use its own production, so it has to use American companies?

"That's unreasonable, isn't it?" Yu Sheng complained.

"On the contrary, it makes sense." "Patent rights are also called monopoly rights, or exclusive rights. The patent owner has the right to the technology, or the object, for a certain period of time.

If others manufacture, use, or sell without permission, it is an infringement and will be punished by the iron fist of the law.

Patent protection is time-limited, generally twenty years.

I remember Intel's 8080, which should have been around less than a decade. ”

"I see." Yu Sheng's head was over, and after a few bites of food, he asked again, "Then why did we produce, and what Intel in the United States didn't come to sue us?" Also, what's the use of patents, isn't it to stop technological progress? ”

Nick ate the dish on the chopsticks, sorted out his thoughts and said, "I didn't come to sue you, probably because Intel didn't apply for a patent in your country."

I've heard that patents seem to be filed separately in each country, but they are generally filed in major countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Japan.

One is because these places are the main markets, and the other is because patent applications also have to pay money, which is quite troublesome. It is not cost-effective to apply for a patent in some countries.

Well, as for why there is a patent law, it probably looks like this. For the rest of your life, did you make a water-powered game machine? ”

The rest of the head.

"Now your father's factory is making money from it, isn't it?"

"Hmm."

"Then if someone suddenly starts making water game machines now, and sells them cheaper than yours, and everyone else buys him, but not yours, won't you be able to make money?"

"I can't earn it."

"Then if you think about making another thing, and someone will copy you and make you unable to make money, will you still do it?"

"Maybe not."

"If you have patent protection, someone else copies your work, it is an infringement and a violation of the law. You can sue him and make him pay you money so that you can continue to make money, right? ”

"Hmm."

"If you can still make money, are you motivated to do new things again?"

"Yes."

"That's what patents are all about. We should use the methods of the market economy to encourage people to invent and create. If you invent something that only you can do, and you can make money, you will have the motivation to do something new. So, patents don't hinder technological progress, but encourage it.

If a person has worked hard for many years, others can use it if they raise their hands. Those who have the intention to create new things don't just think, I make new things, others can't copy them, it's better to copy other people's.

Everyone thinks so, and they are waiting to copy others, so that no one will make new things. ”

"I understand, I'll ask Xu Yindong in a while, what should I do if I infringe." (To be continued.) )
