076 Take the initiative

After receiving the assurances of these officials, Li Mo was also secretly glad in his heart, no matter whether the other party would really investigate it at that time, at least he had already grasped the initiative, and he would resort to the law when the time came, and he was not worried that these officials would go back on their word and eat back what he said in front of the TV station.

After the inspection process was over, when the deputy mayor was sent back to the car, in a private chat with the other party, Li Mo introduced to the other party his plan to build two new factories, and briefly described the content he planned to produce in the next step.

Knowing that Li Mo still has some new products about to come out, and judging from the description alone, there are great market prospects, Vice Mayor Liu Hongjin, who is mainly engaged in economic projects, was also taken aback.

If these products can eventually develop a corresponding consumer market, then it is very likely that from now on, "ugly fish culture" will become synonymous with Ishikawa's soft culture, just like Qingdao Beer and Luzhou Laojiao!

If it weren't for Li Mo's product development credits to his first-class R&D team and his own career, Liu Hongjin would have really recommended this genius young man to work in the political axe research department to help with difficult technical topics such as energy conservation, emission reduction, and pollution control.

"I would like to express my strong support for these innovative projects you just mentioned, and if you have any difficulties in the future, you can also contact my secretary Hou Xuesheng directly." As he spoke, Deputy Mayor Liu Hongjin turned around and introduced another young man beside him to Li Mo, "Or if you have an emergency, you can also come directly to the municipal axe to find me." ”

Hearing this, the young man named Hou Xuesheng next to him hurriedly handed Li Mo a business card of his own, and said with a smile, "There is my phone number on it, and I will convey Mr. Li's meaning to Vice Mayor Liu meticulously at that time." ”

"Thanks to the Mayor."

After taking this business card, Li Mo also gave a simple compliment, and then watched the other party get in the car and leave.

With the support of the deputy mayor, Li Mo has a lot more confidence in his heart, unless someone can move out of a bigger background than the deputy mayor, or also master the technology of the super era, otherwise it may not be so easy to block the ugly fish through official or technical channels.

"Li Mo, what did you just say to the mayor? Why do you see him suddenly become so enthusiastic about you? ”

After the inspection convoy gradually disappeared from sight, Lu Zhi, who had always followed behind, stepped forward and asked curiously.

Because he is a member of his own heroes, at the request of Li Mo, Lu Zhi and others also changed the title of Li Mo from the boss to his real name, and he is no longer so class-specific.

"It's just some idea for a new factory." Li Mo recovered from his thoughts and replied casually, and then called the person in charge of his legal department and asked, "How are the prosecution materials prepared?" ”

Since he made up his mind to start fighting with these copycat factories, Li Mo first initiated legal means, including collecting evidence of infringement by the other party and preparing prosecution materials...

In order to achieve the desired effect to the greatest extent, Li Mo also specially contacted the agent manufacturers of seven or eight provinces and municipalities directly under the central government that have reached a cooperative relationship, as well as many franchise stores, hoping to expand his strength and sue the two largest infringing companies in the form of a joint lawsuit, waiting for the right time to attack.

This time, now that the deputy mayor has promised himself, it is time to show his sword and stab the enemy.

"The agents have no problem with this, and they will send representatives if needed." The company's legal staff, who arrived in a hurry, responded, "The joint prosecution agreement has been preliminarily drafted, and communication is underway on the amount of the claim and the method of apology." ”

Since it is a claim, it is natural to count the economic losses caused by the other party to himself, and Li Mo is also unceremoniously in this regard, "It doesn't have to be in accordance with the terms of the law, those are the things decided by the court, and your task is to calculate the losses caused by the other party to the ugly fish to the maximum." ”

"Got it." Receiving Li Mo's instructions, the legal staff hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Two days later, an announcement was made on the official website of the Ugly Fish Culture Monopoly.

As soon as this announcement with the surname of legal condemnation was issued, it triggered crazy reprinting and discussion among netizens.

Not because the publisher is the inventor of the mechanical pencil, but because its content can be called "bloody and brutal" has attracted a lot of attention.

This is a redrafted commercial indictment, including Hunan, Henan, Shanxi, Liao Province, Modu, Huyi... Eight provincial and municipal mechanical pencil production agents, jointly elected Beihe Province Ugly Fish Culture Company as a representative, jointly sued three stationery companies, including "Hongfa" and "Chenhua", for malicious infringement of their product rights and interests, and put forward a huge claim for damages.

Taking Bac Ha Province as an example, Li Mo filed a claim for compensation totaling 10 million RMB on the grounds of loss of market sales share, degree of brand influence, and substantial infringement of patent rights, and demanded that the other party publish an apology statement on the front page of several publications such as Bac Ha Evening News, Legal Daily, and Ishikawa Shimbun Weekly for one month in a row, and apologize for the infringement.

Following the example of Bac Ha province, the agent manufacturers of the other eight provinces and cities also listed their own demands for financial compensation ranging from one million to ten million yuan, as well as a public apology, on the grounds that the rights and interests of the cooperative company were affected.

According to the amount of compensation proposed by these manufacturers, in terms of direct economic losses alone, the three infringing companies, including Hongfa Stationery Factory, were required to pay a total of 170 million yuan in compensation, and published public apology advertisements in the legal newspaper for a maximum of six months.

170 million! Not to mention the total market value of all the manufacturers contacted by Li Mo, that is, when the international giant Microsoft sued a certain copycat pirated software in China, the final claim amount was only 500,000.

And those counterfeit world-brand DVDs and other electronic devices investigated and dealt with by the customs, the largest infringement cases are only millions.

As soon as this sky-high claim amount came out, it instantly sparked a wave of discussion about technology patent infringement.

In China, there are countless kinds of copycats, from clothing to brand-name watches to large household appliances and even buildings, but due to the opportunism of copycats and the imperfection of relevant laws, these pirated and infringing products can usually evade legal punishment, and even many predators in the international community cannot be deeply recovered.

It stands to reason that stationery factories such as Hongfa can also use well-known means and techniques in this area to avoid legal liability with similar or simple similarities.

But what they planted was planted to offend not the CEO of ADIDAS, not the CEO of Nike, nor international predators such as Microsoft Parkson, but the little-known young boss who has always been low-key and silent, Li Mo.

Meeting materials, production and sales volumes, recordings of the parties, and dozens of front-line employees of the cottage factory who had personally testified in court... These days, I know where the horrific evidence has come out of nowhere, all of which show that the subjective intention of the heads of these companies is to infringe on Li Mo, deliberately copycat ugly fish products and trademarks, malicious commercial competition, and try to damage the legitimate rights and interests of formal enterprises by illegal means...

In this way, those excuses that could have exonerated copycat infringement have become a thing of the past in an instant.

However, even though there are full reasons to make infringement claims, Li Mo does not have much hope for this price. His purpose is twofold, one is to take this opportunity to make an example of the monkey, to tell those who are going to trouble him not to try to use such despicable means to sabotage again, and the other is to do a good job of public relations for the upcoming upgraded mechanical pencil.

To put it bluntly, such a claim has something in common with the "one-yuan claim", that is, it is both to arouse social attention, but Li Mo is not rich enough to buy face with a dollar compensation, and 100 million may not be available, but in the end, the millions of infringement fees that the other party should pay still have to be compensated.

On the one hand, this move of Ugly Fish Culture has attracted negative controversies of "legal blindness" and "hype" on the Internet, and more importantly, it is the approval and support of Ugly Fish fans and ordinary netizens.

Although everyone is well-informed about copycat culture, judging from the evidence listed by Ugly Fish Culture Company, this kind of disgusting style of copycat manufacturers maliciously beating formal innovative national enterprises to death has been unanimously scolded by most people.

Suddenly, the calls for "supporting ugly fish to defend their rights with 100 million yuan" and "beating up unscrupulous and black-hearted factories" became louder and louder.
