Chapter 170: Patent Disputes
"On the issue of patents, I have submitted reports and observations to the state in this regard a long time ago. At that time, it also attracted the attention of the superior leaders. I have to admit that, at least so far, our attitude towards patents has tended to be indifferent......"
For example, traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese patent medicine, Liang Sanping's later generations were extremely sad but helpless to see that more than 80% of the patent registration countries for traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese patent medicine were Germany, Japan and South Korea. Even in the hands of the Americans.
Ginseng royal jelly patent, registered in the United States. The patent of Niu Huang Qingxin Pill is registered in South Korea. More than 1,000 patents of traditional Chinese medicine and proprietary Chinese medicine have been preemptively registered by foreign countries. However, traditional Chinese medicine itself has been questioned and suppressed by some people in the name of "science".
"Like last year. In 1981, when China transferred 11 core technologies of hybrid rice to the United States, the United States recognized only one as valid. If we hadn't finally presented the international patents we had registered, the U.S. might have paid us for one of our patents. The rest, they will take direct possession for nothing! ”
Liang Sanping painstakingly recounted what he knew, including some patents that were inadvertently leaked. Since there is almost no knowledge of the situation of patents in China, it is imperative that these patents did not raise a defense during the publicity period.
The implication is that once the publicity period has passed, it becomes extremely difficult to get these patents back. Years of time, a lot of time and effort, and an investment of money. Even if it is finally taken back, the other party has already made enough profits in the capital market.
“…… The list goes on. And if we have not paid attention to the issue of patents, especially the international issues of patents, and protected the patents that belong to us, then we have given outsiders an opportunity! ”
"As long as they find an opportunity, or use illegal means to obtain our patents. They can then proceed directly to the patent registration. And when we want to compete with them internationally, they will wield the stick of patents to blackmail us......"
Liang Sanping said. He took out a copy of the document and handed it to the officials of the foreign trade department and the agricultural department present. This is the information of the patent applied for by Liang Sanping, and the current public situation.
During the publication period of the patent application, if no one files a protest or develops evidence on their own. Then the patent will be registered. Of course, the publication period of different patents will be different.
"In my opinion, we should first protect the existing patents in the country with international registrations. Then, hire a professional patent registrar. Popularize patent knowledge for our scientific researchers and related cadres ......"
Liang Sanping paused and continued to these officials: "At present, China has not joined the Paris Convention. But there are other ways to apply for international patents. ”
"Xiangjiang is an excellent port. We can use the professional patent attorneys there to protect our patents internationally......" Liang Sanping said with a sly smile.
"Of course, we can also take advantage of the fact that we do not have the conditions for joining the Paris Convention to 'import' some products back first......" saw this group of officials looking at Liang Sanping and smiling.
They all understand what Liang Sanping means, and it's not a day or two for us to do reverse engineering. At Zhenbao Island, a Soviet T-62 was taken down by us. It didn't take long for it to be reversed.
Reverse engineering, which later became known as the colloquial "copycat". Many people scoff at this, but they don't know the fact that the first products of any rising power in the world are from copycats.
When they succeeded, they did not stop the footsteps of "copycats". For example, the steam catapult system, the original creative intellectual property of the system originated in the United Kingdom, but its product technology was perfected in the United States.
During World War II, the situation of cottages was even more rampant. For example, the portable oil drum in Germany, Britain and the United States copied it and used it directly. No one is going to talk about patents or anything like that.
And the most famous of the American cottages. It's the V2 rocket. This was German technology during World War II, and after the war, the Americans captured a large number of German technicians. At the same time, a large number of semi-finished products, finished products and technical drawings were snatched.
After convincing including the head of the German military's rocket program, Walter. Lieutenant General Dornberg and the core of the development team, von Dornberg. After Dr. Braun and 126 other research team members traveled to the United States, they successfully "knocked" the V2 rocket in 1946 and launched it hundreds of kilometers into the air to observe ultraviolet rays from the sun.
So, don't talk about false propositions like "copycat powers". Speaking of which, it's just a matter of the eldest brother laughing at the second brother. Who's underneath the ass isn't clean. Of course, Lao Mei can be very shameless and directly snatch the cottage. Then Tian shamelessly said the problem of your copycat. But few of us here have the cheekiness to do that.
"Comrade Sanping, we already know what you think. After we go back, we will form a written report and submit it to the higher authorities for review. But seeing the person in charge of the foreign trade department, he put down his paper and pen with emotion and said to Liang Sanping.
"To be honest, you gave us a vivid patent lesson this time! The faces of those Japanese, hey! But he saw Ai Xing. smiled and said, "I really didn't guard against them too much!" I almost suffered a big loss! ”
Ai Xing's words surprised Liang Sanping. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult for officials to admit their mistakes. Not to mention now, even later.
Just by virtue of this sentence, Liang Sanping was impressed by Ai Xing. Indeed, the State is not doing enough in this regard at the moment. But the objective reason for this is that we have been separated from the outside world for many years.
It's not that we're disengaging on our own, it's because of the lockdown. Of course, now that they are going to open up, it is natural to know how their rules are played. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer a big loss......
"President, we've confirmed it. Liang Sanping is telling the truth. Their patents are now in the public publication period, and if there are no surprises, their patent application will soon be cleared......"
Yamazaki had a calm face and listened to the secretary's report to him. To be honest, Yamazaki is now full of anger, but there is nowhere to vent. Why?! Why is it that child who is just squatting in a poor country in China, so much younger than himself, can walk ahead of him everywhere?!
Just one step away, just one step away! Yamazaki was resentful that if they could get this information in advance and apply for a patent. With the fact that China has not joined the Paris Convention, Wanhong Co., Ltd. is able to take ownership of the patent very easily. And Liang Sanping, they could only stare dryly.
No one would have thought that this kid's brain would spin so fast. I directly found a patent agent from Xiangjiang, and then applied for an international patent in Xiangjiang.
Liang Sanping's hand directly beat Yamazaki out of temper. What else can I say?! And the atmosphere of the board of directors has become extremely awkward. At that time, everyone thought that they could win this patent.
But now that things have turned out like this, it's a big problem. Who's going to take on that?! Or rather, who wants to take on this responsibility?! No one wants to come out and carry the black pot, of course, they will definitely be there when the benefits are shared.
"Taking advantage of the fact that things have not evolved out of control now, I suggest that we still let Kusano-san negotiate with the two courts and Liang Sanping." One of the directors finally spoke, only to see him bow slightly to Yamazaki.
"Your Excellency the President, I will personally visit the imperial capital. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked for cooperation with the Chinese side. As you know, China is still an official-based society after all, and even if Liang Sanping holds the patent, he can't refuse the task given to him by his superiors......"
Since the last time Liang Sanping put them all together, these directors have begun to study the current situation in China. This research really made them find some problems. For example, the official standard.
The enterprise is now not Liang Sanping's own enterprise, but belongs to the state. To put it simply, if the superior gave Liang Sanping an order. Then Liang Sanping must comply, otherwise he will be removed from his post and replaced by someone else.
It was when the director saw this that he proposed to Yamazaki to go directly to the imperial capital. Open up the relationship between the upper levels and directly suppress Liang Sanping from top to bottom. And this point is precisely Liang Sanping's biggest weakness now.
"Hasebe-san! You have a lot of point, please keep your thoughts on it! Yamazaki heard the director's words, and couldn't help but nod and bow down to ask the director to continue.
And Hasebe is an old man who followed the old Yamazaki to fight for Wanhiro in the early years, and naturally sees many things more thoroughly than Yamazaki. But I saw him smile slightly and said to Yamazaki.
"Of course, we must first stabilize Liang Sanping and those professors." But seeing Hasebe think for a while, he said: "The negotiations are going to continue, and we can lower some conditions." Then fight for some conditions, as long as Liang Sanping's energy is delayed. ”
"During this time period, Your Excellency the President needs to make a hard trip to the imperial capital. On the Foreign Ministry's side, we can ask someone to help open up some pathways first. Then you will sign the terms directly, Your Excellency, President! ”
"As long as our terms are signed, even if Liang Sanping has any ideas, it will be useless." Hasebe smiled slightly and said, "Of course, we have to make a good time difference. And the action has to be fast. ”
"Otherwise, if he reacts, some of them will be in vain." After a pause, Hasebe said, "In view of the market and effect of this new type of medicine, I can establish a company to fund this matter alone. At all costs, it must be taken! (To be continued......)
