519 Reactions to the EPO scandal (1)
According to a Dutch radio and television reporter, in the past two days, a large number of Chinese have poured into The Hague City, the Netherlands, and staged a sit-in in the square of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, protesting against the refusal of the International Court of Justice to accept the case of China Wheat Mobile Communications Company suing the European Migration Bureau for leaking patent technology and suing the Swedish National High Court, at present, the number has exceeded 1,000 people, and the Royal Dutch Police & Inspector revealed that there are more Chinese immigrants and students who are coming to The Hague again...... "With the moving TV camera footage of Euronews TV, The sexy voice of a female announcer from Dutch TV made the whole of Europe boil!
Founded in January 1993 in Lyon, France, Euronews broadcasts television programs in eight languages, including English, French and German, to 150 million viewers in 78 countries in Europe and neighboring countries. The station uses "Eurosatellite IIF1" broadcasting, broadcasting 20 hours a day, with news materials provided by radio and television organizations in various European countries, and after unified arrangement, it is broadcast simultaneously in five languages, serving more than 30 countries around the world.
EuroNews TV is the only pan-European multilingual TV news channel, with a weekly viewership of more than 50 million, surpassing CNN in the United States and ranking first among the world's news channels.
The station regularly broadcasts news about the current situation in North Africa and Eastern Europe.
Since its establishment, there has been very little news content related to the Chinese people.
With the reform and opening up of China, all kinds of light industrial products made in China have filled the shelves of European supermarkets, and at the same time, a large number of Chinese have poured into Europe, making the already grim employment situation in Europe even more difficult.
In order to maintain harmony and stability in the entire region ruled by the European Union, the major news media in various European countries rarely report news about Chinese people in Europe, and even if they do, they broadcast some things such as Chinese smuggling......
What the whole of Europe did not expect was that this time, the most influential TV station in Europe, European News, actually broadcast a large number of Chinese pouring into the Netherlands. He also staged a sit-in in front of the UN's International Court of Justice to protest the tribunal's refusal to accept a case brought by a Chinese company against the European Patent Office and the Swedish High Court.
As soon as this news was broadcast, it set off a monstrous wave throughout Europe.
This company in China is too self-sufficient.
Chinese, when did they begin to learn to use the law as a weapon in Europe?
This is not good news for many European countries.
If all China's foreign trade and export companies learn to do this in the future, then these European courts will not do anything else!
"Shit! Chinese It's too self-sufficient......"
"Hype, that's hype. Chinese It's really mad to use such insidious means to incite public opinion......" In a nondescript four-story rustic hotel conference room in Stockholm's Sista, Sweden, a balding and fat old white man roared at the news video playing on the projector in front of him.
"What are those bastards doing on Euronews? Why does this kind of news appear in their programs? Mr. Howard, should you give us an explanation for this? ”
Howard, who was standing, was in a cold sweat as he scolded and scolded several members of the board of governors around the long conference table.
"Damn Eurovision! Damn journalists......"
"Enough! We are here today to discuss how to deal with this crisis of credibility that we love youxin! It's not about discussing what methods those yellow-skinned monkeys used or cursing those officials who just take money and don't do anything! A middle-aged man in his forties slapped the table when he saw the directors in a mess.
"Chairman. This matter, up to now, is beyond our control. Chinese officials at the United Nations are said to have intervened ...... "as parties." And Howard, who is also the CEO of the entire company, definitely did not expect such an ending at the moment.
No one would have thought that those Chinese would actually sue the European Patent Office and the Swedish High Court.
This is throughout the history of Europe. Not to mention that there is no one to come, it is definitely an unprecedented precedent!
"This is simply a scandal for our entire patent office! Can anyone tell me exactly what would happen in such a thing? Don't you know the way? How much impact will this have on the reputation of our entire patent office? Louisde, who was on vacation, hurriedly ended his vacation, and as soon as he got off the plane, he did not even rest, and held a meeting of the director with the five deputies who were already waiting at the headquarters of the patent office.
Twenty years have passed since the establishment of the Patent Office in 1976, and it is the first time that such a thing has happened.
"Director, before this, it was only an infringement case between two companies, and we didn't expect that when the court was held the afternoon before yesterday, the Chinese company suddenly filed a lawsuit against us in the international court...... "Nophist, the head of the fifth headquarters in charge of legal and international affairs, felt very aggrieved.
This Chinese company did not think about the consequences at all!
Perhaps they did this just out of disgust with the European Patent Office, after all, many Chinese products, when exported to Europe, will involve some infringement issues, Chinese, there is no patent awareness at all!
"What the hell is going on?" So far, Louisde is still in the dark.
"Could it be that this company has registered a patent with our patent office? Even if they infringe, why didn't they file a complaint with our patent office? ”
"Director, this company has indeed registered patents with us, and it is still one hundred and thirteen, and at the end of last year, their lawyer, that is, Merck Shearer Law Firm, who helped them apply for patents, filed a complaint with our headquarters in Munich, asking us to arbitrate the infringement of Ayouxin Communications......
"Yes, Director, not long after they registered their patents, you Xin registered patents with some techniques and designs that are similar to theirs, and we were told that these patented techniques and designs have been registered by Chinese......"
Several deputy directors already knew about this matter in great detail, and when the bureau chief inquired about the matter, one by one they told the bureau chief what they knew about it, and the bureau chief who was in a bad mood because of the interruption of his vacation......
"That said, this time. Is iYouxin infringing? Have you forgotten the purpose of our patent office? After hearing what had happened, Louisde's face suddenly turned blue.
This is a big scandal at the European Patent Office!
Although these high-level officials did not participate in it, in the end, they must be held accountable by the senior officials of the patent office.
"Then the technique in the hands of Ai Youxin really leaked out of the hands of our patent office? Why can't it be that it is out of their own hands? "Now, if this matter is not handled well, the good reputation that the patent office has built up over the past 20 years will be ruined.
The Chinese have gone too far!
"Since the complaint filed by Merck Shearer last year, the people below have begun to investigate. Several officials who were in charge of the technical patent handling of the Chinese have all emigrated to the United States...... "There is such a scum under his hands, and Jack Simi can't wait to find a crack to drill down."
If he had paid attention to this infringement case from the beginning, such a thing would not have happened at all.
It is because of his lack of attention that he, who was expected to become the next director, may not even be able to keep his current position as deputy director.
"Now that you have clearly understood this matter, why has it never come out?" Louisde almost roared.
These guys under his command are simply a bunch of rice buckets!
A small thing, it actually became like this!
"Director, the legal officer in charge of this matter in the first place has benefited from the love of your faith. The ...... was not accepted on the grounds that China had not joined the WTO," Nofest said with a wry smile.
The European Patent Office (EPO) is a very oily department, with officials and employees from all over Europe, and they are inextricably linked to large companies in various countries. Even these high-level executives are the same, once there is a case involving those large companies or countries with whom they have a good relationship, they often help the country and company behind them.
"At the beginning. After we failed to accept it, Merkhiller filed a lawsuit with the Swedish High Court, which was also denied...... Before that. We also communicated privately with Merck Shearer Law Firm and hoped that they would withdraw the lawsuit, and that youxin was willing to pay some compensation, but their Chinese boss refused......"
"What, our Chinese private enterprises are suing the European Patent Office and the Swedish National High Court before the International Court of Justice in The Hague?" Hearing the assistant's report, the Chinese ambassador to the Netherlands, Xue Qing, was surprised.
This thing, it's like listening to a story!
"Yes, it was originally just a patent infringement case, but after the domestic wheat company filed a complaint with the European Patent Office, the European Patent Office held that Ayouxin did not infringe on the wheat company on the grounds that our country did not join the World Trade Organization; At the same time, the Swedish National High Court directly refused to accept the case on the grounds that it was impossible for a company with a long history in China to infringe on the design and technology of a small Chinese private enterprise......" The assistant said to Xue Qing with a smile.
They have been in Europe for a long time, and they rarely hear about Chinese lawsuits in Europe.
Even if their rights are violated, most Chinese choose to swallow their voices for the sake of future development.
They didn't expect that a private enterprise in China, which had never heard much of it, would be so angry that it not only sued the infringing company, but also sued the European Patent Office and a country's high court!
This lawsuit, even if the Chinese lose at the end of the lawsuit, it is a very big loss to the reputation of these companies and countries that they sued.
"So they were accused? In recent years, there have been some bloody entrepreneurs in our country! After understanding the whole story, Xue Qing also smiled.
Chinese have always been treated unfairly in Europe and even in the United States, which makes him, an ambassador abroad, extremely depressed.
However, many of those unfair treatments are due to the fact that China's domestic production enterprises have not been authorized by the company that holds the patent, and this Chinese is not responsible, so he can only watch depressedly, and he can't even protest.
And now, China actually has a company with hundreds of high-tech patents, and it has been infringed by European mobile communication giants!
"It's not that simple. Our domestic mobile phone company called wheat began to run for this matter last year, but it has not been taken seriously, and then I don't know how to do it, the company's lawyer team went to the Hague International Tribunal to sue it, it is estimated that the officials of the international tribunal are too idle, so they accepted it, but it was not until a few days ago that the court was opened, and on the day of the trial, the company's legal team filed a new lawsuit...... "The assistant said the details of what he knew. While adding their own speculation.
"Why did our domestic companies go to court in an international court and did not apply for assistance from our embassy? There is no news from the country either? Xue Qing didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in this matter.
"Who knows, we are so close, we haven't gotten any news, and the newspapers and TV news haven't reported it......" The assistant sighed.
The embassy is here, and there are so many things to do in a day, so there is not much time to focus on these things that are not very important.
"Then why are there so many international students and Chinese people coming here? Didn't they get the news from EuroNews TV? "These international students are actually more well-informed than the embassy. This made Xue Qing very puzzled.
"I don't know what to do, leader, what should we do about this matter?" It stands to reason. When the embassy encounters such a thing, it will intervene, which not only depends on the meaning of the country, but also depends on the meaning of the ambassador.
"What to do? Something like that. If our embassy intervenes, it will become an act of state, and now we are seeking to join the World Trade Organization. If we elevate non-governmental behavior to the behavior of state organizations, this consequence should not be something we can be responsible for......" Xue Qing sighed.
"Besides, we don't know anything about that domestic company, and we don't know what kind of purpose their company wants to achieve, so it's not good to intervene rashly, you see if you can contact the person in charge of that company here, I'll talk to them first, let's feedback this matter to the country first, and see what it means in China......" Xue Qing really wanted to intervene directly with the right of the embassy.
But he also knew the consequences of doing so.
Therefore, this matter must wait until the domestic charter is down
"Ladies and gentlemen, that's the thing, let's discuss how our General Directorate of Intellectual Property should help our country's enterprises. If there is no national strength to intervene, it will be difficult to fight a lawsuit in Europe just by relying on a small private enterprise in our country. In the conference room of the State Intellectual Property Administration, the leaders of the State Intellectual Property Administration fell into deep thought after listening to the content of today's topic.
China's intellectual property construction has been underway for more than a decade, but no breakthrough has been made.
These officials and office staff of the Directorate General of Intellectual Property are inconsequential personnel in some other rights departments.
Who told China that after becoming the world's factory, it exported some low-end labor-intensive products, and rarely involved intellectual property issues.
And even when it comes to foreign intellectual property rights, almost all of them are only allowed to go out when they introduce some foreign technologies and high-tech products, and the domestic scientific research capabilities are not good, and there are no high-tech products exported abroad, and there is nothing to do with their intellectual property rights administration.
"Director Tian, what does this matter mean?" A middle-aged man with a round face and a beard who looked wooden was the first to break the silence of the conference room.
This matter, they discuss a fart use, the key depends on what the leaders of the country above mean.
"Don't care what it means, first we have to come up with a charter in our bureau, and then ask for instructions from our superiors. Haven't those European and American countries been talking about our domestic intellectual property construction? And on this ground, refuse to allow our country to join the World Trade Organization! As soon as Tian Yong heard his subordinates say that they should follow the instructions of their superiors, he became angry.
The State Intellectual Property Administration has always been unpopular and has a lot to do with those in charge.
Everything must be reported to the boss for instructions and asked the leader what to do, which is a manifestation of their incompetence!
"Director, I think we should first communicate with the wheat mobile phone factory and ask them what they want to achieve before making corresponding arrangements, otherwise they will ......" Most of the people in charge of the State Intellectual Property Administration are very young, especially Lan Lan, the person in charge of foreign affairs, who is thirty-three years old, and has become one of the several deputy directors of the entire bureau.
"It's useless to contact now, the chairman and general manager of the wheat mobile phone factory have gone to Europe, and the other directors are all people who only pay dividends and don't care about things. In other words, the people who can be responsible for the wheat mobile phone factory have all gone to the European side to fight lawsuits......" Sun Qian, who is in charge of legal affairs, said with a wry smile.
This is because they are not doing well enough, and domestic enterprises, even if they take the outside to fight with foreigners, would rather believe in themselves than ask the state for help...... (To be continued......)
