FOR EXAMPLE, CAN JOE'S DESIGNERS NOW SIMULATE ALL THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR CONFIGURATIONS OF THE IPAD IN THEIR MINDS?

Can the Korean guys at Samsung now draw the phones that sell more than Apple in Europe and the United States, and can they name some simple and unique features?

Obviously impossible!

The burst of design inspiration can only be inspired at a certain time.

IF THERE WAS NO IPHONE OF JOE'S HELPER, THEN NO ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT SMARTPHONES COULD DO THAT, AND THE RESEARCH ENGINEERS OF VARIOUS COMPANIES WOULD NOT HAVE PUT ALL THEIR MINDS ON THE RESEARCH OF MOBILE PHONE INTELLIGENCE, NOR WOULD THEY HAVE MANY CLASSIC MODELS - WITHOUT IPHONE, NOKIA AND MOTOROLA WOULD STILL BE CLASSICS!

But they can't, but Xiao Qi can!

Because of these electronic products, Xiao Qi has played, disassembled, and assembled, and can draw three-dimensional drawings, anatomical drawings, and precise design drawings with his eyes closed.

Therefore, the second type of patent, the design patent, seems to be prepared for Xiao Qi by nature, allowing him to find a way out of the many jishu patents.

If it weren't for this, Xiao Qi would really not dare to make a tablet or mobile phone, and he would not be able to be played to death by European and American companies.

When he was at home on weekdays, Xiao Qi took a piece of paper and used the various shape patents of mobile phones and tablets that he could think of, even simple jishu patents, to draw the whole first, then draw the details, and then use various sides, fronts, anatomical drawings, etc., to give a certain shape feature into a patent application format.

Even some very simple and special jishu use patents, and without spending more jishu accumulation, Xiao Qi also drew them all, depicted them into words, and then put them on the computer. Use precise scales to quantify a uniform format, and bring it to the United States Patent and Trademark Office to apply.

Xiao Qi also knows that many of the 120 patents have already been applied for by Microsoft, Apple, Nokia, Ericsson and other companies, and as long as their own applications are found to conflict with other people's applications. It will definitely be dismissed.

But if you don't give it a try, how do you know if it's going to work?

What if they haven't applied for some of these patents yet?

It may be a little more difficult on the Jishu side, but even Apple, which leads the trend of smartphones, has just applied for some patents for these shape designs, and it is not as perverted and fanatical as when the iPhone is about to be released at the end of this year, right?

Compared with the inner jishu, the lethality of the appearance is undoubtedly greater for consumers.

Think about it. How depressing would it be to have a beautiful design, but because it violates someone else's patent, you can't use it?

Would you like to use it too?

All right!

Then open your invention jishu patent to me, too, and I can use it too!

If you don't allow me to use it, then you can't use my tablet patent, so you can only watch such a big piece of cake in front of you and smell the fragrance. But they couldn't eat it.

For foreigners, there will definitely not be this kind of "I don't do it, you don't want to do it" mentality. Their favorite thing is to compromise and cooperate, and everyone is the right way to make money together - usually a trust monopoly is something that you and I negotiate and we work together.

With such excitement and apprehension, Xiao Qi got on a Boeing luxury large plane.

Two hours later. As he left the Washington airport, he took a taxi all the way to the Carlisle area of Alexandria, stopping at the headquarters of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

As a country that values intellectual property rights, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Since Edison's time, it has been very busy.

Although it is now around 4 p.m. on a Friday, and the time for the weekend holidays, there are still people and cars coming and going.

The headquarters of the Patent and Trademark Office, which was completed only in July last year, has a total floor area of 2.6 million square feet in five office buildings, and a total of 1.3 million square feet in two parking lots.

As for the two-row townhouses and all kinds of related facilities, etc., it is even more set off the size and busyness of this institution - the only institution that can meet all the expenses by itself and use the surplus to build such a large complex is probably the only one besides the tax office and the customs office.

Xiao Qi is no stranger to a set of American civil services, walked into a spacious and bright building, received the number plate in the lobby on the first floor, followed the instructions and came to the lobby on the third floor, waited for about 40 minutes, and finally called his number.

He was served by a blonde Caucasian woman, who looked beautiful from a distance, but when she got closer, she had a lot of freckles.

A beautiful woman about thirty years old, with a number plate on her chest that reads "Susan".

"Hi sir, what can I do to help you." Susan was a little tired, but her attitude was still good.

"Miss Susan, my name is Xiao Qi, I am from Huaguo, and I am here to apply for a patent this time." Xiao Qi opened the box, took out stacks of drawings from it, and arranged the table all over: "A total of one hundred and twenty patent applications, including forty-two invention patents and seventy-eight design patents, I apologize to you." ”

"Wow~~" Susan looked at him in surprise, first looked at Xiao Qi's application materials, and then said in surprise: "You came from Huaguo specifically to apply for these patents?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded.

"Oh, let me see, consumer electronics, phone form, tablet form...... Tsk, Mr. Xiao, you are amazing! Susan is a federal employee in charge of consumer electronics, and although she is not a patent examiner, she has more contact with it, so she naturally understands it.

"It's just something I'm thinking about on weekdays, and I don't know if it's useful or not." Xiao Qi scratched his head very honestly and said.

The electronics industry is prone to produce some young geniuses, such as Qiao's gang leader back then, such as Bill Gates, such as Dell, etc., but the eighteen-year-old Chinese teenager, with more than 100 patent applications, came to the United States to apply, then she was the first Yujian.

After a little look at a few patent drawings, Susan found that these drawings were very routine, the ones she saw on weekdays, and they were described in great detail, and it was obvious that she had put a lot of thought into it.

A patent application is interesting, and in addition to your drawings, the description of function and appearance is also an important indicator of a patent.

As long as your patent application is approved, not only the drawings, but also the depictions and elaborations next to the drawings belong to the content of the patent, and you can directly apply for your own claims, so as to restrict others from using and creating. (To be continued.) )
