"Miss Li Lu, only some of our patent applications have come down, and there are some, and the officials of the patent office believe that your design is not too unique, so no patent technology has been issued......" Anna said as she lowered her head to Li Lu, the employer, while stirring the coffee in the cup with a spoon.

In recent years, patent technology for design has also begun to rise in Europe and the United States.

The shape design of many products is very important.

The same product, the same performance, appearance is the most important means to attract customers.

Originally, they thought that the beautiful designs provided by the spokesperson of the wheat mobile phone company from the Oriental continent could be completely approved by the artistic eyes of the officials of the patent office, but after the worst of them, those who had experienced many patent applications, found that although the officials of the patent office thought that these designs were very beautiful, many of them were dragged with the appearance design of the existing equipment......

"Can a design patent for the butterfly model be licensed? What about the shape design of flip covers and skateboard phones? "Yun Fei explained before he came, some designs may not be able to win patents, as long as some core technology patents are taken, it will be enough for them to operate in the future.

Patents at the technical level are the easiest to apply for.

As long as the patent office has not applied for a patent license for the same type of technology through the search, the patent office will not hesitate to issue a patent license as long as the technology is confirmed. However, it is difficult to define the design.

"These have been taken down...... "Anna was attracted by those exquisite shapes when she first saw these design materials, although the functions of these mobile phones are not very powerful, but the small and exquisite shape is enough to make any woman scream, not to mention that this small thing is still the most advanced communication equipment in the world.

"What about the game patents built into the phone? What are the built-in features such as alarm clocks? Vibration function can these be taken? Li Lu is most worried about these things.

Yun Fei had already explained to him that these things are the inevitable trend of the development of mobile phones in the future.

If you can hold these patents in your hands, Wheat Mobile Phone will be invincible.

Now the market is full of analog signals. Although Europe has begun to study communication equipment for digital signals, none of them have launched mature products. As for the patent application for digital signal communication equipment, Yun Fei really wants to apply for it, but it seems that no company in this world has a patent in this area, so he can only think about it.

The aspect of digital signal communication is defined by these guys in Europe, and there is no way to obtain a patent. Whether it is a communication equipment manufacturer in Europe and the United States, or the electronic communication project of Jiuyi Research Institute under Yunfei, it is based on the two communication methods of GSM or CDMA in Europe.

"Well, we got a patent license for the built-in game, but the vibration function, the alarm clock function, and even the calculator function were not approved by the patent office officials...... "Anna didn't know what the patent office officials thought.

"Didn't we pass the search?" Li Lu was curious.

It stands to reason. As long as there is no one in the search, theoretically you can apply for a registered patent.

For Li Lu's question, Anna is not easy to answer.

The people of the European Patent Office found that if all the patents applied for by the Chinese communication equipment manufacturer that Merck's team represented by the Chinese communication equipment manufacturer had obtained the patents, any European enterprise that wanted to produce this kind of communication equipment in the future would have to obtain the production license of the Oriental company, and this would be a disaster for the European communication equipment manufacturer, which has always been the industry leader.

But they can't refuse to patent some of the more core things and designs with unique ideas. Otherwise, there will be a huge scandal at the EPO, and not many companies will choose the EPO anyway. The European Patent Office, which has worked hard for decades, has created almost the entire European country with relatively strong technical strength, and the situation will be chaotic.

So, for this Oriental company some of the patent applications that they consider inconsequential. They refused to grant a patent license.

"That's the thing?" Yun Fei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Lu's report from Europe.

It seems that it is not so easy for Chinese to apply for patents in Europe, right? Those bastards actually granted a patent license in such a short time?

"That's it! But I think it's the reason why it went so smoothly this time. To a large extent, it is because of the efforts of the Merk Shearer team, who seem to be very familiar with intellectual property rights...... "Li Lu is still very optimistic about the Merk Shearer team.

Although she spends more time in Europe than in the Americas, Japan, South Korea, etc. However, the patents of those countries can only cover the scope of one country. The European Patent Office, on the other hand, covers most of the developed countries in Europe.

"Why is it so easy?" Yun Fei was puzzled.

"With the development of our country's economic construction, those countries in Europe are more and more eager to get a larger and larger consumer market like China. As long as the economy develops, the potential consumer market can be comparable to Europe and the United States! "Li Lu is from a trading background, and he still understands these things very clearly.

Theoretically, Wheat Mobile was the first Chinese company to register a patent with the European Patent Office, and they had to pay attention, although Li Lu was rarely involved in this process.

Over the past few years, China has been seeking to join the World Trade Organization, but some developed countries in Europe and the United States have obstructed it, setting up many obstacles for China.

However, many European companies are now more and more optimistic about the Chinese market, and it is precisely because of China's trade barriers that many countries' production plants have to invest in China to build factories in order to get China's huge market, and they hope that the Chinese market will be completely opened.

"Well, whatever, it's a good thing anyway. You've been on the plane for so long, let's take a shower and rest first, I'll go to the company to deal with some things first, and then I'll pick you up at night......" Yun Fei sent Li Lu to his home, and went towards his office in Jiuyi Heavy Industry.

At this time, several leaders of the state-owned 754 factory were waiting for him in his office, and the leaders of the 555 factory were also there.

754 factory is Yunfei's old owner, this factory in the material technology, before the opening, belongs to the whole of China's first-class, but with the reform and opening up of some raw material production areas of the rise of local material factories, although their investment scale is huge, but there is not much technical content, but there are more and more competitors for products with a huge market, especially now Jiuyi Heavy Industry next to the cemented carbide factory is also like a rare metal raw material market to enter, making the original benefit of the 754 factory worse.

Last year, that is, in 1993, the net profit of the entire 754 factory was only 240 yuan that made people laugh off their big teeth! If the development of history is followed, the 754 factory will not have a better time until it becomes a raw material supply factory for the overlord of lighting materials like Philip in the future. Of course, with the rise of some small private factories in China, as well as some shortcomings of state-owned factories, the 754 factory fell into the crisis of bankruptcy again after losing some large foreign customers, and it was not until the technical skills of purchasing some tungsten and molybdenum products from the technicians in some companies that produce tungsten and molybdenum products that they could barely survive.

Of course, they should have made very large profits, but because of the bloated organization in the factories and the laziness common in state-owned factories, their production costs are much higher than those of small enterprises, so that they can only barely survive.

In the machining workshop where Yun Fei is located, there are only 170 people in total, but there are more than 90 management and technical technicians.

Even so, among the workers less than 80, there are many ugly things in it. In some small processing factories outside, a worker who opens CNC wire cutting can open at least three or more wire cutting, but in the 754 factory, there are three people who drive a wire cutting (no shift system), and it is also equipped with a special inspection!

This incident made Yun Fei feel extremely painful when he thought about it.

If it weren't for the acquisition by Xiamen Tungsten Group, coupled with the cooperation with the devil to establish a factory for the production of tungsten and molybdenum products, and the sale of the land in the city center, it is estimated that it will go bankrupt directly in the 21st century, and Yun Fei would not have had the opportunity to enter the company's production workshop to learn a good skill.

Although Yun Fei has no good impression of the 754 factory, which has a very serious bureaucratic style, after all, he has been in that factory for so many years, so now that he has the opportunity to cooperate, he will give it a hand.

The 35th factory is an electronic factory that integrates research and production in the study of electronic materials, but the production and research in the factory are some ordinary products such as diodes and transistors that do not have much high-tech content.

If you want to talk about the technical strength, it is not as strong as the electronic workshop of Jiuyi Heavy Industry, let alone compared with those electronic branches of aerospace.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I just went to the airport to pick up a friend who came back from Europe, so I'm late, please forgive me......" Yun Fei walked into the reception room, saw several familiar people, and said apologetically.

Everyone hurriedly said that they didn't dare to do it. (To be continued......)
