406 Money-wasting international patent applications

"I'll have to go back to the factory for a meeting to discuss this." Yun Fei's proposal made Huang Qiaosong very moved.

However, after all, Factory 132 is a national second-level enterprise, and he, the factory director, does not have absolute rights to the company like a private boss like Yun Fei.

"By the way, the old man said, let you pull Ye Pageant to the Rongcheng Tool Factory." When leaving, Huang Qiaosong said something to Yun Fei that made him scratch his head.

Let Ye Pageant join Rongcheng Tool Factory?

Yun Fei's mind began to flash countless possibilities quickly. He didn't know much about the capital, and he didn't know about the families in the capital. Especially the affairs of the older generation, he, who basically has no channels, is really not clear.

Berlin, Germany.

The luxuriously furnished Presidential Suite on the top floor of the Maritim Hotel.

"What? Don't make excuses for me, if your work is delayed, I will definitely sue you at the International Tribunal in The Hague! In the living room of the suite, Li Lu, who was wearing a tight cheongsam embroidered with bright peony and a pair of slender high heels of at least ten centimeters on her feet, excitedly yelled at several white European men and women in front of her in German, which was fluent in German than Chinese.

She has been in Germany for more than 10 days, but the European Patent Office headquarters in Germany has not approved her application for more than 100 mobile phone patents.

The lawyer team found here in Germany assured Li Lu with confidence at the beginning that they would definitely help Li Lu apply for the patent in the shortest possible time, but now within the time limit agreed in the contract, they told Li Lu that they would have to wait for a few days, and they could not determine the specific number of days.

When he left China, Yun Fei told Li Lu that he must apply for these patents in Europe and the United States. Whether mobile phone companies can rise quickly depends on these patents.

For these more than 100 patents with a thick carton of technical materials, Li Lu didn't know what kind of benefits Lu Dao had, and many times, she thought that Yun Fei was too trivial.

In particular, Yunfei has even registered several patents for the design of mobile phones, such as flip phones, skateboard phones, and butterfly models...... Li Lu felt that Yun Fei didn't take money too seriously. Doesn't Yun Fei know that Lu Dao needs to pay money to register a patent?

He knows what he knows.

In China, there are generally no patents, and Chinese have always liked to imitate. As big as an airplane. For electronic products such as watches, no manufacturer will pay royalties to the company that owns the patent.

Therefore, the CNC machine tools produced by Jiuyi Heavy Industry, even if they have a lot of patented technology, have not applied for patents to the state, and many designs in the laboratory have also not applied for patents to the State Patent Office.

was arbitrarily named "wheat" by Yun Fei, and there was a mobile phone company business license with an obese insect several times bigger than wheat crawling on a magnified wheat on the LOGO, and Yun Fei called out the shareholders of Beijing Sanbei and Li Lu. They were given a large box of technical materials written in English and Chinese, and they were sent to the United States and Europe to apply for patents.

Similarly, patent protection has also been applied for in China, and how much effect can it be. Yun Fei didn't know what to do. Although the state has long proposed to retaliate against intellectual property rights and has long been engaged in intellectual property construction, many state-owned factories, especially state-owned military factories. They all live by imitating foreign products, not to mention the Chinese folk.

The road to Wan Yan's demise made Yun Fei have to start applying for patent technology when the mobile phone company was not listed.

This is especially true in Europe and the United States, where intellectual property rights are most important. That will be the largest market for mobile phone companies in the early days, and I can't help but pay attention to it. Japan and South Korea, which also have strong purchasing power, Yunfei also plans to register patents, but they will have to wait until the registration of patents in Europe and the United States is completed.

Li Lu, who used to be the general manager of Kamat, is very familiar with Germany, and she has been helping the country to buy equipment and equipment over the years. In their cognition, the United States is the largest country in the world, and if they want to go abroad, the first stop must be the United States, and at the same time, the United States has a lot of second and third generations in the capital in the activities, so let them go to the United States, it is also more appropriate.

Although China exports a large number of products to Europe and the United States every year, the products exported are generally light industrial products and semi-finished products that are only rough processed or even not processed, and few Chinese go to Europe to register patents.

Li Lu originally thought that to register a patent, as long as the technical information and physical objects in his hand were handed over to any headquarters of the European Patent Office, he could review it in minutes.

However, the facts made her know that plump ideals will always be raped by the reality of the backbone.

"Miss Li, I'm sorry, the patent office official in charge of the patent examination of products in the communications sector went on vacation to Australia this week, so ......" A middle-aged woman with glasses, short red hair, and lean professional clothes explained to the excited Li Lu.

If that official hadn't gone to Australia to see kangaroos now, how would they have offended a big client?

Customers from Chinese mainland are all fat sheep!

"Miss Anna, I said, please don't explain it to me. My boss often says a phrase, as long as it turns out! Now, the time we agreed upon has come, and you have patted your chest and promised that I will be able to get the patent documents within the time agreed in the contract. Out of recognition of your team's reputation and trust in your reputation, I called my boss last night and told him that I would be able to get the patent certificate today, but you are now coming to tell me that I will have to wait a few days! Li Lu was very angry.

Really angry.

This team is one of the best patent prosecution and legal counsel teams in Berlin.

In order to save trouble, she paid 300,000 US dollars in labor fees, an average of more than 2,000 US dollars per patent!

Li Lu didn't know that the patents that Yun Fei asked her to apply for in Europe were basically plagiarized from the patents of some European and American companies in his world!

"Miss Li, I'm sorry. It is our fault that things have turned out like this, and we will definitely compensate for the breach of contract as agreed in the contract, please give us another week, and we will definitely complete your entrustment. Merkhiller kept bowing and apologizing to the rampaging Eastern lioness.

They didn't think of it either. At the end of the review, the official in charge of the review left his job on vacation because the child wanted to go to Australia to see the kangaroo, leaving the injured to face this beautiful Oriental woman.

"Mr. Merkhiller, compensation, that's for sure, if the patent information of our company's application this time was leaked when the patent was not applied, and someone else registered the patent first, who will compensate for this loss? Don't say you lose, you don't understand the value of these patents at all. You can't afford to lose! "Li Lu gradually calmed down, or maybe it was really an accident.

At present, the world's largest mobile phone manufacturers are in Europe, Finland's Nokia, Sweden's Ericsson, these companies are all professional mobile device manufacturers.

Europe is huge.

But with modern means of transport, Europe is also very small.

In the unlikely event that an official of the patent office secretly provided these patented technical materials to these companies, which account for more than half of the mobile communication equipment, for personal gain, the wheat mobile phone company, which has not yet launched its products, will have to cry.

It is obviously their own patented technology, but it was preemptively registered by others, even if the mobile phone they produced belongs to the world's most advanced products. If you want to sell to Europe, you have to pay a large amount of patent fees to the patent holder! This situation is the last thing Yun Fei wants to see.

Although Li Lu didn't know the consequences of Lu Dao, out of trust in Yun Fei and blind worship of Yun Fei, a man who was a little younger than her, over the years. I was also very anxious.

"Miss Li, I'm very sorry for this incident, we will definitely complete your commission as soon as possible, at the same time. In order to make up for your loss of time, we are here for you for free! Merk Shearer knew that she could directly offer a customer to pay $300,000 for labor before she and others had even made an offer. Definitely a big customer.

And this customer is still from China.

There are not many people in China who have the awareness to apply for patents in Europe, and besides, companies that can apply for hundreds of patents at a time will definitely have more business in this area in the future.

Since they come to the European Patent Office to apply for patents, they will definitely have to develop in the European market, and if they can seize such a large customer and become the lawyer team of this customer in Europe, it is much more cost-effective than hard work to find a large number of scattered customers.

It is precisely because of this that they thought of Li Lu's promise that they would be able to help Li Lu apply for these patents in half a month, and they also wrote the half-month agreement into the contract.

In the past, they also helped many foreign clients to apply for patents before the European Patent Office, which was a very easy thing. Moreover, the patents applied for by this customer from the wheat mobile communication equipment company that China has never heard of are all patents that do not have much technical content, and with their previous experience, they can get it in ten days, and half a month has left them one-third of their time to deal with some unexpected situations.

"Who doesn't want your free service?" Li Lu was speechless.

The Germans are recognized as the most rigorous people in the world, but why did they meet Germans who are like those charlatans in China who are full of trains?

"Miss Li Lu, I'm really sorry!" Merkhiller, the leader of the team, is indeed very sorry.

If this Chinese client makes a big splash, the credibility they have built up over the years will be completely ruined, and it will be a disaster for them. Many of their clients come because of their credibility, and now the international economy is not very prosperous, generally they accept a commission, and the labor fee they can receive is only one or two thousand dollars, unless there is a large commercial case.

How can they not pay attention to the fact that a beautiful customer from China can make a $500,000 in just over ten days? They are a frequent traveller to the European Patent Office and are familiar with many of the officials at the Patent Office's headquarters in Berlin.

They never expected such a thing to happen.

"What's the use of being sorry? Mr. Merkhiller, what is this, how are you going to complete my commission in a week now? Li Lu said that losing his temper would not solve the problem. Her biggest concern now is how to get the patent documents faster.

Now she regrets that she shouldn't have hired a second-rate team of lawyers to save money, and this team doesn't seem to be very good at intellectual property.

In this era, patent applications are not very complicated, especially for some design things, as long as the officials of the patent office do not search for the same patent in their office, and then according to the technical information and research documents provided by the applicant, it is even possible to issue patent certification documents on the spot.

"Miss Li Lu, the European Patent Office does not just have an office in our capital Berlin, we plan to go to Munich to complete the rest of the patent technical examination process, if it goes well, there will be results in five days." Merkhiller was familiar with the EPO's processes and had to fool their clients in order to recoup the damage to their reputation.

At the office of the Patent Office in Berlin, they have completed the patent search, and at the same time, many technical documents have been reviewed, and the last review work is missing, as long as these documents are taken to the headquarters of the Patent Office in Munich, the patent certificate can be obtained quickly.

"Then why don't you go to Munich soon? Mr. Merkhiller, I don't want my opinion of the serious Germans to change in your team! Li Lu said coldly to several Germans in front of him.

Although Li Lu has been in Germany for a lot of time, but there are few friends here, every time he comes to Germany, it is basically some work matters, and even many times he has a clear task, every time, he comes in a hurry and leaves in a hurry. There is still some time before I can return to China, and it is just right to take a walk in Germany, although Germany is not as civilized as France, but the economy of Germany is far more developed than that of France.

"Boss, you say, Sister Lu has done it? We have completed the patent registration in several countries! The fat man asked Ye Fei as if he were meritorious.

"Boss, what is Yun Fei's idea? We haven't even built a factory, and the equipment hasn't seen a shadow, so it's necessary to get so many patents? Isn't that a waste of money! (To be continued......)
