"Hi sir, what can I do to help you." After working for most of the day, Mary was a little tired, but her attitude was still very good.

"Miss Mary, my name is Lei Weidong, I am from Hong Kong, and I am here to apply for a patent this time." Lei Weidong opened the suitcase and took out a stack of drawings from inside.

Wu Fan and He Sanshui in the back hurriedly took out a few cauliflower dolls and Transformers models from their duffel bags. Set the table all over: "That's what I'm asking for, a total of 468 design patents, I'm sorry for you." ”

The translation is naturally made by a cameo by the big purple beauty.

Cabbage doll, yes, Lei Weidong took out a doll designed by Ropol, the president of Alcon Company and a 28-year-old young man, and named it "Cabbage Doll".

At first, the toy was sold in small quantities, mostly by toy collectors, but the rush that spread to half the world was sparked by a series of ingenious ideas.

For example: doll's sheets, diapers, strollers, backpacks, and toys of all kinds. Since customers "adopt" dolls as real babies and emotional sustenance, of course, they should buy essential supplies for dolls.

From these unique innovations, Alcorn made high profits, with sales exceeding $1 billion in 1984 alone.

In his previous life, Lei Weidong only saw a few female friends playing with this toy unintentionally, and he just laughed it off at the time and didn't care. I didn't expect my memory to explode after being reborn, and I could basically remember what I had seen, so I remembered this toy when Lei Weidong was thinking about what to do to make money.

"Wow~~ What a cute doll, it seems to be true! I really want to hug it. As expected, Mary's eyes were directly attracted by the cauliflower doll in front of her! Then he said in surprise: "Sir, you came from Hong Kong specifically to apply for these patents?" ”

"Yes." Lei Weidong nodded.

"Oh, let me see, it's all patents for the shape of the toy, the shape of the Transformers and the shapeshift, the shape of the cauliflower doll, and the shape of the Gundam...... Tsk, Mr. Lei, you are amazing! Although Mary is a federal employee in charge of patent registration, and although she is not a patent examiner, she has more contact with it, so she naturally understands something.

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

Lei Weidong's patent application this time is not only for Transformers, but also for all the robot models that appear in a series of robot comics such as Gundam and God of War King Kong that appeared in the future, and in the future, as long as there is a Gundam comic in Japan, when those robot toys are produced, they will be found to be infringed, and they can only be stabbed by Lei Weidong obediently.

Education in the United States is full of freedom, and it is easy to produce some young geniuses, such as Qiao's gang leader, who is currently on fire in the electronics industry in the United States, etc., but this 14-year-old Chinese teenager came to the United States to apply, so it was the first time she had met her.

After a little look at a few patent drawings, Mary found that these drawings were very routine, although they all looked like toys, but it can be seen that the author's imagination is very rich, and the shape of the toy, suitable for the people, is depicted in great detail, and it can be seen that it took a lot of thought.

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.

Mary looked at the time, it was already about three o'clock, and if she received this batch of patent applications from the teenager, I am afraid that she would get at least six o'clock.

She is a beautiful young woman, naturally family-oriented, and never likes to work overtime.

But when I thought of a half-year-old child, with a large group of people, it was really not easy to come from such a far away place in Hong Kong, plus Lei Weidong was very handsome and handsome, and at first glance he was a little Zhengtai, which seemed very pleasing to Mary, so he gritted his silver teeth: "Okay, your application will take time to process, if you don't mind, it may take about two and a half hours, okay?" ”

Lei Weidong was stunned, "Aren't you off work?" ”

Even if the vast majority of Americans are not lazy at work, when it is time to get off work, they leave as soon as they leave something, and no one can blame them.

He originally thought that Mary would accept the application materials first and ask him to come back tomorrow to deal with them together.

Although Mary is only a federal employee who is responsible for accepting applications, the steps to accept applications are quite complex, requiring a one-by-one check, and Mary confirming the signature, which is considered the first step of forms clearance.

It took two and a half hours, but Mary still had to hurry up to finish it.

Mary laughed, "I'm willing to help you, little boy from Hong Kong!" ”

It's normal not to work overtime, but it's not going to be objected to, and the U.S. government isn't idle enough to get scolded for federal employees working overtime.

"Thank you then!" Lei Weidong naturally couldn't ask for it.

It's a nice feeling to meet good people.

The next time, Mary threw herself into her work, and the two of them sat at their desks, confirming the patent applications one by one.

"The patent for the cabbage doll has already been applied, and there are more than 20 duplicates with the patent you are going to apply for! Do you still want to apply for a patent in this area?" Mary said to Lei Weidong with a document.

Still don't use it, I found more than 20 duplicates before I reviewed the manuscript, and I will definitely find more duplicate patents when I review the manuscript, so it's better to buy patents directly than to waste time! Lei Weidong shook his head and said.

Lei Weidong never thought that in 1983, the patent of the cabbage doll that was put on the market was applied for so early, and fortunately, Mary was careful, and when sorting out the patents, she found that some patents were very familiar, and she checked the information, otherwise she would not know about the patent crash until at least half a year or even a year later. (U.S. patent examination takes a long time)

If Lei Weidong opens up the market for cabbage dolls during this time, and the patent is not in his hands, then things will be in trouble, and some patent lawsuits will be fought, and it is very likely that the patent owner will be slaughtered.

Well, now because of Mary's carefulness, since she knows that the patent for the cabbage doll is already available, Lei Weidong asked people to buy the patent, and it is easy to buy a patent like this that has been born for several years and no one cares, and it doesn't cost much money.

By the time Mary had filed all the documents in a large box, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, not only the third floor, but even the entire building was not many people, except for Wu Fan and others sitting on the side waiting, there were only a few security guards who came over from time to time to take a look.

"It's finally done~~"

The beautiful young woman stretched her waist, revealing her infinitely beautiful enormity again, which made Lei Weidong stunned. I can't help but think that the breasts of Americans are really majestic.

"Hehe, am I beautiful? Little brother" looked at the young man's gaze, and Mary, who was accustomed to the gaze of men, asked with a smile.

"It's beautiful." Lei Weidong hurriedly withdrew his eyes, he was not a pervert, "Ahem, Sister Mary really thanked you just now, otherwise the patent would have to crash!" To thank you! So I want to invite you to dinner!

"Giggle~~ Okay......! I've done you so much that it's right to invite me to dinner. ”

Mary looked at Lei Weidong and nodded without thinking: "You go to the third exit and wait for me, I'll drive out." But my car can't do that many people! ”

"It's okay, Sister Mary, we can take a taxi then!"

Federal employees in the United States are suspected of dereliction of duty if no one else invites them to dinner. This kind of personal exchange is as ordinary as Hong Kong and the mainland.

Mary is very beautiful and has a good figure, but Lei Weidong really doesn't mean anything else. People have worked so hard to work overtime for so long, and they have helped themselves so much, it is definitely right to have a meal, if it weren't for the unfamiliarity and the fear of violating American law, Lei Weidong would have wanted to send money directly.

Besides, Mary is interesting, Lei Weidong will not agree, after all, his current small body can't get a big Yanmar, and he is too young.

During the meal, by the way, I can also ask Mary about the specific application process and time, Mary has worked in this industry for so long, it must be much better than her own eyes.
