Chapter 841: The Holy Driver Returns to Nanhai Prefecture
Even if this is the case, the patents newly invented by individuals or institutions in various countries are only superficially recognized, but in fact they are not recognized.
There is a question of jurisdiction here, the patent issue of the Daheng Empire is under the jurisdiction of the Patent Office of the Daheng Empire......
So you have to come here, and our Daheng application has passed.
But right......
There is a special nonsense in Daheng's patent law, that is, the patent law clarifies how Daheng citizens or Daheng institutions should apply for patents.
As for foreigners, I didn't mention it at all, it didn't say that it was allowed, it didn't say that foreigners or foreign institutions were not allowed to apply for patents, it just didn't say how to apply for patents......
Therefore, whenever foreign institutions come to apply for patents within the scope of the Daheng Empire, the patent officials of Daheng people are embarrassed, which is not easy to do, and there are no relevant laws and regulations on how to register patents for foreign people and institutions.
What, you say that our Great Heng Empire discriminates against you foreigners?
International jokes, we are discrimination...... No, how can we discriminate against you, we welcome you to apply for a patent, but it's a bit of a hassle......
How to solve it, you ask?
Nonsense, if Lao Tzu knew how to solve it, would I still be a small clerk, Lao Tzu would have been a cabinet minister a long time ago.
With such a toss, it won't take long for the people of the whole blue star to know that Heng Barbarian is a scoundrel again!
Well, since you don't let our people and institutions register patents in the Daheng Empire, then we won't let you Daheng people register either.
Daheng people said that if you don't register, you won't register, who is afraid of whom!
Anyway, the industrial and commercial development of their Daheng Empire belongs to the latecomers, and they have been catching up with and plagiarizing people's inventions for more than ten years, so how can they have the leisure time to innovate and make new inventions.
As a result, there is basically no cooperation between the Daheng Empire and other countries on patents.
Applications are not open to each other.
This made many people and enterprises in the Krull Kingdom quite unhappy, they invented a new thing today, and as a result, within a few days, some inventor appeared on the side of the Daheng Empire, invented the same thing and registered a patent in Daheng.
But if it's not cool, there is no way, if a small country, even a second-rate country of the second rank, dares to play hooligan like this, the Krull Kingdom dares to let them know why the flowers are so red.
But in the face of the Great Heng Empire's scoundrels, the Krull Kingdom can only secretly scold the Heng barbarians.
Don't even dare to shout a few words of war threats......
Because you shouted, those constant brutes will take it seriously, and when the time comes, if you don't do it well, you will really fight.
So, on the issue of patents, the Daheng Empire and other countries are basically in a situation where you play yours, I play mine, and they have nothing to do with it.
Of course, this is only temporary, and when the Daheng Empire has more patent innovations and needs to go to a foreign country to register a patent, it will naturally relax the patent restrictions.
As for what if other countries don't want to do it then?
In the face of big countries, it is nothing more than an exchange of interests, in the past, patent cooperation did not do much good to Daheng but harmed a basket, but in the future, when the benefits of patent cooperation outweigh the disadvantages, it will naturally cooperate.
As for the small and medium-sized countries, they are not willing to play hooligans with the Daheng people at that time.
Hehe, you are a rice bucket when you are the army and navy of the Great Heng Empire, and you eat for nothing!
Big countries and small countries are hooligans, and those are completely different consequences.
Based on the Daheng Empire's rogue on patent issues, many patents are public free patents, which can be done by any enterprise, and the same is true for gasoline engines, and several core patents are public free patents.
However, some detailed patents, especially some technical patents developed or imitated by Daheng domestic enterprises, such as the Royal Internal Combustion Engine Company and the Eastern Machinery Company, cannot be used for free.
You have to work with the Royal Internal Combustion Engine Company, and then get patent authorization, technical support.
As for the Royal Internal Combustion Engine Company, their business is relatively simple and pure, this enterprise was set up by Lin Ziran himself, and it belongs to the investment of the Royal Assets Division.
The sole purpose of the company is to develop and promote the research and production of internal combustion engines, so they are happy to cooperate with companies interested in entering the internal combustion engine industry.
Today, at least dozens of companies in the Daheng Empire have obtained technical authorization and support from the Royal Internal Combustion Engine Company to establish their own gasoline engine research and development and production.
It's just that it is not as good as the Eastern Machinery Company in terms of scale and technology.
But the development of this blossoming internal combustion engine still makes Lin Ziran quite pleased.
Relying on agriculture to develop agricultural gasoline engine machinery, and then further extended to the field of production and transportation, passenger transportation, and national defense.
This is a very unique development path for the internal combustion engine, and it is also a development path unique to the Daheng Empire, which other countries simply cannot learn because they simply do not have the huge market and investment needed to support the early development of the internal combustion engine.
There are more than a thousand or even thousands of Hengyuan internal combustion engine tractors at every turn, except for the farmers of the Great Heng Empire who will buy them in large quantities, basically no group will buy them in large quantities.
In other countries, at most, a portion is purchased for transportation.
Lin Ziran's patent continued to travel west, and after inspecting the Northwest Prefecture, he went south to Zhongluo Prefecture and visited the local Western United Shipyard.
This enterprise, which is part of the typical defense industry, is a state investment, and is an important component of the West Coast defense system.
The purpose was to create a large integrated shipyard on the western coast of the empire to build large warships, so as to avoid the fact that the west coast would not be able to replenish the warships after the Endless Strait was blocked during the war.
Even considering that a lot of equipment used in the manufacture of warships, especially naval guns, armor plates, steam units and the like, is hundreds of tons at every turn, and it is too troublesome to transport them by train, so a heavy machinery company, a steel company and many other supporting enterprises have been built nearby.
When these enterprises have nothing to do in peacetime, they are engaged in the production of civilian products, and they will also undertake military orders, and when they are in wartime, they will become supporting manufacturers of the Western United Shipyard to support the local production of various large warships.
However, although this enterprise is important, it is not much to see, and if you want to talk about shipyards, several large shipyards on the East Coast are larger and more technologically advanced.
Therefore, Lin Ziran did not stay in Zhongluo Prefecture for too long, and soon took the patent eastward to enter Quyang Prefecture, and then went south into Ningyu Prefecture, and finally came to Nanhai Prefecture.
After visiting the large oil fields in Nanhai Prefecture near Ningyu Prefecture, we went to Luohai City, the most populous and prosperous city in the Daheng Empire.
