Chapter 245 Enactment of the Patent Law
In view of the good effect of cement patents, not only to make the promotion of cement more rapid and fast, but also to protect the rights and interests of cement inventors, so he asked the emperor to promulgate a patent law to protect the rights and interests of those who invent new processes and new technologies, so as to encourage the enthusiasm of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty for invention.

Although Duan Lun's move aroused the opposition of some pedantic people, they believed that once the patent law was promulgated, it would only make people indulge in strange and obscene techniques and forget the teachings of the sages, so they resolutely opposed it. However, Zhang Xingcheng and a group of important ministers think that this method is very good, they have seen the impact of new technologies on Datang from the matter of cement, and think that if Datang can have more inventions similar to cement, it can only make Datang more powerful, so it should be vigorously supported.
In addition to Zhang Xingcheng and his gang, there are two other groups of unexpected people who support the patent law, one is Cheng Zhijie and Li Shiji, a group of military generals, and the other group is the royal family headed by Li Daozong.
With the support of so many people, and Li Xiaojiu has always attached great importance to craftsmen, he finally agreed to this matter and asked Zhang Xingcheng and others to write a patent law, so that this significant law was officially promulgated half a month later. The first patent bill on the planet has finally come into effect.
The people involved in the promulgation of the patent law did not realize the importance of this matter, and even An He, the traveler, did not know enough about this matter, he did not know, because his actions this time had made Datang embark on an unknown fork in the road, so that the future history has been completely changed, and the Datang he knew before will never appear again.
At the same time as the Patent Law was enacted, a new government department was established, namely the Patent Department under the Ministry of Industry. This patent division has one Langzhong, from the fifth grade, and another member of the staff, from the sixth grade.
It is worth mentioning. This patent department is the original team of the Cement Supervision Institute, and even the office location has not changed, but the brand of the Cement Supervision Institute has been replaced by the Patent Division. Because in addition to the personnel outside the Cement Supervision Institute, other people have no relevant experience at all, so when the Patent Department was established, the Cement Supervision Institute was abolished, and the personnel inside were transformed into officials of the Patent Department, and the functions and powers of the Cement Supervision Institute were also attributed to the Patent Division, and Li Yifu was also promoted from the supervision assistant of Qipin to the Patent Division. However, Lang Zhong, who was in charge of the patent department, was not An He, but was assigned another person by Li Xiaojiu to serve as a general, and An He was automatically dismissed and went back to be his free Zhonglang general.
When the Patent Division was first established, An and they were the first to register patents, and Datang's patents were different from those of later generations. The registrant can set the term of protection of the patent, but the minimum is 10 years and the maximum is 100 years, and the longer the period, the less the patent fee can be charged for the patent.
Anwa registered a ten-year patent for roasted tea. After all, it is impossible for this thing to be kept secret forever, and there are benefits to popularization, and it is good to be able to collect ten years of patent fees.
In addition, several things such as perfumes, fireworks, mirrors, etc., are the maximum number of years of registration. These things are considered luxuries now, and Anhe doesn't plan to make them public too soon. The distilled liquor technology is jointly registered in the names of Anhe, Li Daozong and other five of them, after all, Anhe paid the money at the beginning, only with technology as a shareholder, so the patent is considered to be a part of the four of them bought by Daozong, which is considered to be shared by five people, and after obtaining their consent, the patent will also be registered for a hundred years, after all, the current grain is expensive, and they have already had an impeachment of the imperial history in a distillery, if the distilled liquor technology is promoted again, I am afraid it will not be the impeachment of the imperial history, and even the eldest grandson Wuji will play a copy of them.
In addition to the above things, An He also worked with Cheng Boxian and others to register honeycomb coal and coking technology in the name of the Coal Industry Association, and the time is also a hundred years, these two are their sharp weapons against the Taiyuan Wang, how can they do it after a long time?
The two things Li Jing said before the business contact were honeycomb coal and coking technology. You must know that after the coal is dug up, the next step is to sell it. With the application of coal in cement plants, more and more people have recognized coal as an excellent fuel, but cement plants are still the largest buyers of coal, and now cement plants are under the control of Anhe's cement industry association, so all cement plants can be required to block the coal produced by Wang's, so that the coal produced by Taiyuan Wang's can only be sold in other ways.
However, Anhe has now registered patents for honeycomb coal and coking, so that it has almost cut off the private market and high-end coking market of Wang's coal, and it can be said that after the coal of Taiyuan Wang's is dug out, there is almost no way to sell it, even if some industries need a small amount of raw coal, but it is a drop in the bucket at all, and it does not play a big role, so Taiyuan Wang's coal is destined to be a tragedy.
"Cheers~"
After getting the registration certificate of honeycomb coal and coking technology, Anhe was carried to Dengxian Tower by Cheng Boxian, Li Jingye and others, and everyone was not drunk and did not return.
For this patent law, An He is also very satisfied, he has long wanted to get the patent law out, but although his identity is the fourth grade, but there is no political force, it is almost impossible to persuade Li Xiaojiu and the important ministers of the DPRK with only one strength, this time it is not easy to seize the opportunity, through the coal mine, the forces that can be united together, and personally run around, it is not easy to persuade so many people, and finally the patent law is promulgated.
But thinking about the price he paid for this, Anhe also wanted to cry without tears, and the others didn't care, either with the coal mine or with the cement, as long as he spent some effort, it was not difficult to convince them, but the most difficult thing to get was Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, because the patent law had the greatest relationship with the Ministry of Industry, so it was most appropriate for Duan Lun to put it forward, but although Duan Lun and Anhe had a good relationship, but if he wanted him to do himself such a big favor for no reason, it was obviously unlikely, and finally An He gritted his teeth, In addition to promising to provide the Ministry of Industry with three years of low-cost coke, in addition to selling himself to the other party, promising to help the Ministry of Industry improve the current iron-smelting and steel-making technology, Duan Lun originally thought that Anhe was bragging, but when Anhe told the steel-filling method, he immediately shocked Duan Lun, although I don't know how effective this method is, but it sounds like it is much stronger than the current steel-frying method, and I think of the talent shown in Anhe's crafting, so I finally agreed.
"Brother An, you can be regarded as giving us a breath this time, the carboniferous ore we can buy is less than half of the Taiyuan Wang family's control, I think they will sell it to someone in the future?"
Li Jingye was also happy, and even drank a small half catty of five kings drunk, and now his face was red with the smell of wine, and it seemed that he was almost drunk.
"Haha~, I heard that their Wang family spent a lot of money in order to buy these carboniferous mines, and this time Lao Tzu asked them to lose all their money!"
Cheng Boxian also staggered over, with a villainous look on his fat face.
The people around heard the words of the two of them, and they all laughed proudly, although the charcoal is a good thing, but it can't be sold, it is a pile of stones, and they are very hidden this time, it is estimated that now the Taiyuan Wang family does not know that they have been pitted, and of course they will not go to publicity, only when the Taiyuan Wang family will dig out the coal again, and then it is the time to make the matter public, presumably the face of the Taiyuan Wang family must be very good-looking at that time.
"By the way, Brother An, although your cement supervision institute is gone, the position in the patent division should be yours, why did you change it to the surname Xu?"
Just sent Cheng Boxian and Fang away from his bereaved love, Li Jingye squeezed over again, and asked An He with a smile, the surname Xu in his mouth was Xu Jingzong, the new Langzhong of the Patent Department, who was originally a member of the Zhongshu House in Zhongshu Province, and specially drafted the holy decree for Li Xiaojiu, but this time he was transferred to the Patent Department and did the position that should have belonged to An He.
"Alas~, I'm wondering now, I guess someone may have said bad things about me again, so the emperor sent a Zhongshu to replace me."
An He also said a little helplessly, he couldn't figure it out about this matter, no matter how he looked at it, the position of Langzhong in the Patent Office should be his own, but the emperor packaged his cement supervision institute into the patent department, but he only kicked himself aside, which was really strange.
