Chapter 739 Patents
"Mr. Adams, does the law in the Empire now support patents for word projects?"
Mr. Adams was the largest shareholder of the law firm where Kevin had previously stayed, and he was also a barrister of great stature and prestige, and although he did not have a good reputation, any lawyer with a little ability would not have a good reputation. As Kevin said, if you want to ask your employer to defend yourself, you must first believe that he is innocent, where are so many innocent people in this world?
As long as Mr. Adams is familiar enough with his business to bring enough convenience to Doolin.
Duhring had an idea of registering the insurance company's business methods and business scope as patents by registering text plans, and no matter what step the Reich Central Bank could take, it would eventually have to bow to him because they had infringed upon it. The reason why Durin had such an idea was also related to some of the knowledge he had gained from the world in his dreams. In the dream world there is a very powerful country, and in this very powerful country lives a lot of very poor but daydreamers.
One day, a drunken gentleman drank too much and fell asleep on the couch and had a bizarre dream. The owner of the last bizarre dream woke up and wrote a script called "The Terminator", and this drunken gentleman dreamed of something even more magical, he actually saw three-dimensional things in his old TV and saw the future trend, which may have something to do with some science fiction movies released at that time.
So he told his family about his dreams, and with the help of his family and lawyers, he registered a series of patents for three-dimensional vision in that powerful country. It seems that this is a very inspirational story, but no, this is a daydream story, and what is even more amazing is that with the help of a lawyer, he went to the patent office to describe some of the things in his dream, drew some messy sketches, and actually registered successfully!
Without any description of the principle, without any scientific argument, with the help of the staff and lawyers of the patent office, he actually succeeded in registering a color three-dimensional imaging technology that he did not know what the principle was, and registered it for a hundred years. Of course, some people actually say that this may be an attempt by lawyers and patent offices to cheat money, after all, a hundred years of patent fees is not a small amount. This gentleman, who is not wealthy, took out his savings and registered this patent and continued his ordinary life, even forgetting that there was such a thing after thirty or forty years, and even forgetting that he had such a fucking patent in his hand, and it was a hundred years of patent.
It wasn't until one day, when a lawyer with a strong accent asked him for a quote, that he realized what he had done thirty or forty years ago!
This is definitely the spokesperson of a magical imperial dream, but in fact, it is not, in the face of the world's top super multinational groups, his lawyer advised him to take the way of licensing to license patents to these people, and calculated for him that just licensing, the annual royalties will be as high as billions. But under the oppression and threats of the capitalists, in the end this gentleman will be so important, so to speak, the technology that affects everyone's life is sold out to these large companies at a very low price - a billion.
When Durin dreamed, he listened to the story as an interesting myth, but at this moment, he had the idea that if the business method was registered as a patent, it would be possible. If you can register, then it means that the insurance business belongs only to him, and others who want to join the game must get his authorization. In recent years, the empire's "Anti-Monopoly Law" and "Anti-Industry Manipulation Act" have become more and more perfect, and it is impossible for him to operate exclusively, so he simply does not do it himself.
Charging a 5% mandate per instalment on every policy would be a terrifying asset, and he wouldn't have to take any risks for it.
Mr. Adams, a little overwhelmed by Dooling's idea, held the microphone and asked the patent attorney to call over and turn on the speakerphone to discuss the matter.
"Mr. Doolin, Mr. Adams has just told me your thoughts, and a large part of the Empire's patent law is 'borrowed' from the federal patent law, and then some provisions have been added to correspond to certain special circumstances of the Empire. The facts you describe are not included in the current patent law of the Empire, and none of them can support your assumptions. Dulin didn't speak, he felt that this guy's tone was still interestingly procrastinating, as if he hadn't finished speaking.
In the imperial capital's lawyer's office, in Adams's office, the lawyer specializing in patent law and Adams smiled at each other and said a but.
"However, there is also no legal provision that prevents you from doing so, according to the proposed amendment to the Patent Act, which was adopted by the Federation last November, which proposes the registration of 'commercial' patents. Perhaps we can register such a patent on the federal side according to your idea, and then in turn register it in a two-step way within the empire. The first step is for us to register your patent directly with the patent office, and they don't have any explicit terms to oppose your request for registration. ”
"Then use the company that registers this patent in the federal government to file an international patent protection with the Imperial Patent Office, of course, there are some other ways to operate, and in the end, it is very likely that the Imperial Patent Office will have your patent approved by the Patent Office before the application for international patent protection is approved!"
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of the hostility of the imperial people to the federation to first pass the patent and then talk about the issue of international patents, and then take Duhring's patent registration certificate to directly reject the international patent protection proposed by the federal company, telling them that the patent empire also has it, and it is registered, so it cannot provide the necessary legal protection for the patent owners of the federation.
"Local protection policies" apply not only to local affairs, but also to state-to-state affairs, where state-to-state bickering has become the norm beyond what people have access to. For example, before this, the empire banned the circulation of alcoholic goods, but the federation did not have a bill that seriously violated the rights of citizens such as prohibition, and the federal people firmly controlled the empire's tariffs and import and export licenses, and the federal liquor merchants were pouring countless liquor into the empire in the open.
After thinking for a moment, Du Lin felt that there was no problem, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "I understand, I will have people register the patent in the federal side immediately, and I will come to the imperial capital to register this patent in person later, and I need your cooperation at that time." ”
Adams took the phone and canceled the speakerphone, he let the lawyer in charge of patents leave his office, and then laughed out loud and said, "No problem at all, I will serve you personally, do you need us to book a ticket and a room for you?", for the sake of money Adams can be said to have no bottom line, more than 20 years of study and research have made his best years spent in the library or office, and the next years are his harvest season.
The reason why I chose to take the path of a lawyer in the first place was not to make more money in the final analysis?
Not to mention booking tickets for Doolin, it is feasible for him to provide Dührin with both in-and out-of-law services throughout the process.
All for the money.
Declining Adams' offer, Durin hung up the phone, got up, walked to the window, and hesitated for a moment to look at the view. Patents alone are not insured, he needs to talk to Julio, and if he can get this done before the Reichsbank, then this is the best outcome.
People always tend to be "first", whether it is the "first time" that people can't forget, or the "first time" that makes people remember it vividly, or the "first time" that often comes to the memory and interferes with the thoughts, it is always full of people's recognition of the "first". If you can be the first company to operate insurance business, as long as there is no destructive negative news for the rest of your life, the first position will be considered a firm seat!
He packed up and asked Dover to drive, and with Dove's help, he got dressed and just drove to the gate of the villa when a woman stood in the way.
In fact, Duhrin often sees such people, there are always some beautiful women who want to take a shortcut in life, they may think that they can charm all the men in the world, and all men should revolve around them like puppies. Unfortunately, they met a man who had learned self-denial in his dreams, and his desires could not interfere with his reason and make him do impulsive things.
"Honk the horn and tell her to get out of the way. ”
Du Lin shrugged his shoulders after he finished speaking, to be honest, this woman is very good-looking, she has dark brown hair, her face is very delicate, her skin is white, and her figure is also very good, especially the legs, which are very round, and at the same time have a healthy luster. Unfortunately, though, she had to leave.
Dovero honked his horn and made a gesture to get out of the way, and the woman not only did not leave, but also took out a document from the small Kun bag she was carrying, handed it to Ellis, who had already surrounded her with someone, and then said something, and the two looked at Durin together.
Then Ellis walked out the door, Durin rolled down the window and took a document from him, a work permit from the Imperial Military Intelligence Department, Durin looked at the photo on the card, then at the person, and pronounced her name, Katarina!
