These investigators were ordered by Amejian to come here to investigate whether the lithography machine of Tenglong Chip Group violated the relevant patents of ASML lithography machine.

THE REASON WHY CHINA'S LITHOGRAPHY MACHINE HAS BEEN STAGNANT AT THE ACCURACY OF 90MM IS ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF PATENT BARRIERS AND TECHNICAL MONOPOLY.

IF WE WANT TO BUILD IT, RELYING ON THE DOMESTIC INDUSTRIAL LEVEL, WE CAN MANUFACTURE A 45MM PRECISION LITHOGRAPHY MACHINE, BUT IN THIS WAY, IT WILL DIRECTLY INFRINGE ON OTHER PEOPLE'S PATENT BARRIERS.

People don't even need to make a physical object, and directly register a patent for a conceptual thing, which can completely block the road of self-development of our lithography machine.

AFTER ALL, THERE ARE ONLY A FEW ROADS WITH AN ACCURACY OF LESS THAN 90MM, BUT THE OTHER PARTY'S LITHOGRAPHY MACHINE HAS ONLY TAKEN ONE OF THEM, BUT ALL THE ROADS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED AND PATENTED, AND PATENT BARRIERS HAVE BEEN FORMED, WANTING TO COMPLETELY BLOCK ALL THE SELF-DEVELOPED LITHOGRAPHY MACHINES IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

Generally speaking, some things need to be given in kind, and then the relevant patents will be explained, and then the patent office will pass the review.

However, this kind of thing, which involves the monopoly of the Western chip industry, is completely accommodating in this money-first society.

There is no need for a physical object, just a concept.

For example, during lithography, the two stages maintain horizontal motion at the same time without the slightest error, and the instantaneous acceleration applied to the two stages directly exceeds the flight speed of the rocket.

Although this kind of thing is still in a conceptual state, a few patents can completely block your self-development road.

Of course, you can still make it if you want to, but if you use it for other purposes, you will be prosecuted and then fined heavily.

You may have made 100 million yuan from OEM chips, but this fine may cost 300 million, which can completely fine you to doubt your life.

So Ye Fan can't help it, who let the family leave earlier than us.

In the room where the four investigators were staying, there were 50,000 documents, of which only 500 were patents for Ye Fan's 22-nanometer lithography machine, and the others were some useless materials, but at first glance they felt quite reasonable.

And about the patents that "infringed" them?

Sorry, it's all pulled out, and it's not in that pile of documents at all, unless these four investigators can read the 50,000 documents.

When the time comes, they will really finish reading, and Ye Fan will prepare another room for them, and pile up another hundred thousand documents in it, so that they can enjoy it slowly.

As for Ameijian, they will send a team of experts in lithography machines to Longteng Chip Group for review?

Don't dream, if this situation doesn't exist, it is already very face-saving to let the four of them come over and check the irrelevant information documents, okay.

And even if the other party made a ruling on his Tenglong Chip Group, Ye Fan would be completely true.

It's a big deal that the chips are not OEM for foreign companies, the domestic market is still vast, and even if the military department can negotiate, it can win a large order of hundreds of billions.

What kind of overseas market, overseas market, let them play on the side.

If they are unwilling to give up, or even want to further sanction them, then Ye Fan still has a countermeasure.

Sometimes something looks completely different, but it's the same legally, but some of the same things are different legally.

And is it the same?

It depends on who has more lawyers on both sides.

The legal department of Datang Technology is all some veteran lawyers, although the number of people is not very sufficient, but when the time comes, it is really on the bar, and it is still possible to find foreign aid.

You must know that Ye Fan still has a cooperative relationship with Brother Ma, as well as Lao Ma and Yu Chengdong, and when the time comes, ask the legal departments of the three companies to draw some people out, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes.

"What about those investigators who are investigating our equipment? Are you here? When Ye Fan and Jiang Lang went downstairs, he asked.

"According to the time, it should be five minutes away." Jiang Lang looked at the watch in his hand and replied.

"Okay, then you can do this, and then like this..."Ye Fan leaned into Jiang Lang's ear and spoke in a low voice.

"Okay boss, I'll do it." Jiang Lang happily took the order and left.

Tang Xue, who was following Ye Fan at this time, also looked at Ye Fan suspiciously, because she didn't understand what Ye Fan wanted to do.

"I know what you want to ask, and you'll see when the time comes." When Tang Xue was about to speak, Ye Fan made a shushing gesture and took the lead in the front.

After Ye Fan announced the foundry of 22-nanometer chips four years ago, Tenglong Chip Group was targeted, so there were two batches of investigators this time.

The first batch has been locked in a dark room by Ye Fan, and he slowly checked the information.

According to the regulations, they can only stay inside to check, even if they go to the toilet, because this is the confidentiality regulation of Tenglong Chip Group that took effect one minute before they came to Tenglong Chip Group.

And this confidentiality policy, which will also expire after they have been gone for a minute, is completely aimed at them.

And the air conditioner inside has been turned on to three degrees, even if they can endure the low temperature and stay in it for a few nights to read the information, it is completely useless.

The second group of investigators conducted an investigation on the related equipment of the lithography machine to see if there were any of their patented technologies and the like.

The other party wants to find out the vulnerabilities in the software and hardware, and then impose a ruling ban on Tenglong Chip Group and even Datang Technology.

It's just that Ye Fan won't let them get their wish easily.

Soon, a black sedan stopped in the parking lot of Datang Technology, and four sturdy white men stepped down from it.

They all wore neatly combed backs, blonde hair clinging tightly to their heads, and they still had the appearance of a public face with a hooked nose and deep eye sockets.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Fan, we are the chief investigator designated by the Patent Protection Law, please take us to the chip foundry factory immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" The white man at the head spoke in a condescending tone.

I don't know if they are used to being arrogant in this industry, Ye Fan can see that although they are working hard to suppress their pride, they will still unconsciously reveal a little between their words and deeds.

"Okay, please come with me, due to the special nature of the factory, you can't drive in." Ye Fan nodded and spoke.

Soon, Cai Kun drove a sightseeing electric car over, because after the four-person group of "Protecting the Family and Defending the Country" returned to the army, some of the security and housekeeping here were all handed over to Wu Qi, Wang Fugui and Cai Kun.

"I'm sorry, we only have this one car in the factory, I'm sorry, just grieve you, follow us on foot." Ye Fan took Tang Xue into the car, looked at the four people, and spoke.

Before the four members of the investigation team could respond, Cai Kun started the engine and moved forward at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

When they saw that Ye Fan was running away, they all thought that Ye Fan was going to run away, so they hurriedly ran and followed, just following Ye Fan's car all the time, not far or close, no matter how they shouted, Ye Fan didn't bother to pay attention to them.

"Let's take them around Datang Heavy Industry for more than a dozen laps first, these ghosts are pampered, this is also to help them exercise their bodies." Ye Fan leaned on his seat and opened his mouth to instruct Cai Kun.

"Okay boss, I'll arrange a wave of enhanced training for them, and train these foreigners well." Cai Kun didn't understand what Ye Fan meant, and the corners of his mouth immediately hooked up a wicked smile.
