Chapter 122: I Claim My Client's Innocence
At nine o'clock in the morning, the judges of the Imperial Capital People's Court were in place and the court opened on time.
Yu Mengfei stood still at the prosecution lawyer, nodded at the judge, lowered his head and sorted out the evidence documents in his hand, his face was light, and there was no nervousness.
After the judge rang the gavel and announced the opening of the trial, Yu Mengfei raised her head and charged the crime with an expressionless face, "Three months ago, the defense company released a new perfume, the perfume formula of this perfume was original by our client, and the defense company used the perfume formula for profit without any communication and authorization, and did not stop using it after many warnings, which seriously violated the intellectual property protection law." Here, on behalf of my client, I filed a lawsuit against the defense company for a fair hearing from the court. ”
"This is the prosecution's allegation." The judge nodded, looked at Lin Wan's side, and involuntarily had a little warmth on his face, "Does the defense have any opinions on what the prosecution said?" ”
"Yes." Defense lawyer Zheng Ze nodded lightly, and cast a smiling gaze at Yu Mengfei, procrastinating, "The defense does not admit what the prosecution said, I advocate that my client is not guilty." ”
Plagiarism cases are not like others, they are very difficult to judge, and there are very few plagiarism cases that can be won in court, so Zheng Ze is now refuting it, which is expected.
Yu Mengfei didn't think that it would be resolved quickly, and when she heard this, she just took a pen and drew a circle on the paper, and asked the first witness to come to court.
The first witness was Xiang An's secretary, surnamed Ye,
"Mr. Ye, at that time, my client was working as a perfumer in your company, and his perfume formula was handed over to Mr. Xiang through you, right?" Yu Mengfei asked.
"Yes, five months ago." Secretary Ye said, "At that time, Qi Yan specially mentioned that the main note of the perfume side was agave, because the main material is special, so I remember it very clearly." ”
"Thank you for your cooperation, thank you." After listening to the man's words, Yu Mengfei lowered her eyelids and thanked her, glanced at the jury, and then signaled to the judge that the defense could start asking questions.
In court, the witnesses are basically in favor of the prosecution, and almost all lawyers will seize this opportunity to ask more questions, hammer the defense to death, show the jury their grievances, and improve the jury's favorability.
And Yu Mengfei asked a question to his first witness, which is really unreasonable.
Rao is somewhat eccentric judge was also a little stunned at this time, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask for verification, but he looked at Yu Mengfei's deep eyes. The dark eyes were covered with a layer of coldness, mixed with an emotion that did not belong to the category of human beings, which made it impossible to hide, and the judge breathed slightly, swallowed all the words, and motioned for Zheng Ze to start asking questions.
What was she tempting?
Zheng Ze glanced at Yu Mengfei, kept a conscious eye, and spoke unhurriedly, "Mr. Ye, according to the information I investigated, although your company has always been obsessed with the perfume industry, the benefits are not proportional to the effort, I want to know, when did Mr. Qi Yan take the position of perfumer in your company?" ”
"Since the company was founded, it has always been." Secretary Ye replied.
"In other words, all the perfumes on the market in your company are blended by Mr. Qi Yan?" Zheng Ze continued to ask.
"Yes."
"Forgive me for taking the plunge." Zheng Ze called up a document, which was the financial statement of Zheng's company, "A mediocre perfumer who can be called a mediocre perfumer who can be called inactive for five or six years, but turned his head and prepared the explosive perfume "Lanzen", for this fact, I have great doubts. ”
