After being angry, Zhong Bai gradually calmed down: "You fax the relevant information first, and then contact you when I think of a way." ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhong Bai began to recall the relevant cases of transnational patent litigation in his previous life.

Although he is not a legal professional, he has the natural advantage of memory, at least he can summarize something from it, otherwise it is definitely not a good way to let Yu Dongfeng hire a lawyer to face it without preparation.

Unlike China, MD has long formulated relevant legal provisions in China, and their international patent litigation can even be traced back to 100 years ago in the 19th century.

The most famous international patent litigation case involving MD and Huaguo enterprises in the previous life, and the first case won by Huaguo enterprises, was the "first case of Hua M intellectual property rights" that year, that is, the intellectual property litigation lawsuit between Huaguo Tongling Technology Group and MD Leverton.

That time, after 3 years and 11 days and spending more than 3 million US dollars, the final good news came, and Huaguo Tongling Technology Group won the lawsuit!

The reason for the confrontation between the two is that Huaguo Tongling Technology Group has developed a new product - anti-leakage protection socket to MD to fight the world, in this regard, MD electrical giant Leverton Company could not sit still and sued it on the grounds that the other party was suspected of infringing their design patents.

The reason is that Leverton is one of the world's top 500 companies, and before Tongling Technology Group entered the MD market, they occupied 60% of the market share in the field of MD leakage fault protectors, and monopolized this market for nearly 20 years.

Accustomed to grabbing high profits, Leverton was of course hostile to the Tongling Technology Group, which suddenly broke in and had a more advanced permanent magnet leakage protection device technology, and immediately adopted the tactics commonly adopted by large overseas companies to use their own capital advantages to deal with Huaguo Tongling Technology Group.

First, it has filed lawsuits in multiple federal district courts, artificially inflating the cost of litigation, making it difficult for Chinese enterprises to bear the litigation costs of MD lawsuits, and forcing competitors to withdraw from the MD market.

Second, "surround but not fight", extremely using the legal system of the MD three-instance system and the judicial procedure that does not stipulate the time limit for trial, and using various excuses to delay the trial period, so that competitors have been slowly exhausting their financial resources around the lawsuit.

In the face of this situation, how did Huaguo Tongling Technology Group finally achieve victory at that time?

After three days and three nights of discussion, the board of directors of the group decided that there was no way to back down, and only by daring to deal with it could there be hope of victory.

If you don't fight back and don't sue, you will have to withdraw from the market. No matter how strong the competitor is, only by daring to deal with it can there be hope of victory.

In the face of the aggressive momentum and strong strength of Leverton, Tongling Technology took the initiative to join the lawsuit as a manufacturer, hired MD Atlanta's famous Merry Law Firm to represent it in the litigation, and assumed the litigation costs and infringement guarantees for all defendants, and at the same time chose the Federal District Court of New Mexico as the presiding court, requesting that all cases be transferred for unified trial.

It is this spirit of courage, skill, and courage to counterclaim, coupled with the extremely strong ability of the leadership of Tongling Technology to resist pressure, that finally agreed to this three-year international lawsuit!

Now, Zhong Bai told himself that he must not bow his head in front of the MD people, and must fight them to the end!

Even if it is 3 years and 11 days, this battle must be fought!

The current opponent is not the world's top 500, but a mining equipment manufacturer!

Unfair Competition, Abuse of Patents......

Waiting for Yu Dongfeng's information to come over, Zhong Bai first checked inside, what did the other party tell Bai Feng Group?

When he saw the specific matters of the other party's indictment, he couldn't help but smile dumbly.

“…… The defendant, Huaguo Huaxi Machinery Factory, produced DWX single hydraulic strut series products patented by Baifeng Trading Company registered with the Swiss Patent Office, although the subject of the patent application and the national scope of patent application were subsequently changed, but some of the contracts signed by the factory were invalid from a legal point of view, the subject was different, and the abuse of patents formed unfair competition against our company, resulting in a loss of ...... for our company."

"The Common Court of the European Community is hereby requested to completely prohibit Baifeng Group, Baifeng Trading Company and Huaxi Machinery Factory from selling DWX single hydraulic pillar series products to the countries under its jurisdiction within the scope of the countries under its jurisdiction, and compensate our company for related economic losses and reputational losses totaling ......"

It is nothing more than that White Mining Equipment Company seized the Baifeng Trading Company, which registered the patent at that time, and the actual production of Huaxi Machinery Factory during the period of time when the main body was changed, and then established the Baifeng Group, which did not catch the group's hands in the company's patent, and now they are being sued in court as an investment subject!

Huh, that's it?

Not to mention professional lawyers, even Zhong Bai can sniff out the thoughts of the MD people from this indictment - it is nothing more than to catch you a subject loophole in the registration of a patent, disgust you, make your reputation stink, and buy them their own time and space to sell the MD's own products.

It is inevitable that this lawsuit will be won, because in fact, it has nothing to do with the technology of the patent itself.

The MD people sued in Europe, obviously foreseeing the prospect that the DWX series products might sell well in Europe, and at that time their own automatic drilling and blasting system would be more difficult to open the situation, so they had to sue the villain in advance, drag you into the litigation vortex, and make the Europeans who didn't dare to trust Huaguo Technology stop increasing orders.

With his thoughts, Zhong Bai seemed much calmer when he called Yu Dongfeng again: "Dongfeng, this matter is not as terrible as imagined, you listen to me, the MD people just want to drag their own time and sell more products......"

After exposing his analysis and discussing, Zhong Bai said again: "We must not coax this situation!" If there is a lawsuit, they will sue, and the Common Court of the European Community will definitely hold a trial in Greece first - because our products are currently only sold to Greece and France, and other countries do not care, and the West German side should still be contacted, and there will be no mistakes! ”

"France is all small mines, and the sales volume is not large, and the bulk of our sales are in Greece, so I judge that they should attack in Greece first!"

"As for the operation of responding to the lawsuit on the Greek side, my opinion is that you have to find a way to find the most famous law firm in Greece, and leave the professional issues to the professionals. Let them send the most powerful team of lawyers to fight a lawsuit for us, as long as we do not lose the first battle in Greece, even if the MD people find a way to spread the war to other countries, it will not affect our subsequent sales of products, because our subsequent patent subjects have been completely changed, and they can sign contracts with those companies in the name of Baifeng Group, remember! ”

Being said so clearly by Zhong Bai, Yu Dongfeng's mood is now much more stable.

In fact, he is not a person who is afraid of things, on the contrary, most of the time, Yu Dongfeng is fiercer and more iron-headed than Zhong Bai.

It's just that when it comes to entering the rare earth industry recently, Baifeng Group's financial pressure is too great, and the traditional "fear of lawsuit" thinking in the bones of Chinese people has caused Yu Dongfeng to be a little confused after receiving the news.

But Yu Dongfeng still has a question: "Zhong Bai, I agree with what you said, it's okay to leave professional issues to professionals, but even if we are willing to pay a high price now, how can we contact the most famous law firm in Greece?" I don't even know what it's called! ”

Zhong Bai gave the answer after a little thought: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, we also have a way on the Greek side, don't forget Professor Cui Zhenchuan!" ”

"Professor Cui Zhenchuan? He's a geological exploration expert, what's the connection with this? Yu Dongfeng was a little confused.

"Don't forget that the four major mining companies in Greece are still crying and begging him to explore the veins again!" Zhong Bai said: "I will find a way to contact him and let him go to Greece for exploration again, which is considered to be a favor for the four major mining companies, and our request is for Lao Cui to come forward to find the most famous local law firm and lawyer team through one of the four major mines, and Baifeng Group will pay if it should be paid, isn't it OK?" ”

"Then we will continue to produce the orders we have signed?" Yu Dongfeng hurriedly asked.

"Production! Why not produce? Zhong Bai asked rhetorically: "When they use the product, they will know how good it is!" Let's not talk about the ones that have been shipped, anyway, remember one thing, the later contract must be signed in the name of Baifeng Group! Even if it has been produced and not yet delivered, you must contact the mine in Greece and change the contract immediately! ”

"Remember, Dongfeng, we not only have to win this lawsuit, but also win beautifully, don't be afraid to become the focus of public opinion. On the contrary, if we win this cross-border lawsuit in a high-profile manner, it will have an immeasurable positive impact on the existing products and the image of the entire Baifeng Group, and it will be an excellent advertising opportunity! The corners of Zhong Bai's mouth rose slightly, paused, and said, "And it's the MD people who help us pay the legal fees!" ”
