Chapter 407 - Sky-high Asking Price (Second Shift, Monthly Pass 1800+)
"Because I believe in you! And when you wrote that program, I was by your side, and I saw you optimize step by step, constantly modifying and rewriting, and finally there was that very powerful artificial intelligence program. ”
Wen Yinuo was intuitive, and she was personally involved in it, knowing how Xiao Yiyuan's software program was finally perfected.
Of course, she didn't believe that Xiao Yiyuan had infringed anyone's patents or copyrights.
Xiao Yiyuan was very ironed in his heart, and said with a smile: "I didn't infringe on their patent rights, if they had." But when it comes to copyright licensing, it's hard to say. Because they did have a copyright license more than 30 years ago, and now there is a basis for suing me for infringement. ”
Wen Yinuo blinked, "This thing is indeed a bit weird. I know you don't believe in weird things, but if you open your eyes and think about it. ”
"Will anyone be able to time travel? For example, he finds out the public information about your patent and copyright license, and then swoops back to 30 years ago, adds this programming language to his program, and then quickly applies for a patent and copyright license. So after more than thirty years, he knows that you will be successful and will make a lot of money, and he will come to sue you again and claim compensation from you so that he can lie down and earn money. ”
Xiao Yiyuan looked at her speechlessly, and said very seriously: "Nuonuo, read less of those unnutritious online articles in the future." ”
Wen Yinuo: "......"
"That's a possibility! Although the odds are low! Wen Yinuo clenched his fist and waved, "Why are you so rigid in your thinking?!" ”
Xiao Yiyuan walked into the house alone, and said, "It's not that my thinking is rigid, it's that your statement is not logical. ”
"If someone is really able to travel through time and space, do you think they need to get my programming language from public information on the Internet?! Do you know how much top-notch science and technology would be needed if time travel could be realized? ”
"Taking out any science and technology related to time travel can kill me, an artificial intelligence software that does special effects. So why did that man leave his own treasury alone and steal someone else's cucumber? ”
Wen Yinuo was blushing when he was asked by Xiao Yiyuan, and he was even a little embarrassed.
She was still a little angry, because she was scolded by Xiao Yi far mercilessly, but she was speechless for the first time, and she didn't know how to fight back.
So the mood was a little bad.
She didn't speak, and followed Xiao Yiyuan into the house with her head down.
Xiao Yiyuan thought about the predicament he might encounter, and he didn't care about Wen Yinuo's emotional changes.
In other words, he thinks that this kind of thinking is a good trend, at least so that Wen Yinuo can sober up.
He still thinks that there are no strange forces in this world, and some are just that scientific development cannot keep up with the pace of human cognition of the world, so there are those things that are chattering about gods.
……
After the two went home, Xiao Yiyuan went to take a shower first, and then fell asleep.
He didn't wake up until late in the evening, and when he got up, he went out to look around, and found that he was the only one in the large flat.
He picked up his phone, looked at Wen Yinuo's location, and found that she had gone to the hospital again.
Xiao Yiyuan sighed and sent her WeChat: Will you come back for dinner in the evening, or will I cook a meal and send it to you?
Wen Yinuo happened to be reading the information on his mobile phone, and when he saw this WeChat, he immediately replied: I have already ordered a meal in a restaurant specializing in health soup, you can come and eat together when you wake up.
Xiao Yiyuan was a little tired, he shook his head, "I won't go, I'll make something to eat at home." You're delicious. By the way, are you back tonight? ”
"I'm not coming back, I'm going to be with the bed." Wen Yinuo said implicitly, "But my mom and dad will go home." They have been in the hospital for a week. ”
Xiao Yiyuan nodded, "Then it's not convenient for me to be here, I'll come to the hospital to accompany you for the night." ”
"No need, you always stay up late, it's not good for your health, it's better to have a good rest. There is nothing inconvenient about it. ”
"Mom and Dad need time and space for the two of them to get along, Nuonuo, if you don't let me go to the hospital to accompany you and the old fairy, then I'll go back to my own home."
"Oh well. You do need to get a good rest. Wen Yinuo didn't say anything polite to him.
The two are husband and wife, and she also has the key to the house that Xiao Yiyuan bought.
Xiao Yiyuan left Wen Yinuo's community before Wen Yangui and Zhang Fengqi went home, and returned to the three-bedroom apartment he bought himself.
When he returned, he found that he had not been at home for weeks and that there was nothing to eat in the fridge.
He didn't bother to fire again, so he ordered takeout, then turned on his computer and continued to search for news related to that company.
Then at nine o'clock in the evening, at nine o'clock in the morning in the other country, the other company went to the court to file a case, suing Xiao Yiyuan's Yuannuo special effects company for infringing on their company's copyright license for the special effects artificial intelligence software program, and demanding 10 billion yuan in compensation.
It may be that they received feedback from lawyers before, and they did not sue Xiao Yiyuan's company for infringing their patent rights, but sued for copyright infringement.
Because this case involves a domestic company, and the Xianxia drama that Xiao Yiyuan helped produce is also popular abroad, and has climbed to the top three in the ratings.
This is almost an insurmountable standard for a foreign Xianxia drama.
Moreover, many overseas film and television production companies are also talking about cooperation with Xiao Yiyuan, and the amount is very attractive.
Therefore, the other party believes that Xiao Yiyuan's behavior infringes on their actual interests and is a sign of disrespect for copyright, so it demands punitive damages and makes an example.
The court of the other country accepted the case as soon as possible, and began to schedule the trial at a later date.
And as soon as the news of this case came out, it immediately became a hot search on foreign social media.
Xiao Yiyuan's "Yuannuo Special Effect", whose English name is Noah Special Effect LLC, became popular all of a sudden.
Not only in the circles of special effects and artificial intelligence, but also in ordinary foreigners.
Foreigners began to praise my country's special effects technology because of that Xianxia drama.
As soon as this case came out, the foreigner immediately fried the pot.
"It turned out to be plagiarism again! Plagiarism! ”
"I said, how can their technology suddenly improve by leaps and bounds! It turned out to be a thief! ”
"Huh! Why am I not surprised at all? Isn't that how they made their fortunes? ”
"They steal! They deceive! They do all kinds of evil! ”
On social media abroad, prejudice against our country is so deeply ingrained.
Although Xiao Yiyuan had been mentally prepared, when he saw the amount of compensation, he was still stunned for a few minutes, almost forgetting to breathe.
It was a feeling of suffocation.
He slammed the table!
How unreasonable!
This lawsuit, he settled!
He wants to go abroad to respond to the lawsuit!
He doesn't believe it, this world can't be reasonable?!
He wants to countersue the other party and demand 20 billion for reputation damage!
Xiao Yiyuan took a few deep breaths and suppressed the anger in his chest.
He can't lose his temper because tantrums don't solve the problem at all.
Just as he was walking around the house to calm down, Zhao Liangze called.
"Ah Yuan, how is it? Did you see their news? ”
"See." Xiao Yiyuan said calmly, "I not only have to respond to the lawsuit, but I also want to countersue them for infringing on my company's right to reputation, and I want 20 billion in compensation." ”
"Okay, I've got your back." Zhao Liangze said with a smile, "I'm still worried that you will be hit and will collapse." ”
"How is that possible? Underestimate me. "Xiao Yiyuan is a very gentle person by nature, but he is very stubborn and stubborn in his bones, and he will never give up what he recognizes.
Even if you are beaten by the crowd, you have to smile and slash at you, and the last knife is fatal.
"Well, if you have a plan, it's fine." Zhao Liangze didn't say much, "I'll cheer you on!" ”
Xiao Yiyuan: "......"
He understood that when Zhao Liangze said this, he meant that he was not ready to interfere.
He didn't think that Zhao Liangze would personally intervene.
Come out to mix, of course, you have to go through the ups and downs on your own.
Isn't it a flower in a greenhouse, waiting for someone else to shelter him?
He's not a little girl either.
Besides, even if she is a little girl, such as Wen Yinuo, she is the master of her own shoulder.
Xiao Yiyuan smiled slightly, not wanting to talk to Wen Yinuo about it for the time being.
She's also quite busy, and he doesn't want to burden her.
So this weekend, Xiao Yiyuan and Wen Yinuo were busy with their own affairs, and the two basically had no other communication.
Early on Monday morning, Xiao Yiyuan and Wen Yinuo went to work separately.
As soon as Xiao Yiyuan arrived at the company, he received a call from Cen Chunyan.
"Mr. Xiao, did you see the news? Good news for you! I've consulted with a barrister in intellectual property here, and he said that patent protection for code in foreign countries is only twenty years. Therefore, if the other party sues you for infringing their patent rights, it is not valid! So they didn't sue you for infringing their patents! Cen Chunyan's voice was full of joy, obviously really happy for Xiao Yiyuan.
Xiao Yiyuan smiled, not very enthusiastic, and said, "Well, I checked the information over the weekend and consulted a lawyer, and they said the same thing." ”
"Yes, it seems that everyone has a consensus." Cen Chunyan said with a smile, "But there is one more thing you can't be careless, the lawyer here said that although the other party sues you for infringing their patents is not established, they can sue you for infringing their copyrights." Because the software is also copyrighted, their software is not an open-source program that can be used for free. So they sued you for copyright infringement, and it was still valid. Your chances of winning are slim. ”
This is also the same as what Zhao Liangze and Gu Nianzhi said.
Xiao Yiyuan was not shocked in his heart, and even a little tired.
He knows all this, the question is, what should be done to solve this problem?
He casually listened to Cen Chunyan talking on the other side of the phone, rubbing his temples with his hands.
"Also, the other party wants 10 billion punitive damages, which is actually a sky-high price, waiting for you to pay back the money on the spot. If you authorize it, I can help you find the best lawyer, negotiate with them, and finally settle out of court. This is all routine operation, and they also know that your company's 'Yuannuo Special Effects' doesn't have so much money, which makes us anxious, and when the time comes, you just need to declare 'Yuannuo Special Effects' bankrupt, and you don't have to lose a penny. ”
"So they're definitely going to accept an out-of-court settlement. At that time, it is up to us to decide how much compensation will be paid. Cen Chunyan taught Xiao Yiyuan all his experience.
Xiao Yiyuan listened for a while, frowned and said, "But I don't want to settle out of court." ”

This is the second monthly pass of 1800 plus more.
The third watch was half past seven in the evening.
