Chapter 261: A Tooth for a Tooth!
The word infringement is difficult to define in this era of patent-first technology, so most people can only learn about it from major news channels.
In fact, there are many similar patents in the world, and it is not clear who is infringing on whom.
In the patent war between Qualcomm and Apple, there are many patents that have been clearly pointed out that they are not much different.
Microsoft insisted that Neutron Star Technology Group infringed their software patents, and Neutron Star Technology said that there was no such thing, so what should we do?
Fight each other for a year and a half or three and five years?
This is extremely good for Microsoft, but quite bad for Neutron Star.
In this case, it depends on which side of the lawyer is better.
"Come to China to fight a lawsuit with us, but you really know how to choose ......a place," Zhong Zixing, who was sitting in the office and looking at the scenery outside the window, sneered.
The team of lawyers in the company who have been raised for three years has to solve some entanglements every year, and now is the time to come in handy.
Those who have long been examined for infringement of major patent claims are well prepared.
As the saying goes, a tech company that hasn't gone through a lawsuit is not a qualified tech company, and when you look closely, it makes perfect sense.
Looking at all high-tech enterprises at home and abroad, Microsoft, Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, Samsung, domestic Huawei Co., Ltd., BOE, Hucheng Microelectronics, Unisplendour, etc., almost all of them have eaten lawsuits all the way.
The various crossovers, licensing, and acquisition groups of patents have set up daunting barriers.
Of course, X wants to sue others, and there are not many high-tech people who sue them for infringement, and the reason is well known.
......
"Hey, Brother Zhong, it's been ...... past two days" Rebus called in, his tone full of concern.
Zhong Zixing smiled: "Brother Lei don't have to worry, Neutron Star has already had a coping strategy, isn't it just a lawsuit, it's difficult for us to lose!" ”
"I'm relieved!" Rebus breathed a long sigh of relief.
An ally in a boat, if Neutron Star Technology fails, Xiao Mi's life will not be easy.
After all, Xiaomi's mobile phone is not only equipped with the Galaxy operating system system, but also the Gemini processor and memory, which are also the two technology products that are subject to lawsuits.
"By the way, the public opinion in the past two days has not affected Xiaomi's sales, right?"
"Hahahaha, you're thinking too much. Not only did it not have an impact, but even the number of users who bought mobile phones began to increase, and I called this time to continue to purchase a batch of chips and operating systems to support neutron stars! ”
Microsoft is suing the PC version of the Galaxy operating system, which has no effect on the mobile version at all.
The memory, processor, operating system, and chip architecture sued by Samsung Electronics, Apple, and Acorn did not list detailed evidence, which was not enough for Neutron Star Technology to remove these products from the shelves.
However, I heard that Rebus, who is full of ambition, has learned from Huawei, V, O, and Meizu, and has begun to lay out abroad, and the number of purchase orders is getting bigger and bigger.
After hanging up the phone, it seemed that he had made an appointment to call during this time period, and Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei Consumer, also purchased a batch of chips and systems on behalf of his company, directly stating his position.
Although the competition in China is fierce, there is a clear understanding of the general meaning, and mobile phone manufacturers such as V, O, and Meizu have called one after another.
Prove with actions that they are allies on one front.
"I had expected Microsoft's lawsuit, but I didn't expect it to come so early, since that's the case...... Then start the struggle for operating system hegemony in advance. ”
Waiting for all the executives to arrive in the conference room on the top floor of the information building, Zhong Zixing announced directly.
Android is an open-source system, in the hands of Google, and now it is watching the excitement, and maybe it will come up and take a bite when it is cheap.
Microsoft's lawsuit is to see the dominance of the Galaxy operating system, and does not want them to enter the PC side to bring a threat to themselves, and Apple also submitted a lawsuit to the domestic court for the first time after Microsoft, accusing the Galaxy operating system of infringing the IOS patent.
The intentions of both are obvious.
Microsoft wants to take this opportunity to seize the time to make up for the loopholes of the new generation system WIN8, complete the real monopoly on the country according to the news spread a few months ago, and win the market in one fell swoop.
Apple saw that it could not recover its decline after losing in the Chinese market, so it simply went all the way to the black.
These two companies are arguably the biggest threat to the Galaxy OS, and they also see the Galaxy OS as the biggest threat.
Zhong Zixing not only did not feel honored, but felt very sick to their sinister intentions in his heart.
"Therefore, if this lawsuit is to be fought beautifully, it must be won as soon as possible!" Professor Li Xianlin, who has been busy with major industrial software, said.
Chen Yufei nodded in agreement, "Not only do you want to fight, it's best to clean up Apple at one time, so that Microsoft's vitality on the PC side will be greatly damaged...... Only in this way will wavering computer manufacturers see the opportunity to come to cooperate! ”
When laying out the operating system, the Information Technology Department expected today, but no one was afraid.
Everything they do is to dominate the market.
With the support of the state openly and covertly, the dream of a software power that everyone has depends on whether this battle can be successful.
"The action of the legal department has also begun, and Microsoft must not be allowed to drag the time down!"
It is not uncommon for patent wars to drag on for three or five years, and I don't know how many companies have stepped into the patent trap of giants, and then they have been swallowed up completely.
Neutron Star Technology is a giant, and at the same time, it has a clear understanding of whether it infringes patents, how can it step into a trap without knowing it?
Zhong Zixing clapped his hands and signaled the excited high-level executives present to calm down.
"Public opinion is set off by them, and the prosecution is also led by them, there is no reason for us neutron stars to passively accept ......"
Forge ahead is one of the company's corporate culture, defend and counterattack when weak, and take the initiative when strong!
I used to be really weak when I first entered, but now I ...... The Neutron Star has won battles again and again, and it is stronger than ever!
"So, while Samsung, Acorn, Apple, and Microsoft are suing us, we also have to find out the points where they infringe our patents, and retaliate!"
His meaning is very obvious, that is, to sue these four companies in the same way, so that they have to accept it.
It's just a matter of stumbling to see who can take advantage of the lawsuit!
......
In less than a day, public opinion on the Internet reversed again.
"Neutron Star Technology counterattacked, listed 128 patents, and sued Microsoft for infringement! 》
"The patent war has escalated again, and Neutron Star has taken Samsung Electronics, Acorn, Apple, and Microsoft to court! 》
"The Supreme Court of the People's Republic of China accepted the case and issued a court summons to the Big Four! 》
No one expected that at such a critical moment, Neutron Star not only did not panic, but began to fight back, collecting evidence of the infringement of the four giants.
