Davira whistled and picked out her gown in a happy mood.

His fingers wandered through his neatly hung coat, eventually stopping at a light gray suit. That's it, the outfit is paired with a twill tie, which happens to be the same suit that President Anderson wore when he signed the New Shanxi Ceasefire Agreement. Tonight, as a dress to accept surrender, there is nothing more perfect than this!

Davila was in his forties, with a resolute and handsome face and a determined and aggressive gaze. As one of the radical legislators of the Westland Party, he has always been portrayed as radical and ambitious in the eyes of the public, often putting forward clearly targeted proposals. And the recent uproar of the "Muxing Act" is another masterpiece from his hands.

On the table at hand was an invitation card in the classical style, which was from the "Jinghua" law firm, inviting him to tonight's reception. Davis believes that this is a sign of the "Jinghua" representing the soft Xingxing, and he will dress up to accept the full surrender of the "Jinghua" firm.

Davila smiled confidently in the mirror - another success - and honestly he was used to it.

Unlike the overwhelming media publicity, the passage of a bill, especially a proposal to amend the patent law, is certainly not so simple. The media is just further misleading the people, deliberately saying in a vague tone that the "Muxing Act" has entered the substantive stage to guide the people's intentions - that statement is actually wrong. Muxing's patent is a big piece of cake, and it is impossible for either Cerberus or the Weidi Party to swallow it alone.

They first form a majority in parliament through a series of exchange of interests. First, make sure that the proposal can be passed smoothly;

Second, manipulate the Star Federation to make a slight concession in the diplomatic negotiations of the Citadel. This would not only win the favor of the Citadel Councillors, but also allow the Citadel Council's proposal for "obvious infringement of the patent agreement". Make an attitude of ignorance. Of course, after sacrificing the benefits gained by the Star Alliance on the battlefield, the military side also needs to be appeased.

Finally, after the cake is divided, the people are left with a little scrap - about some cheap product on the market, or two or three full discounts - to show that they are also benefiting.

It was a tacit spoils meeting...... If Mu Xing is still in Starlink, and continues to control the entire frontier of science and technology strongly. No one dared to say anything more. At that time, Jupiter was a god, and she could do whatever she wanted in the great Federation Council! But Mu Xing has been missing for a long time now. And she took the initiative to cut off the interests of large enterprises. After losing the support of those people, the cake she left behind deserves to be watched by everyone.

As for the legendary "alien threat", hehe, it is passed on every year. Who cares? Again. Even if it is really invaded by aliens, you can still rely on the army, and you can also incite the masses to go to the front, who said that you must rely on Mu Xing?! No matter how advanced the technology is, it must be made into a weapon to be powerful, and the more powerful the weapon, the more complex it is to manufacture and the longer it will take. It's really a critical moment, and it's probably useless to hold Mu Xing's Buddha foot temporarily.

Now. From the political proposal to the direction of public opinion, Davis has been fully prepared, and I believe that Mu Xing and "Jinghua" have felt the huge pressure from all levels! If they declare a total surrender. Davis would graciously accept Cerberus's offer on behalf of them; If they continue to be ignorant, then Davis doesn't mind letting the hammer fall and let the bill really get into effect.

At that time, Muxing, who has been deprived of patent rights, will have nothing!

He opened the curtains, and New York was as red as blood in the setting sun, it was really a good weather to fall.

*****

The reception was still in the traditional open-air format, with the men being polite and the women being very glamorous. The crowd is staggered, and the guests are in groups.

During all kinds of courteous entertainment, Congressman Davis did not forget his goal for tonight, and he found that most of the guests invited by the "Jinghua" office today were business magnates, and most of them were manufacturing enterprises, and it seemed that there were slightly fewer politicians present...... This made him frown. Davis was very self-conscious and arrived very late, and no one would be later than him. But then the warm greeting of the general manager of "Jinghua" made his mood relax.

After 9 o'clock, the beautiful general manager of the "Jinghua" office ended the conversation with the guest who was talking and walked up to the small table arranged in front of the hall.

As if they knew that the main drama was coming, the guests tacitly gathered around the stage and looked at the Asari woman with burning eyes. Although the cake has been placed on the table, Davis is not the only one who can share the cake for everyone! If the "Jinghua" firm took the initiative to give up the rights and interests of those patents on behalf of Mu Xing, then as the "former owner", she is also one of the people who have the right to divide the cake, which is the reason why these business giants are happy to come. They wanted to participate in the feast of sharing, but they were not very willing to look up to Cerberus's snort.

“…… On behalf of the 'Patent Sharing Association', Jinghua Law Firm welcomes everyone's ......"

The opening remarks of the general manager of "Jinghua" suddenly made the guests feel a little dazed.

Isn't it on behalf of Ms. Muxing? What the hell is this "Patent Sharing Rights Association"?! All right...... Because the "Jinghua" law firm is always released to bite people on behalf of Mu Xing, over time, in the eyes of Starlink, the "Jinghua" law firm has been equated with Mu Xing, so I didn't realize it for a while. They had to think about it for a while, and then they realized that "Jinghua" was a law firm that was open for business!

Of course, they can also take on other businesses! And tonight is the invitation of the "Jinghua" office...... In other words, it doesn't have to be on behalf of Ms. Muxing.

After thinking about this, most people immediately shouted "pit daddy" in their hearts! Most of them were divided by the interests left by Mu Xing.

But at this moment, a crisp sound of glass breaking sounded in the crowd, echoing in the empty hall for a long time, and everyone heard it clearly. Everyone turned their heads in surprise, looking for who was so out of shape. Then I saw Congressman Davis standing there with a pale face. He was still in the position of serving wine, but his glass had already broken on the floor.

Although the companies managed by these giants use a large number of patents, they are all handled by the people or firms below. There is no need for the leaders to personally care about these things, so they don't know about the "Patent Commons Association". But Congressman Davis has recently studied patent-related laws and businesses because of the "Muxing Act". Therefore, he not only knew the name of the "Patent Sharing Rights Association", but also knew that it was a behemoth comparable to the Starlink Council!

Patent law was originally enacted to protect the interests of developers.

However, in the 21st century, patents have gradually become a tool for dividing interests and markets. There are endless and diverse patent applications of all kinds, covering almost all levels of society. So much so that it is better for manufacturing companies not to produce any goods, and as soon as they produce, they will infringe patents! And patent owners often take advantage of the protection of patent law to unscrupulously release the greedy thoughts in their hearts. Always trying to devour the vast majority of the benefits of the commodity.

If an enterprise wants to successfully develop and put into production new products, the cost of patents alone will account for more than one-third of the total cost! Around patent rights, thousands of patent lawsuits have to be fought every day. Indirectly fed countless patent attorneys - by this time. Patents have gone from being a driver of social progress to an obstacle.

Then, the "Citadel Patent Agreement" was born. In addition to a stricter approach to patent applications; Significantly reduce the number of unimportant patents, such as "shape design" patents, "process patents", etc., which are outside the patent period; There are also clear constraints on patent profitability to ensure the viability of production enterprises.

In the private sector, various patent-sharing organizations have also sprung up - these organizations obtain the patents they need through patent exchanges, further reducing production costs; Meantime. These organizations also put patent applicants together in order to protect the interests of patent applicants in order to fight against new patent agreements. And these organizations act as intermediaries. It not only participates in patent exchange, but also provides patent pledge, pre-loan, application assistance, venture capital and other functions......

In the course of development, these organizations gradually changed from intermediaries to exchange subjects, hence the name - patent banks.

From the moment of their birth, patent banks were destined to be behemoths, and their deterrent power even exceeded that of traditional banks. The "Patent Sharing Rights Association" is the latest one to rise in recent years among the giants of patent banks!

By this time, if Congressman Davis hadn't realized what was happening, he would have been a complete idiot......

Sure enough, as if he hadn't seen the gaffe of the councilor, the moderator continued to smile and said, "I am honored to inform you that the 'Patent Sharing Rights Association' holds 54% of the shares of Jinghua Law Firm, and it is the majority shareholder of our firm. And the 'Jinghua' firm has also been acting as an agent for all the legal affairs of the 'Patent Sharing Rights Association'......" At this time, the giants present already roughly knew the energy of this behemoth through their assistants, and immediately paid attention to it accordingly.

Their enterprises, to a greater or lesser extent, have shared or even borrowed patents from the "Patent Sharing Rights Association", and this association is the so-called community of interests!

So when the host's gaze swept over the audience, almost all the guests smiled and nodded at her in goodwill. Finally, her gaze rested on the pale-faced Councillor Davis.

Davis was not reconciled, so he smiled reluctantly, and suddenly pushed the person in front of him and walked to the front of the small platform. "So, what is the relationship between the 'Patent Sharing Rights Association' and Ms. Mu Xing......" he asked relentlessly.

"Ms. Mu Xing is the president of the 'Patent Sharing Rights Association'!"

As if he knew that he would ask this question, the host did not hesitate to give a shocking answer. "Ms. Mu Xing has deposited a total of 45,000 patents in the association! Of course, there are also those that ...... the 'Muxing Act' wants to make public. I heard that the bill was submitted by the Councillor? I don't know what you think of the 1.55 million patents currently owned by the association, and maybe you want to ask us to disclose all of them? Hehe~"

In today's extremely strict patent agreements, applying for a patent is no longer something that can be completed with a few pieces of paper and a few dozen dollars a year. Today's patent applications, each of which is a real scientific and technological innovation! With more than 1.5 million patents, this is an unimaginable force! And the stakeholders it represents are even more unimaginable......

Davis only felt a surge of blood rush up, and he almost vomited on the spot.

But the host's gaze only flickered over him, then turned back to the guests in the hall and continued. "In view of the recent deterioration of Siiilink's patent protection, the 'Patent Sharing Rights Association' has decided to downgrade Siiico's patent sharing level from 'trust level' to 'exchange level', and the patent credit will also change from 'comprehensive credit' to 'key credit' for enterprises. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause......"

Davis couldn't hear the rest of the words, and he fainted in horror under the eyes of the business magnates present who were eager to tear him apart. (To be continued......)
