The Ferguson Grand Magician was stunned for a moment, and his expression was slightly embarrassed.

The middle-aged magician was right, the term "magic patent" and even the entire concept of the patent were all proposed by Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, a few years ago, and applied to the headquarters of the Magician Union through the Magicians Guild of the Lampari Kingdom, and finally approved under the approval of the Magicians Guild Headquarters.

Since this concept was completely put forward by Xu Yi, then Xu Yi certainly has the most say in this kind of thing.

Now that the union headquarters claims that Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have no relevant powers, it is no wonder that they are not convinced.

After a moment of silence, the Ferguson Grand Magician coughed lightly and said, "This concept is indeed the first to be proposed by President Xu. But since this concept involves magic and magicians, it already falls under the jurisdiction of our Wizards' Guild. Moreover, after President Xu proposed this concept, his original purpose was to use the power of the Guò Magicians' Union to protect any and other patented concepts he proposed. Am I right, President Xu?"

Xu Yi nodded lightly: "That's right." At the beginning, the reason why I hoped that the Magicians' Guild would recognize the concept of patents was that I hoped that the Magicians' Guild would be able to protect patents with the help of its capabilities, so that the research on magical machinery could have a better space for development. ”

"That's right. Seeing Xu Yi admit this calmly, the Ferguson Grand Magician breathed a sigh of relief. "Since President Xu himself also recognized that our Magician Guild has this power, and took the initiative to hand over the qualification to exercise this power to the hands of our union headquarters. So why do you want to form a magic machinery patent protection federation on your own?"

"Your Excellency Ferguson Magician, you seem to have mistaken something. Xu Yi smiled.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"I proposed the concept of a patent to the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild. Indeed, it is hoped that the power of the Guò Magicians' Guild will protect the magic patents of us magicians. But you're ignoring the fact that we're paying the price for the patent while getting the protection of the patent from the Wizards' Guild headquarters. I don't know anything else, but just our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce paid more than 140,000 gold coins to the Magicians' Guild in patent protection fees last year. It's not a small amount of money......"

The Ferguson Archmage snorted coldly: "Why, isn't it natural to let the union protect your patents and spend some money?"

"Of course, of course it should be. I have never denied it. Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked unceremoniously: "But, Ferguson Grand Magician." You have to figure out one thing. We pay patent protection fees to the Wizards' Guild in the belief that the Magicians' Guild has the ability to protect our patent rights. So it's an active choice, not a necessity. ”

"What do you mean by that?" said Ferguson Archmagician's face changed. "Do you Xinfei Guild want to break away from the patent protection of our Wizards' Guild?"

"What I mean by this is that we have the option to pay royalties to the Wizards' Guild. In exchange for the protection of the patent by the Wizards' Guild. Then, of course, you can choose not to pay this money......"

"Then you will lose the protection of your patents from the Wizards' Guild!" Ferguson Archmagician unceremoniously interrupted Xu Yi's words.

"Yes, that's true. But this means that we have the ability to choose on our own initiative, rather than having to pay patent protection fees to the Wizards' Union. Great Magician Ferguson, do you understand what I mean?" Xu Yi said.

"So you're going to set up a consortium for the protection of magical machinery patents on your own, collect this patent protection fee yourself, and protect these patents yourself?" said Archmagician Ferguson with a sneer. "President Xu, what do you think...... It's up to you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Do you have what it takes to do that? I can tell you unequivocally, except for us in the Wizards' Guild. There is no other organization on the Sainz continent that can do this!"

"I admit it, at least for now. But ......" Xu Yi stared at the Ferguson Grand Magician, his eyes revealing an incomparably sharp gaze. "Since the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild is no longer able to protect our patents, then of course we will have to figure it out on our own. No matter how difficult it is, it must be done. ”

Being stared at by Xu Yi's gaze, the Ferguson Grand Magician involuntarily tilted his head slightly to avoid Xu Yi's gaze.

"President Xu, I don't understand what you mean. Why do you say that we in the Wizards' Guild can't protect your patents?"

"You really don't understand?" Xu Yi smiled and nodded to the few researchers sitting next to him.

The researchers got up and walked out of the conference room in unison.

Just as the Grand Wizard of Ferguson wondered, it wasn't long before they re-entered with two elves and three dwarves, along with a few domestic magic machines.

"President Xu, what are you doing?" asked Archmage Ferguson.

Xu Yi didn't answer, but just gestured to those people.

The middle-aged male researcher who had asked the Ferguson Archmage a question before moved a magic fan in his hand to the table, pointed at it, and said, "Your Excellency, do you know this magic fan?"

Archmagician Ferguson glanced at the magic fan inexplicably and shook his head.

"This magic fan is not a new flying brand magic fan produced by our Chamber of Commerce, but was found from the Candela Empire. The middle-aged male researcher continued. "To put it simply, it's a magic fan designed and produced by another Chamber of Commerce whose name we don't know yet. ”

"What? What's so strange about this? As far as I know, there are dozens of chambers of commerce that can produce magic fans, besides your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right?" said Ferguson Archmagician.

"That's right. However, in addition to our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, other chambers of commerce that want to produce magic fans must obtain the relevant patent authorization of our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it will violate the patent protection regulations of the Wizards Union. You should be well aware of that, right?" asked the middle-aged male researcher.

"Hmm. That's ......" Ferguson Archmagician glanced at the magic fan again, a hint of foreboding passing through his mind.

The middle-aged male researcher pointed to the base of the magic fan and continued, "All the commercial taxes that have been authorized by our patents. We have remarks in the Chamber of Commerce. However, this magic fan does not have the brand logo of any of these chambers of commerce that have been granted patents, so I can be sure that this magic fan must have stolen the relevant patents of our chamber of commerce on magic fans!"

The Ferguson Grand Magician frowned: "How can you be sure of this?"

The middle-aged male researcher glanced at him, a hint of contempt in his expression.

"Your Excellency Ferguson Magician, you deserve to surpass me in magical abilities, but I am undoubtedly much better than you in my knowledge of magical machinery. ”

The Ferguson Grand Magician was furious. This sentence is clearly to say that he, a layman, is not qualified to question!

"So what do you mean by talking for a long time?" said the Ferguson Archmage angrily.

"Don't you understand?" said the middle-aged male researcher with a surprised expression. "Our patents have been so clearly infringed on by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and your Wizards' Guild has not only failed to investigate how to punish it. In order to protect the patents of our Chamber of Commerce, even when our Chamber of Commerce is now trying to use its own power to protect its own patents, you still have to forcibly stop it! Those patent protection fees that our Chamber of Commerce handed over to the headquarters. Where do you use it?"

The other party took a bite of "you", which made the great magician of Ferguson very unhappy.

This guy is obviously a ninth-level magician, but he has no sense of belonging to the Wizards' Union, and when he calls the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he has a "we", which in the eyes of the Ferguson Grand Magician, it really makes him, one of the members of the Council of Elders of the Wizards Union, very dissatisfied.

But the question asked by the other party was real, and he couldn't help but answer.

After a moment of silence. Ferguson Grand Magician Zhengse said: "Regarding this matter, as long as you report it to the union headquarters." Of course, the headquarters will conduct a thorough investigation and do everything in its power to protect your patents. But this kind of thing can't be solved in a day or two, it will take some time. In addition, this has nothing to do with the fact that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has privately formed a Magic Machinery Patent Protection Federation, and you can't deny the union's efforts to protect patents just because your patent has been infringed once. ”

"Effort?" the middle-aged male researcher sneered. "Your Excellency Ferguson, it has been more than half a year since our Chamber of Commerce first discovered a similar situation and filed an application for patent protection with the headquarters of the trade union. In the past six months, we have found far more cases of patent infringement. ”

The other researchers, along with the two elves and the three dwarves, put the household magic machine on the table and began to make introductions.

As the middle-aged male researcher described just now, these household magic machines are not from other unknown chambers of commerce that have not been authorized by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so they naturally infringe on the patent rights of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"We pay a lot of patent protection fees to the Magicians' Guild every year, but we can't get the corresponding protection from the union, so why should we trust the union? Why can't we figure it out ourselves?"

Facing the question of the middle-aged male researcher, the Ferguson Grand Magician was silent for a moment and turned his head to look at Xu Yi.

"President Xu, is that what you mean?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "From a business point of view, this is very simple. If I give money but don't work, why should I give it again?"

The Ferguson Grand Magician looked at Xu Yi with a gloomy face: "So, you don't plan to accept the resolution of the union headquarters?

Xu Yi looked at him squarely: "The purpose of the Magician Guild is to bring help to the magicians on the Sainz continent and protect their interests. If you can't do this, and instead deprive the magicians of their rights, then there is no need for the magicians' union to save zài at all. ”

The Ferguson Grand Magician was stunned, then laughed angrily.

"Okay, okay, President Xu, don't regret doing this!"

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left. (To be continued......)
