"Ling Yuanruo."

Huang Ligong had a smile on his face, his hand in front of him, ready to shake hands with her. The girl in front of her was of medium height, with a round face, shoulder-length hair tucked behind her ears, ordinary eyebrows and eyes, but with a smile of her own, and a little proudly cocked, as if she was about to fly.

Wang Miao stretched out her hand and pointed at Huang Ligong and said to Ling Yuanruo, "This is Huang Ligong." It is Liu Ruiyang's good friend that I often talk to you about, and they founded Kunpeng Robot together. ”

Ling Yuanruo stretched out his hand and shook hands with Huang Ligong, "Please take a seat." ”

Huang Ligong sat down on the chair directly opposite the desk, and Wang Miao sat on the chair next to him. Ling Yuanruo returned to his office chair.

"I've read all the materials you sent, and I've also checked the New Jersey court files."

Huang Ligong glanced at Wang Miao and thought that he had not found the wrong person, and he was really resolute. Wang Miao smiled back. Before coming to New York, Huang Ligong called Wang Miao first and explained the situation in general, Wang Miao said, you should have come to me from the beginning. She has a good friend, a practicing lawyer, who is very good, and his main focus is on intellectual property. Like Wang Miao, she went to New York for graduate school, stayed in the United States after graduation, and obtained professional qualifications as a lawyer in New York and New Jersey. It's a time for a career to skyrocket, and it's time for a case of sufficient weight to establish a position in the industry – so we're going all out. Huang Ligong was overjoyed and booked an international flight in the early morning of the next day, although there was a stopover, it was exactly morning in New York. Before leaving, he asked the legal department to sort out all the materials, and the R&D department prepared materials related to the reducer, and sent them to Wang Miao late at night.

"You've got to give it your all."

"It's not good for us, is it?"

"Yes."

"Is it very unlikely that we will win?"

"You should never ask a lawyer if you're going to win, just as a lawyer can never ask if you're innocent." Ling Yuanruo said. Huang wasn't sure if she was smiling, because her eyes seemed to be smiling forever. "However, we have an atypical commission, if any. I need to know more before I can make a sound judgment. However, as far as the information currently available, if it is dealt with reasonably, Ruili Technology has a greater chance of winning the lawsuit than Digong Group. ”

"Huh?" Huang Ligong was more surprised than happy, this answer was unexpected, so why did she say that the situation was very unfavorable?

"The strategy of applying to the court for an ex parte interim injunction is a bit unusual." Ling Yuanruo said, "It rarely uses this strategy. Normally, with the attitude of Ruili Technology, it can apply for a formal injunction through the hearing process, which lasts much longer and is more lethal. Ex parte interim injunctions are more likely to be revoked on appeal. ”

"Do they think they have a chance to win?"

"It's more of a reminder to take it seriously."

"That's kind." Huang Ligong smiled bitterly. No, as soon as the temporary ban came, others rushed to New York in a hurry. Not being able to ship for two weeks was enough for him to realize how serious the consequences were. "Why should they do this? Don't want to win? ”

"Maybe you're right. Maybe it wants to drag you down more than winning. ”

Huang Ligong heard the subtle difference. "I want to drag you down more than win the lawsuit" and "even if I can't win the lawsuit, I will win you" seem to be similar, but when it comes to strategic deployment and specific implementation, there is a world of difference. He ignited his confidence, "Isn't it more valuable to them if they win the lawsuit?" Is it because they know it's hard to win, so they try to consume us? ”

"It's a possibility. There are many other possibilities. For example, it wants to buy you at a low price. This is a common tactic for large groups to hostile takeovers of small, innovative companies. ”

"I'm not going to let them buy it."

"At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to decide. Pressure from shareholders, pressure from management, pressure from employees, or just to keep your heart and soul going for yourself. ”

Foreman Huang Li exhaled, he knew that what Ling Yuanruo said was right. "What should we do?"

"Let's take a look at where we are. Now is a dilemma. If you don't take it seriously, judging by the consistent performance of the Imperial Group, you may lose the lawsuit, and that is to lose the future in the world's major markets. If Emperor Gong does it well, you will either pay a high price, compensation or patent licensing, or be embargoed by the United States, which means that all technologies and products that are related to the United States will be closed to you, which is basically devastating to the supply chain.

If you are prepared, the Imperial Group will do its best to drag you into the quagmire of positional warfare, drag you down before the lawsuit is over, and put your business and cash flow in jeopardy. It has a wealth of experience and methods to drag the lawsuit out of your capacity. That's why I said, the situation is very bad for you. ”

The air conditioning in the office was sufficient, and Huang Ligong's sweat beads still oozed out of his forehead.

"You have to determine a reasonable target to respond to, and the key now is not to win the case, but to end the case as soon as possible."

"What does it mean to end a lawsuit?"

"Winning a case is ideal, but settling out of court or forcing the other party to drop the case, even for a fee, may be a more realistic and valuable goal for you. The point is, fast. ”

Huang Ligong nodded heavily. "I agree! So what's going to be done now? ”

"The first thing is to file a motion to set aside the temporary injunction. The consideration of the US court in the interim injunction is mainly the balance of damages, and there are two core principles: how likely is the patentee to win the case; and the extent of the damage suffered by the patentee if a preliminary injunction is not made, and whether it will be difficult to remedy. It amounts to a mathematically desirable concept, weighed against the defendant's damages. At present, this ban is due to the indifference of Ruili Technology. Now that the motion is filed, it should not be difficult to dismiss it. ”

"That's good." Huang Ligong felt a little more relaxed.

"The next step is to fully understand the situation, go deep into the business, and formulate a specific response strategy. It will take some time and will require your unreserved, complete cooperation. The more aggressive and disruptive the response strategy, the more likely it is that the case will be closed sooner. ”

Huang Ligong groaned, hesitated, and said, "Can I say a few words to Wang Miao?" ”

Ling Yuanruo spread his hands. Huang Ligong and Wang Miao walked out of the office and went down the corridor to the window.

"You can trust this friend, right?" Huang Ligong asked in a low voice.

"Of course."

"Total trust?"

"Of course."

"The highest level, it's like completely handing the company into her hands."

Wang Miao smiled and said in a tone of great certainty, "You can trust her completely." There is no problem with all the net worth in her hands. ”

Huang Ligong's eyes have been staring at Wang Miao like an awl, her smile is very different, and it seems to have a deep meaning. He felt a little weird in his heart, but he could feel her strong openness and confidence. There's not much room for error, so bet on it.

Back in the office, Ling Yuanruo put his hands on the table, waiting for them quietly.

"Can you go to China?"

Ling Yuanruo was stunned for a moment.

"It's going to take a while." Huang Ligong added. He caught a glimpse of Ling Yuanruo's hand trembling slightly, her eyes staring at something. It's not him, it's Wang Miao beside him. There's a weird and subtle vibe in the air.

Ling Yuanruo quickly regained his composure. "You want me to be in China and develop a strategy to respond to the lawsuit?"

"Because you are to lead them. I would like to entrust you completely. Huang Ligong briefly described the situation faced by Ruili Technology, "I have to go all out to solve the control crisis now, and I will not be in the company most of the time." You are not just a lawyer, you represent me and lead them through this difficult time. So I hope you can go to China, Liu Ruiyang will fully cooperate with you. ”

Ling Yuanruo didn't hesitate, "I'll do it next." ”

When saying goodbye, Huang Ligong shook hands with Ling Yuanruo, "It's all entrusted to you." Ling Yuanruo nodded solemnly. Wang Miao opened her arms, hugged Ling Yuanruo tightly, and said in her ear, "I'm very happy. ”

Huang Ligong heard her voice with a little choked.
