Chapter Forty-Nine: Defeat the Barriers! Full crushing!
Originally, patents were subject to internal examination in various countries, and generally speaking, it was difficult to protect rights.
But the opponent of Modu Microelectronics is, after all, the famous Sendler Capital......
Even this patent research agency is rumored to have received capital injection from Sendler Capital.
It makes sense that it will come so quickly.
After Sun Changfeng sighed unexpectedly, he immediately became serious:
"Come on, come on."
"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth."
"See what they can do?"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The other side.
The United States twisted the contract.
The headquarters building of Sendler Capital.
Lewis had just learned from Olier that the patent investigation team was on their way to Modu Microelectronics.
Hearing this report, his eyes were extremely grim.
"This is the last moment they can be proud of."
"Originally, we made a fortune quietly, but our methods may not be so drastic......"
"Who told you to come to your own door?"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
August 4, 2023 at 15:00 p.m.
Modu Microelectronics Lithography Machine Laboratory.
The 2nm lithography machine has been dismantled by the engineers of Modu Microelectronics at this time, and it is not at all as scientific and technological as when it was placed here by Yingzheng before.
Not to mention the sense of technology, at this time, he can't even see his original appearance at all.
Many of these important components have been dismantled and are missing.
At first glance, it looks like there are only some basic empty shells left.
At this time, a team of fifteen people from the patent investigation agency arrived in the laboratory of Modu Microelectronics.
These people were full of pride, except for the woman who led the team, they were all engineers in white lab coats. Even a few of them made Sun Changfeng feel familiar......
Many of them used to be senior engineers at SML.
The other party really came prepared.
"I'm Investigator Gladys."
The woman in a black suit and high heels pushed her glasses very intellectually, and said expressionlessly:
"Let's check your products for infringements."
"Please assist us in our investigation."
She originally thought that she would be resisted extremely strongly, but Sun Changfeng, who was standing in front of her, just nodded:
"Okay."
This woman named Gladys looked at Sun Changfeng but was stunned for a moment, she was a little surprised that it would go so smoothly.
A few years ago, the international patent investigation agency she worked for also came to this magic capital microelectronics, but that time it was for the 90nm lithography machine.
And this time, the other party seems to be very confident?
Do you think you won't find out the problem?
I really don't know where these dragon people get their confidence.
Although it is said that this is a dragon country, there are also relevant patent protection regulations in the dragon country.
They can't even fail to obey the rules of the dragon kingdom......
Even if it is finally confirmed that they can continue to use it, the lithography machine will not be able to go on sale in the intervening time.
Because SML has a lot of patents, even some patents that are not used in finished lithography machines.
She thought to herself:
"Mr. Lewis is very clear......"
"The patent barriers for lithography machines are strict, and they have no loopholes to drill."
Thinking of this, Gladys's heart swept away the gloom.
She sneered arrogantly, and raised her chin very disdainfully towards the dilapidated laboratory.
More than a dozen professionals immediately began a comprehensive search and search of the 2nm lithography machine.
Of course, in addition to detaching two people to verify the lithography machine itself...... Most of the data sampling and related infringement evidence are still obtained from blueprints and engineering design drawings.
The vast laboratory immediately fell silent, except for the occasional crackling keyboard.
Minutes and seconds passed......
During this long wait, Gladyse felt a little strange.
According to Mr. Lewis, the data and parameters of these lithography machines should be inseparable from their patents.
And these engineers have long been thoroughly understood, as long as there is any problem with the key technology, even if it is the act of rubbing the edge, they will be immediately prosecuted and banned......
What's more, there are only a few core patented technologies, and even many technologies that are not used in SML lithography machines have been blocked.
It stands to reason that they should be able to find out the cat soon.
But why...... An hour has passed and there is no sound yet?
Looking at the engineers who were investigating, Gladys felt more and more depressed.
So she tentatively asked Sun Changfeng:
"You should understand that once there is a patent infringement, all your engineering activities must be stopped."
"I can remind you that you have no loopholes to ...... in the related technology of 2nmEUV lithography machine."
But Sun Changfeng nodded absently, and interrupted her rudely:
"Yes, yes, yes."
Gladys looked at Sun Changfeng's attitude, narrowed her eyes, and was a little annoyed.
But in my heart, I already felt something bad.
But at this moment, only a gasp of cold air was heard from the quiet laboratory.
"Hissββ!"
She frowned and looked in the direction the voice was coming from......
An exclamation came from the mouth of the engineer she brought?
What's going on?
Just when her face was full of suspicion, she heard the engineer's excited voice come out again:
"It can't be!"
"It's really a mature extreme ultraviolet light incidence technology!?"
"How did you do that!?"
"Where's the details!? What about the data!? Can you please take a look!? β
After saying this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
This is not SML.
So he immediately fell silent again, and looked intently at the documents, still amazed at his face.
The other engineer suddenly stood up, looked at Sun Changfeng in surprise, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
He immediately looked at the computer screen again, stared at the blueprint with wide eyes, and began to mumble to himself:
"How could it be ......"
"How is that possible?"
And the engineer's reaction was like a fuse......
The 14 engineers from SML began to do the same.
"My God...... It's a genius design! β
"Who came up with it? Who came up with this plan!? I have to know his name! β
"Who is your chief engineer? Be sure to let me talk to him! β
Seeing this, Gladys's eyes widened.
She never thought that in this laboratory, such a picture would appear!
The engineers who had their eyes above the top were as surprised as if they had never seen the market!
Could it be that the Dragon Kingdom has really taken a completely different path!?
Judging by the reactions of these engineers, this path turned out to be better than SML's!?
How can it be?
As a patent examiner, she certainly knows ......
If Modu Microelectronics really opens up a new road, it means that SML will no longer have an advantage!
No matter how much money Sendler Capital throws into it, it will be in vain!
Patent blockade will reverse the offensive!
In terms of market competition, they will be crushed like a wither!
At this moment, she turned her head to look at Sun Changfeng in astonishment.
found that Sun Changfeng's face was calm, and the old god was there.
For a moment, she only felt a feeling of palpitations surging all over her body!
β¦β¦
Although Sun Changfeng didn't show anything on his face, now looking at this woman's extremely surprised and unprepared look, he was extremely happy in his heart!
A few years ago, the 90nm lithography machine they had just prepared for mass production was picked on by these retarded people to find trouble, and it was really hot at that time!
And now, looking at the shocked look of the engineers from SML......
What a cool word!?
The reason why they are allowed to check ......
In fact, of course, Sun Changfeng and others were prepared!
As early as the early hours of August 4, they had thought that something like this would happen.
Otherwise, Deng Qiao would not have released the news of the successful development of this 2nm lithography machine.
The previous experience in dealing with patent testing certainly gave them great confidence......
The source of confidence is a small USB flash drive on that lithography machine!
Although the 2nm lithography machine is obviously from SML, the 2nm lithography technology recorded in the USB flash drive is more advanced and mature than the finished 2nm lithography machine!
Therefore, the transferred lithography machine was disassembled into that picture, precisely because they wanted to upgrade the 2nm lithography machine in an all-round way on this basis!
In the early morning of August 4, after discovering the USB flash drive that can be called a treasure, they have applied for all the patents.
Of course, Sun Changfeng knew in his heart that this was definitely the help provided by that traverser!
Otherwise, how could it be possible to have such a perfect technology? Otherwise, how could it be possible to completely bypass the patent barrier?
It can be said that ...... It was because of the existence of that traverser that they really completed the corner overtaking!
Let Longguo finally gain a firm foothold in the high-end chip industry!
And it's leading the world!
According to Chief Engineer Zhao Xingchang......
Whether it is power consumption or yield rate, the 2nm lithography machine drawings they have mastered can completely beat SML's 2nmEUV lithography machine!
There is no need to worry about patent examination at all, because it is simply the product of two sets of logic!
So I don't have to worry about letting them see it at all, not to mention that after the application for these patents is completed, they themselves are also open to the world.
Anyone can access relevant patent information through the IP Office.
But this also means that other companies or capital, even if they understand the method, cannot use it......
According to patent law, you can't take advantage of this!
Sendler Capital originally wanted to lock the shackles of Longguo's lithography machine industry, but this time it was put on its head!
As we all know, even if Sendler Capital suffers this loss, it is impossible to break this mature patent mechanism!
Because this set of rules is also beneficial to themselves!
If they want to break the rules of patents, their losses will only be greater!
Once they are the first to ignore the rules and use someone else's patent in violation of the law......
Then the beneficiary will be the dragon kingdom in the final analysis!
This is Yangmou!
Above board, unabashed complete victory!
From this moment on, overseas lithography machine technology will plummet!
No capital will continue to invest in an industry that has no profit output!
What does this mean?
It represents that Longguo will be the absolute leader of the lithography machine industry in the future!
It represents that the Dragon Kingdom has finally completed the anti-encirclement of the technology of external capital!
It represents that the dragon country directly stands at the peak of the 2nm lithography machine!
β¦β¦
According to Moore's Law, every 18 months, the chip manufacturing process doubles.
But that law is being broken.
Because of the existence of the quantum tunneling effect, the next stage of 1nm process chips will be greatly reduced in terms of heat generation and stability!
And Longguo, which is directly standing on the pinnacle of 2nm, will be the absolute king of the chip industry in the next three years!
With this almost "perfect" 2nm lithography machine design background, their future will be extremely bright!
Looking at Gladys's dumbfounded appearance at this moment, Sun Changfeng was very excited and extremely happy.
This ecstasy, this excitement, made his hands tremble constantly.
Even if you clench your fists, you can't restrain yourself.
"Thanks to the ......"
"If not, our chip industry will always be constrained by the West......"
"How many years will it take to have a chance to overtake?"
"When I see that traverser one day, I really don't know how to thank you!"
