As for royalties, there is no need to worry about them at all.

This is forced by the Arcane Federation to collect from each mage tower, and it doesn't matter if the mage tower is used or not, anyway, the technology is given to you, even if you don't use it, the payment of patent fees is indispensable.

Although the Arcane Federation does not have direct jurisdiction over the individual member mage towers, there are too many places to control the mage towers.

Not to mention, with the annual share of Mithril and the access to the color-resistant scrolls alone, no Mage Tower would dare to ignore the rules of the Arcane Federation.

Before the Three Kingdoms Mithril Contract was completely loosened, it would be difficult for Nesseriel to have self-refined Mithril, and if you don't count on the Arcane Federation, can you still count on elves or dwarves?

This is the Mage Tower, and for individual spellcasters, the Arcane Federation is not so binding, so simply let it go.

However, if an individual caster wants to obtain a patented spell or technology, he must join the mage tower to obtain it, and the mage tower is forced to pay, how can those individuals be white!

In fact, the vast majority of the mages in Nesserel are organized, and the so-called wild mages are actually very few, and they are not at all climate.

Of course, this is just for now, and in the future, when magic becomes more popular, there may be many wild mages.

But at that time, the competitiveness of the organization will only be stronger, and the wild mage will only be more unstable.

In terms of patents, the practice on the planet is very similar to that of this place, and patent fees are generally only charged to companies involved in commercial transformation, and for personal use, as long as it is not too excessive, most of them are also left alone.

The only difference is that the royalties on the side of the Austrian Federation are compulsory.

Xia Duo has actually been skeptical about this, and the forced collection can indeed guarantee the creator's income, but it is not very friendly to many mage towers that do not use patented technology or do not have enough financial resources.

Think about it, if a mage tower has not had a new patent registration for a long time, then the royalties it needs to pay to other mage towers every year will become a huge burden.

Maybe it will lead to the bankruptcy of the Mage Tower.

It's nothing for one or two mage towers to go bankrupt, I'm afraid that a rich mage tower like the Seven Towers will force a large number of mage towers to go bankrupt as soon as they make a move.

Xia Duo suspected that this rule might have been designated by the Seven Towers, in order to create the conditions for a merger at some point in the future.

After reading the investigation report handed over by Iolem, while the two presidents of the Arcane Federation were here, Xia Duo took the opportunity to propose to register a patent for this new technology that can reduce the production cost of magical items.

But at the same time, he also raised some questions about the collection of patent fees, mainly the issue of indiscriminate compulsory collection.

He was very concerned about this, and although he was now a profiteer, who could guarantee that no one would suddenly register a large number of patents and then use the royalties to collapse the Tower of Time at once?

Maybe the Seven Towers don't have any plans in this regard, but Xia Duo from Earth is particularly sensitive to loopholes in this regard.

Facing Xia Duo's question, Iolem shook his head again and again, "Lord Xia Duo, it is indeed worthy of being the lord who can take the lead in the popularization of magic education in the territory, and the angle you consider is indeed something we have never thought of." But now that you know, it's a headache! ”

"Can't you just collect it from the user?"

"Of course not!"

Iolem sighed, looked at Congenio, and then said to Shado, "You say, how do you define a user?" Is it an individual spellcaster? Or do you want to make magic items? Or maybe it's selling magic items in large quantities like the Tower of Time? ”

When Xia Duo heard this, he subconsciously wanted to say that of course he was making a large number of products to sell, but he immediately thought that the person who used the patent the most fiercely was not the owner of the patent?

In other words, the Tower of Time registers patents, uses patents, and pays for itself, isn't this a lonely registration!

If an individual caster is also defined as a user, it involves how to confirm the use, and the detection spell can do this, but also avoid the detection of the spell.

A spear and a shield exist at the same time, just like Xia Duo, who has a spell to avoid detection almost all the time, so who can still receive his royalty?

It's really unclear.

If you can't say it clearly, you won't be able to collect royalties, so is the creator still willing to register a patent?

Sure enough, the water in here is very deep, and Xia Duo feels a little unsure, but the problem is real, and if you put it there, who knows if it will explode one day.

Thinking like this, Xia Duo said: "Then it is better to establish a patent registration publicity period, so that at least it can give the relevant mage towers some buffer time to think about countermeasures." ”

In fact, there is a similar practice on the earth, generally there will be a publicity period before some important documents, appointments or registrations take effect, during which there are objections to file complaints, reconsideration or rejection and other opinions.

Here, if the Seven Towers have a large number of registered patents with the intention of attacking the small mage tower organization, then the Great Arcanist of Nessrell will not only have the Seven Towers.

It is estimated that soon, there will be no survivable mage towers to join other Grand Arcanists, or to form alliances between small organizations, and eventually give birth to an alliance large enough to fight against the Seven Towers.

(You don't have to be a great arcanist, as long as there are enough high-level mages to balance the great arcanist, there is no way to destroy anyone everywhere, and the Seven Towers are not a word of a certain person, but a combination of multiple forces, with many concerns, it will definitely not be easy to fight, more just soft pressure)

Of course, if the Seven Towers really launch such an attack, it will largely mean that the Seven Towers are sure enough to achieve the goals they need, whether that purpose is to merge or just exert pressure.

Cards in the hands of others, others can play how they want, the key is to play iron also need its own hard.

And the reason why Xia Duo put forward this suggestion is not to restrict a big organization like the Seven Towers, and it can't be restricted at all.

What he wants is a more level, more stable playing field.

Although such an environment is beneficial to small organizations, it is more favorable for large organizations like the Seven Towers, and a fair and stable environment or rules does not mean that the strong are tied.

On the contrary, it is the beginning of volume crushing.

Similar to the competition between large enterprises and small enterprises on the planet, the more fair it is, the more difficult it is for small enterprises to outperform large enterprises, because fairness is not reflected in the results, but in the process and in the rules.

Sometimes, in order to limit the use of fair rules by large enterprises, those in power have to create special protection rules that favor small enterprises.

At this stage, it is a bit too advanced to talk about those special rules that favor the weak, but at least create a relatively fair environment in terms of rules.

Such an environment is also favorable for Xia Duo.

In addition, if it spreads, it can also boost some prestige.

Since the awakening of the bloodline, the need for faith, prestige, or faith has also increased, and Xia Duo now wants to experience the feeling of free travel to and from the outer planes. (It is already possible to go to the outer plane, but cannot return on its own)

Now that you have decided not to keep a low profile anymore, it is better to gain more prestige to increase your bloodline awakening!

Xia Duo suddenly had a feeling that maybe this was the right way for the traverser to open, but fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, and after saying his suggestion, he silently waited for Iolem's reaction.
