The principal's office is not on the top of the hill, but in the teacher's office area. Gu Yanshan also has an office here, but the old man often doesn't see anyone.

Gu Qingyan knocked on the door of the principal's office with Zhang Ping, and the door opened automatically, revealing an office that was obviously more than two hundred square meters behind. The principal was practicing calligraphy, and a long piece of rice paper was spread out at the door.

Zhang Ping and Gu Qingyan came in, and the principal didn't raise his head: "Xiao Gu, what's the trouble?" ”

Gu Qingyan's heroic eyebrows were raised, and a bright smile bloomed, and he smiled: "Uncle Principal, do you have any misunderstanding?" ”

Principal Wu Songyun sighed: "Really not? If not, I'm going to retreat for a few days at night. ”

Gu Qingyan's voice was quiet: "It's a little thing." ”

"'Little' things?"

“…… Still a good thing. Gu Qingyan's voice became lower and lower.

Wu Songyun put down the brush and walked back behind the desk, "Sit down." I know that you have nothing to do but ascend to the Three Treasures Palace. Say, what's the matter? ”

Ten minutes later......

Wu Songyun slapped the table: "Such an important matter, why didn't you say it earlier." Zhang Ping, you should come to me directly. ”

Zhang ping:......

Gu Qingyan: ......

Cheeky, Headmaster, you're losing your cheek.

The principal gently stroked the bracelet, looked at the crack on the bracelet that was imperceptible to the naked eye, and looked pity: "Violent things." I said Xiao Gu, they are all teachers, and they are still so skinny. ”

Zhang Ping looked at Gu Qingyan abruptly, as if he had found something remarkable.

"Look at what!" Gu Qingyan glared at Zhang Ping viciously.

Zhang Ping smiled, grinning his teeth. However, without waiting for Gu Qingyan to break out, he spoke to the principal: "Teacher, this magic weapon can be traded freely, right?" I want to apply for a patent and build a factory. The technology for mass production should be inferior, but it can be applied to daily life. ”

The principal shook his head: "This kind of patent ...... I'm afraid it's not easy to apply. ”

"Ah, why?" Zhang Ping was surprised and a little angry.

"Patent barriers!" The principal sighed, "The invisible sky road of the city's light rail transit system, you know?" ”

Of course I know, I'll see you every day.

The principal continued: "This transportation system belongs to a large group. In order to protect this patent, they applied for many large and small patents, forming a patent wall. It just so happens that I know part of the patent for this technology.

And a considerable part of the technology of your magic weapon will overlap with the other party's patent wall.

Also, many of the technologies you apply are patented. You just put them together to form a better technique. At least that's how I see it now.

Therefore, it is unlikely that you want to monopolize this patent. ”

Patent barriers!

Zhang Ping took a deep breath. As a person living in the civilized world, how can you not know the existence of such a rogue as patent barriers.

Not to mention now, in the previous life, Huaguo was pitted by patent barriers, there are island countries in the east, a disc burning and reading machine, even the diameter of the screw has applied for a patent. As a result, a factory produces hard disks, and found that hard disk screws turned out to be a special patented technology, so I can only hehe - the patent of the disc burner actually affected the hard disk.

The so-called patent barrier is to apply for as many useful and useless patents as possible around the core patent, forming a barrier to protect the core patent.

From the perspective of enterprises, this means is a means of self-protection, which is understandable. However, from the perspective of society as a whole, this is typical of going your own way and leaving others with no way out.

This kind of patent barrier really makes it impossible for latecomers to go out. You want to apply for a patent, but you find that a certain patent is already someone else's, and you can't get around it.

Let's just talk about Zhang Ping's current refining method. Although the essence is Zhang Ping's own creation, many of the knowledge used in it, such as formations, materials, saturation, true fire quenching, etc., have long been registered and patented by others.

Yes, others can only increase the saturation of the material to 50%, you can increase it to 100%, or even more, but it doesn't work - they have already registered patents in advance.

The principal sighed, turned on the computer next to him, and a three-meter-sized light curtain appeared; The principal skillfully retrieved various patented technologies and quickly completed part of the search.

Ninety percent of the technology applied by Zhang Ping has been registered. There are only a few, but these few 'loopholes' are not enough to support Zhang Ping's current technology.

In the end, the principal said a little helplessly: "Zhang Ping, if you want to make a profit from your current refining tools, these patent-holding institutions and enterprises can sue you for infringement, and even steal your research through legal means." ”

Zhang Ping opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Gu Qingyan was also silent. She sighed slightly and patted Zhang Ping's shoulder, "This was also the case when I first started researching pills.

So now I can only study the refining method of a certain elixir; Mature means, direct contact with the relevant enterprise auction. It can only be so profitable. ”

Zhang Ping grasped it with his hand: "But this is a dead loop." If a company buys a technology and continues to apply for patents, it will continue to widen the patent barriers, which will make your research more and more difficult! ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, his smile was a little bitter: "Therefore, research must continue to improve." ”

Zhang Ping shook his head, "I won't allow this." Originally, I wanted to give this technique to the school, but since that's the case, I'll go back and study it again. ”

Wu Songyun also sighed slightly and nodded: "I remember that you have a lawyer by your side, right?" ”

While speaking, he quickly called up Feng Dehai's information, looked at it for a while and said: "Feng Dehai has patent and other businesses, you can discuss it with Feng Dehai." ”

Zhang Ping nodded.

Leaving the principal's office, Zhang Ping was slightly depressed. I have high hopes for this brand-new refining weapon, and I don't want it to be such a result.

Gu Qingyan led the way and came directly to his office, which was the teacher's office, and there were many people who came up to say hello along the way, especially the young and handsome male teacher.

Gu Qingyan responded simply, and when he arrived at the office, Gu Qingyan poured Zhang Ping a glass of water before saying, "Discouraged? ”

Zhang Ping poured two sips before sighing: "A little." ”

"Actually, it's the same for everyone. It is not so easy to apply for a truly practical, completely owned, and high-end patent. But it's not impossible.

Let's just talk about me, many people are studying the technique of the three-turn alchemy, but I was the first to make a breakthrough. Just ......"

Speaking of this, Gu Qingyan began to grit his teeth, "It's just that when I applied for a patent, I found that some bastards are not good at technical research, but they are more diligent than one by one when applying for patents." When I applied for a patent, I found a thick patent wall that had isolated me.

At that time, there were more than 200 kinds of techniques related to the Three Turns Alchemy Technique, of which only a dozen were completely mine; Among the remaining technologies, in addition to some patents that have expired, some public technologies, etc., there are 32 patents, which are still in the patent protection period.

But after research, I bypassed 27 of these techniques. There are still 5 patents that cannot be bypassed. Do you know what I did later? ”

Zhang Ping shook his head and asked for advice seriously.

"Those five patents. One waited for two years to become a public technology when the patent expired. There is also a difficult operation, a strong acquisition. It's a bit like the forced purchase of Lanyang Machinery Maintenance Group. It is useless for the other party to take the patent, and it is also blackmailed, and there is no need to be soft on such people.

The remaining three, knowing with emotion and reason, finally negotiated for a year and reached cooperation.

Now, I personally enjoy 80% of the patents of the three-turn alchemy technology. ”

In the end, Gu Qingyan sighed, "Now that the foundation of social technology is prosperous, we can have some research achievements, in fact, it is not entirely because we are good enough, but because we stand on the shoulders of giants." Therefore, there are times when you have to open your mind. As long as you can master 60% of the patents, it is a victory.

If the patent is too low, it will be a big deal. ”

While speaking, Gu Qingyan dipped in tea and wrote two words on the table: Black market!

Zhang Ping's pupils contracted, but then he nodded slowly. The black market is also a helpless choice. If there is really no way out, then you can only ...... Let everyone have no way out together.

It's a big deal, the fish is dead, who is afraid of whom!

Gu Qingyan then erased the handwriting and said with a smile: "But what, as long as you can successfully apply for a patent, it is also very cool." Now I have applied for a circle of patents, and I get a lot of money every year just by granting patents.

Now, I'm the kind of criminal class that makes people have no way out!! ”

The beautiful teacher Gu laughed out with a pig cry.
