Chapter 486: In the end, it depends on who is uncomfortable
Having found the crux of the problem, Mr. Zhao knew what to do next, and before leaving, he further confirmed certain details to Dr. Tong, who assured him that even if it was helpful for the technical development of the Changda Group Test Center, he would not let the relevant personnel of the New Materials Research Institute know.
Lawyer Zhao and his entourage returned to the research department of the institute again, and after meeting with the staff member who received him in the morning, he first asked, "Can I meet your director?"
"You mean you want to see our director of scientific research? What can you tell me directly?" the staff did not want to agree to Mr. Zhao's request.
"Forgive me, as an ordinary staff member, there are some things I am afraid you can't decide. Lao Zhao said bluntly.
"I'm in charge of the foreign exchange business of the scientific research department, what can't I decide?" the staff member disagreed with Lao Zhao's words.
"If the Changda Group wants to resolve this matter through legal means, can you respond to the lawsuit? Besides, you are not a legal person, and you are not qualified to respond to the lawsuit!" Lao Zhao commanded the other party.
"I can't respond to this ----,, but did Changda Group tell you to solve the problem through legal means?"
"It depends on the situation, if you insist on going your own way, there is no other way but legal means! Of course, if you can sit down and discuss, the matter does not necessarily have to go to court. Therefore, you can't decide what happened next, we have to meet with the relevant leaders of the New Materials Research Institute. Lawyer Zhao said.
"Okay, I'll give you an announcement, you guys wait. After the staff went out, it took more than ten minutes to come back, and he was followed by a middle-aged man who was nearly sixty years old and had some gray and sparse hair, "Director Yao, these three are representatives sent by Changda Group, Lawyer Zhao, this is Director Yao of our scientific research department." After entering the house, the staff introduced.
Lao Zhao and the other three got up and shook hands with Director Yao, "Please take a seat." While beckoning the other party to sit down, Lao Yao pulled a chair and sat down opposite Lao Zhao and the others, "Lawyer Zhao, can you explain your intentions?"
"We are the entrusted agent of Changda Group, and this time we came to the New Materials Research Institute mainly to negotiate with you on the report of Changda Group's patent. ”
"Entrusted agent? Could it be that the main leaders of Changda Group don't plan to come forward?"
"They are busy with their affairs and have entrusted us with full authority to handle the matter. ”
"Oh----, what are you going to do?"
"First of all, we want to know what the purpose and basis of the report of the New Materials Research Institute is, and only after we have figured out the cause of the incident can we decide what to do. Lawyer Zhao said.
Director Yao repeated the same meaning as the previous staff member, "We think that the technology that Changda Group applied for a patent has the contribution of the New Materials Research Institute, and it is inappropriate for them to exclude us from the patent signature." ”
"However, according to our understanding, the New Materials Research Institute has not made any contribution to the development of waste battery recycling technology of Changda Group. ”
Lao Yao repeated the old tune again, "Without the battery project of the New Materials Research Institute and Changda Group, it is impossible for them to put forward the idea of recycling waste batteries, and in addition, our Dr. Tong gave communication guidance to their technical development work." With these two reasons, shouldn't we have a share of the patent ownership?"
"Director Yao, if these two reasons are true, it is natural for the New Materials Research Institute to ask for the sharing of patent rights, the problem is that after our investigation and analysis, the two reasons you said are not valid, so Changda Group has not done anything wrong in the patent signature issue. Lawyer Zhao said.
"This is just your one-sided view, and our view is the opposite of yours. ”

"Whatever the opinion, in the end, let the facts speak. First of all, the Institute of New Materials believes that without the previous cooperation projects between you and Changda Group, there would be no later creativity of Changda Group, and we believe that this view is untenable, because the later creativity of Changda Group has nothing to do with the previous cooperation projects. As a scientific research manager, Director Yao of course knows that only the follow-up technology is an extension or derivation of the previous technology, which is in line with the logical relationship you mentioned, and Changda Group's idea of waste battery recycling technology is obviously not related to the previous cooperation project. ”
Don't look at Lao Yao as a technocrat and a senior professional title, but in terms of logical thinking, he is still much worse than Lao Zhao, an experienced practicing lawyer.
"This ----," to this question, Lao Yao couldn't find a reason to refute, so he had to say far-fetchedly: "It is our new materials research institute that led Changda Group into the battery industry, and their technical creativity cannot be said to have nothing to do with us." ”
"Director Yao, with all due respect, this logic is a bit too overbearing! According to you, companies engaged in waste paper recycling should also pay profits to paper mills, but is this the reality?"
"It's undeniable that our Dr. Tong has had technical exchanges and guidance with them, right?" said Lao Yao.
"This is just a kind of hearsay, chasing after the wind and shadows, did Dr. Tong personally tell you about this?
"He didn't say it personally, but his colleagues talked to us about it. ”
"I also asked Dr. Tong's team members about the situation, but they didn't mean that, they only saw that Dr. Tong had some exchanges with the technicians of the Changda Group Experimental Center, and they didn't know what they said. Taking a step back, even if Dr. Tong has had substantive exchanges with the technical personnel of the Changda Group Test Center, it cannot be a reason for the New Materials Research Institute to share the patent rights.
In fact, Director Yao is not ignorant of these truths, the key is that Vice President Qin seized this matter to make a fuss, and he, who was a subordinate, had to bite the bullet and do everything possible to find a reason. "Lawyer Zhao, now that both sides have revealed their respective views and opinions, what do you want to do?"
"It's very simple, ask the New Materials Research Institute to withdraw the report. ”
"To be honest, the New Materials Research Institute still has a cooperative relationship with Changda Group, and it is really not worth it to stiffen the relationship for this matter, we actually don't care, I am afraid that Vice President Qin will not agree. Lao Yao looked very embarrassed.
"Director Yao, that's why we insist on meeting with you. We know that if we go directly to Vice President Qin, he will definitely refuse to communicate with us, but there must be a solution to this matter, so please bring our principles and views to Vice President Qin, and hope that he will recognize the facts and not let the two units that cooperated happily tear their faces because of some small things in the past. Changda Group has carte blanche to entrust our firm to deal with this matter, and the purpose is very clear, if there is no room for negotiation, then solve the problem through legal means. Old Zhao said.
"I will definitely convey your meaning to Vice President Qin, but I can't influence his attitude, and I don't know what the final result will be. ”
"That's good. In addition, I would like to remind you that Changda Group hopes to see the news of your withdrawal of the report within a week, if it is more than a week, the Institute of New Materials will receive a court summons, and the place of response is our local court. ”
Lawyer Zhao and his entourage returned to Changda Group, and they reported to Guan Yuntian what they had learned and the results of the negotiations with the other party, "The initiator of the matter is their Vice President Qin, Dr. Tong and his team
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It doesn't have anything to do with it, it is said that the reason is that the vice president is very pompous, he has been here a few times recently, especially at the commissioning ceremony of your cooperation project, Changda Group seems to have neglected others, so he will find awkwardness with you. ”
Guan Yuntian smiled contemptuously, "Hehe, unconsciously, I offended the great god." Some people in the system really take themselves seriously, and they have to let others respect them wherever they go, and if they are a little unsatisfactory, they will turn their faces and deny people, I really don't know how these problems come out!"
"Lao Qin is fortunately not the number one, otherwise it would be even more difficult to serve. ”
"Ignore him. How are you dealing with each other?"
"The director below also feels that it is not worth it for trivial things, but he can only turn our words around, and there is nothing else to do, it depends on the attitude of Vice President Qin. However, we have said what needs to be said. ”
"Okay, wait and see how they move, it's a big deal, the battery project has just begun to cooperate, the initiative is in the hands of Changda Group, and it will eventually see who is uncomfortable. Guan Yuntian said casually.
"Before leaving the New Materials Research Institute, we left a few words for the other party to bring to Lao Qin, I said that Changda Group hopes to hear the news of the withdrawal of the report by the New Materials Research Institute within a week, and more than a week, they will receive a court summons. ”
"Very good, wait another week, and if the report is not withdrawn, start the legal process immediately. ”
After Lawyer Zhao and his entourage left, Director Yao of the Scientific Research Department of the Institute of New Materials immediately came to Vice President Qin's office, "They are gone. ”
"Let's go, I don't have time to talk to them. Old Qin didn't raise his head.
"But Dean Qin, there are a few things I have to say to you. ”
"Say what? ”
"Do you think it's appropriate for us to do this?" said Old Yao worriedly.
"Do you mean to report? What's inappropriate? They want to have exclusive access to patented technology, so it's not appropriate. ”
"However, after I understand, our new materials research institute does not have anything to do with people's waste battery recycling technology, and people have exclusive patented technology, what is inappropriate?"
Lao Qin repeated those two reasons again, "Based on these, Changda Group has no right to exclusively enjoy the patent rights of that technology." ”
"Dean Qin, let's talk behind closed doors, you analyze it carefully, these reasons are very far-fetched, and they are not tenable in law at all, and it is probably not so easy to share that patented technology. ”
"It's not easy? Hmph, drag him, let the controversy continue, and see how he gets the patent granted. ”
"This method may not work! Changda Group has entrusted the matter to the law firm, and the three people who came this time are all lawyers, and when they left, the other party gave a timetable, and they hope to hear the news that we withdraw the report within a week, and after a week, they will solve the problem through legal channels. Director Yao said.
"Isn't it a lawsuit? He has a lawyer, we can also hire a lawyer, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
"Of course, a lawsuit is not terrible, the problem is that going to court will definitely alarm the dean, how can we explain to the dean at that time?
Lao Qin looked arrogant, "It's a big deal to tear your face, otherwise what else can you do?" I don't believe in a large-scale state-level research unit, and I still care about a private enterprise!"
Lao Yao is still sober, "Dean Qin, the battery project we cooperated with Changda Group has just seen economic benefits, if it is because of some trivial things to Bo Gongtang, once the two sides tear their faces, what do you think the New Materials Research Institute can get?"
