It was originally a sentence that enlivened the atmosphere, but it made Tong Wei feel a little sour, and he smiled bitterly: "It's not like an arrow, the project here makes me worry." ”

"Dr. Tong, although you are about to return to work, we sincerely hope that you will come back often. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Mr. Guan rest assured, I have agreed with Jiayi, the test center is developing waste battery recycling technology, will not stop for a moment, the next experimental plan, I have explained clearly to the person in charge of the test center, they will work as planned, I will keep communicating with them at any time, if necessary, holidays and Sundays, I can make a special trip. ”

"Yes, Tong Wei has made detailed arrangements for the future development work, and the technicians of the test center only need to carry out the work according to the plan. Ye Jiayi said.

Guan Yuntian is very satisfied with the next work arrangement, "The development of waste battery recycling technology has received the attention and support of many provincial functional departments, and I hope that this technology can be successfully developed." ”

"There is no problem with the success of the development, but there is indeed considerable technical difficulty, and the original plan is to have laboratory results in about a year, but the actual situation is not far from expectations. As reported to Jiayi half a year ago, the treatment technology of waste batteries is not difficult, but it is not so easy to achieve safety, environmental protection and harmless treatment. Dr. Tong said.

"Safety and environmental protection are the key to this technology, even if more resources, more effort and longer time are invested, to ensure that the goal is achieved. Guan Yuntian emphasized.

"Yes, we are working in that direction. So far, although the ideal laboratory results have not been achieved, but from the realization of the goal, a big step closer, not only found the appropriate treatment methods, but also these methods are more environmentally friendly, the next work, is to carry out economic and technical evaluation of these methods, from which the most environmentally friendly, the most economical method, to complete these work, it is estimated that it will take half a year to a year. ”

"Time and money are not a problem, there is no need to be in a hurry about this work, Dr. Tong, on the premise of not delaying your own work in the Institute of New Materials, help us bother. "Guan Yuntian said.

"I will do my best to come up with better laboratory results as soon as possible. ”

......

In the autumn of this year, the development of waste battery recycling technology in the test center of Changda Group was a complete success, realizing the importance of intellectual property rights, and after obtaining the consent of Guan Yuntian, Ye Jiayi immediately applied for a national invention patent for this achievement.

However, during the patent publicity period, the relevant departments received a report that there was a dispute over the signature of the inventor of the patent, and the patent management department immediately fed back the problem to Changda Group. It is understood that the whistleblower is the New Materials Research Institute.

"This technology was completely developed by Changda Group, and has nothing to do with the New Materials Research Institute, so how can they have objections? Didn't Dr. Tong clearly give up the right of authorship at the beginning?" Guan Yuntian didn't understand.

"It was he who offered to cooperate privately and not to have the right of authorship. It is said that the whistleblower did not report in his own name, but in the name of the New Materials Research Institute, and I checked with Tong Wei, but he did not know about the report at all. Besides, from what I know about Tong Wei, he is a technical person, a very practical person, and he will not engage in those small actions in front of him and behind the scenes, I don't think he will do that kind of thing. Ye Jiayi said.

"Isn't it that the New Materials Research Institute thinks that this technology has great application potential and wants to share it with Changda Group?"

"It's not a question of whether they want to or not, but they don't have their share at all, because the project itself is proposed by us based on the industry situation we have learned and combined with the actual needs of the future, even Tong Wei didn't expect it, that is to say, to create

The meaning comes from Changda Group, and the resource investment comes entirely from Changda Group, so it can be said that it has nothing to do with the New Materials Research Institute, if they want to get a piece of the pie, how can it be so cheap?" Ye Jiayi said.

"What should we do next? We can't keep the stalemate, if there are other units to develop such a technology and get a patent in advance, our work will be in vain. ”

"The report only involves the issue of authorship, not the content of the patent, so even if someone applies for the same patent again, the priority of our patent cannot be deprived. As for disputes, the patent administration department is not responsible for mediating such issues, and I am afraid that we will have to resolve them ourselves. ”

"Why don't you bring legal counsel and explain the situation to them, and let them deal with it?" Guan Yuntian said.

"That's fine, after all, they're more professional. Ye Jiayi agreed.

Guan Yuntian dialed the phone number of lawyer Zhao, the perennial legal counsel of Changda Group, "If you have time, please come to me." ”

A considerable part of the funds of Mr. Zhao's firm come from Changda Group, so he is responsive to Changda Group's needs, as long as Guan Yuntian makes a phone call, even if he is busy, Lao Zhao has to put down the work at hand and rush over.

More than ten minutes later, Lawyer Zhao pushed the door in, and Guan Yuntian beckoned him to sit down, "I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you again." ”

"What's trouble? That's what we should do, please tell me something. Lawyer Zhao sat down in the chair opposite Ye Jiayi.

Ye Jiayi made a detailed statement of the situation, "How do you think this matter should be handled?"

"This is not called an intellectual property dispute, it only involves patent signature, and it stands to reason that the problem can be resolved through civil mediation through communication between the two parties. The ideas and investment are from Changda Group, and they are successfully developed in the test center of Changda Group, but the technical personnel of the other party are privately involved in the technology development work, and if there is no written evidence, the other party has no chance of winning the lawsuit. Lawyer Zhao analyzed.

"You have full authority to deal with this matter on behalf of Changda Group, and if there is anything that needs our cooperation or provide evidence, you can bring it up. "Guan Yuntian said.

"I'll get in touch with the other party first, and after understanding the situation, let's discuss it again. ”

With two assistants, Mr. Zhao and his entourage came to the Institute of New Materials, and after explaining the situation, the staff of the other party's scientific research department received them.

"We are the clients of Changda Group, and we mainly want to know what is the purpose of your report?"

"We don't think the patented technology is unique to Changda Group, and their signature is wrong. The other staff said.

"As far as we know, the waste battery recycling technology, the idea is put forward by Changda Group, the development costs and various resources are also invested by Changda Group, and the experiment is completed in the test center of Changda Group, what work has the New Materials Research Institute done in the development of this technology?"

"Although the new materials research institute did not do the work directly, but without our cooperation with Changda Group to develop and produce batteries, where did they get the idea? Also, it is said that our expert Dr. Tong in the Changda Group cooperation battery project during the period, and the Changda Group test center technicians have had a lot of exchanges, without our support, Changda Group to develop waste battery recycling technology, can not be successful!"

"Do you know what Dr. Tong said in the exchange with the technicians of the test center of Changda Group, and how much of a role it can play in the development of technology? Did Dr. Tong personally tell you? His words will be used as evidence. Lawyer Zhao asked.

----,Dr. Tong didn't say it personally, but he did have a lot of communication with the technical staff of the other party, and the staff of his team could do it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Proof. ”

"We are the legal counsel of Changda Group, and we came here today to see or hear relevant evidence, you know, that kind of speculation or speculation cannot be used as evidence in law. Since Dr. Tong has not personally told you how much of a role his communication with the technical staff of the Changda Group Experimental Center can play in the development of the technology, based on the speculation of his colleagues behind the scenes, such evidence is completely subjective and will not be accepted in court. ”

"However, without the new materials research institute and Changda Group to cooperate in the battery project, they would not have proposed this idea anyway, and it would not have been possible to develop this technology, which is a fact. ”

"This reason is also very far-fetched, I don't know how your previous contract stipulated, if Changda Group uses your battery production technology to derive and develop other technologies or products, it may still have something to do with you, but the waste battery recycling technology obviously does not belong to the derivative relationship of battery production technology. ”

Next, Mr. Zhao and his assistant approached colleagues from Dr. Tong's team and asked them about the situation, "How do you know that Dr. Tong is discussing the recycling technology of used batteries when he communicates with the other party's technicians?"

"We have never said anything like that, and we don't know what's going on, just some time ago, the staff of the scientific research department talked to us and asked us if we had seen Dr. Tong work for the technology development project of Changda Group, and we answered truthfully, only to see that he had communicated with the other party, and we didn't know what he said, that's all. If you hear anything else from the guys in the Research Division, it's just that they're making something out of nothing!"

Lao Zhao nodded, knowing in his heart, "Thank you, if there is really a day in the Bo court, I hope you will testify truthfully." ”

"Don't worry, Changda Group is a cooperative unit with us, and after working there for two or three years, their leaders are very good to us, and we will not do the kind of lack of virtue that repays virtue with grievances. ”

Subsequently, lawyer Zhao and two assistants had an in-depth exchange with Tong Wei.

"I learned the ins and outs of this matter, because the vice president of our new materials research institute, Qin, when he saw the announcement of the patent of Changda Group, he wanted to take advantage of it to make trouble. Tong Wei said bluntly.

"Why? Your New Materials Research Institute and Changda Group are in a cooperative relationship, and they are tied together with economic interests, so it stands to reason that they should be humble and understand each other, how can they stumble on each other?" Mr. Zhao did not understand.

According to insiders, our vice president Qin has opinions on Changda Group, he thinks that the last few times he went to Changda Group on business, the other party's reception is not warm enough, not grand enough, especially the commissioning ceremony of the industrial production line of the battery project cooperated by the two sides, Changda Group is not thoughtful enough to his reception. ”

"So, he wants to use the patent signature to embarrass the Changda Group?"

"It's a little interesting, because Lao Qin is a very pompous person. ”

"But Dr. Tong, do you support this kind of behavior? It's a bit strange to find an awkward relationship with a partner because of such a trivial matter!"

"Who says no, but he has to do it, we are ordinary people, and we can't do anything about him. ”

"But you have to know that Changda Group entrusted us to deal with this matter, and we are ready to solve the problem through legal means, according to what we have learned, if we really want to stand in court, none of the reasons that your scientific research department said can stand, and when the time comes, it will embarrass such a large scientific research unit, how embarrassing will your leader be? Besides, the cooperation between the New Materials Research Institute and Changda Group has only begun, and the leaders of your unit, how will they meet with the leaders over there in the future?"

"Lawyer Zhao, I understand all these stakes, and the problem now is that our Vice President Qin is obsessed. ”
