"Why should we compensate the Chinese? What products on the streets of China are authorized through patents? As long as they can copy them themselves, will they introduce technology from abroad? Even if they introduce technology, they have obtained patent licenses from relevant parties?" Coaster was in a bad mood. Facing Tom, the director of the Patent Office, came to the door in person, which made him feel bad to the highest point.

What he didn't expect was that the government had ignored this matter before and even suggested that they could continue, but now he suddenly changed his attitude.

Shameful politician!

"Who can have evidence to prove that we have infringed? We are just sellers, not manufacturers, and even if infringement is a problem with manufacturers! So, Director Tom, the adjustments from the Patent Office are useless to us!" Faced with Tom, Coaster had no favoritism at all.

In the United States, it is not like those in those red empires that ordinary people are afraid of becoming officials.

These politicians were raised by taxpayers like Coaster.

"So, you have to go to the legal path? Mr. Coaster, I think you should understand that once a lawsuit is filed, if you lose the case, how serious the consequences are. It is the best consequence to be able to reach a settlement outside the court. At least, it can save a very considerable lawyer's fee..." Tom went to Coaster in private.

If United Trading Company can agree, it will be much easier for them to operate this way.

"According to the information we have received, the offshore company you registered in the British Virgin Islands controls several production factories in Hong Kong, you provide a lot of funds, and some technical designs are all in our mainland United States. All those designs have been applied for by Chinese people..." To force Coaster to agree, Tom told him some secret news.

Coaster, who had a bad attitude, immediately lost his face.

"Who said that it was related to our United Trading Company? Evidence! What about real evidence? This is a slander! Who said this? I want to sue him for slander!" Coaster's attitude was still tough.

Although it is often blatant, they often consider these issues.

The manufacturers are Chinese companies, while their competitors are the original Sihua Group. However, Sihua Group has sold all its electrical appliance sales business to a poor-ranked household appliance seller in the United States - Best Buy.

Best Buy has been adopting innovative models over the years, making this seller the largest electrical appliance seller in the United States in just a few years.

Best Buy has never questioned the product infringement of United Trading Company, and manufacturers can only find manufacturers.

"Whether it is slander? As long as the other party comes up with evidence, it will become very clear. Best Buy also filed a lawsuit against your company. At the same time, they invited Sihua International, which originally sold the home appliance market business produced by Chinese and Asian manufacturers to assist them..." Tom's words became the straw that made Coaster lose confidence.

Best Buy is a local electric appliance seller in the United States, and it has been rising rapidly in recent years, and its business has even begun to expand to the European market. Compared with United Trading Company, the various methods of this seller are difficult to catch up.

They had never had any objection, which made Coaster believe that the other party would not care about the interests of the Chinese.

United Trading Company has always been avoiding conflicts with the other party's non-China business.

Both sides have been in peace over the years.

"What will we pay in the end if we agree to an out-of-court settlement?" Coaster asked the other party with gritted teeth and gritted his teeth.

Tom nodded with satisfaction at his attitude change, "Stop infringement, which will greatly affect your future business. At the same time, as a unit that infringes on the other party's patent rights, you will be fined at least tens of millions of dollars."

"What about compensation?" Coaster didn't care about the impact of the business, because once it was punished, after compensation, these products were equivalent to purchasing patents from China. Of course, Hong Kong companies cannot manage the United States. Even if they no longer produce the same appearance, there will be no problem after a slight modification of the design.

In order to improve competitiveness, United Trading Company's technical department has been preparing to launch new products over the years.

If the Chinese lion speaks loudly and the US government agrees with the Chinese demands, it will cause a huge blow to the United Trading Company.

"According to the current situation, there is no benchmark for the losses caused by infringement as a standard, so the final consequence is to compensate millions of dollars..." Tom's words immediately excited Coaster.

On the surface, it seems to be very unfavorable to them, but the consequences are not serious. For them, tickling is not considered a matter of being a tickling.

The huge fine of tens of millions of dollars is regarded as paying protection fees to the government.

"If this is the case, we agree to settle out of court with them according to the Patent Office's handling method..." Coaster agreed to this handling method.

For Tom, the Chinese should be very satisfied with the results of this treatment.

They advocate that the United Trading Company stop infringement, claim that the other party compensate and respect their patent rights. This result is all in line with the Chinese's claims.

The Chinese may be happier if they don’t go to the court. After all, they don’t understand Western patent bills. Even Chinese people have always liked to settle things. Once a lawsuit is delayed, it will last for a long time.

"It's really nonsense. For more than ten years of infringement, then you will be compensated with 5 million US dollars? Are they supposed to beggars? You agree with such a result, but we don't agree!" Wang Xun was very satisfied with the fact that the matter had a result so quickly, rather than being as protracted as the Western infringement case.

Especially the results are more satisfying to them.

They do not care about the other party’s compensation, but about the other party’s attitude, which has given China a face.

There is no patent bill in China itself, and any patent will not be protected in China at present.

"Comrade Liu, this result is already very good." Wang Xun had a headache and immediately explained the significance of this result to China, but Liu Yijiu ignored his explanation at all.

Liu Yijiu still asked the other party to compensate one billion US dollars. In addition to the funds, Liu Yijiu did not care much about other consequences.

This is simply because the Western government led by the United States wants to encircle China into their rules of the game after the collapse of the Soviet Union, thus causing a serious impact on China's national system.

China began negotiations with Western countries on joining the World Trade Organization two years ago in 1986.

The biggest obstacle to China in the Western world is that China is in the red camp and there is no trademark or intellectual property protection in China. This excuse is also the one they use the most frequently.

Once China joins the World Trade Organization, other countries will not have much impact on the results of the scientific research team due to the protection of the patent bill. But China is different. Once they enjoy low tariff treatment after joining the World Trade Organization, while using their cheap domestic productivity to imitate patented products, this will not require too much research and development costs, so that they can quickly invest the imitated products into the market.

In this way, the technological development of the entire world will be severely impacted.

Therefore, Western countries require that China must join the World Trade Organization, the premise is to establish an intellectual property protection system.

The construction of intellectual property rights is the protection of the private property of some individuals and companies. Even if there are units like the Ninth Court that have been exploring this aspect from the very beginning, it has caused criticism from many domestic departments and units. The technology provided by the Ninth Court to relevant sister units is not free, which effectively increases the corresponding costs...

If the country is established, it will now completely terminate the threshold for domestic companies to enter a certain field, and competition will be more intense, especially in terms of talent and technology.

Liu Yijiu's time point is very appropriate. The old man and others understand the conspiracy of the West, but China's reform and opening up and economic development require a world market. China also needs to introduce technology from the world to enhance the country's scientific and technological foundation.

This matter will never be stopped sooner or later, but when the old man did not retire and the Soviet Union did not disintegrate, even if China had such an idea, it would not raise it.

Asking for the other party to compensate one billion US dollars, Liu Yijiu was completely a big talk, which was a blackmail to United Trading Company.

But he seized the opportunity.

If it were another point in time, he might agree to such a result.

But now obviously I won't agree.

"What does the result mean? One billion dollars, a penny cannot be lost. I personally take charge of this matter. As long as the other party does not give one billion dollars in compensation, we will continue the lawsuit with them. We will let all Chinese companies see that the so-called intellectual property protection is only to protect Western countries, not our country. Even if our country joins this system, this is just a means to restrict development for our companies!"

Liu Yijiu has a purpose in doing anything.

It would be a good thing to prevent the establishment of an intellectual property system in China.

After all, China's development relies on imitation.

Imitation is much less than research.

Of course, if you want to ensure that your interests are not violated, you have to rely on confidentiality.

As the most top confidential military-industrial unit in China, confidentiality methods are naturally incomparable to other units. It is not so easy to imitate the core technology.
