Chapter 366 The disappearing dawn wine

Davida whistled and chose her dress in a happy mood.

His fingers were wandering in the neatly hung jacket and finally stopped on a light gray suit. That was it, the suit paired with a twill tie was exactly the same as the suit that President Anderson wore when he signed the New Shanxi Ceasefire Agreement. Tonight, as a dress that accepted the surrender, there was nothing more perfect than this one!

Davida is over forty years old, with a strong and handsome face, firm and aggressive eyes. As one of the representative members of the radical party of the Weidi Party, his image in the public is always radical and ambitious, and he often proposes proposals with clear direction. The "Mu Xing Act" that has been in a turbulent manner recently is another masterpiece from him.

On the table next to him was a classical invitation, which was from the "Jinghua" law firm, and invited him to attend to tonight's reception. Davis believed that this was the sign of Mu Xing's surrender represented by "Jinghua", and he would dress up to accept the full surrender of "Jinghua" firm.

Davida showed a confident smile in the mirror and succeeded again. To be honest, he was used to it.

Unlike the overwhelming propaganda in the media, the passage of a bill, especially a proposal to amend the patent law, is certainly not that simple. The media is just further misleading the people, deliberately saying that the "Mu Xing Act" has entered the substantive stage to guide the public's intentions. The statement is actually wrong. Mu Xing's patent is a big piece of cake, and neither Cerberus nor the Weidi Party can swallow it alone.

They first formed a majority in parliament through a series of exchanges of interests, first ensuring that the proposal could be passed smoothly;

Secondly, manipulating the Star Alliance to make a little concession in the diplomatic negotiations of the Castle. This will not only gain the favor of the Castle members, but also make the Castle Council ignore the proposal of "obviously infringement of the patent agreement". Of course, after sacrificing the benefits obtained by the Star Alliance on the battlefield, the military also needs to appease it.

Finally, after the cake is divided, some residue will be left for the public, which is probably some cheap products to be launched. Or they will be fully discounted two to three times to show that they have benefited from the benefits.

This is a tacit spoils-sharing conference... If Mu Xing was still in Xinglian and continued to strongly grasp the entire technological frontier, no one dared to say anything. At that time, Jupiter was a god. She could do whatever she wanted in the great Xinglian Council! But Mu Xing has been missing for a long time, and she has taken the initiative to cut off her interest relationship with large companies. After losing those support, it is also necessary that the cake she left behind is peeped at by everyone.

As for the legendary "Alien Threat", haha, it's so popular every year. Who cares? Besides, even if you are really invaded by aliens, you can still rely on the army and incite the masses to go to the front line. Who said you must rely on Mu Xing? No matter how advanced the technology is, you have to make it into a weapon to be powerful. Moreover, the more powerful the weapon is, the more complex it will take, and the longer it takes. When it is really critical, it is probably useless to temporarily hold Mu Xing's Buddha's foot.

Now, Davis has been fully prepared from political proposals to public opinion trends. I believe Mu Xing and "Jinghua" have felt the huge pressure from all levels! If they announce a full surrender, Davis will accept their surrender with a graceful representative. If they continue to be ungrateful, then Davis doesn't mind letting the raised hammer fall and letting the bill really begin to be implemented.

By then, Mu Xing, who was deprived of his patent rights, will have nothing!

He opened the curtains and New York was as red as blood under the setting sun. It was a good weather for the arrival of the fall.

****

The reception was still in the traditional open-style cocktail party format, with men polite and women competing for beauty. Gorgeous and crowded with guests.

During all kinds of attentive social events, Congressman Davis did not forget his goal tonight. He found that most of the guests invited by the "Jinghua" firm today were commercial giants, and most of them were production-oriented enterprises. It seemed that there were fewer politicians present... This made him frown. Davis was very proud and arrived very late. No one was even later than him. But then the "Jinghua" general manager greeted him warmly, which relaxed him.

After 9 o'clock, the beautiful general manager of "Jinghua" firm ended the conversation with the guest who was talking and walked up to the small platform arranged in front of the hall.

The guests seemed to know that the show was coming, and they tacitly surrounded the table, looking at the Asari woman with hot eyes. Although the cake had been placed on the table, Davis was more than the one who could share the cake for everyone! If "Jinghua" firm voluntarily gave up the rights of those patents on behalf of Mu Xing, then as the "formerly owner", she was also one of the people who had the right to divide the cake. This is the reason why these business giants came happily. They wanted to participate in the feast they shared, but were not willing to look up to Cerberus's breath.

"…Jinghua Firm represents the ‘Patent Sharing Rights Association’, welcomes everyone…”

The opening remarks of the general manager of "Jinghua" immediately made the guests feel a little confused.

Isn't it representing Ms. Mu Xing? What the hell is this "Patent Sharing Rights Association"?! Well... Because "Jinghua" law firm always represents Mu Xing and bite people, over time, in the eyes of Xinglian and others, "Jinghua" firm has been equated with Mu Xing, so they didn't realize it for a while. They have to think about it for a moment, and then they realize that "Jinghua" is a law firm that opens business!

Of course they can also undertake other businesses! And tonight it was the "Jinghua" firm who invited me... In other words, it doesn't have to represent Ms. Mu Xing.

After understanding this, most of them immediately called "scammers" in their hearts! Most of them were divided into interests left by Mu Xing.

But at this moment, a crisp sound of glass shattering sounded among the crowd, echoing in the open hall for a long time, and everyone could hear it clearly. Everyone turned their heads in surprise, looking for who was so disobedient. Then they saw Councillor Davis standing there with a pale face, still holding wine, but his glass had fallen into pieces on the floor.

Although the companies managed by these giants use a large number of patents, they are handled by people or firms below, and the leaders do not use them to care about these things personally, so they do not understand the "Patent Sharing Rights Association". However, because of the "Mu Xing Act", Member Davis has recently studied patent-related laws and enterprises. Therefore, he not only knows the name "Patent Sharing Rights Association", but also knows that it is a giant comparable to the Star Alliance Parliament!

Patent Law was originally a law formulated to protect the interests of R&Ds.

But after the 21st century, patents gradually became tools to divide interests and markets. There are endless and various patent applications, covering almost all levels of society, so that when manufacturing companies are best not to produce any goods, they infringe on patents as soon as they are produced! Patent owners often use the protection of patent laws to unscrupulously release the greed in their hearts and always try to swallow up most of the benefits of goods.

If an enterprise wants to develop and start production of new products smoothly, the cost of patents will be consumed by more than one-third of the total cost! Focusing on patent rights, there are thousands of patent lawsuits that need to be fought every day. Indirectly supporting countless patent lawyers By this time, patents have changed from the driving force for social progress to obstacles.

Then, the "Shenbao Patent Agreement" was born. In addition to stricter patent application methods, this agreement significantly reduced the patent term of some unimportant patents, such as "appearance design" patents, "process" patents, etc.; it also had clear restrictions on patent profits to ensure the vitality of production enterprises.

In the private sector, various patent-sharing organizations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. These organizations obtain the needed patents through patent exchange and further reduce production costs. At the same time, these organizations also protect the interests of patent applicants in order to confront new patent agreements. Patent applicants are brought together. As an intermediary, these organizations not only participate in patent exchange, but also provide patent pledge, pre-borrow, assistance in application, venture capital and other functions...

In the development, these organizations gradually changed from intermediaries to exchange subjects, so they are called patent banks.

From the moment patent banks were born, they were destined to be giants, and their deterrence even exceeded that of traditional banks. The "Patent Sharing Rights Association" is the latest one that has risen among the giants of patent banks in recent years!

By this time, if Congressman Davis still doesn't realize what happened, he must be a complete idiot...

Sure enough, as if he had not seen the MPs' misconduct, the host continued to smile and said, "I am honored to notify everyone. The 'Patent Shared Rights Association' holds 54% of the shares of Jinghua Firm, which is the major shareholder of our firm. The 'Jinghua Firm' has also been acting for all the legal affairs of the 'Patent Shared Rights Association'..." At this time, the giants present had roughly known the energy of this behemoth through their assistants and immediately paid attention to it.

Their companies have more or less shared or even borrowed patents from the "Patent Sharing Rights Association". With this association, they are the so-called community of interests!

Therefore, when the host's eyes swept across the audience, almost all the guests smiled and nodded to her to show kindness. Finally, her eyes remained on the pale-faced Councillor Davis.

Davis was not willing to give up, so he forced a smile and suddenly pushed the person in front of the small platform away. "So, what is the relationship between the 'Patent Sharing Rights Association' and Ms. Mu Xing..." He asked unwillingly.

"Ms. Mu Xing is the chairman of the 'Patent Shared Rights Association'!"

The host seemed to have known that he would ask this question, and without hesitation, gave a shocking answer. "Ms. Mu Xing deposited a total of 45,000 patents in the association! Of course, it also includes... the ones that the 'Mu Xing Act' wants to be disclosed. I heard that the bill was submitted by the parliamentarian? I don't know what you think of the 1.55 million patents currently owned by the association, and maybe I want to ask us to disclose them all? Haha~"

Today, when the patent agreement is extremely strict, applying for a patent is no longer something that can be accomplished by holding a few sheets of paper and paying dozens of dollars a year. Today's patent applications are real technological innovation! More than one and a half million patents are an unimaginable force! And the stakeholders it represents are even more unimaginable...

Davis felt a stream of blood surge up and almost vomiting on the spot.

But the host's eyes turned on him just to turn to the guests in the hall and continued. "In view of the recent deterioration in patent protection of Xinglian, the 'Patent Sharing Rights Association' decided to lower the patent sharing level of Xinglian from the 'trust level' to the 'exchange level'; patent credit will also change from the 'full credit' to the 'key credit' to the enterprise. Please acknowledge the inconvenience caused to you..."
