Chapter 1496 The giants caught off guard

Simply put, the company will evaluate the case based on the progress of the case. If the winning rate is too low, it will find a way to terminate the case and seek a settlement.

On the one hand, this is to avoid some negative effects. After all, the report of the reconciliation between the two parties is better than the report of the infringement judgment.

Secondly, it is this kind of infringement case, if it is judged, it will definitely be a huge amount of compensation. So for these companies, if it can be avoided, it must be avoided.

Of course, the cost of reconciliation for such patented technology infringement is not low. For example, H Wei once negotiated a settlement with G Tong. Judging from the disclosed information, H Wei paid G Tong a so-called "settlement fee" of US$1.8 billion for the settlement.

Another example is the settlement negotiation between Guoguo and Gtong. After difficult negotiations, Guoguo finally paid Gtong a "settlement fee" of US$45.

There are many such settlement cases, ranging from millions to tens of millions and billions of dollars.

However, if compared with the amount of compensation awarded by the court after the failure of the case to respond to the lawsuit, it really pales in comparison. For example, the tobacco giant, the parent company of the famous tobacco brand Marlboro, was sued by smokers and finally failed to respond to the lawsuit, and was awarded punitive damages of up to US$28 billion by the court.

Therefore, after a round of confrontation, most companies will choose to settle when they feel that they have little chance of winning. Of course, if the two sides hold their own opinions and cannot reach a settlement, it will eventually be a long process of litigation and response.

We all know that Haoyu Technology has been in constant competition and friction with many overseas technology companies in recent years. There is fierce competition between the two parties, but there are still some cooperations, such as patent licensing exchange and so on.

The two parties negotiated around their own core patented technologies, and there were also small-scale prosecutions.

However, why suddenly, Wu Hao and the others launched lawsuits in 27 countries involving 1,439 patent infringement cases involving seven companies at the same time.

This incident was so sudden that there was no news of it before.

Not only the public, but also the industry and even the well-informed media industry, even these seven companies were confused when they suddenly got the news. It all happened so suddenly.

Although the previous competition was fierce, it has not yet reached the point of confrontation. Now, Haoyu Technology suddenly announced that it will sue seven companies in 27 countries involving 1439 patent infringement cases at the same time. , this is a rare rhythm to tear the face.

Obviously, this piece of heavy news shocked the seven companies. The entire stock market was also shocked. After receiving the news, the stock prices of these seven companies all fell that day, ranging from 2% to 7%. The largest single-day drop for the first time.

Although it was a bit sudden, these companies also reacted quickly. The top priority is to issue an announcement first to stabilize the morale of the army, comfort investors, and stabilize stock prices.

The CEO of the fruit company posted on overseas social media: "We are shocked by the sudden large-scale lawsuit filed by Haoyu Technology, and are currently actively evaluating the impact of this incident on the company and the consumer market, and will actively The response comes from Haoyu Technology's groundless accusations against us.

For a long time, the fruit company insists on innovation, is a firm defender of market order, and a firm supporter of patent laws. Our related technologies have passed strict professional technical and legal evaluations, and there is no infringement. We express our indignation and firm opposition to Haoyu Technology's baseless accusations. We will reserve the right to take further relevant measures to safeguard the legitimate interests of the enterprise. "

As for S Star Company, it responded: "The accusation of Haoyu Technology is unreasonable and wrong. The technologies used in our products are all independently developed by our company, and we own all intellectual property rights. There is no Patent Infringement.

Haoyu Technology's groundless accusation is a slander against us,

It is an insult to our scientific research and technical personnel, and we will take appropriate actions to safeguard our legitimate interests, reputation and dignity.

We have organized a large legal team to actively respond to these accusations, and will sue Haoyu Technology for stealing and infringing our patented technology, and resolutely defend our interests. "

As for G song company, it seems a little reserved. His CEO responded in social media: "This is really bad news. Technology patents should not be obstacles and fences hindering social development.

For related allegations, we will organize technical experts and legal experts to evaluate and actively respond to the lawsuit. I trust my engineers, and I trust my legal experts, they are really good. "

Faced with the responses of these giants, major companies are also scrambling to report, and even many media have started special topics to track and report these events.

Now the seven companies that Science and Technology is going to sue have basically responded, but as the parties involved in the incident, Haoyu Technology Company, the suing party, Wu Hao and the others are very calm, even unexpectedly silent.

He chose to ignore all these responses and remained silent. So more people and even the industry turned their attention to Haoyu Technology, Wu Hao and the others, wanting to know how they should react next.

Is it simply to send out an announcement, scare the other party, express your attitude and it's over, or do you really have to pay for the incident.

Some media even set up a temporary studio in Anxi and began to produce a series of related news reports. Of course, these media will also do one thing in common, which is to contact and apply for interviews.

In order to seize the exclusive headlines, many media even try to find ways to enter Haoyu Technology's headquarters park. For example, ordinary tourists want to mix in, but they have not succeeded.

However, all tourists have to go through security checks when entering the park, and professional interview equipment cannot enter, so of course it is impossible to conduct formal interviews, so they can only do it secretly.
