Rebirth 1999: Opening up the era of black technology

(Please recommend these three words, almost no one has seen them, woo woo woo...)

Chief Luo flipped through the patent application documents on the newspaper.

This patent was applied for by Jiangzhou Machinery Factory, but the subject of the patented invention is Su Qiao, a senior high school student in Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Su Qiao’s transcript is also attached at the back of the patent application.

Attaching a transcript is not necessary to apply for a patent, but Su Qiao attached it to prove that his grades were excellent and that it was reasonable to invent the integrated circuit motherboard.

At this time, Section Chief Luo Hai's landline rang.

At first glance, I saw that it belonged to Zhang Bo, the leader in charge.

Zhang Bo: "Luo Hai, have you read all the patent applications in this batch? One patent is about a CNC machine tool motherboard. The inventor seems to be a high school student. This matter must be taken seriously!"

"I suggest that we invite an expert group to meet tomorrow to review and see if the technology meets the requirements. If it passes, this matter must be vigorously publicized and praised!"

Zhang Bo said: "It is already the year 2000. Our country must realize the four modernizations and become an industrial power. Such talents must be encouraged!"

"Understood!" Luo Hai quickly prepared the review materials for tomorrow's meeting.

In 2000, the number of patent applications was not very large, and the number of applied patents that Luo Hai's department was responsible for was even smaller.

Since he had to invite review experts, Luo Hai was lucky enough to review all five patent applications he had and then send them to experts for review tomorrow.

When Luo Hai saw the fourth patent, he was stunned!

what's the situation!

The fourth patent application is also for the motherboard of CNC machine tools.

Luo Hai thought they were two different CNC machine tools. When he took a closer look, it turned out that they were the same type of CNC machine tools.

For the fourth patent application information, the company submitted was Jiangzhou Linghua Equipment Company, but the applicant was Chen Xiao, who was also a high school student in Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.

What's happening here!

Luo Hai was stunned!

The same project was invented by two students, but the patent application materials were duplicated?

The motherboard of CNC machine tools is an integrated circuit type, which is a relatively difficult application-oriented invention.

There are students with excellent grades who can invent this, which is worthy of encouragement and joy, but two students in a row have invented this...

Luo Hai quickly compared the information of the two patent applications.

He couldn't understand the circuit diagram of the motherboard, only experts could understand it, but Luo Hai could understand the text.

Chen Xiao has applied for two patents, one for the motherboard of a certain model of CNC machine tool, and the other for CNC machine tool visualization applications and operating systems.

The visualization application and operating system of CNC machine tools are also major inventions!

Although a small number of domestic CNC machine tools also have visual interfaces, this visual interface is more similar to the display of a handheld calculator without any system, let alone the means to control CNC equipment through the operating interface.

This is definitely a revolutionary invention that changes domestic CNC machine tools!

Luo Hai was excited! After comparison, the invention Chen Xiao applied for was undoubtedly more advanced.

If the visualization application and operating system inventions are approved by experts, there will be no problem in granting patents.

But who is granted the motherboard invention patent?

According to the patent granting regulations, the patent is granted to whoever invents it first, and the inventor has already received patent protection the moment he invented the invention, even if he has not applied for a patent.

Judging from the information provided, Su Qiao's invention patent was applied earlier than Chen Xiao's.

Is it plagiarism or what?

Luo Hai could only write down the relevant information on the review materials and submit them to the expert group tomorrow for a decision.

The next morning, a team of experts hired by the Patent Office came to the conference room.

The Patent Office has different expert groups for different types of inventions. Most of the experts come from universities in the Yanjing area (Yenjing University, Shuimu University, etc.) as well as experts from local research institutes in Yanjing and factory technical experts, etc.

This time, of course, the experts invited were experts in the fields of microelectronic integrated circuits and mechanical equipment.

The experts sat down and chatted animatedly.

Everyone is an old acquaintance, and most of the topics they talk about are industry conditions.

"The Japanese people are really disgusting. They built a Makino machine tool branch in Qingdao. All the core technical departments do not allow our people to participate! It's really still 1935!"

"The management over at Dongyang has their eyes set on the sky and treats our technicians as second-class citizens. NND, this is not the Puppet Manchukuo!"

An expert from a certain research institute complained about his experience in the past few days.

"It's normal not to let our people go. This is a trade secret. Makino built the factory in Qingdao not to help us improve our technology, but to open up our country's market."

"Makino's equipment costs hundreds of thousands of yuan per unit, but it only costs tens of thousands of RMB in Europe! Is this bullying us because we have no skills?!"

CNC machine tools are one of them.

"Why!"

Everyone sighed deeply, feeling quite aggrieved.

There is no way to be inferior to others, only to be bullied.

Professor Tang from the Microelectronics Department of Suimu University (the school did not change in 2000) said: "We must admit the gap between inherited circuits and Western countries, but it doesn't matter, just catch up!"

Someone said: "Professor Tang, I heard that you went to Jiangyang Province to recruit a talented student in microelectronics in advance!"

Professor Tang laughed twice and said, "Yes! A senior high school student actually simplified the circuit of the main board of the Demag machine tool and even produced it and applied it."

Professor Tang pointed to a stack of documents on the table and said: "This time during the patent review, there is his invention application."

"Really! This kid is so awesome!"

"Congratulations, congratulations! Professor Tang, you have recruited another proud student!"

Professor Tang waved his hand very modestly and said: "As educators, what do we do? It is to discover talents and cultivate talents!"

Luo Hai and Zhang Bo walked in, and the patent review meeting began.

Zhang Bo said with a smile: "Experts and teachers, I'm really sorry to trouble you again today."

Luo Hai put two pieces of information (this group only reviews patent applications on integrated circuits) on the table and said: "Experts, we encountered a problem this time. Two people applied for the same patent almost at the same time, and

These two are both senior students at Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School."

"Ah!?" The experts were stunned.

Professor Tang was even more confused and said: "I know an applicant named Su Qiao who has been specially recruited by Shuimu University. The reason for special recruitment is this invention! His patent application was submitted under the guidance of a teacher from our admissions team.

You said that besides Su Qiao, another student has applied for the same patent? Is it plagiarism?"
