Rebirth 2003: Dominate the Tech World

Time flies, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

Xingyao Company gradually got on the right track, and the company’s articles of association and rules and regulations were finally finalized after several revisions. After the company had articles of association and regulations, the Human Resources Department immediately carried out training throughout the company, striving to train all the current 70 new employees of the company into the company’s most combat-capable core personnel in the shortest time.

On the other hand, after Zhang Tianming got the patent information given by Ye Yunzhou, he immediately mobilized the company’s strength to start the patent application operation. At present, patent applications, especially this kind of one-time application for multiple patents, generally follow the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty). Submitting an international patent application through the PCT channel can obtain patent protection in multiple countries or regions. This can simplify the process and save costs.

And when it comes to the time to choose to enter the national stage, that is, after the PCT application, there is usually 30 months to decide which specific countries to enter. This period of time can be used to further evaluate the market and technical value. For example, if the market value of some countries suddenly decreases, the patent application in these countries can be withdrawn. This can save both time and money.

However, patent applications are not done overnight, and the process and review time involved are very long.

Fortunately, in Xiaguo, Ye Yunzhou found several law firms with red backgrounds. They have a strong relationship with the government and directly opened a green channel for the patent applications of Ye Yunzhou’s three companies. In other words, as long as the patent applications of Cambrian, Alphabet, and Xingyao can go through the green channel and be reviewed first.

However, because Ye Yunzhou has too many patents, the number of patents submitted by the three companies has exceeded 50,000, and there are more than 50,000 that have not been submitted. Even if the government’s patent review department opens a green channel, it will not be completed in a short time.

Fortunately, the most valuable invention patents, totaling more than 30,000, have all been submitted for review, at least in terms of time.

You know, once a patent dispute is involved in the future, the time for submitting a patent application is very, very important. Because in the application of a patent, the ownership of the patent is generally determined according to the time when the patent is submitted, so Ye Yunzhou is so anxious to submit the patent in his hand quickly. You know, these patent materials are from tens of thousands of companies in developed countries. If you don’t submit your application quickly, others will apply first.

Of course, these patents are not completely copied. Some of them are made by Jarvis himself based on other people’s concepts. Now these patent technologies are very low-end and of low value to Jarvis, but that is only for the highly developed world of Marvel Universe. For Blue Star, these are already the most advanced and cutting-edge technologies in the world today.

……

In Tokyo, Japan, Sony’s headquarters, Sony’s CEO Nobuyuki Idei is listening to relevant reports from the technical and legal departments.

The reason is that in recent days, when Sony submitted a patent application, it was found that the patents they were going to apply for had been submitted in advance by others, which surprised them.

However, what surprised them even more was that the applications for these patents came from Xiaguo. You know, these involve technologies related to the third-generation mobile communications. Only several major communication giants in developed countries in the world have the strength to research them. Now suddenly several Xiaguo companies have emerged and applied for a large number of core patents in the field of 3G communications. How can they not be shocked?

“Ogura-kun, are you saying that others have also applied for patents for all the technologies that we are still in the experimental verification stage?” Nobuyuki Idei asked with a frown.

“Yes, President, all the patents related to 3G communication that we are still in the experimental stage have been applied for.” Ogura replied helplessly.

Ogura is the head of Sony’s technology department, and he attaches great importance to patent applications. At the same time, he is also more concerned about the research and development progress of cutting-edge technologies. According to his information, the companies that can currently do the most cutting-edge technology research and development in the field of communications are only in the United States, Europe and several companies in Japan. Now, a company suddenly emerged in Daxia and applied for a large number of patents in the most cutting-edge communication field.

“In other words, our research and development speed has been surpassed by Xiaguo? Ogura, is that so?”

Ogura’s face changed drastically. You know, in Japanese companies, the hierarchy is strict, and the president, Nobuyuki Idei, has a heavy majesty. Now the president’s tone is obviously blaming their R&D department for the slow progress.

Ogura calmed down and said respectfully: “President, these companies in Xiaguo are very mysterious. According to our information, including Cisco, Qualcomm, Motorola in the United States, and Nokia in Europe, etc., these companies are still in the experimental stage.Many technologies have been patented. ”

Idei Nobuyuki felt a little better when he heard that many technologies in the experimental stage of American companies had been patented.

“What is their reaction now?”

Ogura-kun said cautiously: “They are also surprised. They are investigating these Xia companies and should be able to get results soon.”

“Have we sent people to investigate these Xia companies?” Idei Nobuyuki turned to look at Stringer, the head of the company’s operations department.

Stringer is a European, but he is not afraid of Idei Nobuyuki. He just said lightly: “We have sent people to investigate a few days ago, and we expect to have news in the next few days. ”

“……”

USA, California, Qualcomm headquarters.

The entire Qualcomm executives have also noticed that a company in Xiaguo has recently applied for a large number of patents in the field of chips and 3G communications, and many of these patents are still in the experimental stage of Qualcomm, which makes them feel threatened.

This meeting of the core management is to study countermeasures.

In this era, Qualcomm is undoubtedly a super giant in the field of communications. It is one of the main promoters of 3G technology, especially in the CDMA2000 standard. Of course, Qualcomm is also the company with the largest number of 3G patents.

However, now suddenly several Xiaguo companies have applied for a large number of patents in the field of chips and communications where Qualcomm is good at. If these patents are approved, Qualcomm’s number of patents in the field of communications will soon be surpassed. How can this not make Qualcomm feel a crisis?

“Dr. Li Tingwei, do you know these Xiaguo companies? ” asked Paul Jacobs, chairman of Qualcomm.

Li Tingwei was appointed as the head of Qualcomm Xiaguo public affairs in September 2002. He is one of the most senior Chinese executives in Qualcomm.

“Mr. Chairman, as far as I know, these companies have been established for a short time. Cambrian, the oldest company, has been established for less than a year, and Xingyao has only been established for more than a month. The most shocking thing is that the founders of these three companies are the same person, a 16-year-old boy.”

“Dr. Li, I want the actual situation, not your fabricated oriental myths.” Paul Jacobs said with a dark face.

“Mr. Chairman, I think Dr. Li is not telling a myth, but stating the facts.” Meng Pu, who was sitting next to Paul Jacobs, said.

Meng Pu was appointed as the vice president of business development of Qualcomm in September 2002. He is one of the company’s senior management. Paul believes what he said.

Paul was silent for a moment and asked, “Have you investigated the forces behind him? Do you believe that a 16-year-old boy can create so many companies in less than a year? The most outrageous thing is that he has come up with so many patents. ”

“Mr. Chairman, in fact, I arranged for someone to investigate half a month ago, but nothing unusual was found.” Meng Pu finished speaking, and everyone in the conference room fell silent.

“Michael, is it possible that the information in your laboratory was stolen by them?” As soon as Paul finished speaking, Michael shook his head and said, “Impossible, many of the patents they applied for are still in the conceptual stage. Could it be that they took a time machine to travel to the future to steal our technology?”

“Since the possibility of their theft has been ruled out, it means that they have a very top scientific research team behind them. Do you think it could be the Xia government?”

Li Tingwei nodded and said, “It is very likely. The Xia government itself is very mysterious, and I think only with national-level support can so many patents be produced in a short period of time. ”

“I don’t agree with Dr. Li’s point of view. You should know that Cambrian Company has a software called “Trading Treasure”. Because of this software, the FBI once investigated a man named Ye Yunzhou, but no matter how they investigated, they found no abnormalities. For this reason, they also used the dark line in Xiaguo. You should know that the dark line is in the core department of Xiaguo and can retrieve other people’s files at any time. ”

“Mr. Meng Pu, maybe the so-called FBI dark line you mentioned is just a special introduction by the Xia government to paralyze you. The Xia government is very mysterious. Anyone who can enter their core circle must undergo a strict background check, so it is very likely that the FBI has also been deceived. ”

After Li Tingwei finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
