"Mr. Feng, I am Lao Zong. Is the lawsuit with AIWA over?"
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows, what does Zong Qing care about in the first place
"Come on, are you okay?"
"I found that there is a USB flash drive produced by a company in the United States that uses our patented technology from Aihua Electronics, but it is not authorized by us. This has been verified by engineers. The circuit board is almost exactly the same as ours."
"So, you plan to sue them?" Feng Yu was very pleased, knowing that it is a good thing to use legal weapons to protect his rights. In the previous life, many companies in China had patents, but they only looked at domestic companies. If foreign companies infringed on their patents, they didn't care at all.
Some people think that patents are country-specific, some feel that they are beyond their reach, and some feel that it is impossible to win a lawsuit with foreigners, especially Americans!
"Well, I discussed it with Xu Lihua and the others. This matter must teach that company some lessons. I heard that companies in Nanyang and other countries have also infringed upon it. We plan to sue them all!"
"Hahaha, Lao Zong, I also know about this matter, but I don't think it's appropriate to sue them now." Feng Yu said with a smile.
"Mr. Feng, we have a patent, why can't we sue them? Although we haven't applied for the patent in the United States, we are guaranteed to get it approved this year." Zong Qingxian was a little anxious. Mr. Feng didn't seem to be a timid person. Ah, why are you so timid today!
He asked someone to inquire about patents. Although all countries have to apply for patents, as long as one country in the world has passed the patented technology, other countries cannot apply for it, and they must also follow and protect it, unless this country does not follow the international rules. Patent Law.
It's obvious that they are justified, why can't they sue them? !
"Old Zong, I'm not saying that we can't sue them, but I'm saying that I won't sue them for the time being. Let me ask you, how many products have they produced now? If we win the lawsuit, the worst they can do is stop producing. How big can the loss be? Can we compensate? How much do we pay? If we wait until they produce more, or even expand their scale, and we tell them that their products are infringing, how much compensation do you think we can ask for?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.
"What do you mean, first pretend not to know, indulge them, and then give them a fatal blow?" Zong Qing said first, Mr. Feng is still bad. In this way, those companies will definitely have to pay a lot of money. ah.
Feng Yu has learned that several companies are applying for USB flash drive patent technology at this time, but they have all been rejected. When they saw it, they saw that it was applied by a Chinese company. Does a place like China know how to protect patents
In the past, China did not follow international patent protection laws or anything like that. Many domestic products were taken apart from foreign products and then manufactured by themselves.
They are not exported anyway, and some are even sold in this city, so nothing happened at first. But when those foreign companies investigated, no wonder our products became less and less popular. It turned out to be infringement.
They want to safeguard their rights, but China does not accept such lawsuits at all. At that time, in the Chinese people's concept, you can sell chairs, but I can't sell chairs? What's wrong with the appearance and what's wrong with the internal circuit? I didn't steal your drawings!
Anyway, taking apart the other party's products and doing reverse research can always save a lot of trouble. It wasn't until Liu Chuanzhi's father that China paid attention to patents, because at that time many of China's inventions were patented by foreign companies. When they wanted to go abroad, they discovered that other countries simply did not allow the import of such infringing products.
For example, the VCD in the previous life was patented by an island country company in advance. The island country company bought the product made by Jiang Wanmeng, went back and took it apart for research, and mastered the technology.
Go back and use the diplomacy between the two countries to protest with China. Your company has violated the law. At that time, China had gradually begun to recognize patent laws, and it was establishing diplomatic relations with the island country at that time, so it ordered Jiang Wanmeng and the others to reconcile with the island country's companies.
How to reconcile? Just give me some money and then pay the patent licensing fee. In order to check and balance the development of some companies, companies in island countries license patents to multiple companies and let them compete with each other. No matter who produces the product, they have to pay them.
Just from this alone, those companies made a lot of profits. It also seriously hindered the development of China's industry, including later DVDs, optical drives, etc. How much profit should there be. The companies and brands founded by Jiang Wanmeng in his previous life also disappeared in this way.
Although China has already implemented patent laws, people in many countries still have an impression, or a kind of discrimination, that Chinese people do not know how to protect patents and are afraid of foreigners!
As a result, several companies openly produced USB flash drives and also exported them to China. In the name of imported products, their products were more expensive than Fengyu, Aihua, and Lianxiang brands, but some people were really willing to buy them.
Feng Yu no longer wants to say anything about this. It may be easy to change one person's concept, but it is more difficult to change the concept of a group of people or a country.
However, Feng Yu firmly believes that sooner or later, Chinese people will know that the products made in China are among the best in the world, and many of them are at the top of the world pyramid!
"Then why don't we attack them at home first? For example, we can take the lead in lowering prices and force them to lower prices too?" Zong Qingxian also thought of a good idea. Since we want to trick them, we might as well trick them harder.
"No, no, no, why do we need to lower the price? Didn't we just launch the 1g USB flash drive? After a while, we will launch the 2g USB flash drive and keep leading in technology and cost. In this way, our profits will be the same Leading. It is not easy for them to surpass us. Let them develop well first, so that we can earn more royalties from them in the future. Otherwise, what if they go bankrupt? Our current goal , is to research new flash memory applications, such as the SD card I mentioned, isn't it said to be successful immediately? Apply for a patent quickly, don't let other companies get the lead."
The previous SD card was jointly launched by Songxia, Dongzhi, Sunny and other companies, and the patents were jointly held by them. At that time, they produced it to make memory cards for digital cameras.
Feng Yu wants to develop this because he wants to use it as a memory card for mobile phones. Of course, it can also be used for digital cameras.
Any technology, as long as it is refined and no one has it but I have it, can almost always make money. What's more, this can also check and balance the development of digital cameras in island countries.
The patented technology that Kameda Masao bought from Kodak cost a lot of money. For this reason, Feng Yu also planned to launch Fengyu and Aihua digital cameras.
According to the influence of Fengyu Brand and Aihua Brand in China, it is not a problem to occupy at least most of the market in China.
And when this SD card is officially used, it may be able to develop abroad.

"Hey, Feng, on behalf of Microsoft, I'm going to Aihua Xiaobawang to inspect the work. Why don't you personally receive me?" (To be continued.)
