Chapter 183

For example, can the designers of gang leader Qiao simulate the appearance and internal configuration of all iPads in their minds now?

Can Samsung's group of Korean guys now draw out their mobile phones that are more popular than apple in Europe and America, and say some simple and unique functions?

Obviously impossible!

The burst of design inspiration can only be stimulated at a specific time.

If the iPhone of gang leader Qiao had not been born, no one would have thought that smart phones could do that. The research engineers of various companies would not focus on the research of smart phones, nor would they have many classic models - without iPhone, Nokia and Motorola would still be classic!

But they can't, but Xiao Qi can!

Because of these electronic products, Xiao Qi has played, disassembled and assembled them. He can draw three-dimensional drawings, anatomical drawings and accurate design drawings with his eyes closed.

Therefore, the second kind of patent, design patent, seems to have been prepared for Xiao Qi, so that he can find a way to survive among the numerous technical patents.

If it weren't for this, Xiao Qi really didn't dare to make tablet computers or mobile phones. It's not certain that he will be killed by European and American companies at that time.

When he was at home on weekdays, Xiao Qi took the paper and drew all kinds of shape patents of mobile phones and tablets that he could remember, even simple technical patents. He first drew the whole, then drew the details, and then gave a certain shape feature into the patent application format with various side, front, anatomical drawings, etc.

Even if some very simple and special technologies use patents without spending more technology accumulation, Xiao Qi draws them all and describes them in words. Then he quantifies them in a unified format with accurate scales on the computer and takes them to the U.S. patent and Trademark Office for application.

Xiao Qi also knows that many of these 120 patents have already been applied for by Microsoft, apple, Nokia, Ericsson and other companies. As long as their applications are found to conflict with others' applications, they will be rejected.

But if you don't try, how can you know if it's ok?

What if they haven't applied for some patents?

Technology may be a little more difficult, but these shape design patents, even apple, which leads the trend of smart phones, may have just applied for some at this time. It's not as crazy as when the iPhone was about to be released at the end of this year?

Compared with the internal technology, the lethality of appearance is undoubtedly greater for consumers.

Think about it. How depressed would it be if you could not use a beautiful design because it violated someone else's patent?

You want to use it, too?

Good!

Then open your invention technology patent to me. I just need it!

If you don't allow me to use it, you can't use my tablet patent. You can only watch such a big cake in front of you and smell the fragrance, but you can't eat it.

For foreigners, they certainly don't have the mentality of "I don't do it, you don't want to do it". What they usually like most is compromise and cooperation. Making money together is the right way - generally speaking, trust monopoly is that people negotiate and work together.

With such an excited and uneasy mood, Xiao Qi got on a luxury large plane of Boeing.

Two hours later, after leaving Washington Airport, he took a taxi all the way to the Carlisle area of Alexandria and stopped at the gate of the headquarters of the office building of the U.S. patent and Trademark Office.

As a country that attaches importance to intellectual property rights, the U.S. patent and Trademark Office has been very busy since the time of Edison.

Although it is already around 4 p.m. on Friday, near the time of weekend holiday, there are still people coming and going and vehicles coming and going.

The headquarters building of the patent and Trademark Office, which was completed only last July, has a total construction area of 2.6 million square feet for five office buildings, and a total area of 1.3 million square feet for two parking lots. What a luxury!

As for the two rows of townhouses and various related facilities, it sets off the huge and busy of this institution - an institution that can meet all its expenses and use its balance to build such a large-scale building complex, I'm afraid there is only this patent and Trademark Office in addition to the tax bureau and customs.

Xiao Qi was no stranger to the set of American public institutions. He walked into a spacious and bright building. After receiving the number plate in the hall on the first floor, he came to the hall on the third floor according to the instructions. After waiting for about 40 minutes, he finally called his number.

He was served by a white woman with blond hair and blue eyes. She looked beautiful in the distance, but when she came closer, there were a lot of freckles.

A beautiful woman about 30 years old has a number plate with "Susan" on her angry chest.

"Hi, sir, how can I help you?" Susan is a little tired, but her attitude is still very good.

"Miss Susan, my name is Xiao Qi, from China. I'm here to apply for a patent." Xiao Qi opened the box, took out stacks of drawings from it, and put all the tables: "a total of 120 patent applications, including 42 invention patents and 78 design patents, please."

"Wow ~ ~" Susan looked at him in surprise. First she looked at Xiao Qi's application materials, and then said in surprise, "you're specially from China to apply for these patents?"

"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded.

"Oh, let me see, consumer electronics related, mobile phone shape, tablet shape... Tut Tut, Mr. Xiao, you are great!" Susan is a federal employee in charge of consumer electronics. Although she is not a patent examiner, she has more contact and naturally knows something.

"It's just something I'm thinking about on weekdays. I don't know whether it's useful or not." Xiao Qi scratched his head very simply and honestly.

It's easy for the electronics industry to produce some young talents, such as Joe gang leader in those years, such as Bill Gates and Dell in those years. But it's the first time for an 18-year-old Chinese teenager to apply in the United States with more than 100 patent applications.

After looking at a few patent drawings, Susan found that these drawings were very routine, which she saw on weekdays, and described in great detail. It can be seen that she had spent some time.

The patent application is very interesting. In addition to your drawings, the description of function and appearance is also an important indicator of a patent.

As long as your patent application is approved, not only the drawings, but also the description statements and descriptions next to the drawings belong to the contents of the patent. You can directly apply for your own claims, so as to restrict the use and creation of others（ It's not finished yet.
