Chapter 403

"Miss Li Lu, only part of our patent applications have come down. Some officials of the Patent Office believe that your design is not too unique, so no patented technology has been issued..." Anna said to Li Lu, the employer, while stirring the coffee with a spoon.

For the patented technology of design, it has also begun to rise in Europe and America in recent years.

The shape design of many products is very important.

The same product, the same performance and appearance are the most important means to attract customers.

Originally, they thought that the beautiful designs provided by the spokesperson of wheat mobile phone company from the eastern mainland could pass the examination of the officials of the patent office. However, in the end, they, who had experienced many patent applications, found that although the officials of the patent office thought these designs were very beautiful, But many are procrastinating with the shape design of existing equipment

"Can the design patent of butterfly model be licensed? What about the shape design of flip and skateboard mobile phones? " Yunfei explained before coming. Some designs may not be able to win patents. As long as some core technology patents are won, it will be enough for them to operate in the future.

Patents on the technical level are the easiest to apply for.

As long as through the search, the patent office has not applied for a patent license for the same type of technology. As long as the Patent Office confirms these technologies, it will not hesitate to issue a patent license. But it is difficult to define the design.

"These have been taken down..." Anna was attracted by the exquisite shapes when she first saw these design materials. Although the functions of these mobile phones are not very powerful, the small and exquisite shape is enough to make any woman scream, not to mention that this small thing is the most advanced communication equipment in the world.

"What about the built-in game patent in the mobile phone? What are the built-in functions such as alarm clock? Can these vibration functions be taken down? " Li Lu is most worried about these things.

Yunfei has already explained to him that these things are the inevitable trend of mobile phone development in the future.

If we can hold these patents in our hands, wheat mobile phones will be invincible.

Now the market is full of analog signal carriers. Although Europe has begun to study the communication equipment of digital signal, no one has launched mature products. As for the patent application for digital signal communication equipment, Yunfei wants to apply, but it seems that no company in the world has such a patent, so he can only think about it.

Digital signal communication is defined by these guys in Europe, so there is no way to obtain patents. Both European and American communication equipment manufacturers and the electronic communication projects of Yunfei's 91 Research Institute are based on the two communication modes of GSM or CDMA in Europe.

"Er, we got the patent license for the built-in game, but the officials of the patent office didn't agree to grant the patent for the vibration function, alarm clock function and even calculator function..." Anna didn't know what the officials of the patent office thought.

"Didn't we pass the search?" Li Lu was curious.

In theory, as long as you can retrieve what you don't have, you can apply for a registered patent.

Anna can't answer Li Lu's question.

People from the European Patent Office found that if all the patented technologies applied by the Chinese communication equipment manufacturer with no reputation represented by Merck Hiller's team are patented, any European enterprise that wants to produce communication equipment in this field in the future must obtain the production license of the Oriental company, This is a disaster for European communication equipment manufacturers, which have always been the industry leaders.

However, they have no way to refuse some core things and design applications with unique creativity. Otherwise, there will be a huge scandal in the European Patent Office. At that time, not many enterprises will choose the European Patent Office anyway. The situation of the European Patent Office, which has been created after decades of efforts and covers almost all countries with strong technical strength in Europe, will be chaotic.

Therefore, they refused to grant a patent license for some patent applications that they thought were insignificant.

"That's what happened?" Yunfei was stunned when he heard the report from Li Lu who came back from Europe.

It seems that it is not so easy for Chinese people to apply for patents in Europe, is it? Those bastards granted a patent license in such a short time?

"That's it! However, I think the success this time is largely due to the efforts of the Merck Hiller team. They seem to be very familiar with intellectual property... "Li Lu is very optimistic about the Merck Hiller team.

Although she spent more time in Europe than in America, Japan and South Korea, the patents of those countries can only cover one country. The European Patent Office covers most of the developed countries in Europe.

"Why is it so easy?" Yun Fei was confused.

"With the development of our country's economic construction, those countries in Europe are more and more eager to get such a huge consumer market as China. You know, the population of the whole Europe is no less than that of Europe. As long as the economy develops, the potential consumer market can be comparable to that of Europe and the United States! " Li Lu was born in trade. She still understands these things.

Theoretically, wheat mobile phone is the first Chinese company to register a patent with the European Patent Office. They have to pay attention to it. Although Li Lu rarely participates in this process.

Over the years, China has been seeking to join the world trade organization, but some developed countries in Europe and the United States have obstructed it and set many obstacles for China.

However, many European enterprises are now more and more optimistic about the Chinese market. It is precisely because of China's trade barriers that manufacturers in many countries have to invest and build factories in China in order to get China's huge market. They prefer the complete opening of the Chinese market.

"Well, whatever, it's a good thing anyway. You've been on the plane for so long. Let's take a bath and have a rest. I'll deal with some things in the company first and pick you up at night... "Yun Fei sent Li Lu home and went to his office in Jiuyi heavy industry.

At the moment, several leaders of state-owned 754 plant are waiting for him in his office, and the leaders of 555 plant are also there.

Factory 754 is the old owner of Yunfei. Before it should be opened to the outside world, its technology in materials belongs to the first-class in China. However, with the rise of local material factories in some raw material producing areas after the reform and opening up, there are more and more competitors for products with huge investment scale, little technical content and huge market, In particular, now the self hardening alloy factory next to Jiuyi heavy industry is also marching into the raw material market of rare metals, making 754 factory, which is already inefficient, even worse.

Last year, in 1993, the net profit of the whole 754 plant was only 240 yuan! According to the historical development, the 754 factory will have a better life until it becomes the dominant raw material supply factory of lighting materials such as Philip. Of course, finally, with the rise of some small private factories in China and some disadvantages existing in state-owned factories, 754 factory fell into the crisis of bankruptcy again after losing some large foreign customers. Only when it finally purchased some technology of tungsten and molybdenum products from the technicians of some companies producing tungsten and molybdenum products can it barely survive.

Of course, they should have made huge profits, but because of the bloated organizational structure in the factory and the common laziness of state-owned factories, their production costs are much higher than those of small enterprises, so that they can only barely survive.

There are only 170 people in Yunfei's machining workshop, but there are more than 90 managers and technicians.

Even so, among the workers less than No. 80, there are many dirty things that people criticize. In some small processing factories outside, a worker who opens CNC wire cutting can open at least three sets of wire cutting, but in 754 factory, three people open one set of wire cutting (there is no shift system) and are equipped with a special inspection!

This matter makes Yunfei feel extremely painful when he thinks of it.

Of course, if we want to talk about the benefits, the benefits of this plant have not been better since it entered the market economy. If it is not finally acquired by Xiamen tungsten group, coupled with the establishment of a plant producing tungsten and molybdenum products in cooperation with the devil and the sale of the land in the City Center, it is estimated that it will go bankrupt directly in the 21st century, Yunfei has no chance to enter the production workshop of that company to learn good technology.

Although Yunfei doesn't like 754 factory, which has a very serious bureaucratic style, he has stayed in that factory for so many years, so now he has the opportunity to cooperate, so he will make do with it.

Sanwu factory is an electronic factory integrating research and production in the field of electronic materials. However, the products produced and studied in the factory are ordinary products without much high-tech content, such as diode and triode.

In terms of technical strength, it is not as strong as the electronic workshop of 91 heavy industry, let alone compared with those electronic branches of aerospace.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I just went to the airport to pick up a friend from Europe, so I'm late. Please forgive me..." Yun Fei walked into the meeting room and saw several familiar people. He said apologetically.

They hurried and said, "I don't deserve it.".
