Chapter 985

The third week of May.

The whole new energy industry is in a turbulent situation. A message from the U.S. Department of Commerce adds firewood to the bottom of the oil barrel that is likely to explode at any time.

At the second press conference this month, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Commerce, dressed in a suit, said solemnly in front of the camera.

"After a week of research, we have collected evidence from 16 new energy companies around the world and consulted with people in the industry."

"We have enough evidence to prove that star technology has obvious monopoly behavior."

"In addition, we especially noticed that when the charging pile enterprises controlled by Star Technology and Tesla group competed with the charging pile business of the Yangtze River Delta city group of China, they adopted malicious competition means and set the exclusive threshold to prevent other enterprises from entering the field, which is against the spirit of free trade and hinders the development of the industry Show order. "

"In view of this, we will bring a lawsuit to the court on the legality of SH standard."

"Considering that the launch of SH standard is one of the evidences that star technology interferes with the market order with the help of patent, this case will be combined with the anti-monopoly investigation!"

There was an uproar at the scene of the press conference.

Reporters at the scene rushed forward like sharks smelling fishy. They pressed the shutter in their hands, fearing that they would miss every expression on the face of the spokesman.

Illegal sh standard!

The US Department of Commerce will launch an anti-monopoly investigation on Star Technology!

Indeed, the development of China's new energy industry, after all, has aroused the vigilance of the United States.

Neither the white house nor Congress can sit back and let this continue.

It can be predicted that the whole new energy industry will usher in a dramatic change because of the action of the US Department of Commerce!

The reporters standing at the scene, their eyes shining with bright light, have even thought about the headlines in the newspaper tomorrow.

Even in the whole month to come, don't worry about not having enough strong news!

Just after the press conference of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the news of major newspapers has not even been produced. The content of Star Technology in the conference has been spread along the Internet.

The amount of discussion on this topic on Facebook exploded in a flash.

In a twinkling of an eye, whether it's academia or industry, whether it's Wall Street investment banks moving bricks or delivering takeout to white-collar workers in office buildings, whether it's the circle of overseas students or the community of overseas Chinese in Hong Kong and Taiwan, are all discussing this matter warmly.

I think the White House should have done it! ]

[evil XX people use our legal loopholes to achieve their hidden goals! They are trying to make us as unfree as they are! ]

[I think the Qi standard is very good. In addition to mobile phones, it can be fully compatible with new energy vehicles. Why must the SH standard be used? Can't those Chinese do things according to our standards? ]

grass! You have to use your standards! If you have the ability, you don't need the patent of lithium-air battery! ]

[is the upstairs coming out of the wall? Don't forget, the patent of lithium-air battery belongs to ExxonMobil. (pick your nose)]

[bullshit! What carbon molecules are all lithium-air battery patents? Did you eat the oxygen through the membrane? And how did I hear that the mathematical model in Professor Stanley's paper was copied from Professor Lu. ]

[it's just a piece of gossip. I heard that you want to come here. Don't you think it's stupid to take the anecdote as the truth? ]

the arguments seem to be divided into two groups, one is that the US Department of commerce is justified, the other is that such countries are more rogue than building patent barriers to suppress high-tech enterprises in other countries.

To put it bluntly, patent barrier is a very common thing. Any enterprise devoted to R & D will do everything to protect its intellectual property, and this right is recognized by the international community.

After all, if even the most basic right of patent can't be guaranteed, who is willing to do the research and development that is not flattering and risky.

Therefore, in fact, it is untenable to interfere with Star Technology's right to exercise its own patent for the reason of influencing the development of the industry.

However, when the influence of an enterprise has become a part of the national strength, some things can't be seen only from the perspective of the market.

To some extent, the crackdown from the US official forces is just a matter of time for star technology.

Even without the fuse of SH standard, this condition will be triggered by other things in the future.

The U.S. will never allow China to create a "vampire" similar to Qualcomm in a high-tech field, which can roll the wool of its peers all over the world only by virtue of its patent.Or to be more frank, for the white dominated Western world, a third world country trying to develop science and technology is really powerful, and to promote the ranks of developed countries, in their eyes, is a kind of original sin

Therefore, there is a more neutral view in the gap between the positive and negative arguments.

From any point of view, the SH standard is purely market behavior without political purpose. Now, the anti-monopoly investigation of the U.S. Department of Commerce raises it to the level of national confrontation

No matter how you think about it, even from the perspective of Americans themselves, it's not a good thing.

In fact, the view of the neutralists is not that they are worried.

Once the conflict started, it showed an irremediable trend.

Almost the day after the U.S. Department of Commerce came out, the Department of justice followed suit, saying that when examining a patent acquisition case six years ago, it found that the company that bought the patent from ExxonMobil, that is, the shell company that star technology used as a springboard for patent acquisition, had irregular registration procedures Where.

Moreover, the acquisition case itself is suspected of contract fraud!

Exxon Mobil's former employee, who signed the patent transfer agreement at that time, admitted the "fact" that he had received 500000 dollars in bribes from star technology, and signed the confession without much resistance.

Although this may sound bizarre, the patent acquisition case six years ago may be judged illegal if the accusation is true regardless of the plot itself.

ExxonMobil is not sure that the patent related to "cage carbon molecule" involved in the patent acquisition is really possible to be taken back

And there's no need to refund

……

ExxonMobil office.

Pushing open the door, Professor Stanley walked in, his face looking like a monster, staring at Woods at the back of his desk.

"Are you crazy? You know, we all steal from them I don't know why the Chinese didn't investigate the secretly borrowed data, but the way we got the patent is disgraceful! "

"I think it's enough for you scholars to just focus on the things in the laboratory," Woods said with a smile and a little care when playing with the pen on his hand. "What's more, no matter what means we use to get the data, the charges in the court are all evidence, do you understand? Professor Stanley. "

Of course woods doesn't care.

In business, nothing is more than success or failure. The light is not glorious.

But Professor Stanley is different. He is not a businessman. He is a scholar.

He can do disgraceful or even shameless things, but he can't be shameless!

"Sometimes habits are evidence!"

Spitting stars flying, Professor Stanley said to woods in almost roaring voice, "you don't understand that people have been talking behind their backs these years. The mathematical model used in the paper on cage carbon molecules six years ago is exactly the same as the result of the nomination of that person when he won the Nobel Prize in 18 years in terms of data processing techniques! Some people even make fun of me. In the past 18 years, Nobel grade should add my name! "

Woods: isn't that great

"Not at all!" Professor Stanley said angrily, " In recent years, no one has turned over this old account, but because of the patent case, someone has recently begun to bring up the old story again. "

Woods frowned slightly, but the curled eyebrows soon spread out again, in a relaxed tone.

"I don't know a lot about your academic circles, but now I'm not talking about no crime? People suspect you did it, but as long as they don't have evidence, you didn't do it. "

"I just want to tell you that if they come up with this evidence in court, you can't convince the jury at all!"

"It's a lawsuit, but I'm afraid there won't be a jury," Woods said with a smile as he looked at Stanley, whose chest was heaving. "Take it easy, my man Are you here to come back? Don't tell me you're here just to complain about this boring thing to me. "

"I'm so stupid that I shouldn't have come to advise you. It's like playing the piano against a cow!" Stanley held his head regretfully. "You are going further and further on the wrong road. This is not a boring complaint. You will understand why I said that."

"You think it's too complicated," Woods shrugged. "Do you really think we're going to play fair with them? You are wrong. I can tell you responsibly that this is a joint strangulation from the White House and wall street. There is no enterprise in the world that can face both the White House and wall street at the same time, even our own enterprises are impossible. "

Looking at the stunned Professor Stanley, Woods said with a smile."Patents don't matter to them."

"You just need to know, this time they're dead!"
