Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 284 Misconduct
"Fujimura, what's your opinion on Shimokawa's accusation against you?" Utsunomiya looked at the dean of the Humanities Graduate School and asked.After Shimokawa stated the plagiarism of his "Parade in the East and Sending Tang Ji", the dean Fujimura remained silent for nearly ten minutes.

Things got a little worse.

Utsunomiya has secretly sent several signals to Fujimura to let him proceed as usual according to the arrangement, but Fujimura did not follow his instructions.

At this moment, Fujimura frowned, still pondering over the countermeasures in his mind, and glanced at the lawyer named Beiyuan from time to time.

Utsunomiya, Utsunomiya!How could you let that kid in!

Fujimura has already started to scold Utsunomiya in his heart. If there is an unexpected situation, he still asks himself to proceed according to the original plan, so he must not dare to follow through.

After another period of silence, Fujimura said: "This disciplinary hearing is not fair. I was not informed in advance that the speeches at this meeting will be used as evidence in court! I request The hearing will be held at another date."

Beiyuan sat on the seat, picked up the paper cup, and took a sip of water, "Oh. I'm a little curious when the dean said that. What I'm going to solve today is nothing more than the "Eastern Land Parade and Send Tang Ji" Plagiarism. Now the dean says that it takes time to prepare. Does it mean that what you are going to tell the school is different from what you are going to tell the court?"

"You!" Fujimura was choked violently, and after a pause for a few seconds, he spoke again: "Didn't you study law that you want procedural justice?! Procedural justice! Now, I need procedural justice!"

Kitahara spread his hands, shrugged, and imitated Utsunomiya's tone just now, and said, "This is not a court. There is no procedural justice."

This is not a court, these words are exactly what Utsunomiya said to Kitahara before the hearing started.At this moment, it was quoted exactly and presented to Fujimura.

Utsunomiya's face was already extremely dark, and his fingers couldn't help trembling slightly.This time, he really lost face in front of the school's senior management.

He didn't stop this Beiyuan, and he didn't say anything when he entered the university meeting.

What's more, what he said was quoted in reverse and hit back at Fujimura.

I can't procrastinate any longer, I must end.

Utsunomiya looked up and said sternly, "Lawyer Kitahara. I want you to pay attention, this is not a place for you to perform. This occasion is very serious. In addition, I would like to remind you, please do not use the word 'plagiarism' casually." Words. Whether the punctuation marks in ancient books can become the object of copyright protection needs to be judged by experts, don’t say the word “plagiarism” and mislead the listeners present!”

"In this way, what Professor Utsunomiya means is that if the punctuation of ancient books cannot be protected by copyright, then even if Fujimura completely copied Shimokawa's results, he is not responsible for it?" Kitahara shook his hand. The paper cup in the middle opened the mouth and said.

"Please don't make too many factual assumptions in your speech. Before you present specific evidence, please don't say that Fujimura copied Shimokawa's school results!" Utsunomiya raised his voice slightly, and the coercion on his body began Let it out.

"As for the protection of copyright." Utsunomiya sneered.

He decided to take a dimensionality reduction blow to the young man in front of him

Although, the young man took out a pre-litigation investigation order, which was beyond his expectations.

However, this is a young man after all.

This meant that his qualifications and experience were far inferior to his own.

Utsunomiya showed a somewhat bleak smile, and said, "Mr. Kitahara, how many intellectual property cases have you represented?"

A sharp question was thrown out.

How suddenly the pressure in the conference room converged.

It seemed that a cannon was pulled out directly, the shells were loaded, and the black muzzle was aimed at the young lawyer on the field.

Anyone with a discerning eye at the scene knew that the lawyer in front of him was only in his 20s. It was impossible to say that he had rich experience in representing intellectual property cases.

Before Kitahara could answer, Utsunomiya laughed to himself, "Lawyer Kitahara. I'm not showing off my qualifications. What I want to say is that I have been working in the field of intellectual property rights since I was a monk. I went to teach at Kyoto University. During this period, I represented more than a hundred intellectual property cases. I think I am still qualified to speak in this regard.”

"To fall into the scope of protection of the Copyright Law, it must be proved that the so-called infringed written materials belong to 'works'. If these written materials do not belong to the scope of 'works' stipulated in the Copyright Law, then naturally they do not constitute infringement. From my From personal experience, the punctuation marks added to the sentence breaks in ancient Chinese texts in the proofreading of ancient books are really difficult to become "works" as stipulated in the Copyright Law."

"So lawyer Kitahara. On this matter, I still suggest that Mr. Shimokawa and Mr. Fujimura talk again. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between the two teachers, and it is not certain."

Utsunomiya directly expressed his attitude.

This attitude is naturally very important.

As the vice-chairman of the Oriental Intellectual Property Law Society, a famous professor.

An opinion of such a scholar will inevitably influence the judgment of the school to a large extent.

It can be said that it is almost a final decision.

In the face of absolute authority, even if you want to express your personal opinion anyway, it will be of no avail.

This is a confrontation that is too disparate in status.

Beiyuan sat in his seat and sneered softly, "Professor Utsunomiya, didn't you just say that this place should not be treated as a court? I remember that the purpose of this hearing is to solve the issue of academic discipline, not the issue of legal infringement. Utsu The copyright infringement issue that Professor Gong just discussed has nothing to do with the subject of this disciplinary hearing.”

"The main purpose of this disciplinary hearing should be whether Fujimura's behavior involves misconduct that violates the university's academic norms!" Suddenly, Beiyuan's voice rose a little.

Hearing the words of academic misconduct, Utsunomiya's eyes widened suddenly, and his fingers slightly bent.Utsunomiya's confidence in this disciplinary hearing is that this is the home court of Kyoto University.However, the facts of this hearing have one of the biggest disadvantages—that is, plagiarism in the sense of academic norms is stricter than plagiarism in the sense of copyright law.

Just now, Utsunomiya wanted to fish in troubled waters and secretly change the concept.

But seeing the young lawyer with a cautious smile, he took out a form from the desktop and raised his voice: "The form in my hand is the last year's academic achievement declaration form of the Humanities Graduate School of Kyoto University. It can be seen from the table that the academic achievements declared by 5 teachers of the Graduate School of Humanities last year included the item of ancient book review. It can be seen that the academic achievement evaluation in Kyoto University includes ancient book review. That is, ancient book review Belongs to recognized academic achievement."

"Therefore, the verification of ancient books should follow the internal academic citation norms of Peking University. Dean Fujimura directly extracted the verification results of Professor Shimokawa Jun's "Traveling in the East and Sending to Tang Dynasty" for his own use, and did not mention it in the whole book Refer to the proofreading results of Associate Professor Kawashita. Regardless of whether this behavior constitutes plagiarism in the sense of copyright law, there is no doubt that it constitutes plagiarism of academic achievements, which is already serious academic misconduct. Here, as the complainant, Kawashita The lawyer representing the teacher requests Kyoto University to severely punish Fujimura for his academic misconduct!"
