Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 312 Attack on Beiyuan

The lights in the courtroom dimmed a bit.The door of the courtroom was also tightly closed without revealing a single gap.The light beam of the small projector hit the whiteboard on the other side of the plaintiff's seat, and a huge table appeared for comparison.At the same time, there are various pie charts on the side of the table, showing the comparison results of different data.

The university management in the auditorium all looked at the young male lawyer standing next to the whiteboard.The eyes of many of them are unfriendly.After all, this lawyer has a history of extorting large listed companies before.Right now, it represents an associate professor who is about to be expelled from the university to accuse him of so-called plagiarism.

Utsunomiya also looked at the male lawyer in front of him with contempt.The main thing in checking and correcting ancient books is the punctuation marks. He didn't believe that Beiyuan could make any fuss in proving the similarity between the two books.Thinking of this, Utsunomiya sat on the dock more calmly, crossing his legs.

Feeling the unfriendly eyes in the arena, Beiyuan smiled slightly.

Those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens.

Attack what others do not defend.

Beiyuan straightened his body slightly, and said: "The plaintiff now presents the third set of evidence. The first piece of evidence is the notarization certificate No. A986631 of the Kyoto Prefecture Mitsumasa Notary Office, which shows that the plaintiff, under the witness of the staff of the notary office, obtained the Department, purchased the infringing work "Eastern Land Parade and Repatriation to Tang Ji"."

"The second piece of evidence is a comparative analysis report on the purchased "Dongtu Tour and Repatriation to the Tang Dynasty" and the third draft of the proofreading extracted from the plaintiff Xiachuan's laptop. The comparative analysis report listed two proofreading works in detail of similarities.

Beiyuan deliberately paused for a moment, and then grinned slightly, "Now the plaintiff has provided evidence that the two proofreading works constitute the first plagiarism that is substantially similar - plagiarism for style!"

Style plagiarism! ?Utsunomiya sat on his seat, his eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately looked at the projector in front of him.The first development right now seems to be a bit different from what he expected.

To be honest, Utsunomiya has not read the third draft of Shimokawa's so-called proofreading.His understanding of the content of the work of proofreading ancient prose comes from Fujimura's narrative.According to him, the biggest workload in the proofreading of ancient prose is punctuation and sentence segmentation.However, what happened to the style plagiarism that suddenly appeared in front of me? !
Beiyuan looked at Judge Takanashi on the stage, "Chief Judge. The proofreading work in this case is not just a proofreading of the Records of Sending Tang Tang. The whole work also includes the preface, the biography of Guan Gu Xunguang, the envoy to the Tang Dynasty, the preface and postscript of the old episodes, and the anecdotes of Guan Gu. Rumors, including 11 anecdotes and rumors, appendixes include a brief biography of Guan Gu, poems and essays donated by Tang official Wang Luyi, words of thanks, and Guan Gu’s experience of visiting the ancient sites in the East.”

"The plaintiff, Xiachuan, not only reviewed the Ji Tang Ji, but also sorted out Guan Gu's anthology, and collected his lost articles and poems. The plaintiff also went to various places to investigate and found the local archives and natural history. The notes of Guan Gu. Among them , Shimogawa collected a total of 36 articles that had been identified as lost before, 17 poems, 11 anecdotes and rumors, and 8 other miscellaneous notes. The plaintiff Xiachuan carefully selected and arranged the contents collected above. "

"On the other hand, the Ji Tang Ji published by the defendant Fujimura." Kitahara suddenly raised his voice, "The proofreading works published by him contain the above content exactly, that is, 36 lost essays, 17 poems, anecdotes and rumors. 11 articles and 8 other miscellaneous notes."

"Not only are the recorded articles all the same, but even the order of arrangement is exactly the same!" Bei Yuan pressed the button of the remote control in his hand.

In an instant, the projection whiteboard suddenly showed the proofreading of the two volumes of "Traveling in the East and Sending Tang Ji".

But I saw that the catalogs of the two ancient books were compared with each other, and they were almost the same.

It's just that Fujimura's "Eastern Land Tour and Repatriation to Tang Ji" published by Fujimura has an extra postscript.

The rest of the arrangement sequence is exactly the same as that of the table of contents of Xiachuan Ancient Books.

Under the comparison chart, the same order of arrangement immediately made the content of Fujimura's proofreading work extremely dazzling.

This catalog comparison picture is like picking up an iron rod and slapping the university management in the dock directly and fiercely.Just now, the university administrators who were still secretly teasing Beiyuan for extorting lawyers suddenly turned livid, and the brows of some people could not help but tremble.

Utsunomiya stared at the nearly identical catalog in front of him, and was taken aback for a moment.After reacting, the anger towards Fujimura suddenly ignited in his heart.This Fujimura, damn it!How even the order of a directory will be adjusted! !Is it mentally handicapped? !
Utsunomiya was misled by Fujimura when he was reading the "Eastern Land Parade and Repatriation to Tang Ji" before.He also specifically asked how these supplementary materials outside the main text came from.Fujimura told him that these materials have been sorted out long ago, and there are ready-made ones, but they are just put in like that.However, according to what Kitahara said just now, these are all articles and poems that were lost before, which were rediscovered by Shimokawa after field inspection of the archives, and they were arranged in a certain order.

Now there is trouble.

Utsunomiya knows that according to the provisions of the Copyright Law, under certain conditions, compilation works may constitute legally protected works.

If, in case, it is deemed to constitute a compilation work, it will be bad.

Utsunomiya stood up immediately, and said, "Chief referee, the order of contents claimed by the plaintiff just now is not appropriate for constituting a substantively similar point of view. These compiled anthologies and poems are all ancient articles. Regarding the arrangement of ancient articles The sequence does not constitute an original expression, and is not the object of protection of the Copyright Law, so it should not be included in the scope of constituting substantial similarity."

Bei Yuan sneered, "Defendant's agent. Now it is the stage of court investigation. It is investigating the facts, not issuing legal opinions. Whether the order of compilation is the protection object of the copyright law is a legal issue, not a factual issue. Excuse me. Does the defendant's attorney have any objections to the fact that the order of the catalog itself is identical!"

Utsunomiya was choked by this sudden rhetorical question, he just opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word to refute the young male lawyer.

Yes, he was dumb.

A famous professor who is an authority on oriental intellectual property law was questioned by a young lawyer who just graduated in a copyright case.

Utsunomiya was angry and annoyed for a while, but he couldn't get angry because he happened to be in court.The judges on the stage are his own students, and there are many people inside and outside the school, as well as media reporters.

This Fujimura!It's really going to be troublesome!

Beiyuan looked at the law professor and took a step forward, pressing the remote control in his hand.The power was about to faintly overwhelm Utsunomiya's aura, "The method of proof just now is plagiarism. It is only the first item of substantive similarity between the two proofreading works. Next, the plaintiff continues to produce evidence..."
