Chapter 1462: Hammer Industries Infringement Dispute
And what about Tony?

He has achieved his goal.

Seeing how Hammer Industries was in such a mess, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in his heart.

With his hands behind his back, there was an unconcealable look of pride on his face.

Outside the window, the dim lights of New York matched his mood, as if the whole world was cheering for his recent victory.

After this round of rectification, Hammer Industries will at least lose a huge amount of money. Watching the stock price of Hammer Industries plummet like a cliff, the shape of the arc reactor is not so easy to modify.

There was no way Tony would just let Justin Hammer stick a blueprint on the surface of the arc reactor and get away with it.

When Tony applied for a patent for the arc reactor's design, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He just wanted to prevent others from imitating it easily.

He never expected that this seemingly simple patent application would become the key weapon to defeat Hammer Industries.

The status and reputation of Stark Industries and Tony Stark himself, like an indestructible fortress, provide strong support for the upcoming infringement lawsuit.

Tony knew that once the lawsuit began, Hammer Industries would be dragged into a long and costly legal battle, which was undoubtedly an unbearable burden for Hammer Industries, which already had a tight capital chain.

The design rights of the arc reactor not only cover its unique appearance, but also involve the core element of its internal structure.

Tony closely combined the two at the beginning of the design, making any attempt to circumvent infringement by simply modifying the appearance impractical.

If Hammer Industries wants to continue using a similar design, it will have to make drastic changes to the arc reactor, which is almost equivalent to developing a new technology from scratch.

For such a high-tech energy technology, can you change its internal structure just like that?

Just change a little bit.

Eighty-five percent of the parts need to be modified because the arc reactor design is not an invalid decoration, but a key design feature of the product, which directly affects the product's appearance recognition and has a great impact on the product's function and appearance.

When Ivan Vanko heard Justin Hammer's request to change the shape and structure of the arc reactor, he was so angry that he laughed instead of getting angry.

"What do you think this is? A children's toy that you can mess around with?"

Ivan sneered, "This is a cold nuclear fusion reactor. Its structure is precise and complex, and every detail has been calculated and tested countless times. Changing the shape? More than 85% modification? It would be better to start over and develop a new cold nuclear fusion reactor. This will not only take time, but also require huge funds and team support. Do you think Hammer Industries still has the ability to do this now?"

In fact, even if Hammer Industries is willing to invest huge resources to develop new reactors, it still faces huge risks. After all, cold fusion technology itself is full of unknowns and challenges, and the slightest mistake may lead to a complete failure.

Chang Wei didn't expect that Tony would be so bold as to register the design rights of the arc reactor.

After all, in the original plot, he did nothing and allowed Hammer Industries to launch the Iron Soldier.

Or maybe the world he lives in has changed?
Anyway, Hammer Industries is now in an unprecedented predicament, as if an invisible hand is stuck at the throat of success, and every struggle is in vain.

Justin Hammer no longer had the smug smile he used to have on his face, replaced by endless anxiety and exhaustion. In his factory, the production line of steel soldiers was still busy, but those cold mechanical warriors seemed to be mocking him, reminding him how far he was from true success.

The military's interest in Iron Soldiers is undoubtedly the only hope for Hammer Industries at the moment.

Compared with the expensive and long-cycle power armor of Ares Industries, although the Iron Soldier is lacking in actual combat effectiveness, its rapid production capacity and relatively low cost make it the "king of cost-effectiveness" in the eyes of the military.

Although Iron Soldiers are far from comparable to Power Armor in terms of actual combat performance, they are numerous enough to form an advantage of scale, which is undoubtedly a huge advantage for performing certain specific tasks.

Especially in the context of the current turbulent international situation, a large-scale mechanized force that can be deployed quickly is of immeasurable value in maintaining national security and stability.

Senior military officials, especially generals who are eager to have more say on the battlefield, are increasingly interested in steel soldiers.

They began to discuss privately whether it was possible to cooperate with Hammer Industries to secretly build a special forces team equipped with steel soldiers to deal with the increasingly complex international situation and potential security threats.

After all, in this era of uncertainty, having a secret force that can respond quickly and execute efficiently is undoubtedly a huge asset for safeguarding national interests.

However, the road to cooperation between Hammer Industries and the military was not smooth.

Tony Stark, the genius and arrogant head of Stark Industries, has zero tolerance for any attempt to challenge his technological authority.

But the military doesn't care about that.

What they value is the practicality and quick response ability of the Iron Soldier.

In the view of the Hogwarts Admiral, Tony Stark's obstruction was just a minor matter and not enough to affect the overall situation.

After all, America is a country where private ownership is prevalent. Although the military is powerful, it still needs to take into account the interests of big capitalists in some aspects.

It doesn’t matter if we can’t see the light of day, wouldn’t it be better to build a secret operations force?

I can't just give up because Tony Stark stops me. That's impossible.

Justin Hammer had no choice. When Admiral Hogwarts appeared at the headquarters of Hammer Industries with the President's handwritten authorization document, Justin Hammer seemed to see the last straw in his life.

He received the military representative nervously but excitedly, praying secretly in his heart that this cooperation would be the key to his turnaround.

"This time I am on a special mission. This is an order issued by the President himself. This is a document signed by the President."

The Hogwarts Admiral solemnly handed the envelope to Justin Hammer.

Justin Hammer opened the envelope carefully with trembling hands and read the crucial document carefully.

However, to his disappointment, the document did not mention any specific content of the mission except authorizing Hogwarts LM to be fully responsible for the mission.
