Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian vowed that he would never let other companies threaten his company like this again.But he soon discovered that this oath is not so easy to fulfill, the specific matter, it depends on a few days ago...

Apple withdrew its lawsuit against ams, and even the "Wall Street Journal", which has a good relationship with Apple, came out to declare that the two companies are the second most creative companies, they understand each other very well, and they are not willing to Let each other go to court.This loving attitude was really reported and exaggerated by the media.For this kind of thing, it was because Lao Qiao stepped down to save face for himself, and Jia Hongjian didn't have time to deal with these things, because he was thinking about strengthening his company's strength, so he didn't care about it. It's up to Jobs and the others to do that.

After the media couldn't dig out any information, they could only write articles according to Apple's public relations draft.So, for a while, articles about the friendship between ams and Apple were really spread all over the United States.By the way, some of the orders that ams company disappeared slowly came back. The media in the market no longer criticize ams and the like.

But just when everything seemed to be going to normal, suddenly, the reality gave Jia Hongjian a small surprise—another company wanted to sue ams!At that time, Jia Hongjian was discussing with the old man Olsen whether to accept the compensation offer from the law firm.While discussing and discussing, I suddenly saw Aunt Anna walking in quickly, "Ken. We have received another letter from the court, and someone is suing us again!"

At that time, Jia Hongjian was shocked!What's the matter with this shit? Why did another company come here?This ams is in the United States, there are not so many enemies!Although Jia Hongjian is really arrogant and high-profile, he is not stupid. He only provokes one heavyweight enemy at a time, okay?When Apple and ams were enemies, how could there be another enemy without Jia Hongjian's knowledge?

Olsen was also surprised at this time, "Really? Show me!" Aunt Anna quickly handed over the large envelope from the court to Olsen, and Jia Hongjian raised Olson's hand to look at it. envelope.Sure enough, the envelope was mailed from the court, and it also said it was addressed to ams.Tear open the envelope and take a look.I saw a stack of documents inside.Presumably it should be a copy of the plaintiff's indictment, and this copy was sent to write a statement of defense for them, the defendant?

As soon as they saw the copy of the indictment, Olsen and Jia Hongjian looked at each other in blank dismay. It was obvious that their expressions were a little serious. "Anna, go and call Anderson and the others over!" Olsen said in a powerful voice.then.Watching Aunt Anna leave quickly.Then Olsen took out his reading glasses and began to read the indictment in detail with Jia Hongjian.

Jia Hongjian and old man Olsen took a closer look, only seeing the very beginning of the indictment.It is the name of the plaintiff and the defendant, and the defendant is naturally "ussystems", a small technology company that has never heard of the name. This technology company stated that they developed the 2.4ghz wireless transmission technology a few years ago, and now ams The company's products were developed after them, which infringed their patents! So they need the court to issue an injunction to ban ussystems?" Jia Hongjian read the company's name, thinking that he had never heard of it, " Old man, have you heard of this company?" "No..." The old man shook his head and said.At this moment, Anderson and others hurried in, "What's wrong? We were sued again? Why are there so many things! What company is this time?" "It's called ussystems..." Anderson and others After thinking about it, he said in surprise, "I've never heard of this company's name. An unknown company shouldn't have any patents?"

"Could it be...they are patent extortion?" Someone said suddenly. "Maybe, come on, let's assign work, Anderson, take someone to look at the technical points in the indictment to see if we have infringed the patent. I'll call here to find out what this cygnussystems is about!" After finishing, The old men in the office got busy one by one.Someone here started to consult technical documents, and someone over there kept making phone calls.

After more than an hour, everyone here was almost done, and the old man gathered everyone together for a meeting again. "Anderson, what is the result of your research?" "We have researched and found that they are basically marginal patents. It is impossible to say that we have completely infringed their patents, but it is estimated that we will go to court to fight with each other." We won a few times..." old man Anderson said.

"What? Are blackmailers like them easy to defeat?" Jia Hongjian asked curiously.He has just experienced the threat of Apple before, and now he is still a little worried when he sees the scammers from such a small company.Then I heard Olson say, "Basically, there is no problem. Even the courts know that there are such patent extortionists. Originally, this patent law was to protect innovation, but now it has become The change of direction has hindered innovation. Whoever innovates, someone will come out and claim that he invented it in advance, and then ask for money. There are many such things, and the judicial circle has also paid attention to it, so now it is difficult for such small companies to sue the court. Support. On the other hand, the people in these small companies are inferior to our professionals in all aspects. The writing of technical documents and other things is not up to our level, so the court can easily see the difference ...Finally, companies like ours will always have lawyers, and the lawyers just take their time to file a lawsuit with them."

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian felt a little taste, "Emotions, they are just little guys, don't you need to deal with them seriously?" Are the flies a threat?" Old man Olsen said with a relieved smile.Hearing this, Jia Hongjian also breathed a sigh of relief, the feelings turned out to be a false alarm, "However, why hasn't our Sherlock Holmes company encountered such a thing?"

"That's because when your Sherlock Holmes company started, the Internet industry was just getting started. No one except you thought of too many things, and few people even knew what the Internet was. Can you expect them to research something suitable? But if your company only started to do search and online purchases this year, you can look again? The three years from 94, 95 to 98 are definitely enough for many people to fantasize about your company's services, and then your company There are so many lawsuits!" Old Man Olsen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian finally understood the reason!The relationship is because Ye Jing was in a hurry to get it, so it was developed when many people didn't know about the Internet, so not many people studied this thing before, so there was no chance of suing for extortion?Thinking about it, in 96, the number of Internet users in the United States reached 1000 million. In 94 and 95, it is estimated that they only had 300 million Internet users?If the proportion of this population continues to decline, the chances of "genius ideas" appearing are obviously much smaller.

Is this really good luck for Holmes Corporation?Now that Jia Hongjian thinks about it, he remembers that in his previous life, Google was always in litigation, presumably because it started relatively late, so the network technology was "popularized", and then he had to face all kinds of claims that he invented something before himself. People with this kind of technology come up to blackmail?Google is really a tragedy... But speaking of it, why hasn't the US patent law been revised?It's not good for big companies if you do it like this, because there are always a bunch of flies flying around, blackmailing and so on.This got to the end, although big companies will not lose money, but they always have to hire good lawyers?So in the end, lawyers are the happiest because they have jobs all year round?

In other words, is it because of lawyers that the patent law has not been revised yet?Jia Hongjian felt that he could feel the problems, and the big companies in the United States would certainly not be able to feel them.However, those things that big companies have failed to do are probably because there are too many interest disputes behind them.After all, if a company asks someone to propose changes, it is estimated that lawyers all over the United States will rise up to oppose it. The power of this group of vested interests should not be underestimated! (To be continued..)
