Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

He gained stronger power, but also a curse. Now, your appearance has broken the curse. Without the curse's restraint, it is normal for his power to increase significantly."

"Is that so? No wonder it has been passed down for a hundred generations. This curse from a divine object is really not so easy to remove."

"You should keep this Heart of God well! It may be of great use in the future."

......

Lin Zixuan paid the money with a painful feeling. The information fee was really expensive.

Fortunately, I got a method of compressing elemental power from the emperor. My biggest advantage is the elemental power in my body, which is like an external plug-in. I still need to study how to compress it.

There are many things that can be created from the lightning element. I still need to spend some time to study and adjust it to see how to integrate it into my own combat system.

For three consecutive months, many people in Liyue were involved in various innovations. People became very interested in self-development, which led to the creation of many strange items in Liyue.

For example, the most popular four-wheeled bicycle has two single-wheeled passenger buckets on the left and right sides of the rear seat. It is faster than a tricycle and is good for carrying people and goods. In fact, it is just a basket on both sides of the bicycle with two more wheels as support points. Although it is a strange sight in my eyes, it is also a good solution.

There are also businesses that have developed clocks that automatically ring every hour and tell time. You really can't underestimate them.

Lin Zixuan saw this scene, and thought it was indeed a good start. But at the same time, hidden dangers would slowly emerge. That is: "plagiarism"!

They invest a lot of energy and money into research and development, but before they can make any money, their products are copied and imitated by big businesses.

If this continues for a long time, without some protective measures, this trend of self-development will not last long, and everyone will just lay down. Why spend so much energy? Wait for others to make it, and then copy it.

Driven by interests, such things are bound to happen, and the consequence is likely to be the loss of talent.

Xumi has a very good academic atmosphere. If Liyue cannot protect the interests of these inventors, then they might as well go to Xumi to develop. Recalling how a certain country on Blue Star gathered a large number of talents, I have to take a good look at it.

On the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Hiss...it seems like there are a lot more valuable items. Could it be that I made too much money?

Ningguang, who was sitting in the main seat, was reviewing official documents, and her strength had also improved a lot. Seeing Lin Zixuan coming, she sighed directly. This guy had been missing for three months and could not be found.

"Tell me, there is no such thing as a visit without a reason. What big thing do you need to do?"

"You still understand me. This matter needs to be carefully considered. It is more about legal policies, and it is not a trivial matter."

"Oh? We've closed a lot of legal loopholes recently. Is there anything else we need to do?"

“If a policy on protecting creators can be implemented, more geniuses will emerge in Liyue.”

"It seems that this law has always existed."

"Well, there is, but it lacks some key content. The protection for inventors is too weak. This is the patent law that I want Liyue to implement. Let more smart people participate."

"Patent Act? Is it talking about technology?"

"Smart, mainly to allow the inventor to have a certain number of years of patent rights, such as this clock that can tell time. If I were a private inventor, I would plan to sell these clocks.

However, on the third day after it was sold, it was cracked by a large trading company. They then used their resource advantages to directly copy it in large quantities and sell it at low prices. What a blow would that be to the private inventor?

So how can the inventor prove that he invented this thing first? "

"Indeed, Liyue's laws offer almost no protection for such inventors."

“Once the inventor has the patent, he can license the technology or share the profits, and ask big commercial banks to provide financial subsidies and other operations.

With the protection of the law, these talented inventors will not be unable to resist when their inventions are plagiarized. This may even lead to these talented inventors becoming extremely disappointed with Liyue, or even starving to death in serious cases.

If they treasure technology, then others will research different ways to achieve it. For example, this time-telling clock, Mingyun Town has at least three different ways to achieve this time-telling effect. "

"So, this kind of time-limited patent can give people motivation to continue to deepen their research?"

"Yes, many inventions are successfully applied because of the protection of the Patent Act. Normally, there are two types: the first is the invention and utility model that are granted patent rights, which should be novel, creative and practical. The second is the appearance design that is granted patent rights, which should be novel, distinctive and not conflict with the prior legal rights of others.

Different time limits can be set for different technologies. The term of an invention patent is 30 years, the term of a utility model patent is 20 years, and the term of a design patent is 15 years.

But at the same time, there is another technology that belongs to Liyue's core technology. This technology requires special management. At present, Liyue's core technology is the Immortal Talisman Application Technology.

Once this kind of immortal talisman genius appears, we must control it in Liyue's hands by any means. Even the literature on immortal talismans is an important asset of Liyue. We will arrange for personnel to retrieve these materials, and we will not rule out the use of special means. The foundation of Liyue's future strength cannot be undermined by others."

"I think this matter needs to be carefully considered. It's not that easy to do."

"Also, there is one more thing: I noticed that there seem to be some Xumi scholars scattered all over Liyue? Conducting various kinds of research in Liyue?"

"Well, I have also met many scholars from Xumi. Is there anything wrong?"

"We have explored Liyue in the name of academic exchange. So? Did we get these academic papers?"

Ningguang frowned, as if Liyue had never received these scholars' papers and had no idea what they were about. It seemed that those who went to Xumi to study had never seen these materials.

"I think it's a bit inappropriate for these people who seem to be just doing academic work to wander around in Liyue. You should first inform Xumi. If they are unwilling to produce these papers, then we can only become bad guys.

For example, in the oscillating crystals of the Layered Abyss, the application of the ringing oscillating crystals and the response oscillating crystals. We in Mingyun Town are also studying it and have made some progress. The dividends of this technology can bring huge wealth to Liyue.

If some scholars from Xumi come up with something new in the future, and then purchase these two crystals from Liyue, maybe the Seven Stars of Liyue will foolishly sell these Xiangzhen Crystals and Yingzhen Crystals at 10 Mora per ton. You laugh at others for being stupid and wanting all that garbage, and they laugh at you for being an academic idiot who doesn't understand the value of these crystals at all."

"Okay, I get it. I'm not an idiot. I've also studied the knowledge of Mingyun Town! I really don't know what's going on in your world. It's even scarier than the Alchemy Association. You can even make a simple piece of ore into something special."

"In short, we still need to think about it carefully. This is a big deal. I can only give you a rough idea. The details still need to be studied."

“Sometimes I really don’t want to see you. Every time I see you you give me a bunch of tasks.” Ningguang complained.

Chapter 54 Crazy Knowledge

In early October, a new piece of news once again swept across Liyue, and people looked at this new policy in amazement.

This complete version of the new legal document is nearly 5 centimeters thick. Lawyers like Yan Fei, the lawless criminal, will have to stay up late to memorize the law again.

Liyue's major newspapers also invited a large number of legal professionals to interpret this new policy.

"This patent policy is quite interesting."

"If my patent application is approved, I can reap the benefits for more than 10 years!"

"Patents cannot be sold, but the right to use them can be transferred. You can also cooperate with large chambers of commerce and participate in the after-sales profit sharing. If your patent is adopted by Xuanyuan Trading Company, how much money will you get?"

"Registered patents cannot be used commercially without the permission of the patent owner. If you are caught, you will not only be fined, but also go to jail."

"So that means you can use it yourself, but you can't sell it for money?"

"My master seems to have a unique dye formula, and we are always worried that it will be stolen. With this law, even if someone steals it, they can't use it. Generally, patents can reap dividends for 20 years, so I feel much more at ease now."

“After 20 years, we still have to share it.”

"Didn't you see the renewal fee? The maximum renewal period is 50 years!"

"It's still 50 years. Look at the renewal price after 20 years. For the first 20 years, you only need to pay 1 Mora per year. If you want to renew after 20 years, the price will increase by dozens or even hundreds of times, and it will get higher every year."

“If some businesses that hold ancient recipes do not register for patents, what will happen if the recipes are registered by others?”

Some of the business people in the crowd shuddered. This was an open conspiracy. An open conspiracy to eat up all the secret recipes of Liyue in one fell swoop.

"I think things are going to change. If Xuanyuan Trading Company's bearing technology is patented, won't our current trading company have to pay an extra fee?"

"You are wrong, you are wrong. You copied this bearing and sold it for money, so you must pay the patent fee. If you don't pay, you will be fined and go to jail! The bearings you bought from Xuanyuan Trading Company are not included."

"Oh, I see. This is to prevent copycats and plagiarism."

"Yes, that's what the General Affairs Department means. Provide protection for inventors and punish plagiarists."

"Is this going to force those big companies to recruit talents to conduct their own research? If a company does not have its own research technology, the patent fees it has to pay to foreign companies would be astronomical. The profits of the company would be extremely low."

"There is also a policy against companies that use their talents to get rid of them. It specifically targets those who join the company, develop new patents, and are immediately kicked out by the company. This punishment, wow, is a direct result of the hypnotic application process."

"There are also special technologies that are Liyue's military secrets. They will be tried in a military court, and those involved will be sentenced to life imprisonment at the minimum."

"Things are changing in Liyue! Now, the era where knowledge is wealth has arrived!"

......

People in Liyue Harbor all started talking about the matter, and only some century-old shops looked unhappy, as their secret recipes were their lifeblood.

Once your secret recipe is successfully registered by someone else, you have to pay them to use it. It is impossible to do such business.

However, after a few days, everyone found that many people's patent applications were rejected, and only a few people's patent applications were still ongoing.

The General Affairs Department also posted a new notice: Patent applications must have: novelty, creativity, and practicality.

Don’t apply for formulas that everyone knows, like red + yellow = orange.

The General Affairs Department stipulates that when an inventor files a patent application, he must submit:

(1) Description: It should include the title of the invention, a description of the invention, a description of the manner and method of making and using the invention, and the best way the inventor believes to implement his invention. It must be disclosed truthfully and to an extent sufficient to enable a person with ordinary professional skills to implement the invention.

For example, for a clock that can tell time, the time-telling device in it can be patented, and subsequent inventions of the time-telling device will also have many variations.

(2) Drawings: You must have complete drawings and samples. The General Affairs Department will confirm the authenticity of the drawings and samples.

(3) Affidavit or declaration: You need to swear in front of the statue of the emperor that your patent is not plagiarized. You also need to submit a paper declaration with your handprint.

In addition, the applicant must clearly and specifically state in the description the scope of the patent protection for which he seeks.

......

People then realized that applying for a patent is not such a simple matter at all.

It was not until mid-October that a new piece of news was published in the newspaper: a spring alarm clock sold by a newly established watch company in recent years, which uses a time-telling device, had its application for a utility model patent approved yesterday.

Other businesses were shocked, as this meant that clockwork alarm clocks with similar structures could no longer be produced unless they paid a patent royalty to the watch business.

This fee, after conversion, means that about 2-5% of the profit will be given away for free, unless you develop your own product and bypass this patent.

The eyes of some business owners turned into lemon shapes. This was not a small amount of money. An ordinary clockwork alarm clock cost about 4000 Moras, and they had to pay 100 Moras to this business for no reason.

As long as the style sells well and is exported to various countries, if 200 million are sold, this business can directly get 2 million Mora, which is like pie falling from the sky, and making a huge fortune without doing anything.

Some geniuses in Liyue heard the news and started a new round of patent applications. The role of taking the lead in trying new things is huge. The General Affairs Department now receives many new applications every day.

Inside the teahouse in Liyue Harbor.

"I always feel that things are not that simple! I have a feeling that something big is going to happen."

"Everyone knows that something big is about to happen. There is a place in Liyue with the most technology."

"It's just the Mingyun Town Research Institute of Xuanyuan Trading Company. Take a look at the Liyue History Museum. There is a large exhibition hall full of people from Mingyun Town. I also want to be written into history while I am still alive!"

"Guess how many patents Xuanyuan Trading Company has?"

"There must be hundreds."

"I think it's more than that, at least thousands."

"Now he has Tianquanxing Ningguang to help him. I think this patent law was made for him."

"Don't be jealous. Their self-developed products have gone through thousands of tests. If there were no patent law, they would be copied directly by others. Would you be willing to do that?"

"Of course I don't want to. Come to think of it, wasn't there someone who jumped into the river a few years ago?"

"That's really tragic."

"What are you talking about?"

"It happened a few years ago! When the termites were still around, a young man invented a new type of paper. The new formula was much lower in cost and the price was much cheaper. Unfortunately, after only five days of selling it, the formula was discovered by the termite company through some special means.

Then it became a situation where the young people were unable to compete with the big commercial banks, and were instead falsely accused by the big commercial banks, and were unable to produce any evidence to prove that they had developed this new type of paper.

Finally, he chose to jump into the river and commit suicide. Although he was rescued, his whole family has now immigrated to Fontaine."

"No wonder the patent law was enacted. If that young man had applied for a patent, he would probably have been collecting money without doing anything in the future, instead of having to leave his hometown like he is now."

"It's such a pity for that young man. His engagement was even broken off. I wonder if he will ever come back to Liyue."

"He might really come back. All the major trading companies are now poaching people, especially talented people. The General Affairs Department also specifically pointed out that if there is no one in China, they should look for people abroad. Liyue is making a big move this time, allowing the trading companies to take advantage of their financial resources and allowing Liyue to gather a large number of talents."

"It's not that easy to invent something. Thousands of experiments would cost a huge amount of money. If it fails, it would be a heavy blow to the business."

"Our Rouge Company has only come up with three new rouge formulas in the past ten years. It's not that easy to develop your own."

.......

On the Qun Yu Pavilion.

"It seems like the hype has almost died down!" Lin Zixuan looked at the information provided by Ningguang.

“The people in Liyue Harbor are all waiting for our Xuanyuan Trading Company’s action!” Ningguang looked at the thick stack of patent certificates on the table. She never expected that the Mingyun Town patents were only a small part of them.

"These patents will stimulate the creation of more businesses in Liyue, and we just need to sit back and collect the money. We charge them once for selling alloy iron ingots, and then we charge them again when they create products containing our patents. One iron ingot equals two payments."

"I never thought before that pure knowledge could be measured in value."

"Many common technologies will be gradually made public to allow more people to participate. Mingyun Town is currently too bloated and will be slowly reorganized. In the future, it will be based on fairy talisman technology and other special technologies.

Look at Fu Bo's Liyue 356A Gin Edition, which uses hundreds of technologies and has thousands of parts. We make all these things, and it seems that we can make a lot of money, but this is not conducive to the future development of Liyue.
