Chapter 206 Tit for Tat in the Trial
Chapter 206 Tit for Tat in the Trial
Reporters from other media wanted to interview Mu Yang, but it was almost time for the court session, and Mu Yang refused:
"Everyone, the court will be held in ten minutes. Please respect the judges and staff who are waiting inside. If you want to interview, wait until Xinghai Group wins the lawsuit, and you will naturally have enough interviews."
The media reporters can also understand, and don't continue to ask questions. The scene just now has made everyone addicted, and there is already a topic to write about.
And at this time Mu Yang was on fire, so he had to be more cautious when asking him questions, otherwise he might run away in embarrassment like the XX female reporter just now.
Mu Yang and others came to the venue for the trial. Due to the complexity of the case, the judge only arranged one trial.
They have prepared and backed up the materials to be used in court in advance, which mainly include identification materials and original evidence.
After entering the court, the staff will verify their identities, remind them of relevant precautions, and sit in the corresponding seats as required.
Mu Yang was sitting in the dock, next to him were Luo Xiang and Zheng Li, and the rest of them were sitting in the spectator seats.
The general process of a court session is like this: verify the identity of the parties → court investigation (statement, evidence, cross-examination) → court debate → final statement → mediation → announce an adjournment.
There are basically very few sentences pronounced in court, and the results are generally released after a period of time after the court session.
Of course, unless one party admits defeat on the spot, the result can also be announced on the spot.
At this time, the plaintiff had already sat down, but Mu Yang and the others were a little slower, mainly because they were delayed by the reporters.
In this trial, there are a total of three judges (one presiding judge, two judges), one clerk, judge assistants, jurors, technical investigators, etc. The court also invited two experts in the laser industry as jurors , to participate in the trial of the case.
This case is relatively important, so there are three judges, and the presiding judge sits between the two judges.
The presiding judge is a judge in his fifties, and the other two judges are also in their forties. They attach great importance to this trial.
Moreover, this is a lawsuit that has attracted the attention of many media, so it must be treated with caution. If it is not handled properly, it will cause international disputes.
When the time is up, a judge will roughly read out the opening of the court, and then face the plaintiff:
"The plaintiff will read your complaint."
IGP's attorney picked up a piece of paper and read directly: "On October 10, 2009, Mu Yang, chairman of the plaintiff Xinghai Group, purchased five 1000W fiber lasers from IGP Shencheng Company for the first time to assemble handheld laser welding;
On November 10, 2009, the plaintiff Xinghai Group and IGP Shencheng reached cooperation to purchase 500 sets of 1000W fiber lasers.
On December 20, 2009, the plaintiff Xinghai Group terminated the purchase of IGP lasers.
On March 5, 2010, our sales staff discovered that the lasers built into the hand-held laser welding equipment sold by Xinghai Group were no longer IGP lasers, but lasers independently produced by Xinghai Group.
We believe that Xinghai Group used the reputation of IGP lasers in the industry to sell its own hand-held laser welding equipment, and then established its own laser brand by stealing the beams, making customers misunderstand that the lasers they bought were IGP lasers.
Moreover, Xinghai Group has not obtained IGP's 1000W fiber laser technology authorization, and directly imitated IGP's laser, which has caused patent infringement.
At the same time, the defendant Xinghai Group, as a competitor in the same industry, not only did not take the initiative to avoid our well-known product structure, but copied it comprehensively, which caused market confusion, violated honesty and credit, and seriously damaged our interests.
I request the Wanggui Court to rule that Xinghai Group immediately stop the infringement, destroy the infringing products and compensate for the loss of 618 million yuan. "
After listening to the complaint, the on-site observers couldn't help but take a breath, 618 million yuan, from the plaintiff's mouth, if the Xinghai Group really loses, it will be really traumatic.
If it is an ordinary company, it will be closed down directly.
Fortunately, the current Xinghai Group is large.
After the plaintiff finished reading, the judge asked the dock: "Defendant, what's your opinion?"
This question, Mu Yang, as the handler, is the most suitable answer for him.
Mu Yang smiled, and said without much hesitation: "I think the opinion is big. It is true that I purchased lasers from IGP, but there is no agreement that prohibits our company from developing lasers.
For my own products, what brand of spare parts are used to assemble my products, this IGP does not care.
You are hegemonic. As long as you have used your products, you are not allowed to use other products. This has violated the "Monopoly Law". I think, Your Honor, this kind of punishment for this kind of company.
As for your claim that our Xinghai Group imitated IGP's lasers, I don't even bother to do such a thing. If there is, please show evidence. If not, then you are slandering our Xinghai Group and compensating us for the loss of reputation. I think it was brought up before. 100 million yuan for reputation damage seems a bit low. "
At the beginning of the statement, Mu Yang fought back sharply.
He knew that it was the oppression in the early stage, which made the other party mentally collapsed or dizzy, and the language was incoherent, and eventually made mistakes.
The attorney representing IGP asked again: "I heard that the XH-W1000 laser currently on the market was invented by Mr. Mu Yang, so I would like to ask Mr. Mu Yang, as a sophomore student, how many invention patents have you authorized? The world's most advanced laser."
Mu Yang replied calmly: "Your logic is not valid, even if I have not had an invention patent before, it does not mean that I will not invent advanced lasers, so can't my first invention be a laser?
The judge tried the homicide case, so he had killed someone, so couldn't he try the homicide case?
I think it's better for you to clarify your thoughts and ask me again, so as not to embarrass yourself. "
Mu Yang's illogical question made the three judges laugh, but they stopped quickly.
However, the on-site observers, including media reporters, laughed regardless of their image.
The originally serious and solemn courtroom has become a laughing venue.
"quiet!"
The presiding judge tapped the cutting board, "Please continue the trial!"
The attorney was immediately stopped by the question, and one question directly suppressed his momentum.
IGP's attorney is still unrelenting: "The defendant, please answer my question directly, yes or no?"
Mu Yang also ignored his question: "Whether there is or not, it has nothing to do with whether I can invent lasers. Your logic is not valid. Do I have to learn to drive a motorcycle before I learn to drive a car? Can't I skip this stage?"
"Defendant, please look directly at this question, yes or no?" IGP's attorney continued to ask.
Because the attorney knew that Mu Yang hadn't authorized the invention patent yet, so it wasn't enough in terms of time.
If Mu Yang answered no truthfully, then the acting lawyer won the first stage, in terms of momentum.
This kind of gameplay, sometimes the judge is too late to stop this kind of problem.
However, Mu Yang just smiled lightly and didn't answer any more.
The judge who asked the question just now said: "Wait a minute, the plaintiff's attorney, there is indeed a problem with the logic of your question. Please provide evidence. In what aspect do you think Xinghai Group imitated IGP's laser?"
It is most appropriate for Lu Yiming, the technical director of IGP, to answer this question.
Lu Yiming signaled to his attorney that he also wanted him to calm down, which lost his momentum at the beginning.
The materials submitted before the trial, Lu Yiming opened the files, and the plaintiff and defendant, as well as the technical officer and jurors, could see the evidence materials at the same time.
Lu Yiming said: "The first point is that Xinghai Group has been engaged in the laser industry for a very short time. According to my investigation, their R&D team has only 30 people, and their R&D level is insufficient. It is impossible for them to be able to develop world-advanced Lasers, this is a big suspect.
The second point, as our attorney said, there are internal rumors in Xinghai, and even the latest official website of Xinghai Group shows that the handheld laser welding equipment and lasers of Xinghai Group are all invented by Mu Yang. Although I admire Mr. Mu, But I also said bluntly that with the ability of Mr. Mu's sophomore, it is impossible to be able to develop a world-class laser. This is also a big doubt.
The third point is that we purchased the handheld laser welding equipment of Xinghai Group, disassembled and disassembled the laser, and then compared it with our laser, and found that there are many similarities. Please look at the screen. This list is listed by our IGP. Out of similarities. "
Mu Yang also looked at the list of similarities made by Lu Yiming, but after reading it, he smiled: "This Lu Yiming from IGP, Mr. Lu, you should be very familiar with lasers, right?"
"Of course, I have been engaged in laser for more than ten years, so I must be familiar with the research and development of lasers." Lu Yiming is very sure.
"Then let me ask you, do you know what Brillouin-Raman distribution is? Do you know what a pure quartic soliton is? Do you know... Can you answer these five laser questions?" Mu Yang asked very profound questions, even if he was an expert, he might not be able to answer all the five questions he asked.
Not to mention, Lu Yiming was half a bucket of water level.
At this time, even the translators didn't know how to translate Mu Yang's words.
Lu Yiming asked back: "The question you asked is not directly related to this case. Do you really understand it at your level?"
Mu Yang solemnly replied: "Sorry, I really understand, but I don't want to tell you, you won't understand even if I tell you.
Your Honor asked you to present evidence, not doubts. I also doubt you. The arsonist who happened in the imperial capital a while ago is very likely to be you, because you happen to be in the imperial capital.
Although I have no evidence, you are equally suspect.
You definitely don't agree with such a statement, don't say anything without evidence.
Therefore, your first and second points of evidence are logically untenable!
As for the third point, the list of technical similarities you listed, is this what you mean by patent infringement?
I am a little disappointed, and I am a little disappointed in your technical mastery. I have studied the scope of protection of your 1000W fiber laser patents, and even the scope of protection of laser patents in various countries in the world.
However, our lasers did not cause any infringement at all. Jury experts can compare the protection scope of IGP's lasers.
I guess you haven't figured out the core technology of lasers yourself. Our lasers are fundamentally different from IGP's lasers. There is no such thing as infringement. "
At that time, Mu Yang applied for the patent in his own name, just to gain achievement points, not in the name of Xinghai Group.
What the IGP Imperial Capital branch was looking for was the invention patents of the Xinghai Group, which definitely couldn't be found.
Moreover, it wasn't long before Muyang's laser patent release number came out. IGP inquired before suing, and did not find out that Xinghai Group owns the patent for lasers, so it sued Xinghai Group.
Even if he inquired again recently, Mu Yang has not yet applied for the publication number of the invention patent, so how could he find it.
Multiple factors have contributed to this layer upon layer of misunderstanding.
However, Mu Yang didn't want to tell IGP that they had obtained the invention patent publication number. Later, he found that he could use this lawsuit to attract the media to promote the company and products, so he would use his tricks and continue to hide the outside world, and he would not show the invention patent on the official website. The announcement number clarifies the infringement. IGP can file a lawsuit if it wants to. Anyway, it will not be made public until the final critical moment of the trial.
It is impossible to prescribe Wang Zha from the beginning, after all, Mu Yang does not know what evidence the IGP has prepared and whether it is sufficient.
But from the current point of view, all the evidence of the IGP is the same thing, which makes him a little disappointed.
Now, it's time to take out the king bomb.
