Chapter 208
The information provided by Mu Yang was too sudden. According to regulations, as long as it is within the time limit for producing evidence, it can be before or after the trial.
The information he provided was only a few important pages, and the review of the information was also very fast.
This trial has been going on for 40 to 50 minutes, people can be anxious, and the procedure has reached this point.
The presiding judge took a temporary break for ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, Mu Yang defended his patent according to the requirements of the judge and jurors, explaining the difference between his laser patent and IGP, which is not within the protection scope of the IGP laser patent at all.
The more Lu Yiming listened, the more anxious he became, feeling that he had no chance of winning, so he hurriedly asked for help:
"Judge, I request an additional attorney. He is Mr. Ryan, the vice president and technical director of the IGP headquarters. He has already applied for it and has been approved by your court. He is more clear about foreign laser patents.
If the Xinghai Group's laser invention patent was made by Mu Yang, his English should be good, and the communication between the two parties will be more convenient. Of course, I can translate for you. "
During the trial period, agents can be added, but each party has a maximum of two.
And it must be applied. Lu Yiming had already applied to the court in advance, but Ryan did not appear in court due to language barriers.
The judge nodded: "Yes, the request is reasonable."
Before the trial, the court looked at the application and considered foreigners participating in the trial.
After Ryan got the consent, he conducted identity verification, and after verifying that his identity was all right, he sat beside Lu Yiming.
Ryan is an expert in laser technology. After comparing the overseas patents of Xinghai Group, his face turned pale in an instant, and he whispered a few words to Lu Yiming next to him.
Lu Yiming: "Your Honor, Ryan wants to communicate with Mu Yang, do you agree?"
The judge turned to Mu Yang: "Mu Yang, the defendant's attorney, do you agree?"
Mu Yang didn't hesitate: "Yes, I also want to end this case as soon as possible. I think IGP probably doesn't have enough evidence to prove our infringement."
After Mu Yang finished speaking in Chinese, he repeated it to Ryan in English.
Ryan's face was heavy: "Mr. Mu Yang, are you sure this is your invention patent? I can't believe it, do you know what is Brillouin-Raman distribution?"
Mu Yang smiled: "Hua people have always created miracles. My laser is more advanced than your IGP. Haven't you seen my invention patent just now? Do you have any questions? Brillouin-Raman distributed pair It’s very simple for me, no.”
After hearing this, Ryan's complexion was not very good, he was silent for a while, and quickly made a decision: "I think this prosecution is a misunderstanding, we can admit defeat and carry out further cooperation at the same time."
The patents of the two parties are different, and Muyang's laser is more advanced, and there are technical aspects that IGP has been unable to understand. If they can cooperate in depth, it will be of great benefit to IGP.
The laser they are currently developing is just stuck on it. Unexpectedly, Xinghai Group has already applied for a patent. If it is stuck by Xinghai Group's patent, then IGP will find another way, and the initial R&D investment will be a waste.
Moreover, the failure of the prosecution this time is inevitable, and there is no need to continue the trial.
Mu Yang said: "You originally wanted to blackmail us a sum of money, there is no misunderstanding, now you have no chance of winning, admit defeat or not, the impact is not big.
As for the cooperation you want, I don't feel your sincerity, and this is after you voluntarily admit defeat. Of course, you can apply for out-of-court coordination to resolve this matter first. "
"No problem." Ryan agreed, and explained to Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming then applied to the presiding judge for out-of-court mediation, which is also part of the trial process.
The presiding judge agreed and agreed to mediate in the mediation room within 15 minutes.
After a while.
In the mediation room, there were only the defendant Mu Yang, the plaintiff Fang Ryan and Lu Yiming, and the judge did not interfere with the private discussions between the two parties.
Mu Yang said to Ryan: "I ask IGP to take the initiative to apologize publicly in front of the media and take the initiative to eliminate misunderstandings. Is this okay?"
As for the email information he saw by hacking, Mu Yang originally planned to expose it on the Internet and sue IGP, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was meaningless. IGP can say that the information has been processed by technology, such as PS, and it is impossible to form evidence .
Unless he has video or voice, the problem is no.
In other words, Mu Yang would be disgusted with IGP at most.
Perhaps, most netizens will believe this.
But what does it mean to Mu Yang?
It has no practical meaning at all, so I can only vent my anger, and maybe expose his hole card of hacking to the public, which is not worth it.
Unless they are unwilling to apologize publicly, Mu Yang will be exposed.
Ryan: "That's okay, it was our fault."
Mu Yang didn't expect him to agree so quickly, and felt a little surprised.
Ryan said: "After your laser invention patent is authorized, I want to obtain a technical authorization, or you can sell the patent to our IGP, and the price is negotiable."
Mu Yang did not expect that Ryan wanted to buy technology. If he applied for substantive examination in advance, the invention patent authorization process would be faster. He pondered for a while and said: "I will not sell invention patents, I only authorize overseas parts, tell me about your price. "
Ryan estimated the patents brought by Xinghai Group's lasers, and said: "The exclusive license is five million dollars per year. At the same time, Xinghai Group will not enter the laser cutting machine industry market."
The price of this technology authorization is not random, it is mainly set according to the cost of research and development, the size of the profit that you may obtain, and market conditions.
Ryan knew that with the authorization of this technology, the annual profit of IGP may exceed US$100 million.
"Hehe, your idea is really good. You bought our invention patent, and I can guess what you think, but with only five million dollars, you want to prevent us from entering the laser cutting machine market, and you want to authorize it exclusively. Then Impossible." Mu Yang shook his head and refused, he did not agree.
However, he didn't expect Ryan to give a higher price, which was a bit surprising.
In fact, Muyang has never planned to enter the laser cutting machine industry. The water here is too deep. In a few years, the market competition for low-to-medium power laser cutting equipment below 4000W has become fierce.
Xinghai Group's lasers, some technologies applied to laser cutting machines, can greatly improve cutting efficiency by 10%-15%. This is why Ryan is interested in Xinghai Group's laser technology. He guesses that Xinghai Group wants to enter the laser cutting machine market.
"Exclusive authorization is unlikely, but I promise up to three overseas authorizations, with an annual authorization fee of US$5 million, Xinghai Group does not need to enter the laser cutting machine market.
However, your 1000W to 3000W fiber lasers cannot enter the Huaguo market. " Mu Yang demanded that IGP's 1000W lasers are produced in the Shencheng branch, and the cost is not much different from that of Xinghai Group's lasers. If the two parties fight a price war, it will not be of any benefit to Xinghai Group.
Of course, Mu Yang values the overseas market, but the domestic market has not been digested yet.
Of course, Ryan would not agree to Mu Yang's conditions so quickly, the two bargained for a few rounds, and it was settled soon.
The price of technology authorization is reduced to US$3 million per year. IGP abandons the Huaguo 1000W-2000W fiber laser market, and Xinghai Group abandons entering the laser cutting machine market. The agreement is for three years, and other conditions remain unchanged.
For IGP, Huaguo's 1000W-2000W low-power fiber laser market cannot compete with Xinghai Group, so it is better to give up, and it will lose a strong competitor in the future.
The interests of both parties are win-win, and it is impossible to talk about who earns more and less, but generally speaking, Xinghai Group earns more. Ryan guessed wrongly about the development direction of Xinghai Group's lasers, thinking that they would enter the laser cutter market.
After the trial, the two parties signed an agreement. As long as Xinghai Group's laser invention patent is authorized, the agreement will take effect. This is also a prerequisite.
However, the authorization time for this invention patent will be very long. The application was filed in mid-November last year, and it will have to wait until May 2011 to obtain the authorization. Of course, if the IGP is not afraid of risks, it is also possible to use the money first.
The two talked quickly, only for a few minutes, and then returned to court.
Lu Yiming expressed his request to the judge and agreed.
The presiding judge knocked on the cone: "The next trial will continue. Through the court hearing just now, the court heard the evidence, defense and final statement of the defendant's representative, Mu Yang, and presented the relevant evidence to the court. After the deliberation, it is believed that the evidentiary materials presented by the defendant on behalf of Mu Yang in court are legal in form and source, and the contents are mutually corroborated, which can be used as the basis for deciding the case.
Clerk: "Everyone stand up!"
Presiding judge: "This court believes that the defendant Fang Xinghai Group Co., Ltd. does not constitute an invention patent infringement. The plaintiff's complaint is not established. This judgment is an oral judgment, and the judgment will be delivered to the plaintiff within five days. After mediation between the two parties, the plaintiff admits that the complaint is not established. Publicly apologize to Xinghai Group within three days after filing the case”
Clerk: "Retire!"
The reporters who were watching were watching enthusiastically. Suddenly, the IGP company actually conceded defeat. For them, it would be a good show if they continued to fight.
They wished for a more intense fight, anyway, they were not the ones being hurt, and they didn't even care which side lost.
What a surprise.
However, with the court trial at this point, it is obvious that IGP is doomed, and it would be better to take the initiative to admit defeat and appear aboveboard.
After leaving the court, the staff of Xinghai Group applauded warmly to celebrate the victory of the lawsuit.
At this time, Mu Yang's mood is very relaxed and comfortable, he really wants to sing, a very disturbing song for later generations.
Poor fork
you sing the sunrise
poor ha ha sing sunset
Harry Potter flies on a broomstick
Saori Saori,
and my broom
But it can only clean up the garbage dump!
For Mu Yang, the IGP is no different from a garbage dump, and he has cleaned it up now.
