Chapter 3002 Response
When getting off the plane, Feng Yiping walked very slowly, holding the gangway, looking thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something important.
When Wu Qian, who was on the phone, walked to his side, she looked at Mayer, who had already got off the plane neatly and looked particularly excited from the back, "Yiping, the reporter will be here soon,"
Feng Yiping nodded and signaled Wu Qian to go first.
He didn't have to think about anything to accept such an arranged interview, and there was no major issue to consider at the moment. He looked tired like this.
After Mukasey finished his report, a certain hero who felt that he had made a contribution kept pulling him to "meeting". Because there were no other family members, including the little ones, they made some new attempts in the living area that occupied nearly half of the space on the plane... The result is what it looks like now.
Several cars drove over. As soon as Feng Yiping stepped onto the airport, the reporters' microphones formed a circle in front of him. A middle-aged reporter with curly hair spoke louder than the others, "Feng, you came back so soon. Does this mean that you are confident that you can win Nortel's patents?"
"I believe that Nortel's patents will eventually be well applied," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
Now they accept interviews not mainly to answer the questions of the questioners, but to express their own opinions.
"More importantly, I also believe that no matter which party wins the bid for these patents, it will definitely be a good thing for the development of related industries,"
A female reporter lowered her head and broke out from the wall of colleagues, "Mr. Feng, does this mean that if you win these patents, you will not use them to initiate a patent war?"
Feng Yiping liked this question a little bit, "As you know, Android has not initiated a patent lawsuit on its own initiative. We and Android hardware manufacturers have always been the targets of lawsuits,"
"I think everyone can see our current situation. This participation in the auction is one of our efforts to prevent Android from being strangled,"
Mayer, who had already gotten in the car, left the door open and looked at this side attentively. Some very personalized and emotional words, Rubin can say, but you are not easy to say.
Her worries are unnecessary. Feng Yiping did not go deep in this regard. At this time, he said too much about this aspect, which is not very good. From a legal point of view, there is nothing wrong in initiating patent lawsuits. Instead, it is a manifestation of respect for intellectual property rights.
He just needs to let everyone think about Android being suppressed and besieged.
"Of course, we fully respect intellectual property rights and the decisions of all related companies. Objectively speaking, the relevant lawsuits will, to a certain extent, prompt the entire industry to increase investment in research and development and increase innovation efforts,"
"However, there should be a degree of this. From the current situation, we think that if we can avoid putting more energy and resources into the relevant lawsuits, it may be better and more conducive to the healthy and rapid development of the entire industry,"
"So, yes, if we win these patents, we will definitely not use them to initiate lawsuits. We prefer to cooperate. The relevant companies reach cross-licensing with each other, which will definitely be more beneficial to all users, the entire industry, and the entire society,"
Mayer was very satisfied with this. This is what people like him should say.
A reporter standing next to him asked loudly, "Mr. Feng, we see that Microsoft is one of the companies that has initiated more patent lawsuits against Android. Why did you choose to join forces in this auction?"
"Does Microsoft also hold this view?"
How could Microsoft, which is best at and likes to use patents to suppress competitors, think so?
Feng Yiping smiled lightly, "Don't you think that our cooperation just proves this point?"
"Thank you, thank you for your attention and reports," he said goodbye to the reporters, and walked towards Sabban under the escort of security personnel. The reporters still chased him and kept asking, "Does this mean that Microsoft and Android have reached a tacit understanding in relevant aspects?"
Or, "Will Apple also reach such a tacit understanding with you?"
Feng Yiping just smiled and waved to them without saying a word.
But this is not a bad thing. His attitude gave the reporters who came to the airport today a lot of room to play.
Sure enough, no matter which interview Feng Yiping, it is worth it.
…………
In Seattle, Ballmer quickly saw this interview. Looking at the last question answered by Feng Yiping, he suddenly felt that he was fooled by that guy after taking all precautions.
He touched his bald head with anger and amusement. It's okay for you to pretend to be a master, but how can our cooperation prove that Microsoft also holds the same view as you?
Patent litigation can create such huge benefits, why don't we do it?
However, after listening to Feng Yiping's words, it seems to be true. Otherwise, how could you join hands with Android?
Ordinary users who pay attention to this point will not think about the normal state between these companies, which is always stabbing each other mercilessly while hugging like relatives. They will only think that since Microsoft and Android are allies in such an auction, they must have reached an agreement in this regard.
So, it is really hard to guard against!
Look at these words of Feng Yiping. On the one hand, we respect and support property rights, and litigation will improve the level of the industry. At the same time, we believe that this is not conducive to the development of the industry as a whole... You are reasonable, right?
He looked at the suggestions from the public relations department. At this time, it was hard to tell the media that that was not the case. The reason why we participated in the auction was to have more patented weapons and launch more lawsuits.
In other words, the reason why we agreed to join forces with Android is because we, mainly me, think that such a joint effort has a greater chance of winning?
“Get the reporters over here,” he told his secretary.
No matter what, I should stand up and say a few words.
He really hates the feeling of being led by Feng Yiping all the time. By the way, why didn't you do this when Gates was in charge of Microsoft's work?
Feng Yiping: At that time, I was just a child.
Five minutes later, Ballmer was interviewed by reporters downstairs in his office. In other words, it was through these reporters that he told what he wanted to say.
"Microsoft has always held the view that patents should serve society rather than create more obstacles,"
By the way, if the reporters who came here were not all related people, I might have heard laughter. Microsoft, which is always engaged in patent wars, is really embarrassed to say such a thing?
"Specifically for this auction, what we want to tell you is that as early as 2006, Microsoft had signed a patent cross-licensing agreement with Nortel. Microsoft has a permanent free license to use all Nortel patents worldwide. This The license covers all Microsoft products and services,"
"In other words, there is absolutely no need for us to participate in this auction,"
Feng Yiping, who had just arrived at the office, wanted to laugh when he saw this paragraph. Ballmer, you can really deceive. Yes, you have signed a cross-licensing agreement with Nortel, and the so-called cross means reciprocity.
But now that Nortel is gone, that is, they don't use Microsoft's patents, but you, Microsoft, can still use Nortel's patents for free?
This logic is really Microsoft.
Furthermore, don’t you hope to acquire Nortel’s patents and use them to initiate more lawsuits and collect more fees?
"Microsoft's participation in the auction is mainly for the healthy development of the entire industry,"
Feng Yiping was cleaning up his desk while watching Ballmer on TV. Hey, you, like me, are trying to improve yourself.
But, could you please use a different set of words?
Some of the things I say have very good effects, brother, if you say them, it won’t necessarily work.
You, Microsoft, are in the industry, but in the past, the famous Microsoft was not able to grow a single blade of grass.
Also the healthy development of the industry?
Look at the current field of PC operating systems. What other industry is there? The only one is Microsoft, okay?
"In fact, we believe," Ballmer looked at the camera, "that these Nortel patents should not be sold and should be made available to everyone for free."
"Cough, cough," Feng Yiping, who was drinking water, suddenly choked, was he so violent all of a sudden?
