Chapter 628 November 11

Knowing that the crux of the problem lies in DuPont, Yang Rui felt shock, fear and fear at the first time.

Yang Rui, who earned $4 million last year, is not on the same order of magnitude as DuPont, which earned more than $1.4 billion last year. As a giant who transformed from industrial and mining to chemistry, from chemistry to biology, DuPont has more than 10,000 scientists alone.

This is a company that can afford first-class scholars and top-level laboratories.

Moreover, behind DuPont, there is DuPont Consortium, which is the top ten consortium in the United States. It is extremely powerful and can influence the political ecology of the United States.

However, Yang Rui quickly calmed down. At least, he forcibly suppressed his negative emotions.

Just like every student sitting in the college entrance examination room, if you say you are afraid of difficulties, everyone has countless reasons to fear difficulties - what should you do if you don’t get well in the exam? Ask a hundred people, and a hundred people have thought about it at least three times.

However, fear of difficulties cannot solve the problem.

Yang Rui forced himself to think about the problem from a good perspective first.

The best reason soon appeared in front of Yang Rui: The Sister Company won the DuPont lawsuit back then!

It can even be said that the lawsuit was easily resolved.

Regarding the relationship between Sister and DuPont, because it is a famous case, many science and technology history have been involved. Yang Rui took them out of his mind and read them greedily to avoid thinking about it himself.

Less than a year after Sister launched the PCR instrument, DuPont sued Sister. Unlike many long patent lawsuits, the San Francisco District Court only took half a year to end the trial of the case, and Sister won a great victory.

This shows that Sister wins easily!

As for Sister, which won the lawsuit, the patent barriers they have are not as thick as Yang Rui's current. In fact, they can rely on two main patents. Their patents in heat-resistant polymerases even have loopholes, which will cause lawsuits again in the future...

But no matter what, if Sister can win, it means that Yang Rui may also win.

Of course, Sister is also a listed company with a capital of over 100 million US dollars. It is also an American company and has caused a lot of noise in the scientific community - this biological company that rose with Reagan's policy has received sympathy from many people in the biological community, and the giant DuPont has always been evil in the eyes of the public.

While thinking, Yang Rui wrote and painted on his laptop.

First of all, we have to raise attorney fees. With enough attorney fees, we may win DuPont in court. DuPont has limited chips, and what they can do is just a few papers from the 1970s, which are completely incompatible with the academic community's recognition of patent rights. Therefore, as long as we can sue well and have attorney fees, Yang Rui has a great chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui wrote down the words "raised money" and "precise" in his notebook.

The pursuit of a lawsuit that is "righteous" may not be able to pursue it with integrity. Yang Rui put this behind him and still stared at the word "raising money".

Without money, you can't afford to sue.

The confrontation with Garnika Company made Yang Rui deeply feel the fair price in American society.

Benjamin is the lawyer who best reflects American fairness. He is not the best lawyer, but he is among the top lawyers in the United States. Inviting lawyers like Benjamin means that the balance of fairness will not tilt to the other hand. Everyone is on the same level and then rely on evidence to speak.

In order to keep the balance from being skewed, it is $2,500 per hour.

In a settlement lawsuit, Benjamin and his team billed for more than 40 hours, plus other fees, and eventually charged more than $100,000, which took more than one-third of the settlement fee, which was still the price that was not in court.

In order to see if the balance is wrong, Yang Rui also needs his own company lawyer and Yue Ting, a Hong Kong lawyer who participated in the patent registration. The price of these two people is about US$1,000 per hour.

Also in this settlement lawsuit, they have to share nearly one-third of the money.

In the end, less than one-third of the settlement funds Yang Rui himself took, and even less than the company lawyers and Hong Kong patent lawyers got more.

This is a lawsuit that won H and it is a quick victory.

If you enter the trial, Benjamin charges $40,000 per game, and $40,000 per minute trial. This is why the free lawyers hired by poor Americans always force them to plead guilty because free lawyers are unwilling to go to court, and they have too many preparations and too many variables.

As a benchmark, the 1995 Simpson's wife murder case took nine months and generated more than 50,000 pages of trial records, while Simpson's dream team charged more than 10 million US dollars.

This is the price of a decent lawsuit.

Yang Rui estimated that it would take at least $1 million to support his lawsuit with DuPont, and $2 million would be much safer.

It happened that Jielikang owed his dividend fee.

"DuPont's calculations are really accurate." Yang Rui sighed and wrote the four words "Achievement Appraisal" on his notebook.

When a lawsuit is not a wholesale money, he can get more confidence by preparing more evidence.

The lawsuit between Sister and DuPont ended up being an academic lawsuit. In the academic world, this is a famous case. Lawyers are important, but lawyers and judges have to listen to expert witnesses in the end. Expert witnesses are all Nobel Prize winners. On academic issues, naturally, only scholars can compete with each other and do not have the qualifications to question lawyers.

In 1984, China's academic level was worrying, but it was not without highlights. After Yang Rui replaced Sist, it turned into an international lawsuit. I think there is still some difference in whether there is a domestic support.

Yang Rui suppressed his mood, read his laptop again, then called to buy a plane ticket to Pingjiang, and prepared to transfer from Pingjiang to go home.

Even if you can find money in Beijing, you will find RMB. The US dollar still needs to find a way to find compensation from the Coenzyme Q10 factory.

After making the phone call, Yang Rui returned to school and found Dean Liu to apply for an early exam - this was naturally just a formality. Dean Liu waved his pen and said, "You passed the interview at the end of this year."

Yang Rui asked more: "Is it in line with the policy?"

"Why don't you meet it? Your academic performance has been recognized in the United States, not to mention that you have published papers in top journals this year. Such students have to take the final exams for compulsory purposes. Are we all old-fashioned?" Dean Liu said and laughed.

Yang Rui was really not in the mood to chat and spank. After thanking President Liu, he would go to Academician Cai to modify the time he visited various places. He wanted to concentrate on a week to visit members from all over the country as soon as possible and make time to come home.

As for the reason for going home, Yang Rui did not explain, and Academician Cai did not ask much. In his opinion, it was natural for Yang Rui's achievements to be identified. Such a formality and constant gifts were given, which was a bit embarrassing for young people.

Therefore, Academician Cai used a pencil to circle the map on the wall and said, "Now there are four professors in Beijing who are members of the Achievement Assessment Committee. We strive to visit them all in two days. If someone has something to do, then wait for us to visit others and take time to visit. Anyway, now we often have to transfer from Beijing by plane."

Yang Rui nodded.

"There are two professors in Shanghai, plus one from Nanjing. There are three here. We will give priority to visiting them. The remaining four professors are scattered all over the world. If it is too late, let's leave it to fate." The circles drawn by Academician Cai are very rigorous in science. Beijing is the largest circle, followed by Shanghai. The remaining small circles are mostly in the southeast, which can reflect the distribution of China's academic circles.

This is still the era of national planning. When the mobility of colleges and universities is completely relaxed, the Matthew effect will make local universities outside Beijing, especially universities located outside megacities, fade academically. Even the University of Science and Technology of China can't stand it, let alone other universities.

Professor Cai drew the circle without delaying the time. He brought Yang Rui and Yang Rui with gifts. He first visited the Peking University professor who had a small meeting a few days ago, and made an appointment with each professor to visit other professors.

An invisible line put Yang Rui and Professor Cai, Professor Cai, Professor Cai, Professor and Professor, Professor and Professor.

The so-called scholars who are from professional schools use such airtight spider webs to lift the ivory tower higher and higher until it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
