Lin Ping ignored the other party's surprise and took out EA's trademark logo.
"In the top five countries with developed economies, I will first register the trademarks of the three companies. And these related patents have also been applied for and handled. All of these patents are applied for registration in the name of EA. In addition, contact Mirohua, a company under Philips, to buy their patent use rights for the "TV game and training device". As Lin Ping spoke, he took out the logo and patent drawings he had already drawn.
For the patent of "TV game and training device", this is purely a patent bomb. This is the patent of the gamepad. Anyone must pay the patent fee for the protection period within 20 years.
Atari lost the lawsuit and paid 700,000 US dollars, and Nintendo lost several lawsuits in a row, and had to compensate a lot of cash.
After all, the gaming console industry has just begun, and the patented Great Wall has not yet been formed.
Once the Great Wall of Patents has formed a scale, buying these patents alone will cause a lot of money to be paid. This is why, many countries in later generations did not have game console manufacturers.
And this is just the gaming console industry.
In the chip industry, the patented Great Wall is even more terrifying.
The patent drawings drawn by Lin Ping spanned the third generation of game consoles, starting from 8-bit FC, transitioning from 16-bit MD to ending from 64-bit PS consoles. In addition, Lin Ping also took out two models of handheld consoles, namely GB and GBA.
The appearance of the three game consoles, the three game controllers, cross buttons, shoulder buttons, bottom buttons, and the vibration module system on the controller are patented.
Liu Dacheng took the drawings and looked at them one by one.
Although he was a little confused about professional content, he knew one thing. The company had not yet been opened, but the patent had to be applied for so quickly, which shows that there was guidance from experts behind this person.
But it’s not surprising. It’s hard not to meet experts without arriving in two prestigious schools.
But when did such a big change happen in the country that has been closed? It seems that private enterprises in China are not allowed to register and open, but schools have stepped forward to participate in market competition!
"I seem to understand why Mr. Lin chose a law firm now." With such a lot of work, it is obvious that an ordinary agency can't do it.
"Help me calculate how much these costs?" Lin Ping didn't have much money and needed to carefully plan and use it.
"The registration fee for the three companies is the rental fee for the office building where the registration is. Trademark registration in so many countries and patent applications may require a large amount. In addition, we will contact the other party to report this specific number to you after you report it. But don't worry, we will try to lower the other party's quotation as much as possible. In the preliminary calculation, plus our agency fee, you may need to pay 30,000 US dollars in advance. After the other party's patent quotation is issued, it may be additional. But I believe that the 100,000 US dollars will be settled for you." Liu Dacheng calculated the initial quotation briefly and gave the initial quotation.
"This is $30,000! I think this office building is good. Please contact me with the property and rent a 100-square-meter office location." Lin Ping couldn't afford to rent a full floor now.
"These three companies and local trademarks can help you with three days, and you can carry out the company's business with your seal first. As for trademarks and patents in the world, this will take at least 3 months." Liu Dacheng was very curious at this time, what achievements these three companies will have in the future!
If the guess is correct, this should be the first private enterprise in China.
For a whole day, Lin Ping spent all his time drafting various contracts and signings.
Fortunately, this is the law firm. No matter what kind of contract Lin Ping needs, the other party helped Lin Ping to draft it very well.
After the company registration was completely handed over to the lawyer, Lin Ping bought four Atari 2600 game consoles and four Pac-Man arcade machines in the following days. Four Apple 2nd generation computers, four external 3.5-inch floppy drives, one video recorder, and 100 disks of various blank video tapes. In addition, he also purchased 30 68,000 chips launched by Motorola last year, as well as a bunch of various auxiliary chips.
After spending money, Lin Ping added 30,000 US dollars to the law firm. At this time, he spent a total of 90,000 US dollars in the past few days in Hong Kong.
However, when Lin Ping was about to fly back to the capital, Liu Dacheng called and Lin Ping wanted to purchase the patent right, and the other party responded.
"20-year use rights for US$100,000!" For Lin Ping, the price is barely acceptable.
When Lin Ping finally flew back to the capital, he only had US$5,000 left.
The three Gu Qingshan brothers stayed in Gangcheng, and Lin Ping left them $5,000 for the company's purchase of office supplies and their daily expenses. At this time, the three of them used their office space as their homes.
For individuals in this era, 5,000 US dollars is still an astronomical existence. But for a person who owns three companies, this amount of money will probably burn out soon.
After the plane landed, Lin Ping called the old man at the airport.
Soon, a truck drove to Linjia Hutong with these things.
"You kid hasn't been at home these days, but something big happened at home. You should be careful when you get home!" Lin Jiang said helplessly at Lin Ping.
"I haven't been there these few days. Has any foreign businessman visited the old man's electronics factory?" Lin Ping thought of the old man's request to be a translator.
"Hey..." Lin Jiang sighed at first when he heard Lin Ping talk about this.
"This joint venture is not a good idea. The other party dislikes the poor quality of the workers in our factory. They even point out that our factory has poor hygiene conditions. Some people in the factory urinate and defecate anywhere. For this reason, your grandfather not only failed to become the factory director, but even the deputy factory director is almost finished. Now he is remembered for a big mistake. It is estimated that after the New Year, the old man may be allowed to retreat to the second line." Lin Jiang never expected that this time, his factory would be defeated by peeing and two pieces of shit.
When Lin Ping heard this, he almost burst out laughing.
"No! For such an important visit, didn't you clean it in advance?" Lin Ping remembered that when he was a child, he came to the school for a visit. The sanitation was cleaned for an afternoon.
How could such a big thing happen to the factory today for such an important visit?
"It may be someone framed, or maybe... it may be that our factory's quality is too poor." Lin Jiang was a little decadent. When he thought that this method failed, although he was unwilling to accept it, he could only accept it.
"Don't your factory still have a factory manager? What about others? Does he have no responsibility if he is so difficult?" Lin Ping asked in confusion.
"After something happened, he directly reported that he had retired. He had already taken sick leave in the past six months. Now that something happened, someone naturally asked him to give up. The shit and urine basin were all tied to us.
Chapter completed!
