Chapter 89 Issues in Patent Promotion
Chen Mingluo did not expect that the provincial party secretary had so many twists in his head. He just thought that if the province could have a clearer attitude, he would add another bargaining chip to promote the practicality of patented technology.
He is very clear about what the current environment is. Although there are many private enterprises in China, there are not many large-scale development scales. On the issue of social and capitalism in the entire economic system, there are still fierce debates, and many people are waiting and watching.
Just like the incident of the Eight Kings of Wenzhou and the subsequent storms, there will always be accidents in the entire process of social and economic changes. The impact of the political system on the economic system is obviously a very important factor.
When the overall environment is not very clear, if you want to relax your hands and feet in Xiling Province, you will inevitably encounter various obstacles, especially the influence of state-owned enterprises in the province on the trial stage, which makes it difficult for private small enterprises to develop.
Chen Mingluo considered that it is not impossible for him to develop through the production of water-saving equipment now, but it will be very difficult and it will be difficult to get strong support from government departments. Even with the support of Xiao Mingxue, it will only have an impact in Mingyang.
If you want to focus on the entire Xiling Province and have the idea of going out, you must get the support of powerful people like Sang Mingda, but this opportunity is not so easy to get.
Coincidentally, this opportunity is in front of you. Sang Mingda is very interested in the water-saving faucet project.
How should I take advantage of this great opportunity?
For many domestic inventors, there are only two ways of promotion: one is to transfer patents, and the other is to develop patents.
With patent rights, the first thing to do is to examine the existence of the market and find exports from the surveyed data. For example, what are the characteristics of the water-saving faucet invented by Chen Mingluo, which units or groups are most suitable for, which departments should be found, or who should I ask for orders after I produce it myself, etc. These are actually all in the market.
It can be said that without a market, there will be no promotion and development of patented technologies.
Many patent inventors often complain that it is difficult to create a patent. There is such a good technology in front of people, but no one cherishes it. For this reason, they finally attribute the reason to bad luck and lack of insight.
In fact, many patent inventors have fallen into misunderstandings when it comes to patent inventions and promotions. They just fight alone and rely on their own efforts to do everything, but the result is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the effect is not good. However, they do not know that it is much easier to do things with external forces and the opportunity to succeed.
For example, the one who was the father Chen Tongda, who liked to make some small inventions, small creations, etc., had no doubt about his technical level and cultural literacy, but when promoting his patented technology, he was blocked everywhere and encountered walls everywhere and gained nothing.
He always carries patent information and works with various companies with his ambition to break through the iron shoes. In addition to praising his good skills, others usually talk about him and are unwilling to discuss patent transfer and cooperative promotion.
Finally, the head of a company told the truth, "It is not realistic to let the company invest with just one mouth or a few pages. They are unwilling to spend time and money on other people's technology to conduct preliminary research and development. Unless your things are tangible and can even be sold as products, they will be interested in cooperating with you."
After this introduction, he found an industrial design company and commissioned it to complete the appearance, structure, process and other links, turning the paper technology into a realistic sample. After seeing it, some companies and investors were very interested and interested in cooperation. Finally, after the design company's strong recommendation, his patented technology was transferred to a company, and finally he had the hard work.
It can be seen from this that it is very necessary for patent inventors to use external forces.
Today, Chen Mingluo is obviously planning a little further. What he wants is not just the transfer of patented technology, but also the desire to directly participate in marketing and benefit directly from the terminal market.
So Chen Mingluo thought about it and boldly put forward his own suggestions, "The technological advancement of the water-saving faucet is unquestionable. This is recognized by both the Patent Office and the Water-saving Office. Although there are no obstacles to transfer the technology now, as my first invention patent, I hope to participate in its practical application."
"Well, a child with ideas." Sang Mingda nodded and praised, "Then what are your considerations? Why don't you say it out loud? We adults can help you with your staff?"
Chen Mingluo replied cautiously, "I want to achieve marketization of products through OEM model."
His idea is also very simple. After inspecting several large sanitary ware factories in Xiling Province, he selected one or two OEM companies to produce and process by paying processing fees, and then packaged and sold the sales rights of the water-saving faucet through product regional agency.
"In this case, there are two problems. One is the product batch number, and the other is that the OEM cost should be relatively large. Even if you have to pay a part in advance, the amount will not be too small." Chen Mingluo said with some regret. "It's a pity that there are no mature VCs in China, otherwise I would be very confident that I can raise some money."
"What VC?" Xiao Mingxue, Chen Tongda and others were stunned when they heard his words, not understanding what this means.
Sang Mingda's eyes lit up and looked at Chen Mingluo with admiration. He smiled and said, "You two are elders, but you need to strengthen your studies, otherwise you will not be able to catch up with the children. VC is the English abbreviation of venture capital. This is very popular overseas now. As long as you have good creativity, you may get investment in VC, which is real money."
"That's just a loan." Xiao Xiao interrupted.
"It's different from a loan." Sang Mingda also liked this beautiful little girl very much, and explained to her with a smile, "If you pay for it, the loan will have to be repaid, and venture capital will not be needed."
"If you lose money, you don't need to pay off your debt. Is there such a good thing?" Everyone was immediately interested.
Sang Mingda smiled and said, "There is indeed such a thing, and of course it is not completely unconditional. Now the domestic economy and overseas are getting closer and closer. You should strengthen your studies in the future. I would like to recommend some books for you to study it carefully. As a leader, it is terrible if you don't understand contemporary economic issues."
Xiao Mingxue and Chen Tongda nodded repeatedly and said yes, but they were a little suspicious. Why did Chen Mingluo know this?
