"Can an ordinary computer use the Chinese input method?"
Luo Decheng asked Zhang Zhonghua eagerly.
Luo Wenjin Law Firm doesn’t care about tens of thousands of dollars. It can buy a lot for an international lawsuit. Computers are still affordable, and computers are used for office work. It gives people a high-end feeling at first glance. Of course, Zhang Zhonghua’s 3 million US dollars
computers they can't afford.
"The latest PDP-8 from Dec Computer Company needs to be equipped with two more memory versions, so it can be driven, or it can also be directly used as a small industrial machine from IBM.
The input method I developed is to split all Chinese characters and then reassemble them when inputting. If you want to use it, you need to learn it for a while."
Zhang Zhonghua explained.
"Well, there is indeed some trouble. I will send people to register these two patent applications in the United States first. We will also help Zhang Sheng solve the trouble during the publicity period..."
Zhang Zhonghua and Luo Dechen chatted for about two hours, left a check of one hundred thousand dollars, and then left, saying that if it was not enough, he would not talk about it anymore. If he really broke up with IBM, it would be a drizzle of one hundred thousand dollars.
For the next period of time, Zhang Zhonghua tinkered with computers every day and hoarded land with Lou Zhenhua.
But soon Zhang Zhonghua received bad news.
On this day, Zhang Zhonghua was tinkering with the computer in his office as usual, but he received the news from Luo Decheng that there was a problem with the database patent disclosure period in Chou Country.
Zhang Zhonghua was sued for infringement by IBM, Caterpillar and Rockville North America.
Zhang Zhonghua was confused when he heard the news. He was familiar with IBM. What the hell were Caterpillar and North American Rockville?
This is the first time I heard about it!
"Sheng Zhang, IBM has used special means to join the legal process. The case will be heard in court on the 20th. They will sue you for misappropriating their related technology."
Install the latest version.]
"Doesn't it take a year and a half to prepare for a lawsuit in the Ugly Country, and then another year and a half to fight? The court session this time is too fast. Are these ugly country bumpkins always discriminating against us British people?
ah?"
Zhang Zhonghua said a little speechlessly.
Now that Hong Kong Island is under British control, Zhang Zhonghua is of course considered a British person, so he must take the tiger's skin off himself.
After hearing Zhang Zhonghua's words, Luo Decheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Your ID card is only two or three years old. It's too far-fetched to say that you are British.
He was deeply impressed by the shameless spirit of Zhang Zhonghua, his employer.
"This time it should involve U.S. military projects. IBM is an important partner of NASA, so the process will go very quickly."
"Well, I won't be illegally imprisoned directly when I arrive in Chou Country, right?"
In his previous life, Zhang Zhonghua had seen Chou Country allow Canada to illegally detain Ms. Meng, and he was very familiar with Chou Country's shamelessness.
I just wrote a database software. This has nothing to do with your country, NASA. Could it have affected the country's Apollo moon landing plan?
"Definitely not, as long as we make this matter bigger, it will be known to the whole city and the whole world, so that your safety will be more guaranteed.
And Zhang Sheng, is your database software so terrible? It will bring down NASA!"
Luo Luo Cheng asked speechlessly.
"It's just a piece of software. What kind of companies are North American Rockwell and Caterpillar? I still don't know what these two companies are."
Zhang Zhonghua felt like crying, but this time the car crash was too cruel.
"Rockwell is a comprehensive, diversified company with an important position in aerospace products. It is a major arms contractor for NASA and the Department of Defense...
Caterpillar is the world's largest manufacturer of construction machinery and mining equipment, one of the largest manufacturers of gas engines and industrial gas turbines, and one of the largest diesel engine manufacturers in the world."
Luo Luo Cheng briefly introduced Rockwell Company and Caterpillar Company to Zhang Zhonghua.
The more he talked, the more he felt that Zhang Zhonghua was awesome. The three giants of Chou Country sued you together. No one else in the world.
"Aren't they busy working on the Apollo moon landing program?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked.
"That should be true. Doesn't your science fiction also include moon landings?"
"Okay, I need to inform my employees in Japan and the UK."
Zhang Zhonghua now needs the employees of the Jade Emperor Group around the world to cheer for him. He never expected that Chou Guo would be killed by peek-a-boo, or that he would be shot seven times in the back and be deemed a suicide. Chou Guo is never unreasonable, and if it doesn't work, just take it.
Use the weapons in the space and fight your way out.
After Zhang Zhonghua communicated with the heads of various regional companies, he boarded a plane to New York with the team of lawyers led by Luo Decheng. They were accompanied by dozens of security personnel from the Jade Emperor Group, and some people had already gone to Chou Country to prepare.
Vehicle weapons.
Japan, Donglin, Marunouchi CFC Japan branch.
Hu Shirley looked at the senior management in the conference room and said:
"President Zhang Zhonghuajun recently developed a database software and submitted it to the patent organization department of Chou Country last month. Now he has been sued, and the trial will be held on the 20th.
This is shameless hegemony in Ugly Country. How could he be sued during the patent publication period and open the court so quickly? Our president is worried that he will be treated unfairly in Ugly Country. As the president’s subordinates, we must give our full support
President, respond to the President."
"The president is the most talented person I have ever met. He writes science fiction that sells well all over the world, and he also leads our CFC to the world.
And the president was suppressed by the ugly country just for writing a piece of software. Can’t we Asian people get ahead in the field of science and technology? When will we Asian people stand up!
We must call on the people of all Asia to resist the hegemony of US imperialism."
Gong Qigao said indignantly.
"Support the president!"
“Down with U.S. imperialism!”
Many CFC restaurant employees began to march on the streets of Donglin and Kyoto in Japan, holding countless long banners on the streets of Japan and handing out flyers to Japanese people and tourists passing by.
"What happened to Fuhua Sang? How could he be suppressed by the Chou Country?"
Countless passers-by came up to ask.
"Fuhuasang developed an extremely advanced database software and was sued by Chouguo Company during the patent publication period, and went directly to court, skipping many judicial procedures."
CFC catering staff explained.
Japanese people are much more receptive to computers and software. If we were on Hong Kong Island, 9.9 out of ten people would probably have their first reaction: What is a computer? What is a database?
Moreover, although Japanese people admire the country's advanced technology, they are more hostile to it. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are the only places that have been bombed by atomic bombs.
Soon, countless Zhang Zhonghua fans and spectators joined the parade and responded in support of Fu Hua Sang.
In Osaka City, countless Yuhuang Electric employees also went to the streets to demonstrate, complaining about the unfair treatment of their president, and supporting the president in resisting the hegemony of US imperialism.
Countless foreign tourists and staff saw this scene and came to learn about the situation. Even reporters from Japanese newspapers and TV stations conducted interviews. This is the biggest news in recent times.
London, UK, branch of Jade Emperor Group.
"Gentlemen, our boss just developed a database software and was suppressed by the U.S. government. It is unfair and unjust to hold a court during the patent publicity period. Our boss has been greatly wronged. This is contempt for us."
Zheng Juan slammed the table and said angrily.
"Our boss is also a well-known science fiction writer. As a Hong Kong Islander, we are also part of the United Kingdom. This is discrimination against us. We cannot tolerate the ugly country bumpkin who discriminates against our future British gentlemen. We must fight and cannot let him die.
The old man from Chou Country rode on top of us."
Xin Xiaoling said equally angrily.
He mainly said these words to some British executives currently poached by the company.
On that day, countless CFC restaurant employees and Tianzhou Logistics employees in the City of London held banners and started demonstrations in the Financial City. The various banners shocked people around the world.
In the City of London, some financial people from all over the world and media from various countries saw these banners and slogans and asked about the reason. They learned that the science fiction author was sued by an American giant for writing a database software, and he was still unfairly treated.
treatment.
The most important thing is that this author is from Hong Kong. Although in the eyes of the British, Hong Kong Island is just an overseas territory with a higher status than a colony, it is also part of the British Empire. Why do you, an ugly country boy, bully the Queen's people?
.
Reporters from the media saw a blockbuster news happening in their own hands, and rushed to fax the manuscript to their own countries. This was an ugly country that was blatantly trampling on its own laws. What a breaking news.
Many French people are very excited to see the demonstrations. How can there be less demonstrations in France? There are strikes and demonstrations without wage increases. The holidays are too short. Strikes and demonstrations. We are not happy today. We are the French people who are demonstrating.
the main force.
Finally finding a reason to march again, the brothers started marching.
Zhang Zhonghua, who had already arrived in New York, looked at the New York Times and laughed. Yes, his employees are very capable. The bigger the matter, the better. I also want the TV station to broadcast the trial live.
However, as a cheater, I am really embarrassed!
It just so happens that I can use this incident to promote the database I developed, and the textbook should be put on the agenda. The crisis may turn into an opportunity!
…
…
Soon, a team of ten lawyers led by Zhang Zhonghua and Luo Dechen arrived at the New York Federal District Court under the protection of dozens of armed security guards. Six of the barristers were alumni of Luo Dechen's Oxford University, and they had all fought lawsuits for British companies against U.S. companies.
, is very familiar with the laws of the United Kingdom. Both the United States and the United Kingdom belong to the maritime law system, and British lawyers are completely justified in filing lawsuits in the United States.
The U.S. court system is divided into two major systems: the federal system and the state system, with different names and trial levels, and jurisdictional powers are complicated.
Courts generally adopt the jury system for civil and criminal trials.
Prosecutors are under the leadership of the Ministry of Justice and attached to courts at all levels.
The cases under the jurisdiction of the courts of the federal system are mainly: cases involving the federal constitution, laws or international treaties, cases in which one party is the federal government, cases involving agents of foreign governments, cases involving foreign trade and states on the high seas or within the country.
navigable waters for international trade, disputes between different states or citizens of different states, and lawsuits brought by state governments against citizens of other states.
The U.S. federal court system consists of the Supreme Court, the Federal Court of Appeals, federal district courts and several professional courts. The U.S. federal district court is the court of first instance in the federal court system.
Every state in the United States has at least one federal district court. States with large populations and large areas will have several federal district courts. Naturally, the laws of each state are different.
Zhang Zhonghua was surrounded by various reporters as soon as he got off the car.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, did you complete your database independently?"
a New York Times reporter asked.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, what do you think of the database that three companies sued you for plagiarizing?"
a Washington Post reporter asked.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, what do you think about the unfair treatment in Chou Country?"
asked a Times reporter.
Jade Emperor Company security immediately stopped the reporters who were surrounding them.
Luo Decheng led several lawyers to Zhang Zhonghua and said:
"My client, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, has applied to the court for a public hearing and will answer everyone's questions later."
The reporters and the onlookers from the ugly country looked at Zhang Zhonghua and his party walking towards the court, and they all understood one thing. This time it involves three giants and a best-selling science fiction author. This author is still being tried in public.
It was a bit lively now.
"Zhang Sheng, you just need to remain silent during the court session. You can add anything you need to add," Luo Decheng said.
"I understand, it's troublesome." Zhang Zhonghua said gratefully, and the legal team he found for himself was quite large.
The trial started at ten o'clock. Zhang Zhonghua sat in the dock and looked at the Ugly Court. The jury team reached 10 people. It seemed that the three companies had contributed a lot. The chief judge was a Jew in his 50s who was very sophisticated.
IBM, Rockwell and Caterpillar had as many as 15 lawyers appearing in court. Zhang Zhonghua was pained by the thick copywriting. When did the three companies develop this database together? It was really a collision.
Twenty minutes later, Chief Judge Moses Lyon asked: "Defendant Zhang Zhonghua, plaintiff IBM, Rockwell and Caterpillar are suing you for stealing their trade secrets. You can state your opinions."
"My client, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, came to Chou Country for the first time on May 26, 1970. He only had a business trip in Chou Country for ten days, and he has never left Los Angeles. All of this can be found.
Even my client, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, has heard of Rockwell and Caterpillar for the first time. The lawsuit against the plaintiff is pure nonsense..."
Luo Luo Cheng argued.
"The database software developed by the defendant has the same structure as the database software developed by our research in many aspects. It is a database jointly developed by the three of us, among which..."
The plaintiff's lawyer stated the information provided by the three parties.
“Our client did not apply for any relevant parties when he applied for the patent, and given the level of confidentiality of the three plaintiff companies, my client has no ability to steal the secrets of the three companies.
Also, may I ask whether the plaintiff’s database software has been developed? If not, then why should the plaintiff sue an already mature product for infringement with an unsuccessful product?
Your Honor, we suspect that the plaintiff intends to steal the fruits of Mr. Zhang Zhonghua’s labor through this method and to seize patents related to the defendant’s database..."
