Chapter 965: Pros and Cons of Patents
Of course, graphene batteries also have grades, and it is impossible to achieve the ideal effect once they are put into commercial use. As the publicity says, electric cars can run 1,000 kilometers in 10 minutes of charging.
This is of course the most ideal and the result that everyone hopes to get. But it is not easy to achieve in reality. This is like artificial intelligence. Everyone hopes that artificial intelligence can be advanced and smart enough, just like our human brain. But although the current development of artificial intelligence is rapid, it is far from reaching the effect everyone expects.
Due to limitations such as materials, manufacturing technology, cost, etc., even if graphene batteries are released, they may be much stronger than ordinary lithium batteries on the market, but they can be so exaggerated in publicity.
In fact, Haoyu Technology's relevant laboratories and R&D teams have been under research on graphene technology and have achieved some success.
However, these technologies will not be used immediately, but will be stored in the company's data database as a technical reserve for future needs.
Not only graphene technology, the company's data database stores a lot of research and scientific research success, and the coverage is very broad.
Some of these technologies have been released and used in newly released related products, while others continue to be stored, waiting for immediate needs.
The ones that come with these technologies are of course a large number of technical patents. As domestic technical copyright laws and regulations become more and more strict, major companies attach great importance to the application and registration of technical patents.
Even this has become a business or a favorable weapon for major companies. Therefore, some patent scrambles are often staged. Regardless of this technology or design, you can apply for a patent to register first.
In this way, even if you don’t use it in the future, you can authorize it to be used by others. It can also become a powerful weapon to attack competitors at critical moments.
Of course, Wu Hao and the others also attach great importance to the application and registration of technical patents, and have set up special departments to be responsible for these things.
At present, the company's annual number of patent applications registered has been firmly among the top in China, and even often topped the top.
Moreover, in terms of the quality of technical patents, their company is also the best. This is not because their Wang Po sells melons and boasts, but is statistics and published by professional and authoritative organizations.
In fact, these technical patents do not represent all the technologies of Wu Hao and others, this is just a part of all their technical patents.
They have a lot of technologies, but have not been announced to the public for the time being, and many technologies need to be kept confidential by themselves.
For example, the formula, manufacturing process, etc. of super solid-state batteries are currently kept confidential.
There are also some products that are not suitable for patent application. Just like the Fuying Intelligent Attack UAV, the Crazy Bee Cluster Array Attack System, the Battlefield Sweeper Single Strike System, the Jianmu 1 Jianmu 2 launch vehicle, etc. These cutting-edge weapons and equipment are generally strictly kept confidential, so how can they register patents and make them public?
For Wu Hao and others, or for most companies, applying for patent registration is just to better protect their own technology, design, and creativity.
Exchange disclosure for protection, this is the basic concept of patents.
This method is not necessarily completely beneficial, it has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it is protected by relevant laws and regulations on patents in various countries and regions, your technology, design and creativity are jointly protected by everyone and your legitimate rights and interests.
However, this also means that you must disclose the technology, design, creativity, and patent laws also stipulate this kind of protection. This kind of protection also has a certain time period. Generally, after the patent protection period of more than ten years is over, it must be announced to the public free of charge.
At that time, this technology was theoretically not yours anymore. It would become the common property of the whole world, and anyone has the right to use it for free.
It sounds great, but in fact, it's all for the sake of profit.
Moreover, countries that attach different importance to patent protection and countries that attach importance to intellectual property rights have relatively complete laws and regulations on patent protection and are implemented better.
But how do you encounter what you don’t pay much attention to intellectual property rights, lack of laws and regulations on patent protection, or are not perfect enough, and the implementation is like doing things like doing things and going through the motions.
Even more excessive, there is no law or regulation in this regard, or even oppose the law or regulation in this regard, and there is no awareness in this regard.
So after these patents are disclosed, they are used by these countries or regions. For example...
If you encounter this situation, you can only admit that you are unlucky.
There are even some countries and regions that claim to be a model of democracy, and they will use some excuses to invade some patented technologies.
For example, in terms of medicine, Sandu uses excuses to seize some patented technologies from other pharmaceutical companies to produce generic drugs.
These generic drugs are naturally a blessing for ordinary people and patients. But for pharmaceutical companies, it is not fair.
The drugs developed by pharmaceutical companies have spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but they have been stolen and copied, which is a kind of harm to their rights.
Perhaps everyone applauds this kind of behavior, but if the pharmaceutical company goes bankrupt or stops the development of new drugs, the people will eventually be injured.
So for these pharmaceutical companies, they love and hate patents. Naturally, because the laws and regulations related to patents protect their legitimate rights and interests.
What about hatred is naturally because these protection measures cannot prevent some people from infringing on their legitimate rights and interests. Moreover, these patent intelligence has been maintained for more than ten years, and once it expires, it means losing ownership.
This is still very stressful for pharmaceutical companies that spend huge amounts of money to develop drugs.
After all, the financial resources consumed in the research and development of new drugs are too high, and the time period is too long. Generally, a new drug can start with three years, and five years are considered to be a general level of more than ten years.
Moreover, this may not necessarily lead to successful research and development. The general success rate is only 50%. In other words, it is either successful or failure, with too high uncertainty and too high risk.
Even though it has finally been successfully developed, it is difficult to recover the cost within such a limited protection period.
This is also the reason why many new drugs remain high. Of course, it is not ruled out that many pharmaceutical companies blindly pursue profits and randomly set sky-high prices.
Therefore, many pharmaceutical companies choose to keep confidentiality by themselves. For example, some of our national Chinese medicines use self-confidentiality, and the formula is top secret.
