This kind of defensive self-protection behavior of trademarks is similar to patents.
If the other party does not apply for a patent and learn from other material companies to process this artificial SEI film confidentially, they will not have too much of a headache.
With the scientific research strength of the United States, as long as the corresponding materials can be obtained, I believe it will not take long to complete the reverse engineering.
It may not be exactly the same, but there is no problem in simulating and imitating 70 to 80% of the performance, and it is not impossible to even study it for a while to go further.
Because as long as there is profit to be made, capital will flow into this field without any scruples, not to mention that this is a huge market worth trillions.
Now, if the other party registers a patent, it will cause a headache.
If you copy it, you will definitely not be able to circumvent international patent laws.
Although patents are created to protect the rights of inventors, all countries need to follow them.
But in a sense, international patent law is more about protecting themselves.
Because compared to other countries, the United States and its allies have registered and applied for so many international patents that the patent office does not even know how many.
Relying on these patents, they earn countless money from other countries every year.
Nowadays, international patent law has become a rule that countries around the world abide by. Although there are cases where people do not abide by this rule, they are only a minority.
Especially in the current situation, the person applying for the patent is a top scientist with a very high global reputation, and the patent applied for is also very important.
If you break this unspoken rule in this regard, to be honest, you will end up with a lose-lose situation.
Although this is not the first time they have done something like hooligans, this time it is not a problem to be shameless and directly 'imitate' without consent, and it is impossible for the other party to rush to their country to stop it.
But you still have to consider the consequences after doing it.
Being sued by such an internationally renowned top scholar to the International Court of Justice over patent licensing issues can be said to be a major blow to the reputation of the United States.
If that's all, then forget it.
What is reputation? Fame cannot be eaten for a living. They have a million ways to get the international court to side with them.
But the subsequent consequences may be disastrous.
If this kind of thing is opened up and the fuss gets bigger, it will become a major issue whether the United States can still collect fees for patents that extend to other countries.
Anyone can be a hooligan. You have taken the lead in doing this. Why can't I do it?
Especially in China, a country that is very good at ‘imitation’.
It's just a lawsuit. Even if you can't get the International Court of Justice to side with you, you can still delay time indefinitely.
After all, you have already made a start and have examples for reference. No matter what happens, you must consider the impact.
After all, there is still business to be done between countries. You can be a rogue, but if you are too rogue, no one will play with you.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the eyes of this president with a cool hairstyle, the smartest thing about the other party is that he applied for all the patents in advance.
This puts them in a dilemma.
It is impossible to give up the interests in the lithium battery field, but how to get a share of it needs to be reconsidered.
...
On the other side, Huaguo, Jinling.
Xu Chuan is preparing for a press conference in a few days.
The paper he posted on arxiv and the press conference released by the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute caused a tsunami-like sensation in the battery and battery-related industries.
Of course, this sensation did not appear next to ordinary people. Ordinary netizens could only take this news lightly and sigh that he actually started to engage in chemical materials research.
But for people in the industry, it's completely different.
"Dear Professor Xu, I am the director of Advano Nanomaterials Company in Louisiana, USA. Our company is mainly engaged in the lithium-ion battery industry. Our company is very interested in the paper you published on the arxiv website about artificial SEI thin films.
Are you interested in starting technical cooperation with our company?"
Xu Chuan: "If you have ideas, just come to the press conference on May 30."
"Well, our company may have been overlooked by you and did not receive the invitation letter. Could you please Professor Xu and send us one?"
Hearing Xu Chuan say this, the other party said with an embarrassed look.
Xu Chuan: "Sorry, this is not something I am responsible for. If you need an invitation letter, please go to the Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute."
He hung up the phone and couldn't help but rub his temples.
Another person called him to discuss cooperation.
Since he posted his paper on arxiv, different companies have called him almost every day to discuss cooperation.
However, the vast majority of these calls are from second-hand dealers.
It's the kind of skinny company that wants to get the patent license for artificial SEI film from him, and then sell it to get the price difference.
To be honest, Xu Chuan would still be happy if the patent for artificial SEI films was licensed to serious battery companies.
On the one hand, he can get returns, and on the other hand, he will not disrupt the development of the entire industry too much.
As for these second-tier dealers, they are not agricultural products. They need middlemen to help sell them all over the world.
Let's just forget about making a profit on artificial SEI film. If we reject the middleman, wouldn't it be better for him to earn more by himself?
As for the idea of setting up his own factory to produce artificial SEI films or even lithium batteries, Xu Chuan has not never considered it.
However, after thinking about it for three times, I finally gave up the idea.
First of all, he is a scientific researcher, and his main focus should be on scientific research, rather than being a businessman.
It is necessary to make money, but if you devote all your energy to making money, you are really sorry for the chance of rebirth given by God.
What's more, top breakthrough scientific research will inevitably have monetary effects.
As long as there are scientific research results, there will never be a shortage of scientific research funds.
And to be honest, although R&D in the materials industry generally recovers costs and makes money through confidential commercial activities, there are relatively few patent applications.
But for him, applying for a patent and collecting patent fees is the best way.
This will inevitably expose some things, and imitations may soon appear, thus affecting patent fees.
But if you want to rely on the things in patent documents and papers to 100% restore the core product, it is basically impossible.
After all, whoever applies for a patent will throw away the entire core complete process.
Isn't it normal to delete some material ratios during the manufacturing process?
Just like the formula of black gunpowder, if the ratio is incorrect, the black gunpowder produced will only go off for a while, but its lethality will not be much.
The same goes for artificial SEI films. The correct manufacturing process cannot be found. Although the manufactured films can also inhibit the formation of lithium dendrites to a certain extent, the efficiency of lithium precipitation and transport of lithium ions is far behind.
In addition, there is another more critical point.
This technology was not fundamentally developed by him.
This artificial SEI thin film technology was obtained from other laboratories in the United States due to his rebirth. It was actually only a few years away from its actual development.
Maybe even that research institute is already studying this thing.
If he doesn't hurry up and apply for the relevant patent now, he really won't be able to make any foreign money when the other party comes up with it.
Moreover, commercial harvest reporting without applying for patents is generally done for materials that are difficult to reverse.
The artificial SEI film in his hand, as long as the other party gets the battery, judging from the current laboratory research on lithium batteries and lithium dendrites, I believe it will not take long to imitate various films.
Although it may not achieve the same performance, the price war alone will make his income much less.
Rather than bothering like this, it is better to apply for a patent directly.
It can not only make money, but also choke the opponent's neck.
If the other party is really shameless and imitates and produces it on its own, then it can go to the international court to file a lawsuit.
Winning or losing is actually acceptable.
If you win, you can win a sum of money.
If he fails, with his current status and reputation in the scientific community, he can make this matter a big deal all over the world. Losing some money can reduce the reputation of the United States, which Xu Chuan is still willing to do.
What's more, the performance of the imitation artificial SEI film will definitely not keep up with the original product.
If the performance is worse, the service life of the lithium battery will be worse.
In addition, there is the influence of electrolyte concentration, which Xu Chuan did not include in papers and patent application documents.
With these things as a guarantee, I believe consumers will choose.
