Wang Zhendong suddenly asked, making Hou Changfa stunned.
"Whose regulations? Vice Minister Wang, this is the regulation of our Ministry of Electric Power. In fact, many departments in our country have this regulation, and the Ministry of Industry must also be the same!"
"Haha, right? In 1984, our country passed the "Patent Law of the People's Republic of China", which is clearly stated in this law. If you don't know, I will explain it to you now. Article 11 of the law states
: No unit or individual may exploit its patent without the permission of the patentee, that is, it may not manufacture, offer for sale, sell, or import its patented design products for production and business purposes.
Article 60 stipulates: Exploitation of the patent without the permission of the patentee will infringe the patent rights and cause disputes, which shall be resolved by the parties through negotiation; if the parties are unwilling to negotiate or the negotiation fails, the patentee or interested parties may file a lawsuit with the parties.
If the court files a lawsuit, it can also request the patent management department to handle it. When the patent management department determines that the infringement is established, it can order the infringer to immediately stop the infringement and require it to compensate the infringement in the amount of 10,000 to 1 million.
"
Wang Zhendong was not polite and even spoke out about the patent law in front of everyone.
Except for Jiang Botao, everyone was stunned.
"Patent law? What does this mean?"
It is now 1989, more than four years have passed since the country promulgated the patent law, but this law is basically useless.
This is not to say that there are no legal benefits. It is no joke for the state to enact laws. It is just that it is very difficult to implement.
Liu Lang applied for patents for his Transformers model and the "Slam Dunk" comic, and the country approved them. However, the market is still flooded with all kinds of pirated copies, and even if he wants to protect his rights, he can't do it because he really can't catch them.
, even if the pirates are caught, at best they will be fined several thousand yuan and sent to a "classroom" for three months, and then move to another place to continue the work after they are released.
This is a copyright patent, and the same is true for technical patents. Many people have applied for it, but there is a lack of specific protection.
One incident in 1985 is very telling. A technician from a factory in the capital invented a process that could forge parts with a much higher precision. However, his process did not bring much profit. This is not to say that the company did not
In terms of income, he does not get any benefit personally. At most, the factory rewards him with a few hundred yuan at a time.
At this time, a small personal processing factory discovered such a technician, so it contacted him secretly and asked him to help work on weekends. He was paid more than 300 yuan a month, and the more than 300 yuan was already with him in the original unit.
The salary is almost the same.
Of course this man was very happy, so he went to work in a private factory on the weekends. The parts he manufactured soon occupied the market. His original factory suffered a big impact. The director of the factory discovered the "internal knowledge" upon investigation.
"Ghost", so he called the police. The police arrested the worker and the local court sentenced him to one year in prison.
If a worker quits his job, is it still illegal to use his patent to make money? So he applied for an appeal and hired a lawyer to defend himself.
The lawsuit lasted for more than a year, and he was eventually acquitted in the second instance. However, he was fired from the factory and labeled as a "traitor."
This incident caused quite a stir in the country at the time. Many people felt that he was justified, but others believed that what he did was a betrayal. Although it was not illegal, it was not worth promoting.
This is a kind of collective consciousness "at work". The country has always paid attention to the "overall view" since ancient times. In everything, the country and the monarch are the most important. This is not to say that collective consciousness is not good. It is precisely the establishment of this collective consciousness that has formed the Chinese nation. Relying on this
This consciousness defeated one enemy after another.
However, the "overall view" cannot be used everywhere. In the environment of technological innovation and market economy, this "overall view" precisely hinders the development of science and technology.
As for the patent, a person worked hard to invent a new technology, but it was taken away by others with the excuse of considering the overall situation. In the end, he got nothing. Who will invent and create as time goes by?
Moreover, some state departments are the ones that best utilize this collective consciousness, even to the point of being “outrageous”.
A colleague of Liu Lang's previous life told him something. In the 1990s, this colleague was an engineer in a manufacturing factory, and the factory manufactured high-pressure pipes.
The director of this factory was originally the backbone of a state-owned enterprise. He was good at thinking and innovating. After several years of exploration, he created some small mold manufacturing processes. The products manufactured through these processes have some advantages in the market and are better in quality than others.
State-owned enterprises are doing fine.
The company did well and gradually became famous in the same industry, so it decided to bid for pipe fittings from a certain state-owned power plant. The bidding process was as Hou Changfa said. The company had to "explain" all its technologies clearly. If
If the other party doesn’t understand, you still have to be responsible for the church. If you can’t explain clearly, then sorry, your company will be out of business.
The director of this company didn't think much about it. The other party was the Ministry of Electric Power. He was just a small business and his arms couldn't twist his thighs. He just did whatever he was told. So he "explained" all his craftsmanship without reservation.
During this period, the Research Institute of the Ministry of Electric Power also sent people to the company to "observe" it on-site until they learned it.
Later, this company did not get a contract from the Ministry of Electric Power. Although the factory director was a little dissatisfied, he could not afford to offend him, so he could only suffer a silent loss.
Less than half a year later, a product similar to his suddenly appeared on the market. The technology was exactly the same as this company, and the price was cheaper. More importantly, this product was contracted by a company under the Ministry of Electric Power.
The company manufactures, and the person in charge is actually the person in charge of that bidding.
It is self-evident what this means. The director of this company was so angry that he wanted to come to him for comment, but would this be useful? Later, when I asked about it, I found that not only his company, but also many colleagues were like him.
The core technology has been "robbed" by the other party. As long as it is useful, the other party will take it with peace of mind. Do you want to go to court with them? Sorry, the result is that you lose and there is no chance of winning.
The end result of this company is that it cannot survive a few years later and can only declare bankruptcy. However, the company of the Ministry of Electric Power has been prosperous for nearly ten years. It has no choice but to take away the core technologies of many companies. Others still have
Talents can be put into production directly after being brought in. The scientific research funding is basically zero. In addition, they have the support of the Ministry of Electric Power behind them. Who can compete with them?
Until their technology fell behind again, it was already the new century. In the new century, the country has attached great importance to patent property rights. This situation will never happen again, but people have made enough money, even if the company goes bankrupt, it is enough.
But now, if we look at the companies that worked hard and tried to make a difference through diligence, more than 80% of them have long since passed away. It cannot be said that it is 100% because of the other party's plagiarism, but it also has a lot to do with it. The key is that they may
From then on, I gave up on the path of independent innovation because it was useless!
Even your competent departments are here to rob me, so why should I spend so much energy on scientific research? Many companies even spend money privately to buy some of their core technologies from each other.
