Chapter 128: Apply for a patent for tearing off a famous brand
The fallen leaves tell the thoughts of farewell in the bleak autumn wind, and condense into frost against the slowly flowing moonlight in front of the window.
Autumn in Hollywood is also coming quietly and unknowingly.
After dinner, Ye Ming went to Sister Fang and asked, "What happened to the patent we applied for? The US Patent Office didn't make things difficult for us, right? If my guess is correct, today should be the day to issue us a patent certificate."
"
Sister Fang Fang made a gesture that everything was fine and said: "There is no problem with this. Our American branch has been doing this since last year, but I don't understand. If we do it like this, will it be useful to us?"
They may not necessarily approve it. If you apply for a patent for tearing off a famous brand, they are not fools. Will they definitely approve our patent?"
Ye Ming nodded very firmly and said: "Don't worry about this, I dare say, they will definitely agree. After all, at this time, we are all doing this in accordance with legal procedures, and
, we have a backer, the Quantum Fund’s legal team is doing this, and the U.S. Patent Office should give us some face.
Apart from anything else, you said that Jackson's dance breaks away from gravity. In fact, such a dance may not necessarily appear to be particularly difficult. If it is said that there are auxiliary tools, it is possible to achieve this dance.
There are many people, but why was Jackson able to apply for a patent? It was because it was unique. At this time, Jackson's dance was innovative.
Therefore, the patent was granted to him. Of course, without the help of auxiliary tools and wires, there are very few people who can achieve the level of Jackson. That is why the patent office gave them a patent.
What we are applying for is just a prop for tearing off famous brands, not this game. The rubber pencil is just a small piece of eraser added to the pencil, which is also patented. The multi-socket socket is actually a single hole put together, but it is also patented.
ah.
As long as others have not thought of it, we have thought of it. In such a situation, it is a patent. Therefore, in this case, the reason why we tear off famous brands should be a patent, and our acupressure board is also a patent.
patent.
The principle of traditional Chinese massage is a no-brainer. Americans don’t accept this, but if we apply using game props, they think we are just part of the game, and it will be very easy to pass.
The United States has always encouraged this kind of divergent innovative thinking. Every year, at least thousands of worthless patents are approved in the United States, but Americans still enjoy it. This is the gap, that is, the gap between us and the Americans.
gap."
Ye Ming didn't mean to plan for a rainy day. In fact, he also thought about filming Running Brothers. That is to say, he didn't know what kind of situation he would be able to film this variety show. But if he applied for a patent early, this would not work.
The question is. Therefore, in fact, the US branch of Huihuang.com started applying for jobs last year, and the deadline is today.
Sure enough, things were exactly as Ye Ming expected. Someone from the American branch of Huihuang.com called to report that the U.S. Patent Office had approved Huihui.com's two patents on name tag tearing and acupressure board.
Moreover, Ye Ming's applications for these two specialties have been approved by more than 130 countries around the world. This is to get these two patents directly. In the future, even if someone wants to use this
Ye Ming was able to sue them to the point of bankruptcy with a game prop they owned.
Therefore, in such a situation, when Ye Ming heard the news, he smiled in a modified manner. This thing was what he dreamed of, and all problems were in his own hands.
At this time, many people in China are paying attention to Huihuang.com and Huihuang Film and Television. Even if Ye Ming went to the United States, everyone still pays the same attention to Ye Ming's company.
Therefore, when Ye Ming's patent application was approved, many reporters began to pay attention to why Huihuang.com obtained two patents like this. Moreover, what kind of patents are these two patents?
.
They have been announced in the National Patent Office for more than half a year, and they actually said that only after the people from the Patent Office approved it did everyone find out that these two patents belong to Ye Ming.
The two game props of tearing off the name tag and the acupressure board are actually very simple. If it is a work, maybe it means that the acupressure board still has a certain technological content, but tearing off the name brand is very simple.
, as long as there is Velcro, the rest can be done by a tailor.
But it was this simple idea that forced Ye Ming to apply for a patent directly.
At this time, many reporters called to ask why there were these two patents and what they were used for.
The publicity personnel of Brilliant Film and Television have already received Ye Ming's order early. As long as they can apply for a patent, they can directly tell the media about these two patents.
Therefore, reporters have already received news that these two patents are for two props that will be used in the variety show Running Brothers. Specifically how they are used, this is a commercial secret, owned by Huihuang Film and Television.
The publicity staff did not disclose it, but they said that after Ye Ming comes back from the United States, a promotional video will be played. By then everyone will know what the acupressure board and name tag peeling are used for.
Everyone was still confused. In fact, after listening to the introduction by the publicity personnel of Brilliant Film and Television, almost all reporters, readers, and viewers were a little dumbfounded. What kind of game props are the two game props? Ye Ming again
What's the point of selling it?
Miaomiao called the little landowner and said: "This matter was ordered by Ye Ming. Even if it doesn't make money, it must be done well. Wawawa has already done the part she is responsible for. We
"The two of us cannot fall behind."
The small landowner in the village also said with confidence: "Don't worry about this. In such a matter, I have prepared enough supplies according to Ye Ming's instructions. When the program starts to be broadcast, it will be done quickly.
Occupy the market. It can be said that Ye Ming has never suffered a loss in doing anything. This time, following him can also make some pocket money."
This is actually Ye Ming's second back-up plan, because he knows that even if he applies for a patent, once the show "Running Brothers" becomes popular, game props such as acupressure boards, name tags, etc. will definitely be copied.
, especially in China, the scale of copycats is estimated to be huge.
Even if Ye Ming applies for a patent, under such circumstances, it is impossible to say that it can stop copycats.
Therefore, Ye Ming used a trick to remove the firepower.
Since I have applied for a patent, I will authorize some regular manufacturers. Let them produce in advance, and then use massive shipments to occupy the market. If it means that once consumers in the market form inertia, then consumption will
It's very scary.
Just like Steve Jobs's Apple, it's okay to replace it once a year. If you use an Apple a lot, there will always be no problems in two or three years, right?
However, once a new Apple model appears, there will still be crazy Apple fans who are willing to switch to new models.
Therefore, under such a situation, if Ye Ming seizes the market with massive sales, even if there are people copying acupressure boards and tearing off famous brands, it will be difficult for everyone to use which brand.
Changed.
Especially in the game, Ye Ming will also use his own genuine products. When the time comes, people will naturally buy more genuine products instead of copycat ones.
Miaomiao was also very confident and said: "This is true, but I think the simple acupressure board game is okay, and the intermediate one is simply torture. If Ye Ming also plays this game
, then I really want to see what his expression is like when he plays intermediate."
Meow Meow plays acupressure board, just to say that he has reached an intermediate level. It already means that he feels that this acupressure board is a very cheating game. What's more, there is an advanced version of acupressure board, which is simply not something that normal people can play.
game.
The small landowner in the village laughed loudly and said: "Do you know what the doll is doing? This girl is playing with high-end acupressure boards. As a result, her feet are still unable to go to the ground. She is recuperating in the Maldives. It's a pity that she can only enjoy it abroad.
It’s time for Ye Ming’s latest show.”
Wawa, Miaomiao, and the small landowner of the village are the three elders of Ye Ming's fan group. Under normal circumstances, the actions of the fan group are actually completed through the three of them.
In such a thing, the doll was too enthusiastic, and as a result, his feet became swollen. It is true that this acupressure board cannot be played for a long time. Ye Ming also reminded the three of them, but when the doll was playing
She was so excited that she got injured, and she was so angry that she flew directly to the Maldives for vacation.
On Hollywood's famous Avenue of Stars, Ye Ming had already applied for a venue in advance. He directly applied for a venue right in front of the Chinese Theater to shoot his own show.
In a place like Hollywood, it's normal to apply for a location to film a show.
And Ye Ming is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild, which is also organized in Hollywood, so his application will be easily approved at this time.
When shooting anything in Hollywood, there are basically very few people watching, because everyone is used to seeing celebrities, and they feel that celebrities are no different from normal people. Therefore, unless the person is a superstar, 20 million
He is a superstar among superstars in the salary club. Otherwise, in such an environment, it would be basically impossible for a large number of people to watch.
What's more, Ye Ming's group of people are all Asians. Although Xu Qing and others are relatively popular in Asia, they really haven't attracted too much attention in Hollywood.
Even if it's because they are of yellow race, the Hollywood crowd will leave after just two glances. Are they a TV series producer?
What is there to make a fuss about, even if it is a yellow race, it is not established, there is no Li Lianjie, of course, the guy named Ye Ming, maybe he looks familiar, what is Luo in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a robber?
Of course, in such a situation, in fact, in the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, everyone just said that they remembered two and a half people. One is Fa Ge, and this one is a star who has already opened up the market in Hollywood.
Another one is International Zhang Zhang Ziyi.
This half is Ye Ming. No matter what, Ye Ming has indeed become a familiar face in Hollywood with Li Yu's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
It's normal to say he has a semi-familiar face. Anyway, there are basically no people watching in Hollywood, and everyone is very professional.
Ye Ming dared to film here openly and set up a cordon. There was no police to stop this, which shows that Ye Ming actually applied for it. Since Ye Ming applied for this matter, no one else can bother to take care of it.
Of course, after all, there is not an entire audience.
Because there were many strange things on the venue, acupressure boards. Of course they didn’t know that these things were called acupressure boards, but it didn’t stop them from admiring them. They guessed what this was, a new prop for filming movies?
Anyway, there were not many people watching, but there were at least two of them. At this time, Ye Ming had already led Xu Qing and the other six people to rush over in a mighty manner.
Cameras, cranes, and even, what is that, a drone? Good guy, the equipment of this crew is very complete.
There is also the drone thing, which is not very common even in Hollywood. I heard that it is in the research and development stage and has actually been used for filming.
Xu Qing walked all the way, very relaxed. In the United States, she is basically not worried about being recognized, unless she meets Chinese tourists. Such a mood is very relaxing.
No one will ask you for an autograph, and no one will look at you strangely. Therefore, in such a situation, her whole mood relaxed. What Ye Ming said was correct. When she arrived in the United States, there was no such thing as
When people recognize you as a star, you will be integrated into your team as quickly as possible.
However, when Xu Qing arrived at the shooting site and saw the acupressure boards on the Avenue of Stars, a bunch of props such as hurdle jumping, rope skipping, etc., and the acupressure boards on the ground, Xu Qing was quite surprised. Could it be that here
Is it your own shooting location?
I have to say that, in fact, women's intuition is very sensitive. Therefore, at a time like this, what Xu Qing had been worried about still happened.
Ye Ming introduced to everyone very solemnly: "Everyone, please pay attention, this is the filming site of our first episode of Running Brothers. Welcome to Running Brothers. I will experience a very special event with you."
