Chapter 9 Lin Feng's Counterattack

As for the other party wanting to snatch his own technology patents?

If I just draw a rough drawing and then claim that I developed the product earlier than you, then the patent is mine. What is the use of patent law?

It is true that such absurd things did happen before the 21st century, and there were also cases of successful patent usurpation.

But that was in the past, and even if the so-called design draft drawings were real, they did develop the handwriting robot half a year ago.

But this is not direct evidence, it can only be regarded as an important supporting evidence to prove that they did develop the handwriting robot half a year ago.

This important evidence alone is not enough to seize your own patent, because the ownership of patent rights under patent law is usually determined based on the "first-to-file principle" rather than the "first-to-invent principle."

Unless they have evidence to prove that Lin Feng stole their invention and then registered the patent first, it is possible to rule that the patent belongs to them.

But Xingtu Technology and Zhisuo Technology are two completely different companies, and neither he nor his employees have any experience of working for Zhisuo Technology.

Of course, in addition to the evidence of employment, there is other evidence, but he really does not know the other party, and there is no record of any chat communication with the other party on the Internet.

Even so, the other party still wants to snatch his patent. This is simply ridiculous!
If the Daxia Patent Office really determines that the patent for the structure of the one-line writing and drawing robot belongs to Zhisuo Technology, then the Daxia Patent Office will become a laughing stock around the world!

Therefore, in this potential patent lawsuit that has not yet erupted, Lin Feng has actually won without fighting, and there is no need to think about the outcome.

It can only be said that Zhishou Technology was blinded by the huge profits and actually believed that it could usurp his technology patent through public pressure and a design draft drawing.

But if someone slaps you, you have to slap him back.

So at noon of the second day after two well-known UP hosts on B station, 'Ancient Times Installer' and 'White Wine Tom II', released the video, they took advantage of the fact that the popularity was at its peak.

After Lin Feng completed the B-station certification, he used his personal B-station account "Lin Feng on the road to stardom" to post a video titled "I'm not afraid of hooligans who can fight, I'm just afraid of hooligans who can be cultured. Not every company can become an NPE patent hooligan!"

The timing of the release of this video was just right, as the traffic for the handwriting robot patent incident was at its peak, and the number of people paying attention to the incident reached millions.

As word of mouth spread and Bilibili's homepage recommendations, driven by netizens' curiosity, Lin Feng's video received as many as 180 million hits in just half a day.

What is even more surprising is that after many people finished watching the video, they also followed Lin Feng, wanting to know the subsequent developments.

So in just one day, the number of followers of Lin Feng's personal account on Bilibili quietly reached 40, creating a miracle and making countless UP hosts envious and jealous.

After all, the number of users of Bilibili in this era is actually not that large. It has not reached the level of 2024 in the previous life, and the number of users is also not as large as Youku.

Having 40 fans means that Raymond Lam has reached a high level. As for the top level, that means having more than one million fans.

……

"The boss of Xingtu Technology actually released a video?"

The netizen "Zhang Wencheng is a former name" was very surprised when he saw the relevant information from the comment section of his favorite UB host "White Wine Tom II".

So out of curiosity, he directly used the B station software on his mobile phone to search for Lin Feng's name, and then a newly released video with 203 million views appeared in front of him.

The name of the video is "We are not afraid of gangsters who can fight, but we are afraid of gangsters who can educate. Not every company can become an NPE patent gangster!"

"What is NPE, and what is patent troll?"

Out of curiosity, the netizen 'Zhang Wencheng is a former name', who had never known what NPE and patent trolls were, first checked the UP host's account, and after finding that there was only one video, he clicked on that one video.

As the video pop-up window opened, a bedroom background with numerous books appeared in front of the netizen 'Zhang Wencheng is a former name', and in the center of the picture was a handsome and refreshing man.

“Hello everyone, I am Lin Feng, the boss of Xingtu Technology, and one of the parties involved in the patent dispute between Xingtu Technology and Zhichuang Technology over the handwriting robot.

After Lin Feng finished his self-introduction, the words "We are not afraid of gangsters who can fight, but we are afraid of gangsters who can educate. Not every company can become an NPE patent gangster!" appeared on the screen.

Then the screen went black, and background information and sound appeared in an instant. In 1995, Pitney Bowes sued HP for copyright infringement, and HP spent $4 million to get rid of the disaster!
In 2006, BlackBerry spent $6 million to reach a settlement with NTP!

Among them, NTP and Pitney Bowes are both NPE companies. The characteristics of these NPE companies are that they do not have factories and do not have their own products.

Their main business is to collect patents and resell them for profit. Then, from time to time, they would file lawsuits in the name of patent infringement, rob well-known companies and make some extra money.

You may not know that our smartphones have more than 400,000 technical patents, and a single small component may have patents from more than a dozen companies.

In this situation, no company dares to claim that all the technical patents belong to it.

Even for the Pingguo mobile phone, the proportion of patents developed by themselves does not exceed 30% of the entire mobile phone's patents.

In this case, you will always inadvertently infringe on other people's patents, which gives NPE companies an opportunity to intervene.

That’s why we often see that after an NPE company files a lawsuit, the defendant company usually takes the initiative to pay compensation to reach a settlement.”

Upon hearing this, the netizen named 'Zhang Wencheng is a former name' showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

He finally understood what NPE companies and patent trolls meant, and for the first time he knew that there were such despicable companies in the world.

“Of course, not all NPE companies are bad. There are some good ones as well. They don’t cheat people. They mainly make money by buying and selling patents and licensing patents.

For example, there are more than 400,000 patents for smartphones, and there are more than ten companies that own patents for each component, so there may be tens of thousands of companies that own patents for smartphones.

You can't possibly sign patent licensing agreements with so many companies one by one. If you do that, by the time your product is launched, it will be too late.

So at this time, a third party is needed, which holds the operating rights and authorizations of countless technical patents.

You only need to reach cooperation with this third party, which means you have reached cooperation with countless companies in disguise and obtained authorization for countless patents.

This type of NPE company is considered a good NPE company and has a certain effect on the complex patent market, but unfortunately this type of pure NPE company only accounts for a very small number.

Or to be more precise, many NPE companies are also doing the same thing, but while they are doing this, they are also acting as patent pirates.

Therefore, these pure NPE companies only account for a very small number.”

Having said that, Lin Feng in the video went on to talk about Zhisuo Technology.

"Recently, Zhisou Technology also seems to want to become an NPE company in Daxia, and asked someone to draw a blueprint of a straight-line writing and drawing robot.

They claimed that they had started the project of developing a handwriting robot half a year ago, and then they confidently said that we had stolen their technical patents, claiming that the patent for the straight-line writing and drawing robot should belong to them.

In this regard, I just want to say that even if you want to become a Chinese NPE company and learn how to scam people, you should at least be more professional.

Just draw a design drawing and then claim that I designed your PenMaster handwriting robot half a year ago. You have plagiarized and infringed my intellectual property rights, and you should give the technology patent to me.

For such behavior, I can only look at him with an expression of looking at an idiot. If a patent can really be obtained in this way, then what is the meaning of patent protection law.

Here, I would like to advise Suda, the boss of Zhisuo Technology, that those who do evil will eventually perish!

In my opinion, if a company wants to rise and become a well-known large enterprise, it ultimately depends on its hard power.

We need to continuously innovate in technology, invent and manufacture better products, and constantly optimize products and services to meet market demand.

At the same time, it also needs to establish a good corporate culture, attract and retain outstanding talents, and formulate and implement effective market strategies...

Your hope to rise quickly by using unfair means to snatch other people's technological patents is naturally doomed to never rise, because you don't have the heart to become strong!
In addition, as early as November 11, our Xingtu Technology had already submitted an application for a patent infringement lawsuit to the Zhancheng Court. In the next few days, you, Zhisou Technology, should receive a notice of the lawsuit.

The fact that you illegally infringed on more than 80 of our technical patents for profit will ultimately not escape the judge's just judgment. I hope you will take care of yourself!"
