Xueba's Sea of ​​Stars

Chapter 311 Patent Attorneys

"Hello, Ms. Cao."

In the hot pot restaurant, Wu Bin, who successfully met Cao Yu, stepped forward and shook her hand warmly.

"Hello, Mr. Wu." Cao Yu also smiled and nodded to Wu Bin.

"You can just call me Wu Bin, it's always weird to call me Mr. Come on, please sit down."

After taking her seat, Cao Yu couldn't help but look at Wu Bin several times. As an experienced patent attorney, she has seen many big scenes, but since she became famous, she seldom talked about things in such a small hot pot restaurant.

But this didn't make her look down on Wu Bin, because the boss Li who entrusted her here was a rich man, and it was obviously not easy for a person of this level to entrust him with help.

After some simple pleasantries, Cao Yu took out a stack of documents and asked Wu Bin, "Have you ever applied for a patent before?"

After hearing this, Wu Bin shook his head and said, "No, this is the first time, oh, but the school helped me apply once before, does it matter?"

Cao Yu was shocked after hearing this. The young man in front of him looked like he was in his early 20s. Counting this time, he had already applied for patents twice. When he thought about it, he didn't look like Boss Li. He is someone who came forward for some pediatric patents, which means that this young man is probably a huge potential stock.

After a brief mental activity, Cao Yu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. Since this is your first time applying for a patent, I still need to explain some basic and main matters to you first."

"First of all, as your agent, I will handle all matters related to patent application for you, mainly writing patent application documents for you and handling all matters in the patent application process for you, as well as possible litigation on patent rights. "

"Okay." Wu Bin nodded.

"In addition, I will be responsible for extracting the technical features that can be applied for patent protection from the patent technical documents you applied for. After that, the patent right will only protect these extracted technical features, not the entire technical document. Of course, please You believe in my professional level, I will definitely extract all the technical features that can be protected."

"Oh, I have already learned about this aspect, so in the document, I also briefly sorted out the content that can probably be applied for patent protection. You can use it as a reference. Of course, it is up to you if you decide in the end. After all, you It's the professionals."

After listening to Wu Bin’s words, Cao Yu actually felt a little uncomfortable, because the most taboo thing in their business is layman’s finger pointing. It’s obvious that some patents have been repeated or cannot be applied for, but they insist on you to apply for them too. In the end, they broke up unhappy.

'I hope there will be no such intense friction with him. '

But Cao Yu said with a smile on his face, "Okay, I will definitely take your opinion into full consideration."

"However, there is one thing you need to understand. Although patents are a type of intellectual property rights, the acquisition of patent rights depends on human judgment, rather than naturally occurring with works like copyright. The technology that wants to obtain patents must be It has certain conditions, namely, novelty, creativity, and practicality."

"As a scientific researcher, you must have a good understanding of the technical content, but you may not be so clear about the relevant laws in the patent authorization process, and I will provide you with help in this aspect and help you solve the problems in the patent authorization process. Therefore, some aspects may conflict with your original wishes, and I hope you can understand this.”

"Oh, of course."

After listening to Cao Yu's words, Wu Bin really couldn't laugh or cry. It seems that his seemingly helpful behavior really frightened the person in front of him. He probably made such a special order because he was afraid that he would make some unreasonable demands.

"Okay, thank you very much for your understanding." After finishing speaking, Cao Yu picked up a briefcase and opened it and said, "First of all, please allow me to introduce myself. I am a master of power engineering and engineering thermophysics at Zheda University. Joined Liu Shen Law Firm and obtained the qualification of a patent attorney, and has engaged in a large number of patent-related intellectual property agency business.”

"These services include application drafting and submission, providing drafting opinions and defense opinions against examination notices, dealing with invalidation and reexamination, analysis of patent relevance and validity, patent search, customer consultation, etc."

While speaking, Cao Yu put various certificates and qualification certificates in front of Wu Bin.

"This is the certificate of my 14-year training and study on European intellectual property rights at CEIPI, University of Strasbourg, France."

"This is the resume of my work in material research and development at Beijing North Nonferrous Metals Research Institute."

"This is the certificate of the best agent of the year awarded by my client BOE."

"This is……"

Watching Cao Yu take out certificates one after another from his briefcase like a Doraemon, Wu Bin couldn't help being more and more surprised at the difficulty of this industry, and even more admired that Li Yan had hired such an ace agent to help him. he.

The reason why Wu Bin asked Li Yan for help this time was because he understood that his preparation technology this time was likely to bring about a huge breakthrough in the industry, and he also understood how much trouble such a breakthrough might cause him. After all, the chain of interests It's just too big.

So after carefully reading the certificates that Cao Yu took out, Wu Bin felt much relieved.

"Your resume is really excellent." After putting down the last certificate, Wu Bin said to Cao Yu with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment." Cao Yu nodded slightly.

"I really admire Ms. Cao's spirit of learning cutting-edge technologies in the industry while taking care of her work."

After hearing this, Cao Yu immediately said modestly: "It's just necessary for work. If I don't have certain technical skills, I will be eliminated soon. However, my shallow knowledge is better than a scientific researcher like you who can really make achievements." Say, it’s still far away.”

"You are welcome, you are welcome, we are just good at different fields."

Just as the two were chatting about their business, the steaming hot pot was finally served, and Wu Bin said while putting the dishes in, "I'll put the dishes in. You can continue talking."

"Then I will trouble you." Cao Yu continued after collecting a series of certificates: "Due to the special nature of the patent right, it does not arise naturally, but is artificially judged by the examiners of the State Intellectual Property Office according to the examination guidelines. In addition, the review principles for utility model patents and design patents are not harsh, and the possibility of authorization is relatively high, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions.”

“This leads to lawsuits about patent rights often appearing. For example, the patent owner sues the other party for patent infringement, and other people request to declare the patent invalid. In such cases, I need to participate, acting as an agent in court litigation or in national intellectual property rights. The reexamination committee of the Intellectual Property Office participates in the defense of the patent right.”

After speaking, Cao Yu took out another certificate from the briefcase.

"This is my lawyer's card, please have a look."

"..."

"Awesome..." Wu Bin couldn't help but sighed in his heart.
