The so-called patent trap can generally have multiple explanations.

For example, if you deliberately apply for some technical patents that are immature, technically flawed, or even unrealistic in patent applications, in order to mislead companies that follow R&D, this is a patent trap.

Or for a certain future technology, register all its improvement technology and peripheral technology around its core patents, and then wait for future generations to crash into this net. The prey in the net may pay high patent fees, or let huge R&D funds waste and complete a perfect final victory, which is also a patent trap.

Or maybe it is a patent that is legally invalid after the competitor's technological development obtains a patent, or it is detonated by a patent mine. This is still a patent trap.

Patent traps are not a specific concept, and there is no clear definition in academics, but they really exist in reality and are widely used. Because Chinese companies adopt a catch-up strategy in international trade, they often have blind eye-catching heads into this trap. Hu Wenhai is a long-term illness and becomes a doctor. It is impossible to do technology in China to be clear about this aspect.

The patent vulture Robert is such a world-class lawyer known for his patent trap lawsuits.

Hu Wenhai spent a huge amount of money to invite people from thousands of miles to China, but not just weaving a patent barrier for water lithium batteries, but setting a trap for a future goal.

With the trap, the prey inside is naturally only available for everyone to control.

"Patent Trap?" Robert's eyes lit up, and he knew that this business would not be so simple. In the face of huge rewards, there must be an unprecedented job waiting for him. But this not only did not make him feel afraid, but instead felt a sense of adrenaline secretion.

"How. Is there anything wrong with Mr. Robert?"

"You are Boss. Of course you have the final say!" Robert showed off his snow-white teeth and smiled: "I have no problem, I just can't wait."

"Okay, I'll continue."

Hu Wenhai organized some language and continued: "We want to make a relatively complex patent trap. Once this paper is published in a scientific journal, someone will definitely try to repeat the experiment. I want you to design a patent trap network specifically for this immature water lithium battery solution. But the only way to mislead the basic patent of water lithium battery itself. In addition, a series of unverified patents have to be registered, which creates a misleading approach on this technical route, making some people think that this technical route is very promising..."

"Well, but this will generate a handling fee that is twice as high as the current patent fee!" Robert had to remind.

Normally, it is already amazing to apply for thousands of patents a year for a world-class multinational company. And any company can't weave a patent trap in one go. Instead, it is a long time to improve the technology while investing in patent registration fees. In this way, the financial pressure is not obvious.

But Hu Wenhai did this. The cost of the entire patent case is at least 15 million US dollars, and you can buy half of the -14 fighter jets! Don’t forget that this was the eve of the Square Agreement in 1985, when the US dollar bubble was at its peak.

"Money is not a problem, I think you should know that we have Grumman as a guarantee of ability to pay."

Robert swallowed and nodded, "This is true."

The lawyers and lawyers also need to be timid. Without Grumman's matchmaking, how could Little Loyle hire a top international patent lawyer?

"Okay, if there is no problem, I hope to see the plan for this plan today." After that, Hu Wenhai took his hands behind his back and left the office.

Behind him, Robert was holding a pen in his mouth and pondering at the paper he took out.

Walking out of the small building of the technical department, Hu Wenhai breathed and got on a yellow Tianjin Dafa van. In this small van, people are now crowded with people.

If you look closely, there are some technicians in the technical department of the 501 Factory, such as Chen Qianzhe, sitting in the fourth row, holding a book reading.

In the second row of seats, there was a person Hu Wenhai had to smile and please.

"Uncle Lu, I'm so embarrassed. This New Year's Day made you come here to help so early."

Lu Yinglong waved his hand and smiled, "Don't say that. I heard that American experts came to help assemble your production line. I'm here to study."

"Hi, Americans' technology is just that." Hu Wenhai curled his lips. In terms of automation level, Americans' technology in the 1980s may not be much better than Byd's.

The yellow dafa van started and drove the people towards the gate of Xinke Factory. The sky was already bright and it was time to work.

At the gate of Xinke factory, large trucks were carrying boxes of equipment continuously entering the factory. More than a dozen soldiers wearing military coats and red sleeves were waving the colorful flags in their hands, guiding the cars one by one to where they should go.

If anyone who doesn't know this scene may think that the army is training, or the logistics force is purchasing and organizing transportation.

But in fact, it's almost the same.

This truck team was a car company transferred from the military region. Standing there in the military police commanding the traffic, busy unloading the goods were the guards of the 40th Army Command, and engineering soldiers gathered in the square in front of the factory building.

The entire Xinke factory now seems to have become a military camp.

More than a dozen foreigners wearing suits and yellow safety helmets were scattered throughout the loading and unloading site at this time. Each of them held a form in their hands. After checking the unloaded equipment, they marked the form.

With a thud, Hu Wenhai opened the door of the van and jumped out of the car. Several foreigners saw his shadow and hurriedly ran over.

"Dear Hu, I didn't expect your workers to be so efficient!" A foreigner in his sixties who was in his trunk gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "This is the best disciplined loading and unloading team I have seen. We can quickly count the equipment and then strive to install and debug all the equipment within one month."

"Then please Mr. Paul." Hu Wenhai pulled off his gloves and shook hands enthusiastically with the old man.

This big-nosed American old man is a former chief engineer who retired from Vitality and is now providing temporary services to a system integration company called Bellbeck.

These equipment are the results of Hu Wenhai's list, then bidding by Loyle, and bidding by several system integration companies. After a series of scoring and research, the final solution provided by Bellbeck Company is the general manager who is temporarily hired by Bellbeck Company for high salaries in order to fulfill the contract.

"Let me introduce it. This is Professor Lu Yinglong, the chief engineer of Xinke's production line." Hu Wenhai casually put a high hat on his future father-in-law and pushed him in front: "According to the agreement, Belbeck Company must train our workers, and at the same time pass the acceptance of our chief engineer, before it can be considered as fulfilling all the contract requirements. In other words, whether the services provided by your company satisfy me, Professor Lu has the most say."

"Xiao Hu, I..." Lu Yinglong was stunned. It was not that he couldn't understand English. He was a bit pursuing automation. At least he still had to understand English. He might not be able to speak, but there was no problem with listening and writing.

Lu Yinglong was a little confused. Didn’t he come to help? Why did he become the main person in charge of the project in a blink of an eye?

But under the urging look of Paul's hand and Hu Wenhai, Lu Yinglong had to shake hands with the other party in a daze.

"Please rest assured, we will definitely provide services that satisfy you." Paul solemnly expressed his opinion to Lu Yinglong.

"Think lure, lure areele!"

Lu Yinglong, who had never greeted a living American, searched all his mind and only found these two words that suited him...

"Xiao Hu, what's going on? Why did I become a chief engineer?"

After coaxing Paul and his group down, Lu Yinglong pulled Hu Wenhai anxiously and asked at a loss.

"I can't do anything about this, Uncle Lu, just help!" Hu Wenhai pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Look at the technical department of our new science company, it's good to have a junior college student. How can there be a person who can take on the main role? I've been searching for it, and only Uncle Lu can take on the position of chief engineer so that the Americans will not be deceived. In the end, the country will waste foreign exchange, right?"

Haha, it seems like Mr. Hu is open and he can't pick out old experts with high automation level in the military industry. However, Lu Yinglong doesn't have that deep understanding of the Hu family. He thought that Xinke Company is really just an "ordinary" private enterprise. Although pure blood private enterprises these days, this is already extraordinary enough.

When he thought that the equipment exchanged for precious foreign exchange might be idle due to insufficient technical strength, Lu Yinglong had to reluctantly nodded: "Okay, then I'll try it. However, American equipment is different from that of domestic ones, and I don't have much confidence in me."

"It's okay, Uncle Lu just let it go, I have confidence in you."

He was not afraid of something wrong, Hu Wenhai smiled in his heart. It was not difficult for him to settle these equipment at all, but even if there was no problem, there would be some minor problems in this production line from time to time in the future.
