Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 279
The next day, 10:[-] am.

Kyoto University, Department of Classical History.

There are four figures sitting in the small teaching and research room.

"Have you already launched an action?" Beiyuan asked in surprise, looking at Professor Shimokawa in front of him.Originally thought that after the temporary farewell that day, Xiachuan would wait for his reply before making a decision. Unexpectedly, within these three days, he had already made his own decision.

"Yes." Shimogawa scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "Maybe it was the Chinese spoken by lawyer Kitahara that day. It was a bit inspiring. So, my brain became hot. Now, I have submitted to Kyoto University The Academic Ethics Committee of Fujimura has made a formal appeal against Fujimura's plagiarism of my ancient books. The university has already replied to me yesterday, and they will start a disciplinary hearing this Friday."

There are several notices sent to the complainant by the University Academic Ethics Committee on the desktop.These include "Instructions for Participating in Disciplinary Hearings", "Letter of Integrity and Promise", "Confidentiality Agreement", "Notification of Disciplinary Hearing Members", and "Notification of the Date of Disciplinary Hearing".Sheet after sheet of documents, stamped with the bright red stamp of Kyoto University, exudes the majesty of this famous university in the East, and the school's internal disciplinary process has officially started.

Beiyuan looked at the sheets of paper on it, picked them up to read, and frowned slightly.If the university's internal disciplinary procedures are to be followed first, then whether the lawyer can intervene will also become a problem.Right now, it is still a little difficult to handle.

Shimokawa stared at the papers and said, "I want to file an academic ethics complaint against Fujimura within the university. If Fujimura still refuses to admit his mistakes, then I have no choice but to formally sue."

While talking, the associate professor spread his hands helplessly, "However, at this moment, the war has officially begun. In the past two days, I met other teachers from the Humanities Graduate School in the school cafeteria, and they all seemed to be hiding. Like a plague god, avoid me. There is no other way."

Beiyuan continued to read the relevant documents of the Kyoto University Disciplinary Hearing Committee in front of him, his eyes scanned the lines of text, and then fell on the name of the chairman of the hearing committee.

The hearing was chaired by Professor Hisaku Utsunomiya.

Kitahara raised his head and asked, "Does Shimogawa-sensei know this Professor Utsunomiya?"

"I only know that he is a professor of the Faculty of Law at Kyoto University." Shimogawa shook his head, "I am basically not familiar with the teachers of the Faculty of Law. The only one I have come into contact with is the law teacher who studies the history of the ancient legal system. As for other law professors, their Most of the research fields are modern law, which is basically not in line with the classical history I study. Therefore, there are very few exchanges with them.”

Miyagawa read the name "Utsunomiya" beside him, fell into thinking, and then seemed to recall something, looked at the man beside him, "Kita... Kitahara, do you remember? Professor Utsunomiya used to I’ve been to the University of Tokyo to give lectures on intellectual property.”

Turning on the phone, tapping the screen, Miyagawa searched for Utsunomiya's information.

Soon, a webpage with the personal information of the law professor at Kyoto University emerged from the phone.

Hearing what Miyagawa said, Kitahara also stood beside Miyakawa quite curiously, staring at her mobile phone, and browsed Utsunomiya's profile.

A photo appears on the phone.But the man above was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and his temples were a little white. However, the silver hair not only did not make the man in the photo look old, but also made him exude an indescribable majesty. Just looking at it makes people feel that he has extremely deep qualifications.

Professor Utsunomiya, aged 58, is the vice president of the Oriental Intellectual Property Research Association.He has written books and papers under his name, served as the editor of many important legal journals, and participated in the legislative process of many intellectual property laws and regulations in Toyo.At the same time, Utsunomiya is not only a theoretical scholar, he is also a famous lawyer.23 years ago, the international treaty for the protection of intellectual property rights of integrated circuits had just been passed. Relying on his status as an associate professor at Kyoto University, he represented a domestic semiconductor company at that time and initiated the first intellectual property infringement lawsuit against integrated circuits in Toyo. noisy world.

After reading this information carefully, Beiyuan felt that Kyoto University should have carefully considered the candidates.Perhaps because of the difficulty of intellectual property rights in ancient book collation, such a famous professor of intellectual property law was specially selected to serve as the moderator of this disciplinary hearing.

Kitahara's finger pointed at the screen of Miyagawa's mobile phone, and scrolled down to the bottom of the page.

Immediately, a dynamic news is seen under the profile of the character.

News headlines slowly scrolled out from the side of the phone's screen.

The eye-catching blue font reads "Congratulations to Professor Utsunomiya of the Faculty of Law for being awarded the Hamilton Foundation Distinguished Professor"

Click again to enter this news, and then see the first paragraph of text:

"Professor Utsunomiya of our school was recommended by Vice President Takeuchi as a special professor of the Hamilton Foundation. The Hamilton Foundation is a commemorative fund set up to commemorate the famous intellectual property law scholar Hamilton. This fund cooperates with all over the world. We cooperate with law departments of well-known universities to bring together first-class intellectual property scholars and students from all over the world to fund their research and visiting activities.”

In a large paragraph of text, the words "recommended by Vice President Takeuchi" are particularly glaring.

When Miya Chuan saw this passage, he opened his mouth involuntarily, and his two crescent eyebrows knit together immediately.And... this Takeuchi again? !

Why can I see him everywhere? !

"What's the matter, Saeko?" Hirose who was at the side asked with some puzzlement when he saw Miyagawa's expression, "Did you find something?"

Kitahara coughed slightly, looked at Shimokawa, and said, "I'm afraid there is some bad news to report. This Professor Utsunomiya also seems to have a close relationship with Vice President Takeuchi. According to my previous understanding, Fujimura was the one who got Takeuchi An important henchman who was elected as the vice president. If this is the case, then it is very likely that Utsunomiya will also know Fujimura."

"This... is that so?" Shimokawa smiled wryly, "No way. This is Kyoto University, one of the highest institutions of learning in the entire East. It's... impossible to have hands and eyes at the level of the entire university, right?"

Beiyuan stood where he was, looking at the scenery outside the window of the teaching and research room, feeling a vague premonition rising in his heart.From the moment he walked into this historic Toyo University, he felt a repressed atmosphere.This leisurely campus now seems to be tightly entwined by an invisible monster stretching out its tentacles, making everyone living in it feel a kind of suffocation.

The question is, how big is this invisible monster hiding in the university?How long can its tentacles stretch?

Friday's disciplinary hearing seems likely to be difficult to handle...
