Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 595 The Secret of Kyoto University

What exactly is stored on this hard drive?

In the Shinkansen train collision, a note was left in the Eto car that was almost destroyed. The note eventually led to a hard drive stored in a university lab. What kind of secrets are buried in this.

Kitahara wanted to know the truth. A treacherous and cunning person like Eto would never take advantage of others unless absolutely necessary. The reason why I risked being discovered or obtained by someone and recorded it is that it definitely contains some kind of heavyweight secret.

Beiyuan couldn't figure it out. Why was Eto able to thrive at Kyoto University and become a trusted confidant of Okawara and Takeuchi? So much so that after the 500 million yen warehouse receipt incident broke out, Kyoto University even became his refuge. If he hadn't tracked him down all the way, I'm afraid Eto could have continued to live happily in Kyoto.

Why on earth?

A barrister who is not a well-known lawyer can be protected by the powerful academic circles in Kyoto.

Maybe the answer lies within.

Even the secret of the 500 million yen pledged warehouse receipt is in it.

"Sakagami! Are the results out?!" Beihara looked at the time on his phone and couldn't help but urge. Almost 20 minutes have passed. Even though Kyoto University is in a state of turmoil at this time, security cannot sit idly by and watch such an expensive and large-scale experimental device at risk of being destroyed.

Between the sirens, Kitahara even had the illusion of hearing the footsteps of security guards outside the venue. The young male lawyer would look warily at the entrance of the underground experimental site from time to time.

"It's coming! It's coming! Don't rush me!" A girl's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Created one technological breakthrough after another for Toyo.

One form after another emerged inside.

After all, the experience of coming to Kyoto was too thrilling.

Everything is about to come to light.

In the Naniwa Internet Cafe in Tokyo, Sakagami had already used almost all the computing power that the computer could use to decode the file. Even the hacker girl couldn't help but become curious about what this file that was deliberately blocked with garbled code was.

Okawara, this Kyoto engineering scholar is regarded as almost a god.

With a "pop" sound, the hacker girl directly hit the enter key in her hand and sent the document to Beiyuan.

Beihara thought so in his heart.

The documents did not contain the corruption accounts he had imagined.

The cracking progress bar finally reached 99.9%.

Kitahara thought that it might contain information about corruption account books, recording how small internal gangs divided the stolen money and the flow of stolen money. Considering that Kyoto University’s industrial and research enterprises were previously traced to money laundering activities involving smuggling. Maybe this hard drive contains this information.

On the contrary, it just lists patented technical solutions one after another.

Beiyuan quickly read the information in the document, but his brows furrowed slightly.

Kitahara saw a document received on his phone and immediately clicked to proceed.

Sakagami didn't have time to satisfy her curiosity. She knew that the lawyer brother opposite was already at a critical juncture.

The next second, a brand new document suddenly appeared in front of Sakagami.

His eyes quickly swept inside.

These patents belong to Okawara's laboratory.

From criminal detention by the police, to three lawsuits against Kyoto University, confrontations with the Accounting Inspection Office and the District Prosecutor's Office, the serious injury attack on a female reporter, and the life and death confrontation with Eto at the castle tower. This series of events brought Beihara's spirit to the point of near exhaustion.

The document opens.

He was always calm, but his fingers could not help but tremble.

He broke the technological blockade of the West and was hailed as a scholar who helped Easterners stand up again and be on an equal footing with Westerners.

Although the previous turmoil among industrial and research enterprises caused some troubles to Ogawara, it only took some time for Ogawara to regain its foothold. There is no way, after all, he is the "God of Engineering" of Japan and a key figure in Japan's technological catch-up.

In front of me is the patent information of Okawara Laboratory.

There is nothing special about this patent information. They can all be found on the Patent Office website.

All patents and corresponding technical solutions need to be disclosed in the patent office.

The only difference is that this document contains many marks for the technical documents disclosed by the patent office.

The document in the table is divided into two columns.

One column is Okawara's patent information, and the other column seems to be invention patents from other Western university laboratories.

Line after line of text and diagrams display only extremely boring industrial technology information.

It doesn't seem like anything special.

What exactly is this document trying to express? !

Beiyuan suddenly became anxious. Could it be that after going through a lot of hardships along the way, this is all you get in the end? !

Suddenly, there was a flash like fire.

Suddenly the darkness ahead lit up.

Just at this moment, Beihara suddenly understood what this document wanted to express. After understanding this, the male lawyer couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Because he discovered that what was happening in front of him was far beyond people's imagination and was even more terrifying than the so-called corruption of industrial and research enterprises.

This document compares Okawara's patents with Western patents.

A word came to Beihara's mind——

【Improve invention】

The so-called modified invention is an invention that is absolutely prohibited by patent law. In order to protect innovation, if an invention is registered as a patent, others cannot imitate or plagiarize it. However, being too protective of an invention can sometimes stifle the motivation of others to innovate. Therefore, in order to strike a balance, the Patent Law further stipulates that as long as a new invention has a technical feature that is different from the existing patented technical feature, then this new invention can obtain new patent rights.

For example, an existing patent has four important technical features. A new invention, even if its three important technical features are the same as an existing patent, but as long as one technical feature is different, then it can be legally registered as a new patent.

As for this legal system, some people soon found loopholes. That is to improve inventions. In other words, as long as a person changes one of the technical features of an existing patent to make it worse and worse, thus making a difference, then he can register it as a new patent. This is the so-called improved invention.

To prevent patent protection from ending up as an incentive for people to continually improve their inventions. Therefore, an improved invention is an invention prohibited by patent law.

The comparison table of the document in front of me is trying to illustrate:

Of the 531 inventions produced by the Okawara Laboratory, 522 were improved inventions! ! !

They all modified Western inventions and then re-registered them as patents in the East.

It was like a thunderous explosion.

The world lost its voice after the loud noise.

fell into an absolute silence.

This document shows a cruel truth:

Kyoto University is an important town in the Japanese engineering community, and Okawara is the soul figure who has high hopes of breaking the monopoly of Western technology. Every year, the Okawara Laboratory spends at least billions of yen in astronomical expenditures. It is said that the recent Okawara Laboratory has launched an impact on the field of chip design. Not only academic circles, but also many newspapers and periodicals place Okawara as the soul of industry.

And now, this document says:

all fake.

The 522 improved inventions were all invalid.

This is the truth about Okawara Laboratory.

This is the truth about Kyoto University.

In an instant, Kitahara suddenly remembered that after the Morimoto case, Ogawara once said to himself with blue veins on his head: The people of Japan need a god. Don't care who is on the altar, they just need a god! ! Only with one god can they unite! !

Okawara's words seemed to echo in his ears again.

Improve bad invention——

This is the truth behind the altar.
