Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 54 Can't Save, Wait To Die

Half an hour later, the bedroom.

Ethan, who collapsed on the bed, stared at the ceiling with dull eyes. The yellowed walls still bore traces of time.

But at this moment, Ethan didn't have the heart to pay attention to this at all, because his mind was already occupied by the turbulent information.

The teacher Wenton mentioned by sister Evelyn Johnson turned out to be the co-inventor of the TCP/IP protocol?

Isn't this special code the father of the Internet!

This is the top group of scientists in the United States!

A real boss who can influence policy formulation and even legal amendments in the future!

Such an awesome character is actually my sister's backer?
Oh--

Ethan Jones covered his mouth, trying not to laugh out loud.

But no matter how hard he tried, the sound of 'Ho Chi Ho Chi' still slipped out from between his fingers.

Although it sounds a bit indecent, but he is really happy!
As a time traveler, he might not have golden fingers, but that doesn't matter, right?It's the same if you have thighs to hug!

After Ethan Jones laughed, he gradually calmed down and pondered Evelyn Johnson's words.

In fact, when Evelyn Johnson stated that Barbara Babcock had selfish intentions for Vinton Cerf's help, in order to strengthen the relationship between the two parties and make a wave of long-term human investment, Ethan In Jones' heart, surprise had actually risen, surprised at Barbara Babcock's frankness, surprised at Barbara Babcock's approach.

As a lawyer, she did not pursue the ultimate financial interests. This kind of behavior is indeed out of place with America, which is rich in vulture lawyers, but her fine control of connections makes her superior. .

money?

This thing may be enough for her.

Extending her influence to every corner of America is the greatest pursuit of a person like her.

"It seems that the people of Niubi are Niubi everywhere!"

"A person who has the ability to change the world is the best social resource in the world?"

"Wow, this theory is really practical."

Ethan Jones, who was lying on the bed, felt a little emotional, but at the same time, he also found that he had indeed made some mistakes.

Everyone who really plays with technology has a heart to change the world. They care more about their own inventions than anyone else. In this case, they will choose project investors carefully.

And in the process, when they discover that there is still a kind of investor in this world who can already help others realize their dreams without finalizing their personal interests, they will definitely brandish their projects and flock to them!

Helping Chuck Paido solve the MOS 6502 patent problem may be sacrificing his own interests.

But if things come to pass, then Ethan Jones will definitely have a good reputation in the technology circle!

At that time, Ethan Jones believes that as long as he dares to start an investment company, those technologists who want to start a business will dare to flood him with projects!

Help and generosity with examples, that's what entrepreneurs are looking for!
"Extraordinary! This reputation is better than money!"

"Sequoia Capital is in Niubi, which is only a nominal angel investment, and what about me?"

"My dear sister, you are trying to push me towards a saint!"

Now that he decided to help Chuck Paido, Ethan Jones didn't hesitate any longer, got up and got out of the room, then quietly came to his sister's bedroom, and gently knocked on the door.

The sound of "bang bang bang" seems to be a call to the future, but it is more like a farewell to the immature self.

"Why?" came an annoyed question from inside the room.

"Evelyn, when are we going to see Teacher Barbara?" Ethan Jones asked with a smile.

"Aren't you not going to help?" The yin and yang voice came out, "Yes~ I'm so snobbish~"

"Sister~ I was wrong~" Ethan Jones is a person who knows his mistakes and corrects them.

While admitting his mistake, he also took out a piece of paper from his pocket with great backbone, and recited the speech he just wrote: "Sister~ I have never been to college, I have not received higher education, and I don't know enough about the world. It is deep, so the considerations when doing things will be limited due to the relationship of vision. After listening to your words just now, I have already deeply realized this problem, and I think what you said is very reasonable, so..."

"Squeak~"

Before Ethan could finish reading the cheat sheet, Evelyn pulled the closed bedroom door open from inside.

At this moment, she has changed her clothes, and she looks very capable in her shirt and jeans.

But this situation caught Ethan unexpectedly, he clenched his right hand violently, hid the note, and at the same time raised his left hand slightly to say hello.

"Hi~"

"Hmph~ I'm not sincere at all."

Evelyn muttered something, then got out of the room and went downstairs first.

"Let's go~ I just called Barbara, she is at home now, just let us go directly."

…………

Barbara Babcock lived in Palo Alto, just a few minutes from Los Gatos.

When Ethan stopped in front of a three-story villa according to his sister's instructions, Mr. Barbara, who heard the noise, had already opened the door to welcome them.

After a brief exchange of greetings, she invited the two of them into the room again, brought out fruits and coffee, and served desserts and snacks. Ethan and Evelyn were a little flattered by the spontaneous enthusiasm.

After expressing politeness repeatedly, the three of them got into the topic. Since Ethan had already made up the idea on the way when he came, his description of the problem was clean and neat.

Only three points—

1. I found the cheapest central microprocessor in the world.

2. The front-end version of the central microprocessor has been determined to infringe the patent of others. The patent owner has sued the research and development party, and the two parties have also reached an out-of-court settlement. The research and development party waives all rights of the front-end version and compensates the patent Fang 20 US dollars.

3. It is precisely because the front-end version of the developer has the problem of patent infringement, so they re-developed the current new version. This new version is very easy to use. If it is introduced to the market at a low price, it will definitely be of great help to the current It has had a huge impact on the personal computer industry, but because of patent issues, the research and development party has been reluctant to officially release it.

Summary: I was moved by the selflessness of the developers and wanted to help them, so I would like to ask you if there is a way to get a patent for their new version of the central microprocessor.

When Evelyn Johnson heard Ethan Jones say that she admired people like Chuck Padre and decided to help, she immediately pursed her lips as she leaned on the sofa and almost laughed out loud. .

Ms. Barbara Babcock, who listened carefully, didn't notice the details of the girl. After listening to Ethan Jones' description, the law professor with blond curly hair pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose directly. Confused.

because she felt...

Ethan is messing around.

"Ethan, are you kidding me?" Barbara asked.

"Mr. Barbara, why do you say that?" Ethan was a little puzzled.

"Because there is no answer to your question!" Teacher Barbara leaned back, spread her hands, and said, "You just said that the research and development party and the patent owner have reached a settlement on the infringement of the previous generation chip?"

"Yes." Ethan nodded.

"Then this matter is very simple. The research and development party has admitted to the world that they have indeed infringed other people's patents!"

Barbara raised her voice and said: "In this case, they are based on the re-development of infringing products. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is infringement!"

"The point is, in terms of naming new products, they actually adopted the naming method of the previous generation of infringing products?"

"Oh my God! Isn't this a disease of the brain?"

"You may think my wording is a bit inappropriate, but I want to tell you that the logic I am talking about now is the logic of the judges and jurors in the court!"

"They don't understand technology! The only thing they can understand is the product code! If MOS 6501 has been determined to have infringed Motorola's 6800 patent, then when Motorola sued MOS, saying that 6502 also infringed their patent, because just looking at the code name, you know 6502 If it is a continuation of infringing products, the judges in the court will think that Motorola is right!"

"Their thinking will be like this - if MOS 6502 is not infringing, why can't it be changed to a new name? Do you have to name it after the product that has been confirmed to be infringing? When your R&D company feels that your new product is not much different from the previous one How can you convince the judges in the court that MOS 6502 is not infringing?"

Barbara crossed her legs, her face was full of speechlessness——

"If there is no continuity in the naming, then you can ask professionals to identify it and let them judge whether the two chips have a high degree of similarity, and when the naming has continuity..."

"There is no need to fight this lawsuit, MOS will lose."

"It's not a question of whether they infringed or not, but a question of whether their brains are normal!"

At this point, Barbara stopped.

After pondering for two seconds, she said, "Ethan, let me give you a suggestion."

"You don't care about this kind of thing."

"A chip like MOS 6502 can't save it."

"Wait to die!"
