Unparalleled True Technology

What is Apple's most valuable?

Some people think it's a brand, some people think it's a product, and some people think it's technology. But one thing that everyone can't ignore is its patented technology.

In Wen Mingming's mind, Apple has more than 30,000 patents unique to Apple's technical knowledge. This is the accumulation of decades of the previous Apple company.

These patented technologies have been researched by Apple and acquired by other companies or developers, and they are increasing by more than 1,000 pieces per year.

Of course, because this world never had Apple before Wenming arrived, many of the patented technologies in Wenming's mind have now become patented technologies of other companies.

即便 But even so, the amount of patented technical knowledge that Wenming possesses is extraordinary.

"If I sold the patented technology, wouldn't I have to pay someone else when I wanted to use it myself?"

I lost my fishing rod and even a fishing net for a few fishes, which Wenming couldn't accept.

拿 Take the Android mobile phone system known all over the world, although it is a free open source system that any manufacturer can use, it is not free to use. Among the Android system, there are many patented technologies belonging to Microsoft. Every year, manufacturers of Android-based mobile phones have to pay a number of patent fees to Microsoft.

If there is an Apple company in this world, then, in fact, Apple company can also obtain a certain amount of royalties from the Android phone manufacturer.

For patents, you don't need to pay for your own use, others will pay you for it. If you don't, you can sue him.

When I returned to Apple and waited for the good news of Cui Chuanming, Wenming was thinking about how he can get more money in a short period of time.

"In fact, the most important thing to do now is to apply those patent technologies in my mind in advance."

After giving up the idea of ​​selling patented technology, Wenming suddenly thought of a problem, that is, a patent that has not been applied for is not a patent at all.

Take a company from China in the past, for example, who invented the VCD that was all the rage at the time, but closed down because of no patent application. Many people do not know that the world's first VCD was invented in China.

(Ps: Interested bosses can search Wanyan.)

除了 "In addition to arranging reliable personnel to help me apply for a patent as soon as possible, we need to find ways to make more money as soon as possible."

专业 There is a professional company that can handle such things as applying for a patent, but because there are too many patented technologies in Wenming's mind, the value is too great. Therefore, he cannot find those companies to apply for, nor can he apply for them one by one.

I thought of this, Wen Ming picked up the cell phone and dialed the numbers of Cage and Sith respectively.

Cage Qi is a student at Harvard Law School. Although it is a long time before graduation, she has a good relationship with Wen Ming and is definitely a trustworthy candidate. And Sith is a well-known lawyer. He has a better understanding of intellectual property than Wenming.

Of course, Sith is also worthy of trust.

After Wu and Cage and Sith agreed to meet as soon as possible, Wen Ming arranged for the company's employees to invest in a research laboratory.

作用 The role of this laboratory is not to 'resurrect' the dinosaur project, but to help him apply for patent protection. Although many of the patented technologies were conceived in rhetoric, more research plans and progress are needed as footnotes.

Otherwise, an ordinary person going to the patent office to apply for a spacecraft patent will definitely be driven out as a neurosis.

的 The investment fund of this laboratory was stipulated by Wenming at about 3 million US dollars. The reason why it needs so much is to purchase some professional equipment and hire some senior researchers.

地址 The choice of address is not in this warehouse of Apple Inc., but a warehouse next door ...

什么 "When can I have my own company building?"

Bian Wenming thought that Apple in the past life had not built a spaceship headquarters that was put into use, and his heart was tickling, but now he does n’t have that much money to invest in the spaceship headquarters.

After arranging this job, Cage has already arrived at Apple's warehouse headquarters, and because the lawyer for Sith is in New York, it will take some time to arrive.

"I want to hire you as an intern in Apple's legal affairs department."

Speaking to Cage, Wen Ming didn't meander, but said directly: "At the same time, I want to invite Sith to be the head of Apple's legal affairs department."

Kage hesitated for a moment, hesitating: "Wen Ming, you know, I haven't graduated yet, and probably don't have much time to help you solve the problem."

Wu Wenming smiled and said, "So, you are just an intern, a part-time intern."

After Cage was silent for a while, she nodded and said, "No problem, I believe I can do the work you gave me."

Years later, when Cage wrote his memoirs, he wrote: "I really wanted to refuse to hear the rumors, because in my opinion at the time, or in the world at the time, Apple was just a small Fortunately, the game company completed a game that was popular all over the world because of Wenming's genius. At the time, there were not many people who were optimistic about Apple's future. You know, small game companies like Apple have risen every year. Yes, there are failures every day ... "

"Fortunately, I did not decline Wen Ming's invitation, so I was fortunate to witness the rise of an empire!"

Cage now, of course, do not know how he will write memoirs in the future, but asked a little worried: "Is your company in legal trouble?"

At Cage, Wen Ming suddenly wanted to set up a legal affairs department, naturally because of Apple's legal troubles. But he couldn't imagine how a small game company would have trouble in this regard.

Bian Wenming was touched after hearing Cage's question, because Cage asked if he was in trouble after he promised to join the job. This one after the other is very different.

"No, but there will definitely be many in the future."

The Apple of Wenming's previous life, like the world's giant Microsoft, has many lawsuits every year, and often pays high fines ~ www.readwn.com ~ Of course, the litigation costs and compensation of these lawsuits, And those fines are insignificant compared to Apple's annual profit.

"Your first job was to help me apply for a patent."

After hearing the work, Cage said with an exaggerated expression: "Are you kidding me? A game company has any patents at all? Your" Plant Vs Zombies "is a small game. Is it necessary to register patents for those zombies? Or do you want to patent potatoes? "

Qi Wenming laughed: "Why not? Maybe, Plants vs. Zombies can still make movies, or other games produced by our company can also make movies."

Wu Wenming thought of the game Angry Birds. Compared to Plants vs Zombies, this game is more powerful in terms of operation. Not only is the red bird among them, appointed by the United Nations as an honorary ambassador, but also adapted into a movie of the same name, with more than 300 million US dollars in box office worldwide.

Kage sighed with some appointments and said, "I think these tasks are too simple for me. Therefore, I ask to increase the difficulty of the work, for example, to help you sue those game crackers."

The popularity of "Plant Vs Zombies" will naturally be targeted by crackers. Even in the United States, cracked versions have appeared, and other countries naturally need not say. In the network age, the information channel between countries is almost non-existent.

Wu Wenming shook his head and said, "No kidding, the patent I said is not just about games. It can even be said that the game is only one ten thousandth."

He said, Wenming drew a sketch from the draft paper on his desk: an apple with a bite.

"This will be our trademark of Apple Inc. You need to register it for me first."
