Anna's judgment was very accurate. Bullock really didn't last three days...

To be precise, at about 4:30 in the afternoon of the second day, Bullock, who had been waiting all day for a hot woman, dialed HT's phone number. On the third day, accompanied by a lawyer, the entire copyright transfer contract was signed

signed, and the final cost was only $22,000.

"Jon! Come and see if this thing can be patented? When I bought it, the other party said that there is no software patent protection now, only copyright. Take a look..."

After transferring the personal reward of eight thousand US dollars to Anna, Carter stood at the counter and called Jon. At the same time, he handed Jon the contract contents that had just been faxed from Seattle.

"I thought that since I bought this software, I should also get the patent rights. However, they said that they did not register a patent. They said that it was a patent recognition within the computer software and they could not do it. See if they

Fool me."

"I'm not very clear about legal matters, boss. But I seem to have heard that it's very difficult to apply for a patent for software now, or that it's almost impossible to apply for a patent, because code is something that those old-timers think are the same, and think you can write

Yes, others can write it. And it is not an entity, a tool that can truly create actual value and promote the progress of social productivity."

Looking through the code list and the improvised operation manual that came with the fax, Jon suddenly let out a light sigh:

"This looks like cp/m! The operating habits and instructions are almost exactly the same!"

"This is indeed designed based on the cp/m operation manual, but its designer told me that apart from the appearance, the internal logic, instructions, code, etc. are actually different. Is there any legal risk with this?"

"Wait a moment, I'll take a closer look and then try... I guess I can give you a reply tomorrow?"

"No problem! Thank you for your hard work!"

Can't register a patent...

Carter feels a little regretful. Without patent protection, the income he can create with it may be much smaller if it is just copyright protection...

...

...

"Jenny, I'm back! Laiwen, why are you getting off work so early today?"

"I have a day off today and I didn't go to work at all, hahaha! Come and have a rest and drink some water!"

Patting the sofa next to him, Lai Wen laughed. He was very satisfied with his current life...

"Carter! Your sister called and said that she will be back to do some errands in two days. Come back early then! It's been half a year and you don't know that my girl is out there..."

"Don't worry! She's fine now! Didn't I meet her half a month ago in Memphis, when Genus... Oh, even her current boss praised her for her abilities!"

Taking the water glass from the messenger, Carter deeply felt the family status that money brings.

"At first I didn't quite believe it, and I wanted to test whether she was really as good as what Jinus and the others said, and it turned out that it was completely true! I just wanted her to go to college first, but I couldn't persuade her. You can help me later.

Please advise!”

"Really? You didn't lie to me, did Anna really have that much power now?"

Jenny, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen with a look of disbelief. After seeing the letter next to Carter, she seemed to have thought of something and said:

"Laiwen, have you told Carter about buying a house?"

"You bought a house?!"

"Aunt Jenny, don't..."

Carter and Lai Wen were both shocked when they suddenly heard this topic. In Carter's view, even if the police in the United States are well treated, housing prices are not high now. Plus, Georgia is not New York, Massachusetts or California.

This is the richest state per capita.

Buying a house is not a big problem, and it is not as scary or out of reach as the houses in China in the future. But, you are so talented, how long do you work?!

The training ended in June, and it's almost October now, so it's only been three months. You...

"No, no, how can I afford to buy a house now? I don't even have enough down payment! It's just..."

After exclaiming, Laiwen's face turned red, and he looked at Carter waving his hands repeatedly and explained:

"That's the house I saw in the residential area on the outskirts of the city... Isn't Dog Real Estate a company under your name? I just want to ask you if you can build two more houses, and then... then sell them to me and Bray.

A house in Deli. Don’t worry, the house price will be whatever it is when the time comes, and we won’t take advantage of it.”

"What are you talking about, Carter..."

As soon as Jenny heard the slightly raw words in the message, she immediately pretended to be angry. Then... she glared at Carter...

"I... no problem. It's two houses. It's cheaper to build them in batches now. I'll advance the money to buy them later, and then you just pay me back. I'll charge you the cost price of 30,000."

I don’t know if it’s his own misunderstanding, but Carter feels that as his business grows bigger and bigger in Douglas, Jenny is now becoming more and more domineering...

From the work problem of Li Kelis before, to the house problem of two relatives, Lai Wen and Bradley. I used to feel that the relatives in movies and TV dramas were ridiculous, but now it is my turn to face...

That feeling of powerlessness is getting stronger and stronger!

After all, they are all relatives after all, and judging from the current situation, they have not made any excessive demands. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the new residential construction in Douglas is a one-time project based on needs.

There will be almost no redundant development. If we don't take the opportunity to put forward the demand, after the future residential area is completed, the engineering team will be withdrawn to build the highway. There is no hope of buying such a high-quality and low-priced house...

But after smelling this sign, Carter's idea of ​​​​escape from Douglas became stronger and stronger.

Leaving Douglas is neither short nor long. It’s less than a year, but during this period, life still needs to continue!

"Boss, it's confirmed! This software has nothing to do with cp/m, at least not in terms of core logic! It's the same instruction, and the surface input may be the same, but the conversion function that converts our human verbal instructions into computer language, qdos

Completely different from cp/m!”

The next day, Jon, with dark circles under his eyes, went to Carter to report the test results.

"You mean, they are only superficially similar, but the core is completely different?"

"right!"

"Then can I roughly understand that these are actually two completely different products. They are just wearing the same clothes?"

If the core is different, it is confirmed that this is not a plagiarized product, so there will not be much legal risk. Even if it is sued for infringement by cp/m, the threat is not great.

The surface operation is similar to that of cp/m, which can lower the threshold for its use, which means it reduces the difficulty of promotion!

Combined with his judgment when purchasing qdos, Carter became more and more convinced:

I found a treasure myself!

"Yes! They are different products. For example, there is a very famous chocolate spread in Italy. Its name tells you that it is hazelnut spread, but its texture and taste are the same as chocolate spread. It is the same as chocolate spread.

The relationship is like cp/m and qdos, the taste is similar or even the same, but the inside is completely different!"
