Chapter 178 Patents
Things like taking the pulse of an enterprise cannot be settled in a short while.
But the attitude of the office staff has changed.
It can be clearly seen that the negotiation between Shen Guanglin and the office "broke down" before it even started, and everyone was in a bad mood.
Shen Guanglin lost a large amount of money for no reason, and the office did not receive any benefits.
Thinking about taking money away from Beijing University makes my scalp numb just thinking about it, no one has this ability.
Now that Beijing University is so poor, how could it possibly spit out the money it received?
In the beginning, the Department of Chemistry hid the one million yuan. Why did people from Takeda Pharmaceutical Company come to ask for it several times but to no avail? Aren't they still poor and noisy?
No one knows whether Team Leader Qin's request for help from Shen Guanglin will be affected by this incident.
However, asking Shen Guanglin for help was a request put forward by Jin City No. 3 Pharmaceutical Factory to the office. The office helped with the coordination, which can be regarded as their due diligence.
Shen Guanglin was not greatly affected. It would be nice to get to know this old Qin: "Let's continue the conversation in another place and eat while talking."
The office has helped me with all the matchmaking, but you still want to eat dumplings?
As expected, no one mentioned the matter of entertaining them to eat dumplings.
You are also thinking about how beautiful it is. After eating the dumplings, do you want to hook up with your sister-in-law?
Lao Qin said that he was here to treat a guest and we should go eat dumplings together.
However, after Shen Guanglin entered a traditional Fusang gourmet restaurant, Lao Qin began to back down.
It's not that he didn't bring enough money, but that he didn't feel the need to spend it on such a place.
Lao Qin thought and thought, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.
Come on, when asking for help, you still have to be sincere.
If the budget is overrun, it will be deducted from all team members. The most important thing is to complete the task.
The dumplings are here.
The beef slices are just accompaniments, along with sashimi, okonomiyaki and sake.
The way of eating Fuso dumplings is different from that in China. They like to fry the dumplings and eat them in one portion.
The food culture of Fusang is very similar to that of China, but different.
The biggest difference lies in the dining format, because they implement a meal-sharing system.
In China, meal sharing was also practiced before the Yuan Dynasty, and Fusang was most influenced by the Tang Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, Hu chairs began to flow into China, but at this time there were very few cultural exchanges between China and Japan, so they have not developed the habit of sitting on chairs.
Therefore, they also walk with bowed legs as a beauty.
The two of them were eating, chatting and drinking, but now they were missing a group of dancers.
Geisha is no good, too ugly.
If you can have a woman like Hanikezi dancing beside you while you eat and drink by yourself, it will be a great thing in life.
Shen Guanglin asked Lao Qin what problems they had encountered and why Takeda Company seemed so indifferent.
Lao Qin also said that his company produced a drug called Dacoplon.
This is a drug used to treat gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, anastomotic ulcer, reflux esophagitis and gastrinoma.
This medicine has low cost and good benefits, and is a top product of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Now, don’t every company have the need to earn foreign exchange? Their company also wants to develop foreign exchange earning business, so they want to export this drug.
However, they did not expect that exporting drugs would be so troublesome.
First, build the hardware facilities.
Then start construction. The dust-free workshop and sterile environment required by gmP alone cost a lot of money, and then we also need to establish a quality management system.
Once all this is done, we can finally export medicines, right?
Not to mention the various European and American certifications, which actually require the approval of Takeda.
"Why do they need to agree?" Shen Guanglin was also interested.
"What about patent protection? It has a 20-year protection period, but it has not expired. They say we have infringed."
Lao Qin looked indignant. What kind of patents? He had never considered these when producing domestic products.
Shen Guanglin is a child who grew up under patent protection. When reading novels, he only reads genuine ones.
Therefore, he strongly supports patent and copyright protection:
"That's for sure. You have infringed on other people's patents, and they haven't asked you to compensate them? How dare you come here?"
It is also commendable that pirates directly attack the doorsteps of genuine dealers. Is this a provocation?
"Takeda didn't say anything about losing money. They didn't say anything. They just don't agree with us exporting drugs?"
Of course Takeda knows they are infringing, but it is rare that they have not been held legally responsible until now.
There must be other factors involved. Takeda's failure to hold them accountable may be due to other factors being considered, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Before the reform and opening up, and even before joining the WTO, the country did not care much about patent protection.
China would not implement the first "Patent Law" until after April 1, 1985. Real patent protection has not been realized until June 2021, and it is still rampant.
For example, piracy of novels has never been stopped, and no one even cares about it.
They say the Internet is not a lawless place, don’t you believe it? That former football player was blocked for being so “awesome”, and he was completely blocked.
Is it difficult to block pirated websites? It’s not difficult at all, but no one is willing to do it.
"You came to Fusang to solve this problem?" Shen Guanglin raised his glass and signaled.
"Well, yes." Lao Qin took a sip of sake. The wine was also tasteless.
"Then you have a long way to go. No wonder others don't want to pay attention to you. If you put it on me, I will definitely not ignore you. I will beat you."
"Why are you hitting me? Also, Teacher Shen, why are you so popular in Fuso?"
Qin Bufan was also very puzzled. Everyone was from China. Shen Guanglin was a distinguished guest at Takeda Pharmaceutical, but he was indifferent when he came.
"We have different roles. You are a robber, but I am not. As you just heard, their company did donate a large sum of money to me. Why is this? It probably means that I can invent "Dark" "Pulong" comes out, you can only plagiarize."
"Are you stupid? Why are you spending that wasted money? Why can't you just use it yourself after someone else has researched it?"
"What if others don't use it?"
"Then dig some workers here! It doesn't matter whether they pay or not."
No wonder some large manufacturers in later generations have to set up non-compete agreements. Bad signs have been there from the beginning.
"Old Qin, I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter. What you are doing is not in line with my knowledge."
Shen Guanglin even thought about making a living by selling patents, but as a result, there was no such awareness in China.
"Excuse me, Teacher Shen, how come you know you can't help me before I've even finished speaking?"
Then, Qin Bufan said what they were here for.
It was also because they had approached many units and departments that Takeda finally gave in and agreed to export, but they had to pay patent fees.
If you have money to make, you can just pay a small fee and treat it as buying money.
However, Takeda proposed that you need to pay patent fees based on your production capacity, that is, not only the drugs exported, but also those used for domestic consumption.
