Chapter 418 Invincible Advertisement
In the repeated accusations, the four companies conducted preliminary calculations on the sales of the Tuning King 21 version several times, and accurately calculated the actual profits of Shimai Technology after deducting expenses.
In addition, many algorithms are listed, combining actuariality with economics and other factors, and a total of 800 million yuan in compensation is proposed.
"During the infringement process for more than a month, we tried to communicate with Shen Chong, the actual controlling shareholder of Shichui Technology, many times, but never succeeded. It was not until four days ago that we had a direct conversation with Shen Chong for the first time. The negotiation situation was as follows..."
"To sum up, we believe that as the controlling shareholder of Shichui Technology, Shen Chong is well aware of the facts of infringement and breaks the law..."
"In order to protect originality, our country officially joined the Global Intellectual Property Protection Alliance in 1997. During these 21 years, the purpose of improving the law is to protect originality and creativity. The value of copyright is an important asset on which we rely on. We hereby solemnly declare that we want to defend our legitimate rights and interests!"
The acting lawyers of the four companies completed the 20-minute plaintiff's statement in a strong tone, telling the facts, and citing the classics and making sense.
Not only that, during the plaintiff's lawyer's statement, one document after another was submitted.
There are patents and copyright certificates, as well as tax audit documents. All documents are stacked in eight stacks, each stack with a thickness of more than half a meter.
It is difficult to fight patent and copyright lawsuits, but it is difficult to obtain evidence on the one hand, and the amount of information is even larger.
The workload of preparing materials alone is so terrifying, and it is no joke that it takes several months to prepare.
The four companies can prepare so much so quickly because they have rich experience in copyright lawsuits. Most of the information submitted is proof of their own copyright, and these information has always been well prepared.
There is not much evidence collection material related to infringement, but it only seems that all the information is piled up together and it seems to be quite intimidating.
A huge jury took over the batch of materials and began to conduct on-site reviews in a intensive manner.
After listening to the media and the public in the audience, they felt indignant and secretly stood up for the four major companies.
Even viewers who watch live broadcasts on TV and the Internet have a balance in their hearts that are biased towards the four major companies.
At the same time, the presiding judge announced the defendant's statement.
Shen Chong turned his head and looked at the lawyer Jian Bingxin next to him, and nodded slightly.
Jian Bingxin began to make a statement.
"We have different opinions on the prosecution's statement. As early as a month ago, my client had repeatedly proposed to the plaintiff's company to purchase the genuine version. The plaintiff ignored it and proposed a sky-high asking price far higher than the industry standard. The plaintiff's quotation is as follows... Therefore, the plaintiff's behavior violates market laws and is suspected of monopoly hegemony."
"In line with the principle of respecting copyright, we have made concessions many times, but the plaintiff saw that my client company was running well and was frustrated with profit. He completely cut off authorization negotiations and instead asked for copyright investment. The plaintiff's valuation of our company is as follows..."
"When our offer is reasonable, the plaintiff's company forcibly terminated the negotiations and proposed more than 60% of the harsh conditions for United Holdings, domineering and bullying people with power. This is an unreasonable act of aggression and extremely bad!"
"The plaintiff's company is aggressive, violates business rules, kills innovation and creativity. No company founder can accept this condition!"
"In the development of Shichu Technology, the four copyright companies have never had any positive help effect. Why do you forcefully obtain controlling equity?"
"This is hegemony! Not copyright! The essence of patent copyright is to protect innovation, and cannot be a tool to shackle and restrict social development and progress! The plaintiffs united to build copyright barriers, bully the small, attempt to control the market, block the life of small and medium-sized enterprises, and violate Article 27 of my country's Anti-Monopoly Law..."
"We operate legally and rationally. The plaintiff uses hegemony to forcibly control the shares, and maliciously lowers the corporate value of our client and offers a humiliating price. Who is violating the market economy? Who is monopolizing the barriers to restrict development?"
Now, everyone knows that Shichu Technology will definitely lose the case, but it does not mean that there is no need to sue.
Shen Chong still had to argue and keep pushing down the compensation amount, and the other party asked for 800 million. Shen Chong believed that as long as he could reach less than 200 million or even 400 million, it would still be a victory.
Losing less is winning!
Thanks to the professionalism and huge logistics support of Pulin Law Firm, although the situation is almost one-sided, Lawyer Jian also tried his best to list evidence, changing the concept of Tuning King's use of sound sources into user calls, reducing the responsibility correlation of Shichu Technology.
Then Jian Bingxin quickly switched the attack target to the calculation of excessively raised losses of the four major companies.
After Jian Bingxin finished the calculation, the mentality of media people and listeners changed again, and they all felt that the four major companies were aggressive and did not give a way out.
As a small entrepreneurial enterprise, Shichui Technology is indeed powerless to resist.
Therefore, public opinion is a matter of opinion. Even if the masses know that they are being walked from east to west, they understand the truth, but their mood is inevitably influenced.
Everything has two sides. It is useless to just talk about emotions and reasoning. Everything must form a chain of evidence, based on facts and the law as the criterion. This is the necessity for the existence of the court.
There was a verbal battle in court for a while, and this was simply a battlefield where there was no sword light, but actually a flesh-and-blood flying.
The trial is different from the quarrels on the street that can be used at will. Every word said in the court will directly affect the outcome of the case.
Mr. Shen was so full of bags that he heard it.
When Fat Girl spent a lot of money to hire Pulin Law Firm earlier, he still thought it would be too expensive.
Now he understands that it is really a blessing to hire such a lawyer team.
If he had come to court for himself, he was useless to talk and he would dig into the pit dug out by the plaintiff's lawyer at all.
The court was closed at noon and the court debate continued in the afternoon. The evidence link between the two parties gradually improved, and the accounting data gradually became detailed. The audience who watched the live trial broadcast all day gradually felt that it was about to come to a conclusion.
Shichu Technology will definitely fail. No matter how well their weak position is, it is useless. Infringement is a certain fact.
In the hearts of everyone, Shimao Technology is like a small sampan in the storm, or like a dwarf who fearlessly challenged the four evil giants in mythological stories. The courage is commendable, but it is useless.
Public opinion and the public are gradually turning towards the doomed loser Shichui Technology. Audiences gradually realize that infringement is infringement, but the software Tuning King does have its innovation and uniqueness, and its value may even be greater than the massive sound source held by the four major copyright affiliates.
However, audience appreciation and recognition cannot be helpful in court.
People who are paying attention to this in the business and music fields know more. In their opinion, Shimakeng Technology's situation is extremely short-lived.
Once you lose, the ban in the lawsuit will not only not end after the trial, but will even evolve into a real full ban on sale.
The sales of the Tuning King 21 version were completely choked. Combined with the fact that Shichu Technology, which was exposed on the Internet, was involved in real estate and invested heavily in building a "music theme park", the fool can also calculate that the company is about to enter a situation where the capital chain is completely broken.
Industry insiders sighed, no matter what the trial result is, Shen Chong will eventually surrender and give up 6667% or even higher shares to achieve the goal of making the company survive.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the presiding judge said loudly: "Next, a verdict will be announced on this case!"
The clerk said again: "Everyone stands up!"
Presiding Judge: "This court believes that the plaintiff's accusation against the defendant Shichui Technology and its legal representative and equity holder Shen Chong is established! The products developed and sold by Shichui Technology are infringing on two-point one version of Shen's tune king are established! A fine should be imposed! In accordance with Article 83 of the "Intellectual Property Protection Law", Shichui Technology and Shen Chong themselves were sentenced to compensate...the company 100 million yuan...100 million yuan...50 million yuan, with a total compensation of RMB 350 million yuan! Have you heard clearly by the defendant?"
Shen Chong and Jian Bingxin looked at each other, then raised their right hand high, "I want to appeal."
The final judgment amount was much lower than the total 800 million yuan declared by the four major companies for the first time, but it does not mean that Shen Chong must recognize this.
If you pay, I can pay.
But we have to talk about the specific amount of compensation slowly.
In addition, what he couldn't accept the most was that even if he lost money, the four companies still did not agree to grant authorization according to the market price.
Losing money will not allow Shichu Technology to regain its freedom.
The purpose of the four major companies has never changed.
So, Shen Chong and Fang Shiyue’s idea was very simple, let’s drag it.
I can't drag you down!
Shichui Technology was dissatisfied with the judgment and requested to appeal to the Intermediate People's Court. This was also expected by the four major companies. After all, how could it be so easy for hundreds of millions of things?
But they are not nervous at all. You still have to ban the sale anyway. The music park you are going to build has already started. Let's see how long you have spent!
In court, Shen Chong turned his head and glanced at everyone in the four major companies and smiled.
Are you really planning to wait for me in the Intermediate Court?
Stop dreaming, you will have to come and lick me soon!
He took a deep breath and turned to the camera responsible for live shooting. There were a large number of reporters in the camp over there who raised their guns and cannons.
Shen Chong laughed loudly and said, "By the way, I will announce another thing again. This Sunday, June 10th, our company will launch the Shen Family Tuning King 30 Goddess Enhanced Edition and the 31 Male Goddes Enhanced Edition. Two new versions will be launched at the same time! The price is 68,888 respectively! This time, there is no limit, and there is no infringement!"
There was an uproar.
You will be fined 350 million immediately and you are actually advertising in court!
You are afraid you are a god!
People from the four companies were speechless. The male god version? The goddess version? What does it mean? What are you going to do?
Be serious, this is the court!
Shen Chong's confident expression fell into their eyes, making them feel a little wrong.
Intuition tells them that they may have been fooled.
Shen Chong had no intention of winning the lawsuit at all, he just came to lose.
The reason why he knew that losing the lawsuit would have a negative impact, but he responded to the request of a live broadcast of a public trial, which could have been rejected was for the present sentence!
He was invincible in this advertisement.
Chapter completed!
