Chapter 1549: Don’t reach out, otherwise you will be caught

After a brief pause, Chang Haonan came up with a compromise plan: "Well, Lao Song, you immediately organize people to investigate the core companies of these three forces, especially Liming Technology, as well as the details of its key controllers and related personnel."

Song Jingming immediately became alert: "What are you checking?"

"Didn't Researcher Sun just say that these companies are old acquaintances?" Chang Haonan replied, "Then we should check whether they have clear and conclusive evidence of illegal or criminal behavior in the past... such as commercial bribery, false litigation, tax evasion, illegal operations... In short, if they are all doing things within the rules, or just skirting the rules or engaging in gray areas, then there is no need for us to make any big moves..."

"it is good!"

Song Jingming had a very good understanding of the word "immediately". He even got up and left in a hurry with his things without waiting for the meeting to be over.

Then, Chang Haonan turned to the group's legal director Xu Hongtao and said, "Boss Xu, the legal department should follow my idea. If the other party files a lawsuit, we will respond. However, our strategy is: do not get entangled! Do not show weakness! Use offense instead of defense!"

Xu Hongtao pushed his glasses and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Chang, I understand your strategic intention. But I must remind you that the judicial procedures for patent infringement and ownership disputes are extremely complicated and lengthy, especially when the other party adopts this multi-location and multi-cause tactic, the purpose is to consume our time and energy... It is very likely that we will face a protracted war."

"That's fine." Chang Haonan waved his hand. "The Legal Department only needs to make minimal, procedural responses. The general principle is to never fall into the quagmire of 'patent validity' set by the other party... The real winner is not in court, but in accelerating technological breakthroughs and opening up a second battlefield."

Hearing about “accelerating technological breakthroughs”, Sun Fei showed some worry on his face: “Academician Chang, it may be difficult to commercialize domestic high-precision TEM in a short period of time... As for APT, it has just started, and even the technical accumulation is still relatively limited...”

If breakthroughs could be easily achieved in these two types of equipment, there would be no need to seek international cooperation from the beginning.

But Chang Haonan seemed to have already made a plan.

"It doesn't need to be completely commercialized." He smiled and waved his hand. "Those foreign companies may have some common interests, but their alliance has no basis of trust. As long as we increase the stakes a little, it won't be difficult to find loopholes from within."

Chang Haonan was very familiar with using some core technologies to pull one faction against another.

"Then what should we do specifically?" Sun Fei was attracted by Chang Haonan's ideas.

"If we don't consider patent and commercialization issues, can we make synthetic transformations on existing TEM and APT finished equipment?" Chang Haonan asked seriously, "We just need to achieve the mutual compatibility between TEM results and APT results."

This request was almost unprecedented. Sun Fei thought for a while before answering cautiously: "Technically it can be done."

As he introduced the process, he drew a simple diagram: "The main thing is to design a shared precision sample rod and positioning platform, and use the positioning algorithm we developed... However, the cost is very high. The modified equipment cannot be restored to its original state and can only be used for specific research, and it cannot be used publicly."

After a pause, he added:

"The most important thing is that this kind of equipment cannot achieve true in-situ synchronous measurement...TEM observation and APT analysis still have to be done in two steps, with a time difference of minutes in between, which does not meet the requirements of negative refractive material characterization at all."

"That's enough!" Chang Haonan smiled even more: "We can borrow the topic that Academician Zhang Tao's team is currently researching."

Facing Sun Fei's puzzled face, he had no choice but to explain further: "Academician Zhang and his team are working on single-atom array catalysts. Once this type of material is successfully synthesized, its structure is extremely stable at room temperature and pressure. The time difference of minutes is nothing to them..."

"As long as we can capture evidence of the orderly arrangement of single atoms, even if it's just reported by the media, it will be enough to cause an earthquake in the academic community!"

"I understand, Academician Chang!" Sun Fei's voice rose unconsciously, "It's feasible! Although the modified equipment has some functional defects, it is theoretically feasible to use it to observe stable single-atom arrays and capture evidence of their orderly arrangement! I will immediately organize people to start equipment modification and experimental plan design!"

"Okay." Chang Haonan nodded, "Hurry up and keep it secret!"

Then he looked at Liu Chenchen and said, "Assistant Liu, you will be responsible for coordinating resources. Give priority to whatever Director Sun needs. Also, contact Academician Zhang Tao immediately and tell him about our plan. Ask them to speed up the synthesis of the single-atom array!"

……

after one day.

In an office of the intellectual property system in Beijing.

Director Lin stared at the news push on the computer screen about "Hui Ju Technology Co., Ltd. being involved in multiple patent lawsuits", his face so gloomy that water could drip out.

He tapped his fingers on the table irritably, cursing in his heart that Xiao Liming was an idiot who valued money over his life.

I have already said so much, but the other party still dared to take the job.

And it caused such a big fuss.

He remembered that day at the Aman Resort and Spa, where he had clearly told Xiao Liming to stop.

In the end, the other party took the risk for money and carried out a "limited action".

In Director Lin's opinion, this is no different from sticking your head into a tiger's mouth to test it.

A strong sense of uneasiness came over him.

Many of the shady "collaborations" in the past could not avoid his "professional opinions".

If something happens to Xiao Liming, we can follow the clues to find out...

At this moment, the red confidential phone on the table suddenly rang urgently.

Director Lin's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath and answered the phone: "Hello?"

The serious voice of the superior came from the other end of the phone: "Lao Lin, let me inform you that according to the instructions of the superiors, we will conduct a special review of the recent intellectual property dispute cases involving high-tech enterprises. The key review targets include all the recent lawsuits initiated by Liming Technology, Hongtu Patent Operation, and Xinda Intellectual Property..."

"Focus on examining the rationality of the lawsuit, the integrity of the chain of evidence, and whether there is abuse of litigation rights or disruption of market order. Be sure to ensure objectivity, fairness, and in-depth investigation, and submit a detailed report within a time limit..."

"..."

The other party then made many specific requests.

But Director Lin could no longer hear anything and just responded like a robot.

When he came to his senses again, there was only a continuous busy tone in the receiver.

"Click." Director Lin put down the microphone, his hands trembled slightly, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

You are simply afraid of what will happen!

Special review and examination?

Is the focus still on the three companies of Liming Technology?

A cold fear instantly gripped his heart.

He was very clear that some of the "expert opinions" and "situation statements" he had issued to Xiao Liming and others in the past could not withstand real rigorous scrutiny in terms of professionalism and fairness.

You might be able to get away with it under normal circumstances, but in the face of this kind of special review, flaws will definitely be exposed.

"It's over..."

A desperate thought slowly arose.

After an unknown amount of time, Director Lin suddenly sat up straight, his eyes full of struggle.

He opened the drawer and found a personal USB drive lying quietly inside, which contained some things he had saved "just in case".

He stared at the USB drive for five full minutes, as if he was looking at his past and future.

Finally, he let out a long sigh, filled with endless fatigue and a hint of relief.

He closed the news page on the computer screen, opened a blank Word document, put his hands on the keyboard, and paused for a long time.

But in the end, he didn't press a single key on the keyboard.

Instead, he took out a new piece of manuscript paper and unscrewed the pen.

“Dear organization: With deep regret, I confess and deeply reflect on the serious mistakes and problems I have made in my work…”
