Chapter 474 Xiayin Star Calendar 1021 Small Event

"Well……"

Gu Qing fell into deep thought.

Whether it is a technology company or a financial company, the legal department is an extremely important department. It not only needs enough legal elites, but also needs enough loyalty from the department personnel.

If a lawyer who possesses a large amount of information about the company is not loyal or has strong professional ability, he is likely to be bribed or tricked by the other party. At that time, it is very likely that the loss will not be a bit of financial compensation.

Therefore, Kyushu Technology has always cultivated loyalty with high salaries and high benefits. For the newly recruited newcomers, they also start with "small projects" such as ordinary litigation cases or suing the navy, and then cultivate them step by step.

"Talent is not a Chinese cabbage in the field. If you plant it today, you will be able to eat it in a few dozen days.

Let's do it this way, promote a group of people again, it's still the old model with the new.

Whether we sue them or they sue us, how long it will take, we don't need to make a decision. In the past, it was Angsa's arrogance, but in the future it will be determined by the economic market.

That is to say, they can fight for as long as they want, we have more people and more money, it doesn't matter if we spend it slowly, we will fight until we are completely victorious! "

Gu Qing said with a smile: "We are no longer the small company that was cautiously striving for development. The more core industries we get involved in, the more fierce the opponent's offensive will be.

Their unscrupulousness shows that they are fearful. The more fearful the enemy is, the more we need to develop.

Developer alliances and comprehensive partners are just auxiliary, while core technologies such as industrial software, independent compilers, and high-tech manufacturing are what really scare the enemy.

As the project expands and its influence increases, we will only be hit more and more in the future. "

Zhou Yi nodded as if he was teaching.

He knew that following the words of the big boss, the company would spend hundreds of millions of Xia Yuan to recruit and train new members of the legal department.

In addition to more and more legal issues, not only Kyushu Technology is facing more and more siege of technology giants, but with the shift of the focus of technology manufacturing and heavy industry, in the past two years, multinational giants and Daxia domestic companies have also The action is constant.

In the past two years, although Gu Qing has been burying his head and leading the team in research and development, Xuanwu, as a mature AI, will take the initiative to summarize and analyze the news happening in the world at any time, and show it to Gu Qing.

For example, recently on January 18, Microsoft issued an official statement stating that it will acquire Activision Blizzard in all cash at a price of US$95 per share. This transaction is worth US$68.7 billion, which also includes Activision Blizzard’s net cash.

After the transaction is completed, Microsoft will become the third largest game company in the world by revenue, and owns the franchise rights of Activision, Blizzard and King Studio and its games, including "World of Warcraft", "Diablo", "Overwatch", "Call of Duty" "wait.

According to Microsoft, the deal is expected to be fully completed in the 1023 fiscal year of the Xiayin Star Calendar.

It is self-evident that this big event caused a shock to the global entertainment and game industry, but it also made Gu Qing see the business opportunities in it.

Microsoft is obviously acquiring resources that integrate gaming and entertainment, and it is bound to strike hard in the future.

And when Microsoft hit hard, Kyushu Technology suddenly came with immersive AR/VR games and neural interactive games. Will Microsoft Games and Entertainment be beaten to a slump?

Thinking about this, the smile on Boss Gu's face became even bigger. After all, the game entertainment can earn a lot of money. As long as the price of AR equipment is lowered, those players who "play bad games" can buy it. You can afford it.

In addition, in the past few months, with the decline of Facebook, the popularity of Metaverse, the rivalry between hardware and semiconductors, and the dormancy of mobile phone manufacturers, Gu Qing also thinks of those "little things" that happened last year.

For example: the reconciliation between Korea LG and Korea SK, SK is willing to pay LG 2 trillion won in compensation in order to stop the two-year lawsuit, and there will be no related disputes in the next 10 years.

Ericsson and Hansung reached a global settlement agreement and signed a multi-year global patent licensing agreement between the two companies, which includes global cross-licensing of cellular technology-related patents including 5G technology. Sales of mobile network infrastructure and mobile phones from 1st. This also marks the end of all pending patent-related legal disputes between the two parties.

And a few months ago, Nokia reached an agreement with Hanxing to authorize its video standard innovation patents. Although the two companies did not disclose the specific financial terms of the agreement, Hanxing will pay Nokia royalties. According to reports, Nokia's patent portfolio consists of approximately 20,000 patent families, including more than 3,500 5G standard essential patents.

After paying so much effort and money, one can imagine how fierce Han Xing's next offensive will be.

In addition to Hanxing, OPO and Sharp have also reached a patent cross-licensing agreement and cooperation, which covers the global patent licensing required for OPPO and Sharp's terminal products to implement communication technology standards. Then it reached a patent license agreement with NTT DOCOMO, based on which, OPO will obtain the global license of NTT DOCOMO's 3G and 4G communication technology standard essential patents.

And Xia Wei is really making great strides forward in the automotive field.

A patent licensing agreement is concluded with a supplier of the Volkswagen Group. The deal includes a license to Xiawei's 4G standard-essential patents, covering Volkswagen vehicles equipped with wireless connectivity. It is also the largest licensing agreement Huawei has reached in the automotive field so far.

In addition to the licensing agreement with Volkswagen, Xia Wei also reached a patent licensing agreement with the neon company Buffalo Inc. two months ago1, covering Wi-Fi 6 standard essential patents.

Of course, in addition to these big moves, Daxia Enterprise also encountered the "same treatment" as Kyushu Technology during this period.

A few days ago, the International Trade Commission voted to initiate a Section 337 investigation on specific active matrix OLED display devices and their components, and Beijing North was “unfortunately” involved.

The foreign company InterDigital announced that the company has initiated patent infringement lawsuits against OPO, Yijia and realme in Great Britain, India ↑↓ and Germany. The patents involved include 3G, 4G, 5G and HEVC standard-related patents. All lawsuits require jin make.

From hardware foundation to core information technology, domestic and foreign enterprises have never stopped in the past two years.

However, in Gu Qing's view, Kyushu Technology is taking the low-level path of semiconductor hardware research and development, and will face more resistance, not less.

After all, engaging in patent licensing can only be regarded as a business transaction, while engaging in low-level basic research and development is an act of digging people's lives.

Netherlands, Eindhoven.

The headquarters of AS-ML company is here.

As a leading comprehensive key equipment provider for complex integrated circuit manufacturers around the world, AS-ML's stock is listed in Amsterdam and New York respectively. Due to the big moves in the semiconductor industry during this period, its stock price has also fluctuated.
