I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Jarvis projected the materials onto the light screen, and Tony Stark saw the design blueprint of the Ark reactor at a glance, with Anton Vanko's name clearly written on it.

Stark Industries also has an identical blueprint, but it has his father Howard Stark's name on it.

"Both Mao and my country are members of the Paris Convention. As long as the patent holder registers a patent in any member state, he or she will enjoy national treatment in all member states."

"Your father applied to the National Copyright Bureau for a patent for the Ark Reactor design in 1967, but Anton Vanko submitted his application to the Russian Federal Copyright Bureau a week earlier than your father."

"Russia signed the Paris Convention on March 1965, 3, and it came into force on July 16. When Anton Vanko applied, Russia was already a member state."

"The other party's application date is earlier than your father's. According to the convention, the patent right of the Ark Reactor belongs to Anton Vanke."

"Haha!" Tony Stark sneered again.

In 1967, Anton Vanko was deported from the United States and immediately sent to a Siberian labor camp. He did not return to Moscow until the collapse of the empire, dragging his sick body. By then, his only son had already been imprisoned.

If Anton Vanke's patent had been approved by the Mao Copyright Office as early as 1967, he would not have lived such a miserable life.

Why should a prisoner digging potatoes in Siberia submit an application to the Copyright Office? They don't even have freedom of communication!

But these reasons cannot be put on the table at all. Russia just wants to insist that they issued a patent certificate to Anton Vanke, and arbitrarily change the public records to identify irrelevant items as the Ark reactor patent.

Then make an old patent certificate and unify the statements made by everyone, so there will be no loopholes at the legal level.

Because the Paris Convention contains provisions for reserving state secrets and commercial secrets, it means that some patents involving state secrets of member states and important corporate commercial secrets do not need to be filed with the Executive Committee.

Even during the public disclosure stage, these technologies that need to be kept confidential will be placed in other categories. For example, when Howard Stark registered the patent, he placed the Ark reactor in the craft sculpture category.

However, after Howard Stark obtained the patent certificate, he hung it on the wall of the Stark Industrial Building for display. Countless people have seen it over the past forty years, and the U.S. Copyright Office could not use the same method even if it wanted to.

This is a messy account that cannot be sorted out!

If it is just an ordinary patent, the member states are too lazy to use national power to make a big deal and will give the right holder "national treatment" in accordance with the provisions of the convention.

For example, in the case of "Wanyan DVD" back then, although they knew that it was their own people who suffered losses, in order to join the WTO and for the interests of more companies, they still did not step forward to help "forge" a patent certificate.

Try switching to ultra-high voltage transmission technology. No one would care about the Paris Convention.

Now it's the Ark Reactor, a new type of energy with huge profits, a military weapon that can influence the international situation. Even if Russia is mentally ill, it has to come out to help.

No matter how powerful the lawyer Tony Stark hired was, he would not be able to find evidence that Big Mao forged the patent certificate.

Damao said that Anton Vanke applied for the patent in 1967, so that was 1967. If you are not happy with it, I can change it to 1966.

In this matter, even if the Federal Supreme Court favors its own people, it can only choose to delay and delay the time of each process. It is impossible to blatantly undermine the judicial process.

"Tony, the situation is not favorable for us." Pepper Potts said in a deep voice.

"There are still two weeks until the trial, right?"

Tony Stark no longer cares about the so-called trial. He doesn't want to be led by his opponent.

"Please get Dr. Ethan back for me, as well as Dr. Stephen Strange from Langone Hospital. I need to perform surgery before the trial."

"Ah?" Pepper Potts looked puzzled.

Please read~~ Brothers, let's slide together~~

Chapter 63 It turns out that the Japanese are behind this!

S.H.I.E.L.D., Director's Office.

A press conference held by the Russian Embassy was being broadcast on the TV screen. Chekov and Ivan Vanko successively displayed patent information about the Ark Reactor, trying to prove that the Ark Reactor was the invention of Anton Vanko.

Nick Fury is probably one of the living people who knows the most about what happened back then, along with Peggy Carter who is lying in the hospital and Hank Pym who has left S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Black Egg" certainly knew that the Russian envoy was selectively releasing information, but he had no way to stand up and refute the other party, because the Ark Reactor was indeed first conceived by Anton Vanko, and then Howard Stark joined and continuously improved it. It was impossible to tell whose contribution was greater.

This also resulted in Anton Vanko's name being listed before Howard Stark on the design blueprint. According to the tradition of the scientific community, or even the tradition of mankind, the person who ranks higher has the greater contribution and higher status.

Later, the two sides had differences.

It is easy to understand that Anton Vanke hopes to apply for a patent immediately and put the Ark reactor into production to make a lot of money. After all, he chose to defect in order to have a better life.

However, Howard Stark believed that the technology level of the 1960s could not guarantee safety after expanded production, and he did not want Americans to live next to a huge nuclear bomb.

Howard Stark founded Stark Industries as early as World War II. He made a fortune from selling arms and became an elegant "gentleman". He began to care about social influence and he was not short of money.

He doesn't need it, but Anton Vanke does!

You come all the way to America and bear the stigma of treason, just for some money!

Anton Vanko then applied for a patent to the U.S. Copyright Office without Howard Stark's knowledge and removed Howard Stark's name from the application. This way, he could submit the application materials on his own without obtaining Howard Stark's authorization signature.

He obviously forgot his own identity and truly regarded America as a free country that tolerates everything.

The U.S. Copyright Office immediately reported the situation to the former Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency. Howard Stark was furious when he learned about it, and in a fit of rage he labeled Anton Vanko a spy who stole secrets.

Perhaps out of some mercy, perhaps because he still had a conscience, or perhaps he just wanted Anton Vanko to suffer greater punishment, Howard Stark did not instruct the FBI to silence him. Instead, he sent him to the Soviet Embassy at the time.

After being deported, Anton Vanko went directly to Siberia to dig potatoes. After the empire was divided, he returned to Moscow with an illness and eventually died of depression.

Fortunately, due to the appearance of Lin Hao in this universe, the father and son were taken back to the S.H.I.E. Bureau by Zheng Xian ten years ago.

This is the easiest and most valuable "Marvel Newbie Benefit". As soon as Lin Hao joined the S.H.I.E. Bureau and gained attention, he immediately suggested to Zheng Xian to recruit the father and son.

From Nick Fury's perspective, there was nothing wrong with Howard Stark's original behavior. If it were him, he would probably kill Anton Vanko directly to eliminate the trouble once and for all.

Some things don't weigh anything if they're not weighed, but once they're weighed, they can't be weighed down even with a thousand pounds!

If the father and son of Vanke had not had the help of noble people, they would never have been able to turn things around in their lives. But now they can appear in the United States openly and have the support of the Russian state apparatus.

Faced with such a situation, even Nick Fury was helpless.

Send someone to assassinate?

His armor is obviously much more advanced than Tony Stark's. Who can kill Ivan Vanko?

The other party must have lived in the Russian Embassy during his stay in the United States. Would Nick Fury dare to send people to attack the embassy and risk a war between the two countries?

Besides, what would happen if he was killed?

It will only confirm Howard Stark's stigma.

"Director."

A redhead with wavy hair wearing a tight leather jacket walked into the office.

"Tony Stark's condition is very bad. The symptoms of heavy metal poisoning are getting worse. He may not last much longer."

This is Natasha Romanoff, who has infiltrated Stark Industries and become a legal assistant, also known as the famous Black Widow.

"No, Howard should have left some key things for Tony. With Tony's IQ, there is no way he can't solve the puzzle left by his father." Nick Fury quickly realized that something was wrong.

Naturally, Nick Fury had already read the information left by Howard Stark, but unfortunately the notebook only contained some routine content. SHIELD had already digested the technology above, but the second half was blank.

The only thing that puzzled Nick Fury was the video tape. With his agent's intuition, he realized that the model of the future city might be the key. Unfortunately, the agent was not a physicist after all, and he had no idea what Howard Stark had left behind and how much value it had.

He only succeeded as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in recent years, and it was also in recent years that he had access to the agency's top secrets.

Stark Industries has flourished in the past decade, and its ties with the military have become increasingly close. Tony Stark is the orphan of the founder, and Nick Fury wants to pull Tony into S.H.I.E.L.D. to carry on his father's legacy, rather than taking advantage of him and pushing him further away.

"I checked the surveillance of Stark Industries. Twenty days ago, a Japanese man came to the Stark Industries Building. That night, a fire broke out in the building, burning a model left by Howard Stark..."

"What did you say?" Nick Fury, who had been busy expanding the East Factory Brigade for more than half a month, was hearing about this for the first time.

"The fire didn't spread, it only burned the model," Natasha quickly added.

"Model?" Nick Fury asked in surprise, "The future city model Howard left behind? The on-site layout of the 1974 Stark Industries Expo?"

Natasha was surprised at the boss's memory. She didn't even bother to find out what model was burned. She just thought it was an abnormal situation based on her agent's intuition, so she reported it.

"If Howard didn't leave any other models, this should be it." Natasha nodded.

Nick Fury's expression immediately changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is that Japanese guy called Kurosaki Ichigo?"

"Yes." Natasha nodded again.

"Damn it, it turns out the Japanese are behind this!"

Nick Fury immediately stood up, his face gloomy: "Tony is done for now!"

After pacing for a while, he immediately ordered Natasha: "Go contact this Japanese man and find out his background."

Natasha frowned slightly. Although she was already used to using the beauty trick, she still felt a little resistance deep in her heart. After all, no one wanted to be a tool.

But she had no choice. From the day she destroyed the "Red House", she could only take shelter under S.H.I.E.L.D.

Thinking of Ivan Vanko's full support from Big Mao, and the fact that the Emperor had set up the Bear Shield Bureau in imitation of the Spear Bureau a few years ago, Nick Fury noticed Natasha's subtle changes, and quickly comforted her in a gentle voice: "This operation is based on the premise of ensuring your own safety. No matter what is behind this Kurosaki Ichigo, he is already our enemy, and I will not let him go."

The implication is that Natasha can just go through the motions and get as much intelligence as she can.

"Okay." The boss had said this, and Natasha had no choice.

"We'll start this tomorrow. Now let's go meet Tony Stark. He has to make a choice, and so do we."

With that, Nick Fury walked towards the office door.

As usual, I would like to ask for a follow-up reading~

It should be on the shelves on the 21st, and there will be a lot of updates. I have been preparing the manuscripts recently, and I will release them all when the time comes.

Chapter 64 Sir, I don’t want to, but he insists

On the way to Tony Stark's villa, Nick Fury couldn't help feeling resentful.

These damn rich people have to buy houses everywhere. Their company is in New York on the East Coast, but their home is in Los Angeles on the West Coast.

Ordinary people take the bus to and from work, or drive at most, or take the train. But rich people are different, they take private planes to and from get off work.

If you have money, you can do whatever you want.

It is understandable that Tony Stark flies from the west coast to the east coast in the movie. After all, the speed of the armor has long exceeded the speed of sound, and it doesn't take long to circle the earth.

But in "Iron Man 2", Tony Stark actually drove a convertible sports car from his villa in Malibu, Los Angeles to Stark Tower in New York. This is ridiculous!

The driving distance from Los Angeles to New York is about 4488.89 kilometers. Even if Tony Stark drives his sports car at a speed of 11 kilometers per hour, it will take hours. However, he and the basket of strawberries he brought with him did not change at all after experiencing wind and sun.

It wouldn't make sense if the cliff house wasn't in Los Angeles, because at the beginning of the first movie, when the blonde reporter got up, Jarvis automatically predicted the weather conditions in Malibu.

Nick Fury didn't know how Tony Stark managed to drive long distances without getting tired or getting dirty, but he took a nap in the Quinjet.
