Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

During the short period of the adjournment, the reporters took out all kinds of communication tools one after another, and all they had to do was send the news to the newspaper with the fax machine in their arms. **** other book lovers are reading:. (from Q pen i house u)

The most used ones are naturally the telephones. Several public phones in the court passage have long been occupied by reporters or reporter assistants. They are not afraid of leaking information, and they just narrate the upcoming article word by word.

Looking at the bustling courtroom, Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Yang Rui, you performed extremely well. After these reports come out, our odds of winning will be even greater."

"Great. Mr. Benjamin's professional level is high enough. If you are in the scientific field, you are probably at the academician level." Yang Rui was in a good mood, and he complimented Benjamin casually.

Good words that don’t require money are sometimes more useful than money. When Benjamin is in a good mood, he can’t wait to give Yang Rui a 20% discount on his lawyer’s fees. He also shows a little bit of American humility: “If it’s in the field of patent litigation, I plead guilty.”

Both of them laughed out loud.

"Benjamin. Mr. Yang Rui." Amidst laughter, DuPont's lawyer came from the other side of the aisle.

"Kenneth." Benjamin straightened up and warned, "Please don't talk to my client. If you have anything to tell me, I will tell him."

Yang Rui stood beside Benjamin, looking at the two curiously.

"I would like to propose a reconciliation, a very generous reconciliation, and I hope you will pass it on to your client." Kenneth handed a small note to Benjamin, and said, "It will be valid until the trial. Your luck is good, but our The tricks haven't been used up yet."

"Come on anyway." Benjamin held the note and did not unfold it, his tone not showing weakness at all.

Kenneth looked around and said with a smile: "It seems that you think you have mastered public opinion? It is true that small companies will get you a lot of sympathy points for giant elephants, but you should think that sympathy is because you are weak , rather than being strong. DuPont has not really exerted its strength yet. Even if you win in the United States, we can still file a lawsuit in London, Hong Kong, Paris or Tokyo. As far as I know, you have applied for patents in 150 countries around the world. But half of them have not yet come into effect, gentlemen, the in vitro diagnostic market is a big market, and it is impossible for you to monopolize the market as a Chinese company.”

Kenneth took two steps back, pointed to Benjamin's hand before entering the crowd, and said, "Think carefully, after the trial, this is your highest peak."

Benjamin waited until he could no longer see anyone, and slowly unfolded the note in his hand.

There is only a line of more than a dozen words in the note,

Benjamin looked at it carefully, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "They are willing to admit all your invention rights to PCR. As long as they open the patent of PCR to DuPont and jointly enjoy 30% of the global patent rights, a settlement can be made."

Yang Rui smiled: "How is this possible."

He had to negotiate for a few months to get a 5% dividend from coenzyme q10, but in the end he only got a 2% dividend. Even if DuPont is an elephant, this money is too easy to earn.

Benjamin said with a serious expression: "Although I am very confident, as a lawyer, I still want to remind you of the risks involved. First of all, Kenneth is right about elephants. DuPont is capable of filing lawsuits in 150 countries around the world. , Of course, they will not file so many lawsuits for PCR, but it is no problem to file lawsuits in several major countries in the world at the same time, although our Benjamin Law Firm has the ability to respond to the lawsuit, the cost will increase greatly."

"Increase to how much?"

"More than 50% of the cost required by the United States. As of now, every time DuPont files a lawsuit in a country, you need to prepare a budget of 2 million U.S. dollars. If you are responding to the lawsuit in 8 countries around the world, you need another 16 million U.S. dollars. Add the current $4 million, for a total of $20 million in expenses."

Yang Rui, who had just earned 10 million US dollars, suddenly felt that his waist was not so straight.

Benjamin added: "This has not yet calculated the cost of the appeal. The cost of the appeal is relatively low, but it also needs to budget for 30% of the cost. If the total cost is 20 million US dollars, an appeal budget of 6 million US dollars is required. In addition , we also need to consider whether DuPont will continue to expand the countries and scope of appeals."

"Can we win?" Yang Rui asked.

"If we can win in the United States, we now have a great chance to win in other countries around the world. The more beautiful the United States wins, the better we can win in other places, but it is not absolute."

Yang Rui pondered.

Benjamin said: "Now, the crux of the problem is not the legal issue, but the financial issue. Even if we can win, the money you earn from patent licensing may not be able to cover the cost of the lawsuit. Instead of this, it is better to settle the legal fee , with a definite result."

He was really thinking about Yang Rui, otherwise, he could just earn the lawyer's fees himself. Of course, the Benjamin Law Firm didn't want to devote all their energy to fighting DuPont, and that wasn't in their interest either.

Yang Rui was startled awake by his last words, and asked slowly: "We will spend lawyers' fees, and DuPont will also spend lawyers' fees, so they won't go to court at a loss, right?"

Benjamin was taken aback, and said: "But they are DuPont, and they can sue without making money. How big is the current PCR market? According to our research, it is a market of about 100 million US dollars, with a profit of 50 to 60 million US dollars. In this way, DuPont may spend 20 million or even 30 million to fight the lawsuit..."

"Let's continue." Yang Rui interrupted Benjamin.

"Huh?" Benjamin didn't understand.

Yang Rui said: "My market forecast for PCR is different from that of DuPont."

He looked at Benjamin and said, "If 20 million or 30 million can create a monopoly market, I have no problem."

Having said that, Yang Rui felt a pain in his heart. However, that's the case with the biotech space and the pharmaceutical industry, which is ultra-capital intensive, with participation from pure biotech companies, participation from big pharma companies, participation from banks and consortiums, participation from Wall Street, no Companies that don’t have money, or companies that are reluctant to spend money, can’t see the future at all.

There are some industries in the world that cannot spend money even if they have money, such as commodity circulation, machinery manufacturing and even real estate. They have limits on how much money they can accommodate, such as tens of billions, hundreds of billions or trillions. If there is more, or management problems , or there will be problems with supply and sales, but the field of medicine and biotechnology is different. This industry spends all the money, because there are too many human diseases, and people who want to live longer are always older. most.

Whether it is the Human Genome Project, or gene cloning, or cancer treatment, or infectious disease control, or transgenic research and development, any field here is open to operation, and it has the ability to clean up the treasury of all countries in the world. , Most of the pension crisis and medical expenses in Europe and the United States are spent in the fields of biology and medicine.

And from this huge sum of money, even if only a small amount leaked, it would be enough to hire lawyers to make waves in court.

If Yang Rui has no money, no matter how unhappy he is, he has no choice but to sign a settlement agreement. Moreover, the less money he has, the more he will suffer from the settlement agreement he signed. DuPont may dare to ask him to take 70%, **** good-looking novel :.

This is the rule of the game in the pharmaceutical field.

However, there is a huge difference between Yang Rui's understanding of PCR and DuPont's understanding.

DuPont doesn't see pcr as a $3 billion market, so they don't spend more than they need to go to court.

Yang Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Huavel is selling the patent rights of deferiprone. Once successful, the money can be included in the budget."

"Is it worth investing an extra 20 million or 30 million US dollars just for the 30% patent fee of PCR?" Benjamin asked.

Now that the agreement is signed, Yang Rui has no other losses except for 30% of the global patent rights. From Benjamin's point of view, it is also a rare victory. Therefore, the possible expenditure is only for the 30% of the rights. Not worth it anymore.

Yang Rui said, "I think it's worth it."

"Well, I will continue to summon scientists from China, hoping they can give us some good news." Benjamin did not fully believe in Yang Rui's decision, but winning better would help stop DuPont's ambitions, and he also So I turned my attention back to the court.

Peeing time is over, and the courtroom is once again filled with lawyers, scholars and journalists.

Benjamin first summoned Professor Cai, and after he took the oath to sit on the witness stand, he asked, "Professor Cai, welcome to the United States. As far as I know, you are the head of the biology department of the best university in China, right?"

Professor Cai said without humility; "Yes, I am the head of the Department of Biology at Peking University."

"You are also a national academician of China, right?"

"China is called a member of the academic department, yes." The member of the academic department is a title from the Soviet Union, and there is a similar English used to explain it.

Benjamin nodded and continued to ask: "When Yang Rui was doing PCR research, he was studying in the Biology Department of Peking University. Do you understand his work?"

"learn."

"In your opinion, whether the knowledge and ability he possesses can complete the PCR research."

"Of course, it can be done without a doubt." Professor Cai paused and said, "First of all, I would like to explain to everyone here, the judge, that you cannot use common sense to guess Yang Rui's ability, because he is a genius."

"Genius seems to be difficult to prove. We often say that people are geniuses, but it seems that there are too many subjective feelings. Do you have an objective explanation?"

"Of course. First, I would like to introduce to you the Chinese college entrance examination, which is an examination system similar to the American SAT..."

"I object..." DuPont's lawyer stood up.

"I want to hear it." The judge waved his hand. There is usually no jury in this kind of patent case, and the judge is more flexible in making the final judgment.

The lawyer sat down, and Professor Cai continued: "As far as I know, there are hundreds of people who can get full marks in the SAT in the United States every year. In China, we also have a similar examination system. The difference is that in order to classify the students , Our questions vary from difficult to easy, and there has never been a situation where any student has tied for the first place. Therefore, we call the first place in the national examination every year as the number one in the college entrance examination.”

Professor Cai paused and said to the judge: "It is very difficult to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination in China. There are more than ten million students in China who take the exam every year. Among them, only one-third of the students with the highest scores in the first exam, To be able to enter the final exam of the college entrance examination, stand out from the crowd of 3 million or 4 million people, and become the first in the total score, I think, no matter what, you can be called a genius."

Everyone anticipated what Professor Cai was going to say, and couldn't help staring at it with bated breath, especially the reporters.

DuPont's lawyers yelled badly, but there was nothing to stop it.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Professor Cai speak forcefully in English: "Yang Rui was the top scorer in the Chinese college entrance examination in 1983, and he was the one with the highest total score in all previous years."

The silence in the courtroom was suddenly broken.

Many Americans are whispering to each other.

Compared with Asians, Americans do not like to learn, but their fear and pursuit of the first place remain unchanged.

What is especially exciting for Americans is the genius who is both beautiful and intelligent, good at sports but not fond of reading, but able to win the first place.

Whether Yang Rui is good at sports is unknown, and whether he likes reading is a subjective question, but he can almost get full marks in three of the other five items.

The reporters have already started to revise the previous draft.

"I would like to explain again." Professor Cai raised his voice again, and said: "China's college entrance examination system not only allows fresh students to participate, but also allows previous students to participate. Due to the importance of the college entrance examination, many students will repeat it for many years and continue to participate. In the college entrance examination, some students will even retake the exam for six or even seven years. Therefore, Yang Rui was able to become the champion of the college entrance examination in 1983. From the beginning, he not only defeated his peers, but also defeated many senior students who were more prepared. I said that Yang Rui is a genius, he has extraordinary ability to acquire knowledge, he has extraordinary ability to use knowledge, he not only completed the research of pcr, but also completed many other researches, I hope everyone here can give His more tolerance gives him the opportunity to use his talent and make more contributions to the world."

Snapped.

A slow and loud clapping from one person.

slap.

The two applauded loudly.

clap clap.

A group of people clapped rhythmically.

Clap clap.

It brought bursts of applause from the audience.

The reporters were so excited that they couldn't express their excitement in words, and their body language made the crowd dance wildly in the courtroom.

The judge struck his hammer again, but with a smile on his face.

DuPont's Kenneth looked pale, but turned his head and said, "Even if you win, it won't change the overall situation."

"We still have witnesses." Benjamin's eyes sparkled, but he was full of confidence. Mobile users please visit
