Chapter 641

Knowing that the crux of the problem lies in DuPont, Yang Rui felt shock, fear of difficulties and fear for the first time.

Yang Rui, who made $4 million last year, is not on the same order of magnitude as DuPont, which made more than $1.4 billion last year. As a big Mac that has transformed from industry and mining to chemistry and from chemistry to biology, DuPont has more than 10000 scientists.

This is a company that can afford first-class scholars and top laboratories.

What's more, behind DuPont, there is the DuPont consortium, which is one of the top ten consortia in the United States. It is powerful and can influence the political ecology of the United States.

However, Yang Rui soon calmed down, at least, he forced to suppress his negative emotions.

Just like every student sitting in the college entrance examination room, if they are afraid of difficulties, everyone has countless reasons to be afraid of difficulties - what to do if they are not good in the exam? If you ask 100 people, 100 people have thought about it at least three times.

However, fear of difficulties can not solve the problem.

Yang Rui forced himself to think from a good angle.

The best reason soon appeared in front of Yang Rui's eyes: the west company won the DuPont lawsuit!

It can even be said that the lawsuit was easily solved.

As a famous case, the relationship between West and DuPont has been involved in the history of science and technology. Yang Rui finds them in his mind and reads them greedily so as to avoid his own wishful thinking.

Less than a year after west company launched the PCR instrument, DuPont took west to court. Unlike many long patent cases, the San Francisco district court only took half a year to finish the case, and west company won a great victory.

This shows that west west company won easily!

And the patent barriers of west company, which won the lawsuit, are not as thick as Yang Rui's now. In fact, they can rely on two main patents. Their patents on heat-resistant polymerase even have loopholes, so that they will cause another lawsuit in the future

But anyway, West can win, It shows that Yang Rui may also win.

Of course, the west company is also a listed company with assets of more than 100 million US dollars. It is also an American company, and has raised a lot of voices in the scientific community. This biological company, which rose with the Reagan Policy, has won the sympathy of many people in the biological community, and the Big Mac DuPont company has always been evil in the eyes of the public.

While thinking, Yang Rui wrote and drew in his notebook.

The first thing is to raise lawyer's fees. If there are enough lawyer's fees, it is possible to win DuPont in court. DuPont's chips are limited. What they can come up with are only a few papers in the 1970s, which are totally inconsistent with the academic recognition of patent rights. Therefore, Yang Rui has a big win if he can only fight a lawsuit in an open and honest manner and have lawyer's fees.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui wrote down the words "raise money" and "be upright" in his notebook.

The pursuit of "integrity" in a lawsuit may not be the pursuit of integrity. Yang Rui puts this behind him, and his eyes are still staring at the word "raising money".

Without money, you can't afford a lawsuit.

The confrontation with ganica company made Yang Rui deeply feel the fair price of American society.

Benjamin is the lawyer who can best reflect the fairness of the United States. He is not the best lawyer, but he is among the top lawyers in the United States. If we invite a lawyer like Benjamin, it means that the balance of fairness will not tilt to the other side. We are all at the same level and then rely on evidence to speak.

In order to keep the balance straight, the price is 2500 dollars per hour.

In a settlement case, the billing time of Benjamin and his team exceeded 40 hours. Together with other expenses, the final fee was more than $100000, which took more than one third of the settlement money. This is still the price that did not go to court.

In order to see if the balance is right, Yang Rui also needs his own company lawyer and Hong Kong lawyer Yue Ting, who has participated in patent registration. The combined price of these two people is about $1000 per hour.

Also in this reconciliation division, they have to share nearly a third of the money.

In the end, Yang Rui's own settlement was less than one-third, even less than that of company lawyers and Hong Kong patent lawyers.

This is a lawsuit victory, and a quick victory.

If you go to a trial, Benjamin charges $40000 for each trial and $40000 for a minute of trial. That's why the free lawyers employed by the poor in the United States always force them to plead guilty, because they are unwilling to go to court. The preparation is too complicated and there are too many variables.As a benchmark, Simpson's wife killing case in 1995 took nine months and produced more than 50000 pages of court records, while Simpson's dream team charged more than $10 million.

That's the price of a decent lawsuit.

Yang Rui estimated that it would take at least $1 million to support his lawsuit with DuPont, and $2 million would be much safer.

It's jerichon that owes her dividends.

"DuPont is very accurate." Yang Rui breathed a sigh and wrote "achievement appraisal" on his notebook.

It's not all about fighting a lawsuit. If he prepares more evidence, he can have more assurance.

The lawsuit between west company and DuPont finally became an academic lawsuit. In the academic circle, this is a famous case. Although lawyers are important, lawyers and judges have to listen to expert witnesses. Expert witnesses are all Nobel Prize winners. In academic issues, naturally, only scholars can compete with each other, and lawyers are not qualified to cross examine.

84 In China, the academic level was worrying, but it was not without bright spots. After Yang Rui replaced West, it became an international lawsuit. Whether there was domestic support or not, I think there were some differences.

Yang Rui checked his mood, looked at his notebook again, then called to buy a ticket to Pingjiang, ready to transfer home from Pingjiang.

Even if you can find money in Beijing, you will find RMB, but you still have to find a way to make up the US dollar from the coenzyme Q10 factory.

After calling, Yang Rui went back to school and found president Liu to apply for the examination in advance. Naturally, it was just a passing act. Liu Yuan waved his pen and said, "you passed the final interview this year."

Yang Rui asked more: "is it in line with the policy?"

"Why not? Your academic achievements have been recognized in the United States, not to mention the papers published in top journals this year. Such students have to be forced to take the final exam. Are we all old-fashioned?" President Liu said to himself.

Yang Rui is really not in the mood to chat and fart. After thanking President Liu, he went to see academician CAI to revise the visiting time. He wanted to focus on one week and visit the committee members as soon as possible to make time to go home.

As for the reason for going home, Yang Rui did not explain, and academician Cai did not ask much. In his opinion, it is natural that Yang Rui's achievements have passed the appraisal. In such a show, he has to keep giving gifts, which is somewhat difficult for young people.

Therefore, academician Cai drew a circle on the map on the wall with a pencil and said, "now there are four professors in Beijing who are members of the achievement evaluation committee. We have tried to visit them all in two days. If they are not here, we should wait for them on the way to visit others and then make time to visit them. Anyway, now we often have to transfer from Beijing by plane."

Yang Rui nodded.

"There are two professors in Shanghai and one in Nanjing. There are three professors here. We give priority to visiting them. The remaining four professors are scattered all over the world. If it's too late, let's just let fate decide." The circles drawn by academician CAI are very rigorous in science. The circle in Beijing is the largest, followed by Shanghai, and the remaining small circles are mostly in the southeast, reflecting the distribution of academic circles in China.

This is still the era of national planning. After the flow of colleges and universities is completely liberalized, the Matthew effect will make local colleges and universities outside Beijing, especially those located outside megacities, lose their academic color. Most of them can't survive, let alone other colleges and universities.

Professor Cai drew the circle without any delay. He took Yang Rui with him and Yang Rui with a gift. First, he paid a new visit to the Peking University professor who had a small meeting a few days ago, and made an appointment with each professor to visit other professors.

An invisible line, will Yang Rui and Professor Cai, Professor Cai and professors, professors and Professor group wear together.

The so-called academic scholars use such a dense cobweb to lift the ivory tower higher and higher until it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
