Chapter 155：

On July 25, 1985, the first patent case with Chinese as the protagonist was officially opened in Chicago, USA. After many years, domestic intellectual property legal workers gave a very high evaluation, believing that this is the first awakening of Chinese intellectual property concepts.

Of course, this is something later.

On the morning of the 25th, Li Zheng and the three set out from the Chicago Hotel to the Chicago Court.

Many reporters have been surrounded by the court. The American people have discovered a very interesting thing. In this case between Americans and foreigners, the American media, which has always been short-term or even unreasonable, praised the Chinese man this time.

The curiosity of the American people was suddenly mobilized, and they began to pay attention to this patent case through various channels.

"It's Li Zheng, that Li Zheng!" Some people were surprised to find that the defendant and the other protagonist of the case was actually Li Zheng, who had just won the most influential biological person last year.

Li Zheng's beautiful resume makes the American people who protect shortcomings unbelievable that this genius young scholar would do things like stealing scientific research results.

"The plaintiff, O'Neill Bardock, sued the defendants, Huaqing University, Huaqing University Biological Laboratory, and Huaqing University Ninth Biological Research Laboratory, for breaching Article 142 of the contract clause and shall not disclose project-related information to a third party in any form during the contract period. , Article 163 During the contract period, research on related projects shall not be conducted in any form. This case is now officially in court."

O'Neill and Li Zheng stood on the plaintiff and defendant's dock respectively. The auditorium was already densely packed with people. In addition to O'Neill's teacher and colleagues in Chicago, there were also many Chinese who came to hear the news. They came here with the purpose of supporting their fellow citizens, because they have lived in the United States for so many years, and they understand the strong xenophobia of the multi-ethnic nation of the United States under the surface of tolerance.

But when they really arrived at the scene, they realized that their trip might have come in vain. This young Chinese scholar conquered the American media with his personal charm and strong academic level, so that these public opinion leaders, who are usually so mean that even the president can take the liberty of the day, put away their acrid side.

"First, the plaintiff will report and provide evidence." The judge looked at O'Neill's location seriously.

Oni nodded to the lawyer next to him, and the lawyer stood up.

Professor O'Neill's brows are frowning, and they have not loosened since he went to court. He already felt a little regret for his impulse. Before filing the lawsuit, he had no idea that the person in charge of the Huaqing Ninth Biological Research Laboratory was actually Li Zheng.

Isn't Li Zheng from Xiangjiang? How could he go to Huaqing? If so, if he had known it, he might have adopted a more gentle method.

"Okay, Judge. On May 13, 1985, Mr. Oni Bardock signed a data contract processing contract with Mr. Meng Jiayin, the former head of Huaqing Biological Laboratory, and hired Huaqing University Biological Laboratory. As its data processor in the'Extend Organ Storage Time' project, this is the original contract."

"Article 142 of the contract clearly stipulates that during the contract period, the Biological Laboratory of Huaqing University shall not disclose the project information given by the University of Chicago Biological Laboratory to a third party in any way. However, we have compared the experimental procedures of the UW solution project and the CH5 solution project. For the discovery, the preliminary work of the CH5 solution project copied the results of the preliminary project of the UW solution. This is a comparison diagram of the experimental process."

"Also, Article 163 of the contract clearly stipulates that during the contract period, the Biological Laboratory of Huaqing University shall not conduct any research related to the contract project in any form. However, as we all know, both CH5 solution and UW solution are organ storage fluids, and Because of the emergence of the CH5 solution, the contract between Professor O'Neill and Novartis was suspended, causing huge losses to Professor O'Neill. Therefore, we have reason to believe that Huaqing University is purposefully conducting homogenization research to capture the interests of the contractor. I The report is over."

Oni's lawyer nodded to the judge, and then handed it up as evidence the contract with the Huaqing Biological Laboratory and the comparison chart of the two projects.

The judge and a group of interrogators turned over, all with solemn expressions. There were also rustling discussions in the audience, and it was obvious that the reasons given by Onifang seemed very sufficient on the surface.

Chen Anbang and Wu Zhaomeng also became visibly anxious, both of them invariably cast their gazes on Li Zheng, who was sitting peacefully beside them.

Li Zheng was talking in a low voice with the lawyer next to him. The voices of the two were very low and fast, so that other people could not hear what they were talking about.

"Xiao Chen, we won't lose this lawsuit, right?" The sweat on Wu Zhaomeng's forehead was about to come down. Secretary Huaqing, the first secretary to stand in the dock, was the first to stand in the dock and also lost the lawsuit. The secretary of Huaqing, Wu Zhaomeng almost wanted to cry without tears, knowing that he would rather wrestle with the people above than to suffer the crime.

He didn't want this way of going down in history.

Chen An’s help was both angry and impatient. The Chicago side actually used the terms “hiring and data processing contractor” to describe the Biological Laboratory of Huaqing University in court. He thought of holding his hand before he died and said to himself, One day the Huaqing people wanted to do their own experiments upright, and the teachers who wanted to give out their projects generously, he only felt a surge of enthusiasm.

If it hadn't been for the remaining reason to tell him that he couldn't do this, he would have liked to rush up and slap the Professor Oni in the face.

Li Zheng! Please! Don't lose this lawsuit! Chen Anbang shouted in his heart.

Li Zheng seemed to sense something, he just raised his head and gave Chen An a relieved look.

"Now it's the defendant's lawyer." After all the trial personnel had read the evidence, the judge spoke again.

Li Zheng’s lawyer was hired by Kent for help and is a very famous patent attorney in the United States.

"Okay, Judge."

"First of all, my client asks me to clarify one point. The Biological Laboratory of Huaqing University is a contract signed with the University of Chicago Biological Laboratory based on the wish of project cooperation, not the so-called data contractor as the Chicago party said. There was an invitation letter from the University of Chicago, which clearly stated that the Huaqing University Biobiology Laboratory was invited to be the project partner of the “Extend Organ Storage Time” project. In the contract, they cleverly used English vocabulary, which was vague. The concept of a partner was approved, and I protested to the University of Chicago."

“I have here a complaint written by Professor Meng Jiayin, which was originally sent to the University of Chicago, here is a copy. Professor Meng Jiayin was angry that Huaqing’s contribution was not received after the UW solution paper was published Repay and die from a heart attack. Of course, this is not our sensational card. My client just wants to explain that academic hegemony will cause regrettable lifelong results."

The judges in the trial stand looked at each other, and there was a burst of discussion in the audience.

Oni’s teacher, Professor Jimen, was sitting in the first row of the audience. He heard the speech of the defendant’s lawyer with a trace of sadness and regret on his face. He did not agree with the behavior of his students.

"Professor Keymen, are what those Chinese people say is true?" An unwitting University of Chicago professor next to him poked his head and asked.

A grudging smile appeared on Ji's face, and he didn't answer. The professor's eyes flashed. After so many years of colleagues, he naturally knew what Professor Keemen's reaction meant.

"Next, I want to refute the plaintiff’s alleged violation of the confidentiality agreement. First of all, the publication of the paper means the sharing of resources, which should be common sense in scientific research circles. The UW solution paper of the University of Chicago Institute of Biology was published on June 10, 1985. , And our project was established on June 13, 1985, so we only use the available shared information for project research. Of course, if we publish academic papers in the future, we will indicate in the comment column that the experimental data of the previous project comes from Chicago Biolab." The lawyer said with a shrug.

"This is impossible!" Oni yelled, he ignored the court discipline and said loudly: "How is this possible? Huaqing and Novartis signed a patent project agreement on July 1, June 13 and July. In less than half a month a day, this is simply impossible!"

The audience and the media at the scene also suddenly became noisy. They all thought that the reason Huaqing Fang was looking for was really ridiculous. For half a month, the result of a project, you should be the Chinese cabbage on the street as the scientific research result!

"Quiet! Please keep quiet both the plaintiff and the audience!" The judge slammed the gavel representing fairness.

Amid the loud percussions, the scene slowly became quiet.

Li Zheng's lawyer shrugged, "I think everyone must pay attention to one thing. My client is Mr. Li Zheng, and Mr. Li Zheng himself is synonymous with miracles."

When the lawyer first heard of Li Zheng’s project establishment time, his reaction was similar to that of everyone present, and even worse than everyone present. He even thought that such an absurd excuse was impossible to win the lawsuit, and he even wanted to give up this The idea of ​​the case.

But when Li Zheng presented a wad of evidence in black and white before him, the experienced patent attorney had to admit that perhaps he really met a genius, a miracle maker.

After returning to the office, he looked at almost all the experience of the client. The resume with its own halo made him take a breath. A man in his thirties actually treated a young man who was less than twenty years old. People have a feeling of idolatry.
