The Copyright Department, located in the administrative district of the foreign city, officially opened for business today. The Intellectual Property Protection Law was also officially implemented. As a department that attracted a lot of attention when it was launched, a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the Copyright Department to watch the fun.
Of course, in addition to the civilians who came to watch the fun, there were more businessmen who had a stake in their interests. These businessmen who had traveled extensively all over the world all had a few exclusive secret recipes in their hands.
Although these businessmen were suspicious by nature and suspected that His Majesty Victor was looking for an excuse to collect their secret recipes... as long as someone was willing to give it a try, they would know whether it was true or not.
However, after looking at each other for a long time, no one was willing to give it a try.
This made the staff of the Copyright Department very embarrassed. Fortunately, the Copyright Department had been trusted by the royal family since its establishment, so Victor had told them in advance that the Datang Chamber of Commerce would come to apply for patent protection today, so they were a little relieved.
In fact, the inspection team set up in the Copyright Department included members of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, which was also requested by Tang En. He thought that there should be some civilian positions in the name of supervising law enforcement. Of course, these supervisory positions eventually fell into the hands of the Datang Chamber of Commerce.
After all, with the current mentality of the civilians, once they were given the right to supervise, they might feel honored at first, but when they realized that the power in their hands could be exchanged for benefits, they might be more corrupt than the nobles.
For a long time, this kind of attitude was the main theme of human psychology. It would only change when knowledge and culture were widespread and people's qualities were completely improved.
Therefore, for the time being, it was better to keep this kind of power in his hands. After all, he could guarantee that he would not change his mind, but those people might not.
Once the habit of applying for patents became widespread in Irus, the businessmen and inventors in Irus would band together to protect the market for their common interests. In the future, people in other countries would either have to abide by the rules or be collectively excluded.
Eventually, they would also come here to apply for patents. After a long time, Alinx would probably become the intellectual property center of the whole Prandal.
"Eh? They're here! They're here! They are indeed from the Datang Chamber of Commerce! "
The crowd standing at the entrance suddenly became restless. On the carriage coming from afar, the emblem of the Datang Chamber of Commerce was shining under the sunlight. Thanks to the recent activities, the emblem of the Datang Chamber of Commerce had become a well-known symbol in Alinx.
Due to the need to publicize the Copyright Department, after Victor and Twain discussed it, they purposely leaked the news to the traitors in the palace. Thus, many people received the news from their own channels. The Copyright Department was set up by the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, and its purpose was to protect the rights of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce from being infringed upon.
At this time, the spies that Tang En had planted in the crowd in advance began to come into play …
"Have you heard? It seems like the Datang Chamber of Commerce came up with this idea because Baron Birbom's Prani Chamber of Commerce imitated the Datang Chamber of Commerce's mint candy. In the end, they were caught by Baron Tang En!"
"That can't be, right? It's just mint candy. Would Baron Birbom be interested in that kind of small business? "
"It's really because of him. Although imitating mint candy is a small matter, it is said that Baron Tang En is worried that if this continues to develop, it will lead to chaos in the industry and vicious competition. If one company has a product, the other company will copy it. This is very detrimental to the healthy development of the industry."
"I see! This is the function of the patent law! "
"That's right. With the protection of the patent law, who is the original and who is the imitator, can be checked and found out. Then, they can apply for official sanctions against the imitator."
"If that's the case, then it's a great blessing for us originalists!"
"Of course, the Copyright Department not only protects original works, but also patent authorization. If someone takes a fancy to your patent, they can spend money to get the authorization from you. After they get the right to use your patent, they can also use your patent to produce products. Not only can you get the patent authorization fee, but you can also get the profit share agreed upon by both parties. It means that after creating a patent, you can make money even if you lie at home. This is great news!"
The group of people couldn't help but exclaim secretly when they heard this.
"Oh my god! There's actually such a good thing!? No wonder the Datang Chamber of Commerce took the lead to create the Copyright Department. Who wouldn't be jealous of the Datang Chamber of Commerce!? "
"It's said that in order to maintain healthy competition while still maintaining profits, as long as it's not an exclusive patent that can only be authorized once, one patent can be authorized to five companies. If the competition is too fierce, they have to rely on bidding to get the authorization. I wonder which company will get the authorization from the Datang Chamber of Commerce."
"That's right. If we get the patent authorization from the Great Tang Chamber of Commerce, we'll be able to make a lot of money."
"By the way," The group of people looked at the businessman who revealed the news strangely, "How do you know so much inside information?"
The businessman smiled mysteriously, "My uncle works in the Copyright Department. He heard it from Baron Tang En with his own ears. It's up to you to believe it or not."
There was an uproar around them. They looked at the businessman with eyes full of envy and jealousy.
For businessmen, information meant wealth!
Having an uncle working in the Copyright Department, was there any need to explain what it meant in the future?
A businessman rubbed his hands and said eagerly, "It seems to be true. If there's a chance, I must give it a try."
"Come on," Another person sneered, "With your small business, you're not even qualified to join the Trade Alliance. I'm afraid you're not even qualified to enter. Don't forget that President Sidney and the others are also —"
The man suddenly shut his mouth and looked into the distance with admiration. President Sidney's carriage almost followed the Datang Chamber of Commerce's carriage here.
It was obvious how much Sidney cared about the Datang Chamber of Commerce's patent.
Baron Birbom's carriage was also following behind. The Prani Chamber of Commerce's cross emblem was very eye-catching at this moment.
"Isn't that Baron Birbom?"
"It's the carriage of the Prani Chamber of Commerce …"
"He actually has the nerve to come here …"
"Bah, are you stupid? Even he has the nerve to come here. It can be seen that the patent authorization is indeed very profitable. Don't you see that there are several carriages behind him? Almost all of them are members of the Trade Alliance. This time, they're here to take away the Datang Chamber of Commerce's patent! "
"Then isn't the Datang Chamber of Commerce in danger? Once the patent is provided, once the Trade Alliance starts production, won't they immediately seize all of their market? "
Another person lowered his voice and whispered, "But at that time, it won't be important to the Datang Chamber of Commerce anymore! No matter which Chamber of Commerce occupies the market in the end, as long as they use the Datang Chamber of Commerce's patent to produce products, they will have to pay a fixed profit share in the contract. Think about it, this is equivalent to the Trade Alliance of the entire Irus Empire making money for the Datang Chamber of Commerce, no, for Baron Tang En! "
The people around carefully thought about it and couldn't help but gasp.
Although he made a lot of money by using the Datang Chamber of Commerce's patent to make money, if there were many people using his patent, after accumulating a lot, Baron Tang En would be able to make money while lying down!
Damn it! Why don't I have such a popular patent!? Almost immediately, some people's eyes turned red with jealousy, and they were so envious that they couldn't speak.
There were also some businessmen who had exclusive secret recipes and technologies in their hands who began to ponder. If they applied for a patent before there were many people applying for a patent, would they be able to take advantage of the Datang Chamber of Commerce's influence and license their own patent?
If they really sold it, then even if their own Chamber of Commerce couldn't continue, they would still be able to receive a lot of income regularly …
The carriage of the Datang Chamber of Commerce silently stopped in front of the gate of the Copyright Office. Then, Fiona, who was wearing a red and black dress and her beautiful hair was tied up in a bun, looked solemn and mysterious, and Tang En, who had changed into a formal suit and looked valiant and formidable, got out of the carriage.
Before the others could exclaim at the handsome man and beautiful woman, the huge figure that followed them down the carriage made them suck in a breath of cold air and shut their mouths in unison.
The sense of oppression when Mao Jiro, who was two meters tall and full of muscles, appeared was too strong. Even if he didn't do anything, they didn't dare to speak loudly.
"Where's the Orc …"
"Look at those ears … It's the Kate Cat …"
"Aren't these muscles a little too abnormal …"
"Shh … Maybe it's an Orc Berserker … Don't forget that Orc Berserkers are the most powerful warriors …"
Vanilla's ears trembled, and he glanced to the side with a gloomy face. Those people immediately stepped back, and with Vanilla as the center, a fan-shaped space appeared.
With a creak, Sidney's carriage also stopped. After Birbom came over, Sidney and Birbom came to Tang En and Fiona with smiles on their faces. "Baron Tang En, Miss Fiona, I hope we can have a good cooperation today."
Tang En raised his eyebrows. "You're quite enthusiastic."
"Of course." Sidney smiled, and there was no trace of hostility toward Tang En. "Let's not talk about anything else. Baron Birbom will wake up laughing in his dreams if he gets the patent of Baron Tang En's carriage."
They had noticed that Tang En's carriage was very stable when it moved forward, and there was almost no noise or tremor.
Baron Birbom had long been jealous. If his carriage company could get such technology, the carriages they produced would be excellent!
"You're quite perceptive. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Whether you can get it or not depends on whether you're willing to spend the money."
Tang En smiled and said casually, "My patents are not cheap."
