Magic was an ever-changing subject. It was not uncommon for two different spells to have similar effects under different combinations and combinations of spells. Therefore, there were some rules and regulations in place to deal with such situations. Baiyi's action of defending his rights was based on these two rules and regulations.
One of them was, "In the event of a collision, the party who first registered the patent shall prevail. However, there was an additional clause. If one party could produce concrete evidence to prove that it was the one who invented the invention first, and the other party was guilty of plagiarism or patent theft, the party could file an appeal and request for reconsideration.
The reconsideration usually resulted in rejection, revocation of the patent, and punishment, or permission for the existence of two patents at the same time. "
The other rule was under the supervision of the Mage Design Union. If there was a patent dispute, the Mage Design Union was not allowed to issue a ban before the dispute was resolved. To put it simply, Baiyi had to make sure everything was clear first.
According to the information provided by the snitch, the Sorcerer's Association had seen Baiyi's invention before they came up with their own version. Although they had used other methods to achieve the same effect, it was not considered plagiarism. At the very least, they had borrowed from Baiyi's original work. It was similar to the relationship between an authentic product and a pirated product. In this case, the ban was definitely against the rules.
The debate between the counterfeit and the original could last for a whole year, so Baiyi's ultimate goal was not to find out who was right or wrong. He did not mind people imitating him, but now, he was faced with a situation where the counterfeit was going to ban the original. What's more, the price of the counterfeit was 20 times more expensive than the original. That was just too shameless.
As for how to deal with the imitations, Baiyi had his own ways, so there was no need to rush.
"That's about it. I think my request is reasonable, right? I'm not being unreasonable; I'm just arguing for what's right, "Baiyi said after he finished explaining his point of view to the fat president.
The facts were clear, the process was clear, and the evidence was sufficient. There was nothing wrong with the investigation … This made Fatty frown slightly. Initially, he wanted to persuade Baiyi with some kind words, and then he would raise some money to compensate Baiyi. Then, that would be the end of the matter. However, Baiyi's attitude was very firm, and he was very familiar with the rules of the Door of Conundrum. Hence, he gave up on the idea. He could only smile bitterly and say, "Master Hope is truly the most outstanding Great Sage in the Door of Conundrum. You know all the rules like the back of your hand."
Baiyi nodded his head and silently accepted the flattery. Actually, he was not very clear about the rules and regulations but the Painter of the 32nd Walker knew them like the back of his hand. He started his career by plagiarizing and plagiarizing, so naturally, he had to put in a lot of effort to study the rules and regulations. He used all kinds of loopholes and edged around the edges, causing chaos in the academic circle. In the end, he was given the title of 'The Heartless Scoundrel who tramples on the painstaking efforts of others, despises the laws and regulations, and tarnishes the academic environment'.
If this guy had been born on Earth, he might have become an outstanding litigator, the kind with a Weibo account.
"Ha! Even if you obtained it illegally, I would still reject your objection, let alone protecting your legal rights! This is my professionalism! Have you learned it, Sir Hope? "The Painter said proudly in the Void.
Is your professionalism something to be proud of? Baiyi thought to himself speechlessly. He suppressed his anger and decided not to Mute the immoral scoundrel. Instead, he turned to Fatty and said, "If there's no problem with it, could you please arrange for my appeal as soon as possible? Ah, I know. I still need to be certified as a Master, right? "
"Master Hope, please excuse me. If I were to question your strength, I'm afraid I would become a laughing stock," Fatty said as he handed a paper certificate to Baiyi. The Sorcerer's Association's emblem was stamped on the paper, and Fatty's name was signed on it. This meant that Baiyi was now a Master-level sorcerer.
"Although it's a little awkward to say it, according to the rules, I still have to say it. Congratulations on becoming a Master Sorcerer." Fatty congratulated Baiyi in a formal manner, causing Baiyi's students to feel a little awkward.
Looks like reputation is quite useful after all … Baiyi thought to himself as he kept the certificate. No matter how arrogant sorcerers were and how they looked down on others, they still maintained the most basic level of respect for the Church.
According to the normal procedure, the certification of a Master Sorcerer needed to go through a whole set of certification procedures, which included a lot of procedures such as approval and evaluation. At the end of the process, the corresponding certification mission had to be completed. If the process was deliberately delayed, it could drag on for a very long time. Even if the process was carried out normally, it would still be quite troublesome.
Therefore, there was no lack of powerful people who hated the cumbersome procedures and would scoff at the certification process. For example, the young sorcerer in the Void. According to the official certification, he was only an Advanced Sorcerer when he entered the Void, which was basically a joke.
In order to prevent such a joke from happening, people like Fatty, who cleverly skipped most of the process and simply signed the certificate without hesitation, became more and more common. Just like he said, if he really thought that Baiyi was not even a Master Sorcerer, then he would be the one making a fool of himself.
"As for the petition you filed … Hmm … Please excuse me for a moment. Due to the special circumstances and your special status, I need to contact the headquarters first," Fatty said. After Fatty finished speaking, he walked into a small room inside the office alone and went to report to his superior.
Baiyi returned to his students and picked up a piece of cake from the table. He placed it in front of Attie, who squinted her eyes and took a bite. However, Baiyi moved his hand away and said, "Come, meow. I'll feed you if I meow."
Attie glared at him, but she picked up a piece of cake from the coffee table and ate it.
'Tsk, my training is not up to par …' Baiyi thought regretfully. He handed the cake to the fox and said, "Why don't you try it?"
The fox gave him a resentful and disdainful look.
After playing with the students for a while, Fatty Hart emerged from his cubicle and said to Baiyi, "According to HQ, this ban was issued during a joint conference, and several Vice Presidents were involved in it. I have no right to review it, so I have no choice but to ask you to pay a visit to the Babel Tower. Of course, due to your special status, the headquarters has already begun to prepare for a review. If we were to go now, it would be just in time. "
Before Baiyi could reply, the Sorcerer Walker in the Void said, "The Sorcerer's Association has always been known for its messy organization and low efficiency. I can't believe they acted so quickly today. They've really given you face, haven't they? "
"Isn't that only natural? He's my student! He's my student! He's the sole heir to the Rohlserlian Empire! What's so special about this? "The Archmage said.
'Can we not talk about these useless titles? If you say that I'm a perverted armor who likes little girls, I'm sure more people would recognize that title, right? ' Baiyi could not help but feel helpless at his teacher's behavior of spouting nonsense from time to time.
He turned to his students and said, "Let's go. Let's go see the legendary City in the Clouds."
The Babel Tower and the City in the Clouds were actually two things: the headquarters of the Sorcerer's Association. They were located on a large island in the east of the Southern Land that was close to the mainland. It was an uninhabited desert, completely isolated from the rest of the world. It had an air of elegance and elegance that did not belong to the mundane world.
However, the scenery on the island was still very good. After everyone walked out of the Teleportation Gate that was specially set up on the island's periphery, it was as if they were in an otherworldly fairyland. There were wonderful plants that flickered with flowing lights and vibrant colors, and the ground was paved with large bluestone slabs that were drawn with various runes, creating a mysterious and elegant feeling. In the words of Earth, this was a surreal realm filled with a magical aura that could give people a wonderful experience of being in a dream.
Even the chubby president, who had been tainted with a lot of profiteering aura, exuded an extraordinary and unique aura when he arrived. He gracefully and politely invited the group to sit in a special carriage that was specially set up at the entrance. It was a carriage that was completely powered by mana. Other than the squarish interior, it still had the feel of a car from Earth.
As the carriage slowly moved forward, a huge tower appeared in front of the group. It was so tall that it looked like a pillar that held up the sky. It reached up to the clouds, and even higher up in the sky, one could vaguely see the silhouette of a city in the clouds.
Even the girls who had seen the majestic scenery of Gouve could not help but gape in awe at the sight of it. The non-human students were even more dumbfounded. They could not help but marvel at how powerful humans were.
Even though they had seen it in their memories, looking at it now, the visual effect was really amazing. It was indeed a masterpiece that they could be proud of. Baiyi exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
A few moments later, the group arrived at the foot of the Babel Tower. The gigantic tower looked like a city wall, and people walked in and out of the open city gate. The emblem of the Sorcerer's Association was engraved on the gate. It was a circle of formation, and in the center was a hand flipping through a large black book. The cover of the book was engraved with a few runes.
"Can you read it?" Baiyi pointed at the emblem and asked the students, who were looking left and right.
