Starting from a Fake University-Chapter 118 - 117 School Patent Infringed? (3)_1

"Principal Ding, rest assured, our faculty and student teams at the Medical School will continue to work diligently on compiling the ’Complete Collection of Medical Cases and Treatment Schemes’."

Bai Liwei knew this.

This was the time to make a good impression.

In the future, the Medical School might be considered by Principal Ding as a focal department for development.

Once regarded as a priority by the university, the educational funds from the university group would surely lean towards the Medical School.

This was a great opportunity for Mist City Arts and Science University’s Medical School to rise to prominence.

"Also, Director Bai, remember to apply for a patent for the ’Complete Collection of Medical Cases and Treatment Schemes’ that you’ve compiled."

Ding Yue reminded him.

The School would certainly place emphasis on patenting.

After all, the ’Complete Collection of Medical Cases and Treatment Schemes’ is the fruit of labor contributed by the faculty and student teams of the Medical School of the Mist City Arts and Science University, for which patent protection should definitely be sought.

Last semester, the architecture team led by Liu Chuanjie submitted a patent for their library design ’Bookship’ after it won the Hop Cup Best Creative Award.

Ding Yue always valued patent applications and copyright of products researched and developed by students or teams of the Mist City Arts and Science University.

After applying for the patent, Ding Yue usually held onto it for the school.

For example, the architecture team’s design patent for ’Bookship’ is now held by Mist City Arts and Science University.

Of course, the team led by Liu Chuanjie also received appropriate compensation.

Similarly.

Once Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei’s team create their robot Big White, Ding Yue would also buy the patent.

Only by keeping patents and copyrights in his own hands could Ding Yue maximize their value.

"Understood, Principal Ding. After we’ve compiled the ’Complete Collection of Medical Cases and Treatment Schemes’ at the Medical School, we’ll submit the materials to the National Patent Agency for patent application."

"Alright, keep up the good work."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yue turned to Tong Yihang’s team: "Don’t forget to apply for a patent for the Big White robot you’ve developed with Polyvinyl Alcohol Fiber + Carbon Fiber as the main structure, understand?"

"Yes, we understand Principal Ding." Tong Yihang immediately nodded.

Once the Big White robot is patented, they wouldn’t need to worry about someone infringing on their rights if it was widely popular and loved by people.

After touring the Mechanical Manufacturing Laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering Department for half an hour, Ding Yue returned to his office.

Huang Youjie and Xu Bin went back to take care of their own responsibilities.

Ding Yue, who had returned to his office and was browsing the system mall, was suddenly interrupted by his secretary, Wen Ruohan.

"Principal Ding, something’s happened!"

Wen Ruohan rushed to the office desk, swallowed, and said.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately put away the system panel, wondering if there had been a safety incident at the school expansion construction site?

Could he really be that unlucky?

"Principal Ding, our school’s library design patent has been infringed upon!" Wen Ruohan said indignantly.

She had her phone in hand and was about to show Principal Ding the information online.

At this moment, Ding Yue’s phone rang.

It was Director Chen Ping from the Architecture School who had called. Ding Yue immediately picked up the phone: "Hello, Director Chen."

"Principal Ding, we have just discovered that the county library design approved by Shuisi County seems to infringe upon our school’s ’Bookship’ library design patent."

Upon answering the call, Chen Ping immediately informed Ding Yue about the issue.

"What?"

Confused, Ding Yue felt that it would be difficult to clarify over the phone, so he asked Director Chen Ping to bring Liu Chuanjie, student Cui Hai and teacher Su Weize to his office.

"Alright, I’ll call Liu Chuanjie and Su right away and head over."

Beep beep beep.

After hanging up, Ding Yue looked up solemnly at Wen Ruohan, his brow furrowed, and asked, "Director Chen just mentioned to me that Shuisi County’s county library design has infringed our school’s library design patent. What exactly happened?"

No way, Ding Yue thought. How can something like this happen?

"Principal Ding, this is what happened. This morning, the Shuisi County Construction official Twitter account announced the construction of what they claimed to be the largest county library in the nation, revealing the design. Our students chanced upon this tweet and noticed that the design for Shuisi County’s library strongly resembled that of our new ’Bookship’ library."

As Wen Ruohan spoke, she found the tweet on her mobile device and handed it over to Ding Yue to see.

At first glance, Ding Yue instantly thought of the ’Bookship’ designed by Liu Chuanjie’s team.

"Isn’t this design our ’Bookship’??"

Ding Yue furrowed his brows.

"Yes, it’s too similar. Even the design concepts are the same. It’s too outrageous!" Wen Ruohan was so angry that she stomped her foot.

You see, on the internet, Wen Ruohan was a battler.

Ding Yue looked up Shuisi County online, a place in the southwest of Xia Country known for its quirky character. In recent years, they had obtained countless loans to construct landmark buildings. They’re currently preparing to build a sensational, largest county library in the country.

Furthermore, the design for the library had already been set.

Ha!

As it turned out, the county library’s design had infringed upon the patent of Mist City Arts and Science University’s ’Bookship.’

How could this happen?

Ding!

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the task [Protect Patent Rights]!"

"Task Details: The school’s design patent has been infringed upon. Please ensure that the school’s patent is protected properly."

"Task Rewards: +50 reputation points, +5 million education fund, +1 Level 1 University Treasure Chest."

Upon hearing the task alert from the system in his mind, Ding Yue immediately instructed Wen Ruohan: "Wen Ruohan, call Director Huang and Tan, the director of the law school, over!"

"Yes, Principal Ding."

The best solution for an infringement of a design patent is to use legal means to protect the school’s patent.

A corresponding system task was generated just in time.

As long as Ding Yue successfully safeguards this wave of patent infringements, he can also obtain system rewards, thus ensuring a gain without a loss.

At the same time, this presents an opportunity to create some buzz. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"Also, get Director Liu Hongxia from the Publicity Department over here too," Ding Yue added, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth.

If they prevailed in the lawsuit for Shuisi County’s architectural design infringement, it would undoubtedly be sensational news.

Ding Yue could already envision Mist City Arts and Science University raking in another wave of popularity.

Before long, Director Chen Ping arrived at the Principal’s office with Liu Chuanjie and Cui Hai, and Professor Su Weize, among others.

Upon a second confirmation by Liu Chuanjie’s team.

The architectural design of Shuisi County was indeed largely similar to their ’Bookship’ design.

Huang Youjie and Tan Yongyuan, the department head of the law school, also arrived.

"Principal Ding, this architectural design is basically a copy of our school’s ’Bookship’ library design," Huang Youjie complained indignantly as soon as he entered.

"You already knew?"

Hearing this, Ding Yue looked at Huang Youjie.

It seemed that Huang had learned about the patent infringement by the library that Shuisi County intended to build on Mist City Arts and Science University’s library design before he even arrived.

"Yes, I just checked Twitter," Huang Youjie nodded.

"Director Huang, Director Tan, does this situation constitute a patent infringement? Can we file a lawsuit?" Ding Yue asked the two professionals for their opinions.

"Of course it’s an infringement. We will definitely win this lawsuit!" Huang Youjie affirmed angrily.

Tan Yongyuan also confirmed with certainty: "Yes, Principal Ding, our school’s ’Bookship’ library design has applied for a design patent, thus this design of Shuisi County indeed constitutes an infringement of the design patent."

"Can we file a lawsuit?"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving Director Tan Yongyuan’s positive answer, Ding Yue’s gaze hardened as he announced decisively: "Then we’ll sue!"

At this point, Director Liu Hongxia of the Publicity Department also arrived in the office.

"Principal Ding, you wanted to see me?"

"Director Liu, does your department not yet know what has happened?"

"What happened?"

It seemed that Liu Hongxia really did not know what had transpired.

"Student Wen Ruohan, could you tell Director Liu what has happened?" Ding Yue first asked Wen Ruohan to explain to Liu Hongxia the infringement of the patent by Shuisi County.

He then continued with the discussion about suing Shuisi County with Director Huang and Director Tan.

In less than half a day, the news of the school’s library design patent infringement by Shuisi County spread swiftly amongst the students of Mist City Arts and Science University.

For a time, the school’s forums, various class group chats, and even Twitter, were filled with students of Mist City Arts and Science University voicing their indignant condemnation of Shuisi County’s patent infringement.

#Twitter topic#——

"Isn’t the architect hired by Shuisi County really low quality? Don’t they know this is Mist City Arts and Science University’s design patent?"

"They dared to infringe on our library design patent, disgusting!"

"What does the school plan to do about this?"

"I think the school will probably negotiate with Shuisi County."

"Could it be that the designer did it on purpose? Our school’s ’Bookship’ library design won the Hop Cup Best Creative Award. To dare to infringe this... "

"Shuisi County borrowed several billion to build various big projects. Is there anything they wouldn’t dare to do?"

"The bolder you are, the more you can produce!"

"@ Chen Ping from the School of Architecture, Director Chen, aren’t you going to say something? What does the school plan to do about this situation?"

"@ Chen Ping from the School of Architecture, our patent has been infringed upon. Shouldn’t we provide some explanation?"

Chen Ping’s mailbox was filled with all kinds of inquiries from students. The students were very eager to know what kind of response the school would have to this incident.

"I hope Principal Ding won’t wimp out!"

"Exactly, we are in the right for this. We must protect the school’s design patent."

After seeing the student’s outrage on the school forum and Twitter, Ding Yue immediately had the Publicity Department issue a statement.

He also entrusted Director Tan of the law school with this matter, instructing him to collect all the evidence of patent infringement, then send a legal notice to Shuisi County and sue them and their architect for patent infringement in the Mist City court.

Very quickly, the school’s Publicity Department posted a public announcement on the school’s official website and public account following Principal Ding’s instructions.

Mist City Arts and Science University Official Website——

[Announcement Regarding the Infringement of Our School Library Patent]:

Today, our school discovered that Shuisi County’s confirmed county library design is very similar to the design of ’Bookship·Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves’, which our school’s Department of Architecture’s team (comprising of Liu Chuanjie, Cui Hai and Su Weize) already applied a patent for, raising suspicions of patent infringement. After some consideration by the school committee, it was determined that in order to protect the hard work and wisdom of our students and teachers, Principal Ding has ordered our legal department to formally commence a patent infringement lawsuit.

April 5, 2021.

When this announcement from Mist City Arts and Science University was made, the students cheered instantly.

They all praised Principal Ding’s swift and resolute reaction to protect the school’s patents!
