Copycat?
Infringement?
Is this a joke?
Tang Ruoxue felt unspeakably absurd. She was the original creator of the product, so how could it become an infringement?
"The secret recipe of Ruoxuebaiyao was written by Ye Fan himself, and only a few R&D staff and I know it."
"And those R&D personnel have been staying in the laboratory these days, and they only know part of the secret recipe that they are responsible for. It is impossible to leak it."
"How could the other party know our formula and register the patent before us?"
Tang Ruoxue turned to look at Mark, and then shook her head without hesitation. Neither she nor Mark would let Ma Daha leak the secret.
As for the prescription not written by Ye Fan, that is even more impossible.
If the prescription had existed a long time ago, it would not have been Down's syndrome's turn to produce it. The owner had already made a lot of money from it, so how could it be taken out now?
Moreover, the fact that the prescription appeared in just these few days, either sooner or later, means that it is 100% leaked.
Qin Shijie also thought the same way: "Maybe someone leaked the secret..."
"Judging from the fact that they not only know that we are producing Ruoxue Baiyao, but also use the launch of the first batch of products to suppress us, there are probably a lot of informants watching us!"
"To put it simply, if the formula was really written by Dr. Ye, it means that the formula has been targeted very early."
"They first used illegal means to steal the formula, and then took advantage of our confusion to apply for a patent in advance."
"The most vicious thing is that he stole our formula and turned around to suppress us and turn us into copycats."
He truthfully informed Tang Ruoxue of her current situation: "Now legally, we are in a very disadvantageous position..."
Gao Jing's brows also wrinkled: "Who is so powerful that, while taking advantage of others, he also confuses right and wrong and stabs us?"
Leak! Leak! Someone must have leaked the secret!
Tang Ruoxue's eyes turned cold:
"Gao Jing, let me control all R&D personnel. No one is allowed to leave the laboratory without my order."
She didn't know which link had gone wrong, but there must be something fishy about the relevant personnel, so she could only detain it immediately for investigation.
If we find the evidence, we can turn this battle over, otherwise we will be labeled as a copycat.
Gao Jing nodded and quickly took out her mobile phone to dial.
Tang Ruoxue asked again: "Lawyer Qin, can you find out which company sued us?"
Qin Shijie hurriedly replied: "I found it. It's Red Star Pharmaceutical Company. They applied for the patent, and they also sued us for copying it."
"Red Star Sixth Factory?"
Tang Ruoxue narrowed her eyes: "This is an old company that is almost empty..."
She still knows a little bit about this industry.
Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory No. 6 was once a state-owned enterprise that made its fortune selling trauma ointments for children. Later, it suffered from poor management and nearly went bankrupt. It laid off 90% of its workers five years ago.
Now it relies on OEM to survive, but it has not been delisted.
Tang Ruoxue never expected that such a pharmaceutical company would stand up and dare to sue herself.
"They got $100 million in venture capital a week ago."
Without Tang Ruoxue's instructions, Qin Shijie picked up his cell phone to inquire again, and then reported to Tang Ruoxue:
"Then they purchased equipment as quickly as possible, rented factory buildings, and hired many pharmaceutical personnel with high salaries from other places."
"I submitted the formula patent application three days ago and it was tested and passed the day before yesterday."
"There is no doubt that they only got the formula in the past few days, otherwise it would not be so urgent."
"This proves once again that there are leakers among us."
He added: "By the way, the current legal person of Red Star Pharmaceutical is Yuan Hua."
Tang Ruoxue's eyes turned cold instantly: "Yuan Hua?"
"Wang Qiaochu's people."
Ye Fan, who had been silent, took over the topic:
"If my estimate is correct, the man behind this incident is Wang Qiaochu."
Ye Fan smiled bitterly: "And it was me who caught his attention."
Tang Ruoxue was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"
Gao Jing and Qin Shijie also looked at Ye Fan.
"During the conflict at the bar in the base area, I killed Kameda and the others and was arrested by Yang Hongxing and taken to the police station."
Ye Fan told what happened that morning:
"Zheng Xiangsi, Wang Qiaochu, and Wang Qingwu were also taken away."
"When I was released on bail, Wang Qiaochu saw that I was familiar with Wang Qingwu, so he took the bodyguard's dagger and stabbed me."
"Wang Qingwu blocked the knife for me and grabbed the dagger with her hand. There was a bloody cut on her palm."
"I saw that the blood was bleeding quickly and the injury was a bit serious, so I applied Ruoxuebai medicine to her."
"I think it was then that Ruoxue Baiyao caught Wang Qiaochu's attention..."
"After all, he is the person in charge of Wang's Baiyao. He is naturally sensitive to this kind of medicine. At the same time, he is also worried about losing market share to me."
"And Yuan Hua is a member of Wang Qiaochu's circle, so 99% of the time he stole the secret recipe."
Ye Fan smiled bitterly: "I really shouldn't use white medicine outside..."
"So that's it!"
When Tang Ruoxue heard what Mark said, she nodded in realization.
With Wang Qiaochu's intelligence, he can definitely detect business opportunities and crises from Ruoxue Baiyao.
But her eyebrows quickly wrinkled again: "It's just that even if Wang Qiaochu covets the medicine, he has no way to get the secret recipe."
"You won't give it to him, I won't give it to him, and it's unlikely that the R&D staff will give it to him."
"How did he get it?"
She couldn't figure it out.
Ye Fan gave an answer: "Aunt Lin Qi."
Tang Ruoxue was startled, then shook her head:
"It's impossible. She's just a toilet cleaner, and she's miles away from the secret recipe."
"Can't touch it, can't steal it."
Although she hated Aunt Lin Qi, she didn't think she was capable of leaking secrets.
Ye Fanshi uttered two words in shock: "Fire..."
Tang Ruoxue's expression suddenly froze...
"Mr. Tang, your products are produced without testing and permission, which violates the medical management regulations!"
"Mr. Tang, the ingredient description of your product is exactly the same as that provided by the plaintiff. We will take the product away for testing."
"From now on, you must stop the production of Ruoxue Pharmaceuticals and provide us with a list of legal persons and technical backbones for investigation."
"We will also seal down the entire factory area and conduct further investigations!"
Two hours later, Captain Nangong announced a series of regulations to Tang Ruoxue and also imposed preliminary penalties on Ruoxue Pharmaceutical.
Seeing so many products blocked and the entire factory going out of business, Tang Ruoxue was heartbroken.
All her hopes and expectations came to nothing, and it was really a transition from heaven to hell for her.
Gao Jing and Qin Shijie made more than a dozen calls, trying to settle the matter at the minimum cost, but all ended in vain.
Someone brought this matter to Yang Hongxing. It was a matter of life. Yang Hongxing instructed that the case must be thoroughly investigated.
Tang Ruoxue had no choice but to ask the legal person Gao Jing and Captain Nangong to go back to investigate, and at the same time let Qin Shijie have full authority to handle the case.
And she took Ye Fan and others straight to the Tang family villa like a whirlwind.
"Seventh Aunt, you have to give me an explanation..."
