What is the 3rd way? Everyone is very concerned.
After all, this matter involves the life and death of Lingyue Company.
For Chen Xiao or Wang Xiang, Lingyue Company is dead. After all, there is Changtian Technology, lithium battery technology, and the 11181 website that can make profits.
But for Zhou Linghua, it is obvious that Lingyue Company is everything.
Zhou Linghua quickly asked: "Do you mean to reach a court settlement with Netac?"
Zhou Linghua seemed to have hit the point.
In fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, if a court settlement can be reached with Netac, it will be very beneficial to Lingyue even if it compensates Netac for a fee.
But that's not what Chen Xiao was thinking about.
Chen Xiao said: "The current situation is not suitable for us to reach a settlement with Netac for two reasons."
"First, if we take the initiative to find a settlement with Netac, Netac will definitely be in a stronger negotiating position. At that time, their demands may not be more comfortable than those in these materials."
"Second, whether it is Changtian Company or Lingyue Company, we are both in the initial stage of the company's development. At this time, reputation and reputation are particularly important to the company."
"If we sue for peace with Netac, it will definitely damage our image."
"The nature of our infringement of Netac's patent and illegal use of flash memory is similar to that of false advertising."
"If our reputation and image are compromised, it will be very difficult to become a high-end brand in the future."
Chen Xiao's words made the master calm down.
At this moment, Zhou Linghua strongly agreed with the two views put forward by Chen Xiao.
Zhou Linghua asked eagerly: "Then what is the third way you mentioned?"
Chen Xiao smiled, took a sip of tea and said, "Hold on!"
"ah!"
Chen Xiao's statement confused everyone.
Chen Xiao explained: "We have to delay. Regardless of whether Toshiba and Netac have reached a relevant agreement that does not allow the products to be used as raw materials for third-party products, this will not affect the purpose we want to achieve."
"What we have to do is actively respond to the lawsuit. This lawsuit involves three parties, Netac, Lingyue and Toshiba, and involves two countries, Xia Guo and Toyo."
"We actively respond to lawsuits, hand over decision-making power to relevant departments, and let the court collect evidence."
"At present, Dongyang and Xia Guo have not signed any agreement on judicial assistance. According to my understanding of this type of lawsuit, it will basically not be a problem to take two or three years to complete the case."
"In the past two or three years, what should we do? What will happen to us?"
Wang Xiang was a little puzzled, "Then what's the point of dragging it on? If it's still judged in the end, what if we lose?"
This is the crux of the matter.
Chen Xiao said: "What impact do you think the flash memory product will have on the computer industry?"
Although products such as solid-state drives have not yet appeared, computer USB flash drives and other storage tools will be increasingly widely used.
Wang Xiang and Zhou Linghua are both in this industry, so they still have this basic insight.
Wang Xiang expressed his opinion, "It is very important! It can be said that future computers will definitely be inseparable from flash memory!"
"That's right!" Chen Xiao said with a snap of his fingers: "Through this lawsuit, we are trying to make the relevant departments of the country understand the importance of flash memory."
"For products like this, which are not very technical and have very common applications, even if a company has a patent, it must not prevent other companies from using the product's technology."
Chen Xiao mentioned two key words of flash memory.
One is that the technical content is not very high, and the other is that it has widespread application significance.
"When the relevant departments of the country fully understand what happened, I guess the final handling method will be like this -"
"The country will definitely allow the company to produce and use flash memory products on its own, but it will pay Netac some patent fees accordingly during the patent protection period."
"At the same time, Netac shall not interfere with or prevent these companies from producing and applying flash memory products."
Chen Xiao did not come up with these words by patting his head on his own, but had rich practical experience.
Before Chen Xiao was reborn, products that had relatively low technical content and had universal application significance, but were accidentally developed and patented by a certain company in advance, had only two outcomes.
The first result is that the patent is invalid.
The second result is what Chen Xiao just said, any company can produce and use it, it just needs to pay some patent fees.
These two results, no matter which one they are, are very beneficial to Ling Yue.
Langke's boss didn't come from the future. It was his first time encountering such a thing, so he didn't consider the consequences at all.
Zhou Linghua marveled at the case and said, "That's the truth!"
"Netac invented flash memory technology, but they just invented this storage method. Currently, all flash memory chips come from Japan and the United States."
"And the development and application of flash memory particle chips (the current flash memory on the market uses MLC particles, and TLC particles have not been widely used at this time) is even more confusing. No company has a patent for such technology, but can only produce it. There are only a few companies producing flash memory chips.”
Netac's U disk (flash disk) patent is more similar to the flashlight patent.
Netac didn't invent the light bulb, nor did Netac invent the battery. It's just that Netac combined these two things in a box, which can be carried around and emit light.
When Chen Xiao said this, everyone suddenly realized.
And Chen Xiao also has a trump card - carbon crystal storage!
This is not the relationship between light bulbs and flashlights, but a storage technology that has its own core technology.
At present, the equipment development of the carbon crystal storage laboratory has reached the most critical moment.
It is expected to wait up to another month before the equipment can be produced.
Chen Xiao uses different parts of the core equipment to allow different workers to produce, and adopts an industrial encryption production method.
Therefore, ordinary workers do not know what they are producing, let alone steal secrets.
Only after Chen Xiao finally assembles these parts will a complete carbon crystal storage production equipment be born.
According to Chen Xiao's understanding of the carbon crystal storage instructions, as soon as the carbon crystal storage is produced, let alone U disks, even memory (carbon crystal storage can be used as memory), mechanical disks and even future solid-state disks will have There is absolutely no competitiveness in front of them.
This is Chen Xiao's real trump card.
So whether we can win the lawsuit with Netac is not important at all.
The two sides are simply not competing on the same level.
It's just that Deng Yun didn't realize it at all.
