Eagle Country, in a conference room of the Supreme Court.
Dozens of people sat facing each other along the long dark tables, and the atmosphere was tense, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.
Their fiery eyes and cold expressions all revealed that they were two waves of people confronting each other.
Sitting in the middle of the crowd was Zheng Feng. His smile was gentle, gentle and elegant, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Sitting opposite was a middle-aged lady with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a black suit, with a noble and elegant temperament and a special intellectual beauty.
She crossed her arms, and although she was smiling, the coldness in her eyes was as sharp as an ice pick, revealing deep hostility.
Zheng Feng seemed unfazed by this exposed hostility, and smiled softly: "Dr. Doudna, in fact, there is no need for us to be so tit-for-tat. I am here for reconciliation this time, not to quarrel with you."
Ms. Doudna looked at him coldly: "Why am I not surprised at all when this comes from someone who stole our patent?"
Zheng Feng said helplessly: "Here we go again, how many times have I told you that you published the paper first, but you did not explain the application of CRISPR gene editing technology in eukaryotic cells, which is the key to human drug development. . This is exactly what we proved first, so we have patent priority.”
"These have been confirmed by the court and the patent office, and there is no point in continuing to dwell on it."
Ms. Doudna's eyes burned with anger, and she shouted: "If you get an invention from someone else, then you are not the inventor. The Nobel Prize has proven everything, justice is in the hearts of the people, and your so-called advantages are just lies to yourself and others."
Zheng Feng waved his hands and said: "Okay, let time prove everything. I'm tired after ten years of fighting. None of this means anything to me. Anyway, the patent will expire in a few years. I don't want to Let’s continue the lawsuit.”
He looked at Doudna and said solemnly: "Let's reconcile and share this patent together."
Doudna couldn't help but be stunned. She never expected that her old rival would make such a request after winning.
Both parties have been locked in a lawsuit for many years, and are very tired. They are also well aware of the final outcome. They know that the possibility of a comeback is very slim, and there is little point in persisting.
But she has already authorized a large number of patent licenses and will face huge economic losses if she does not continue to sue.
So we can only continue on the road to litigation until we can’t go any further.
She was a little confused for a moment. Zheng Feng had always given her the impression that he would do anything for his own benefit. Why would he suddenly seek peace when victory was in sight?
After a long silence, she finally said: "I don't trust you, so tell me your conditions."
Zheng Feng couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it's always so easy to talk to smart people."
"That's right. In fact, our patents are quite different. They don't conflict. They can be established separately. Of course, they can complement each other, so there is a complete basis for win-win cooperation."
"No need to say any more nonsense." Doudna sneered.
"Say your terms!" she repeated word for word.
Zheng Feng's expression changed, and he stopped smiling instantly, staring into her deep blue eyes.
"Take back the patent license you gave Sanqing and stand with us."
"Pfizer's thalassemia gene drug will be launched soon. Together we can own the entire global market."
Doudna said in surprise: "So this is your idea. But we have signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Sanqing. It is not our style to tear up the terms easily."
"Don't rush to conclusions yet, maybe you should ask Dr. Carpenti for his opinion." Zheng Feng said meaningfully.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Dr. Carpenti, a native of Gaul, was another patent owner, and I happened to be able to persuade her to agree to this condition through a very powerful friend."
"Who is this powerful friend?"
"Margarita Louis Dreyfus, the female president of the Louis Dreyfus Group in Gallia."
Doudna said thoughtfully: "It seems that you are really prepared. Louis Dreyfus Group is one of the four major grain merchants, so it is obvious that this is not just a matter of thalassemia genetic drugs, super soybeans That’s your ultimate goal.”
Zheng Feng shook his head and nodded: "Gene medicine is my goal, and genetic crops are the goal of the Broad Institute."
"Therefore, we must snipe the Sanqing to make them completely trapped beasts without their claws."
"CRISPR technology must not be allowed to be used any longer. Super soybeans, genetic drugs, who knows what they will come up with again."
He looked at Doudna and reiterated his wishes.
"In short, we are willing to share patents as the price for you to give up the Sanqing patent fees. How about this? This condition is generous enough."
Doudna sneered: "The market for thalassemia gene drugs is so big, can you afford it by yourself?"
"Haha, don't we still have Pfizer?"
"Okay, as long as you give me enough, I have no reason to refuse, but the specific terms will need to be discussed carefully." Doudna happily agreed.
Zheng Feng showed a satisfied smile: "It makes sense. After all, Europa and Eagle Country are a community of interests. Blocking the Sanqing and the increasingly powerful China behind it is our common goal, isn't it?"
"Haha, what national interests are you talking about? If I remember correctly, you are from China." Doudna glanced at him, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Zheng Feng's face twitched and he said nonchalantly: "I immigrated here with my parents when I was very young. I have always regarded myself as a native of the Eagle Country. I have long forgotten what happened before."
Doudna chuckled and said no more.
The two parties began to discuss the details of the division of interests. After a fierce quarrel, they finally reached a cooperation with difficulty.
A few days later, the Broad Institute held another press conference.
Zheng Feng announced the settlement with Doudna's team in a cheerful manner, announcing that both parties would jointly own the patent for CRISPR technology and would share the revenue from patent licensing fees by country and region.
At the same time, he also announced another news.
The CRISPR patent licenses obtained by Sanqing Group in China, Europe and other countries will be abolished.
Sanqing will be prohibited from using this gene editing technology for any commercial development.
Including but not limited to a series of research and development of genetic drugs, genetic animals, and genetic crops.
When the news came out, a huge earthquake occurred instantly.
Netizens around the world were shocked. They picked up the keyboard at the speed of light and devoted themselves to the fierce melon-eating business. Everyone was noisy.
Everyone smelled the choking smell of gunpowder.
This war between Sanqing and the Broad Institute is about to break out.
And Zheng Feng did not disappoint everyone. He also took Sanqing to court with a lawsuit.
However, this time it is in the base camp of Sanqing, Huaxia!
Suddenly, the Sanqing Group was in a situation where it was being attacked from both sides.
Countless eyes swept over Sanqing like a spotlight, all looking forward to its reaction.
Facing the enemy's declaration of war, where will Sanqing go?
Are you giving in like Xia Xing and punishing yourself with three cups?
Or is the thunder angry and fighting back?
