Of course, graphene batteries also have levels, and it is impossible to achieve the desired results as soon as they are put into commercial use. As the propaganda says, after 10 minutes of charging, an electric car can run a thousand kilometers.
This is of course the most ideal and the result everyone hopes to get. But in reality it is very difficult to achieve. This is just like artificial intelligence. Everyone hopes that artificial intelligence can be advanced enough and smart enough, just like our human brain. However, although the current development of artificial intelligence is rapid, it is far from achieving the results expected by everyone.
Due to limitations in materials, manufacturing technology, cost, etc. Even if graphene batteries are released, they may be much stronger than ordinary lithium batteries on the market, but they can still be as exaggerated as advertised.
In fact, regarding graphene technology, the relevant laboratories and R&D teams of Haoyu Technology have also been researching and have achieved some success.
However, these technologies will not be applied immediately, but will be used as technical reserves and stored in the company's data database to prepare for future needs.
It’s not just graphene technology. The company’s data database stores many research and scientific research successes, covering a very broad range.
Some of these technologies have already been released and are used in newly released related products, while others continue to be stored, waiting for emergencies.
Along with these technologies, of course, come a large number of technology patents. As domestic technology copyright laws and regulations become more stringent, major companies attach great importance to the application and registration of technology patents.
In fact, this has become a business or a useful weapon in the hands of major companies. Therefore, there are often cases of rush registration of patents. Regardless of the technology or design, the patent application is registered first.
In this way, even if you don't use it in the future, you can authorize others to use it. And it can also become a powerful weapon against competitors at critical moments.
Of course Wu Hao and the others also attach great importance to the application and registration of technical patents, and have also established a special department to be responsible for these matters.
At present, the company's annual number of patent applications and registrations has firmly ranked among the top in the country, and has even reached the top from time to time.
And in terms of the quality of technology patents, their company is also the best. This is not because they are selling melons and boasting, but is statistics published by professional and authoritative organizations.
In fact, these technology patents do not represent all of Wu Hao’s technology, they are just a part of all their technology patents.
For example, they have many technologies that have not been announced to the public for the time being, and many technologies need to be kept secret by themselves.
For example, the formula and manufacturing process of super solid-state batteries are currently kept secret.
There are also some products that are not suitable for patent application. Just like the Fujia intelligent attack drones they developed, the Crazy Bee swarm array attack system, the battlefield sweeper individual strike system, the Jianmu-1 and Jianmu-2 launch vehicles, and so on. Such cutting-edge weapons and equipment are generally kept strictly confidential, so how can they register a patent and make it public?
For Wu Hao and others, or for most companies, applying for a registered patent is just to better protect their technology, design, and creativity.
Trading disclosure for protection is the basic concept of patents.
This approach is not necessarily entirely beneficial; it has pros and cons. The positive side is that through the protection of relevant patent laws and regulations in various countries and regions, your technology, design, and creativity are jointly protected by everyone, and your legitimate rights and interests are also protected.
However, this also means that you must disclose the technology, design, and ideas, and patent laws also provide for this. This kind of protection also has a certain period of time. Generally, after the patent protection period of more than ten years expires, it must be disclosed to the outside world free of charge.
At that time, this technology is no longer yours in theory. It will become the common property of the whole world, and everyone has the right to use it free of charge.
It sounds great, but in fact, it's all about profit.
Moreover, different countries attach different importance to patent protection. Countries that attach great importance to intellectual property rights have relatively complete laws and regulations on patent protection and are better implemented.
But how do you encounter companies that don't pay much attention to intellectual property rights, and the laws and regulations on patent protection are lacking or not perfect enough, and the implementation is just like a cat and a tiger, just going through the motions.
What's even more outrageous is that there are no laws and regulations in this area, or even laws and regulations that are against this aspect, and there is no awareness of this aspect at all.
Therefore, after these patents are made public, they are used by these countries or regions. for example……
If you encounter this situation, you can only admit that you are unlucky.
There are even some countries and regions that claim to be models of democracy, and they will use some excuse to appropriate some patented technologies.
For example, Sandu, in the field of medicine, uses excuses to seize some patented technologies of other pharmaceutical companies and produce generic drugs.
These generic drugs are naturally a boon to ordinary people and patients. But for pharmaceutical companies, it is unfair.
Pharmaceutical companies spend a lot of manpower and material resources to develop drugs, but they are stolen and copied. This is a harm to their rights and interests.
Maybe everyone applauds this kind of behavior, but if pharmaceutical companies go bankrupt or stop research and development of new drugs, it will be the general public who will be hurt in the end.
So for these pharmaceutical companies, they have a love-hate relationship with patents. Love, naturally because patent-related laws and regulations protect their legitimate rights and interests.
Hateful, naturally, because these protective measures cannot prevent some people from infringing on their legitimate rights and interests. Moreover, these patents last for more than ten years. Once they expire, they will lose ownership.
This is still a huge pressure for pharmaceutical companies that spend huge sums of money to develop drugs.
After all, the research and development of new drugs consumes too much financial resources and the time cycle is too long. Generally, three years is just the beginning for a new drug, and five years is common for the average level to last more than ten years.
And this may not be successful in research and development, and the general success rate is only 50%. In other words, it is either success or failure. The uncertainty is too high and the risk is too high.
Even if the research and development is finally successful, it will be difficult to recover the cost during such a limited protection period.
This is also the reason why the prices of many new drugs remain high. Of course, this does not rule out the fact that many pharmaceutical companies blindly pursue profits and set sky-high prices.
Therefore, many pharmaceutical companies choose to keep their information confidential. For example, some of our traditional Chinese medicines with national prefixes are kept secret, and the formulas are kept top secret.
In fact, for most companies, if their technology, creativity, and design can be kept secret by themselves, then they will never apply for registered patents.
