Chapter 434 Reverse Patent Squatting: The Chu Family's Legal Department Breaks Through the Defe
Chapter 434 Reverse Patent Squatting: The Chu Family's Legal Department Breaks Through the Defe
The news of the successful cultivation of "Jiangnong No. 1" spread like wildfire.
Within a single day, the news spread throughout the agricultural sector of Nanjiang Province.
Those large-scale grain growers and agricultural company owners who were held hostage by the Chu family, who spent a lot of money to buy imported seeds, but were tormented by various diseases and pests.
At this moment, everyone's eager gaze was turned to that little-known mountain village—Jiangjia Village.
Countless phone calls flooded into the village committee of Jiangjia Village.
Jiang Chen's phone had been ringing non-stop since morning, practically exploding with calls.
Jiang Chen did not rush to discuss cooperation with these people, nor did he hide his technology and wait for a better price to sell it.
He immediately put his phone on silent mode, then made a call to summon Attorney Zhou to his office.
In the office, Jiang Chen slammed a thick stack of experimental data reports, still smelling of ink, onto the table in front of Attorney Zhou.
"Uncle Zhou, it's time for your old tricks."
"Apply for all relevant patents worldwide for this 'native hybridization technology,' which possesses complete independent intellectual property rights, as quickly as possible!"
Jiang Chen's expression was somewhat cold.
"From breeding, pollination, and selection to later cultivation, every step and every detail should be registered as a patent barrier for me!"
"I will use magic to defeat magic!"
Attorney Zhou pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, revealing a highly professional yet ruthless smile in his eyes behind the lenses.
He picked up the report, carefully read through it, and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"President Jiang, please rest assured."
"This data is done so perfectly, it's flawless and without any flaws."
"Is the Chu family trying to play the intellectual property barrier game with us?"
Attorney Zhou smiled.
"Today, I'll show them what it means to show off your skills in front of an expert, and what it means to dig your own grave!"
The next three days.
Attorney Zhou and his elite team of lawyers demonstrated formidable fighting power.
They split into several groups and simultaneously submitted applications to dozens of patent offices both domestically and internationally.
With the hardcore experimental data that left no room for criticism from the reviewers, and Jiang Chen's generous "money power" paving the way.
In just three days.
Jiangshi Pangu Native Seed Industry Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiangshi Group, was officially established.
Jiang Chen firmly holds 47 core hybridization technology patents, including "Jiangnong No. 1".
The patent network that the Chu family used to block the world became a piece of waste paper in the face of Jiang Chen's patent network, which came later, was more basic, and more primitive.
The day the company was officially established.
Jiang Chen released an announcement through the official channels of the Jiang Group.
The announcement was simple and direct, consisting of only two sentences.
Starting today, the "Jiangnong No. 1" series of seeds are available to all local farmers in Nam Giang Province!
"The price will be permanently locked at half the market price of similar imported seeds!"
This announcement was like a bombshell, completely detonating in the agricultural market of the entire Nanjiang Province, and even the whole country.
. . .
Meanwhile, in the capital city.
Inside the oppressive atmosphere of the Chu family headquarters, in that courtyard house.
The Asia-Pacific CEO of the multinational seed industry group controlled by Chu Tiankuo, a foreign executive with an annual salary of tens of millions of US dollars.
He was holding a newly released emergency market report, trembling and standing nervously in front of Chu Tiankuo.
"Mr. Chu...Chu..."
The executive was pale, sweat soaking the collar of his expensive custom-made suit, and he stammered a report in broken Chinese.
"No...this is terrible!"
"Our...our monopolized imported seeds saw our market share in Nanjiang Province plummet to zero within three days!"
"Not a single one! We can't sell a single one!"
The executive's voice was filled with fear.
"That Jiang Chen... he somehow produced a batch... a batch of monster-like seeds!"
"The yield is ridiculously high, it's pest-free, and the price is only half of ours!"
"The most...most critical thing is that they've filed a reverse patent! All our hybridization and improvement techniques are based on their native species, and now...our patents are...just a pile of worthless paper!"
boom!
For the first time, Chu Tiankuo did not prune his beloved Podocarpus macrophyllus.
He raised his foot and kicked the million-dollar purple clay flowerpot hard.
Expensive Japanese imported Akadama soil, mixed with broken pottery, was scattered all over the ground.
The elegant Podocarpus macrophyllus tree, which he had carefully nurtured for over a decade, lay sprawled on the ground, its branches and leaves broken.
Chu Tiankuo's face was frighteningly dark.
His usually calm eyes were now burning with an unprecedented rage.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, one by one.
"A group of... villagers with hoes..."
"Incredibly, in my area of expertise, in the mud, they broke through the genetic barrier I'd built with billions of dollars?!"
. . .
[Ding! The system has detected that the host has swiftly and decisively shattered the patent blockade imposed by multinational seed companies, safeguarding the foundation of national agriculture with local wisdom and achieving independent control over core technologies!]
[Behavioral Assessment: SS+ Level! Unparalleled Achievement!]
[Trigger a 1000x ultimate, god-like critical strike cashback!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received a cash reward of 800 billion yuan! A dedicated offshore sovereign wealth fund account has been automatically opened for you!]
[Ding! Bonus reward for the host: Unique strategic aura - Shennong's Protection!]
[Halo Effect: Centered on your farm, the weather will be favorable, and within a hundred miles, the area will be forever protected from extreme natural disasters such as major droughts, floods, locust plagues, and hailstorms!]
In Jiang Chen's mind, the system's notification sound was like heavenly music.
He was sitting in his office, legs crossed, leisurely figuring out how to spend the 800 billion.
Just then.
His personal cell phone suddenly rang.
On the screen was an encrypted, unknown number from Beijing.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and pressed the answer button.
There was complete silence on the other end of the phone.
A few seconds later, a man's voice, extremely suppressed yet carrying a strong sense of danger, came over.
The voice was deep and filled with resentment.
"Jiang Chen".
"You're really going all out with this mud."
As Jiang Chen listened to the notification sound from the bank on his phone that the money had been deposited into his account, he comfortably leaned back in his boss's chair and propped his legs up on the desk.
He retorted lazily in the purest, earthy, and plainest language.
"I don't know how big the stakes are."
"But I know that your face, Young Master Chu, must be swollen and red from being slapped, like a ripe purple eggplant, right?"
