Chapter 51: The Country Has Got Your Back!

  The battle has begun.

  Xiao Dehua handed over the photocopies of the patent documents for Rocket Car and Adventure Island, saying: "Rocket Car is a patented product of Konami, a well-known Japanese game manufacturer. The Cosmic Cruiser that Little King Company plagiarized also belongs to them. Given the severe impact of this incident, we believe that, in line with the consistent practice of Chinese people, it is highly likely that Red Sun Electronics Factory also plagiarized."

  "What did you say?!"

  "What did you just say? Are you Chinese or not?"

  The Chinese side has already had someone blow up, roaring, pounding the table, standing up and rolling up their sleeves, and even someone picking up the ashtray on the table to smash it out.

  Xiao Dehua's words are too venomous, his meaning is that Chinese people have a natural habit of plagiarism, Xiaobawang plagiarized, so Jieyang must also be plagiarizing.

  What kind of logic is this? Does Zhang San do something, and Li Si must follow suit? Moreover, everyone knows that Xiao Dehua is a Taiwanese, and in his words, his subconscious has already excluded himself. He accuses the Chinese people, of course, he won't include himself, so it can be understood as Xiao Dehua thinking that Taiwanese are not Chinese, this is outright separatist ideology!

  Absolutely unbearable!

  "Mr. Xiao! State your business and don't be too excessive! Is dragging in irrelevant matters of any use?"

  Xiao Dehua was so rebuked by others that he realized he had misspoken, but he stubbornly refused to admit his mistake: "Then please take a look at the patent documents of Kolemi and then talk."

  Liu Sicong casually tossed the patent documents for the rocket car, not even bothering to look at them. He nodded his head and said, "Xiao Yang, show him a complete photocopy of your patent documents!"

  Yang Yun handed over a complete set of photocopies, in both Chinese and English, two copies in total. The Japanese men passed them around, looking at each other in dismay.

  While waiting for the Japanese to verify, Yang Yun smiled: "Director Xiao, I know what you want to say. I just like to call it a rocket car, and I insist on calling this name, what can you do with me? As long as the international patent name I applied for is different from Colema, is the coincidence of Chinese translation names also an infringement?"

  Xiao Dehua read the document and thought to himself that it was not good. He indeed suspected Yang Yun of copyright infringement because the Chinese name of Red Sun Rocket Car was the same as the Chinese translation of Coleco's Rocket Car, and he immediately thought of infringement at first glance. Moreover, although the interfaces of the two games were different, they seemed to have the same core engine, so he did not further verify and determined that Yang Yun had infringed on the copyright.

  It seems that the rocket car of Chuhai is registered under another name in international patent, so they use this game to sue Chuhai for infringement, it should not be established. The Chinese side should not be able to fake an international patent document, and this document can be verified as true or false with a single check.

  Xiao Dehua hummed and continued: "Alright, let's put the rocket car aside for now. Next, let's talk about Salamander, this is also a copy of Konami's Gradius! The Little King company completely copied it without changing a single word. Chi Yang was a bit smarter and slightly modified the interface, but the core code was still copied!"

  Yang Yun sneered, "What a joke! While Konami did develop the Space Cruiser, Salamander and Space Cruiser are two completely different games. And we have the patent documents to prove it!"

  Xiao Dehua whispered a few words to the Japanese person next to him, then another professional lawyer spoke up: "Salamander is an original creation of Konami's side-scrolling shooter game, and our company's project is currently under development. Part of the core code is still in the patent disclosure protection period, so we suspect that Mr. Yang used illegal means to steal our company's business secrets! We demand a comparison of the program source code."

  "Haha! Joke!" Yang Yunle laughed: "You develop horizontal scrolling games, and I can't? You say you're doing Salamander, and I couldn't have thought of this idea too? And then compare program source code, I suspect that's just an excuse to investigate infringement, actually wanting to steal our company's core secrets. Who knows if Konami really has a Salamander project or not! Don't talk nonsense! Whoever gets the international patent rights is the one who gets to decide. I have it, you don't, so you're not qualified to lecture me. And in the future, if Konami dares to release a Salamander game, just watch me sue you to death!"

  "What General Yang said is good!"

  "Give them some color to see! Tell them they're dead!"

  "Whoever dares to encroach on our rights will be fought to the end!"

  Several Chinese people next to him whispered words of encouragement to Yang Yun, they had been holding it in for a long time.

  "Hey!" The Japanese side couldn't sit still, the representative of Konami was so angry that he almost spat out blood. They had just made a big hit with their Space Cruiser series and were preparing to develop an external transmission version of Salamander, but it turned out that the Chinese had registered it first!

  Who told you to protect improperly, and the registration speed is not as fast as others?

  Xiao Dehua's face was overcast, two strong evidence had failed one after another, the representative of Kolemi had no way out, and even the professional lawyer of his delegation was shaking his head slightly to him, indicating that they really had no way to deal with the Chinese.

  "Gritting his teeth, Xiao Dehua could only use his last resort: 'High Bridge Famous People Adventure Island! This game was produced by Hudson Company and the patent rights are also in their hands. How can you explain this? I didn't see any public display of your patent files for Adventure Island!"

  Is it Adventure Island? Hehe, Yang Yun burst out laughing. This was his biggest concern and also the easiest problem for others to grasp, finally someone pointed it out, but unfortunately, he had already plugged all the loopholes in advance!

  "What evidence do you want to see? It's all here!" The conference room door was pushed open and a majestic voice came in.

  Everyone looked over and saw a man with thick eyebrows and a square face, an air of righteousness about him, walking in. He was holding some documents in his hand, his expression serious, his stride steady and powerful.

  "Director Zhu!" Director Liu was somewhat surprised and hastily stood up to greet him.

  The visitor was Zhu Shuguang, director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Press and Publication, also known as the National Copyright Administration, which is the same institution with two different signs.

  "How did you come in person?" Liu Shouzhang hurriedly came to greet him, Zhu Shaoguang was a deputy ministerial official, one level higher than his title.

  Zhu Shuguang slapped the materials in his hand on the table, sat in the main seat without hesitation, waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

  "Is this Mr. Xiao?" Zhu Shuguang's piercing gaze made Xiao Dehua feel uneasy, "I am Zhu Shuguang from the Press and Publication Administration, what evidence do you want to see?"

  Xiao Dehua, where have you seen such a high-ranking Chinese official? After hesitating for half a day, he finally said: "High Bridge Venture Island is a game developed by Hudson Corporation of Japan. We think that although the version of Red Sun has some changes, its similarity to the Hudson version is extremely high, and we suspect it is an unauthorized copycat product."

  Zhu Shuguang flipped through the materials he brought, turned his head to look at the Chinese delegation, and finally looked at Yang Yun, smiling: "Is this Mr. Yang? Your friend just sent over a document from the United States, and after the exhibition staff checked it, they handed it directly to me. With this late-arriving document, your Red Sun Electronics Factory's registration with the National Copyright Administration is now complete. Please rest assured that as long as the materials are complete and the procedures are proper, the state will support your enterprise and protect your legitimate rights!"

  The contract from Alex in the US has arrived!

  YES！

  Yang Yun's spirit was shaken for a moment, he had been waiting for this moment, and his greatest reliance was on this!

  If the contract didn't arrive, he could only delay and then slap Xiao Dehua's face with the late document.

  Fortunately, at the critical moment, the contract arrived, and it was personally delivered by the director of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television. This vice-ministerial official is probably the highest-ranking leader Yang Yun has ever met in his life!

  Moreover, this Director Zhu is particularly powerful. He said a word that didn't match with the Japanese and immediately turned around to strongly support Yang Yun, saying the country will back up enterprises, how can he not be excited?

  Yang Yun smiled and asked Xiao Dehua, "Xiao, would you please ask the Hudson representative next to you if Adventure Island is really their patented game? Why did I get an adaptation authorization contract from Westone in the United States?"

  As soon as they heard the name Westone, the faces of the Japanese delegation turned pale in an instant.
