The signing ceremony held at the Law Offices of Rodton the following day went very smoothly.
Yao Benxin only had the legal department of Tonglu Group check whether there were any omissions in the content of the agreement, and had no objection to the content of the agreement drafted by Qin Suisui!
The legal representative from the Tonglu Group who liaised with Qin Suisui was a serious middle-aged woman.
When introducing her, General Manager Yao referred to her as Director Bai.
She might have been warned before she arrived, even though Attorney Bai's gaze towards Qin Suisui was scrutinizing from beginning to end.
There wasn't a single question raised during the entire signing process.
She only made some meaningful remarks when the two sides exchanged the agreement.
"Attorney Qin, I don't know why our CEO Yao has such faith in you. Although you have indeed won several brilliant cases in Huating recently, as fellow lawyers, we all know that an excellent lawyer will always have a period of glory in his life!"
Attorney Bai stared intently at the young and beautiful colleague opposite him.
"I sincerely hope that Qin Lu's most glorious period will be the period of litigation against Tonglu Group!"
"Attorney Bai, don't worry!"
Qin Suisui smiled faintly, her expression calm.
"My career goal is to protect the legal rights of my clients, and as for my most successful period, I hope it will last a lifetime!"
Attorney Bai laughed; she was clearly taken aback by the young lawyer's ambitious words.
She nodded, her expression slightly helpless, but her tone was serious.
"Attorney Qin, I only hope that the outcome of the lawsuit between the group and Xixida will be as smooth as you expect!"
I await good news!
After signing the agreement, the group walked out of the conference room.
The others returned to the group company first, while Yao Benxin and Attorney Bai stayed behind and followed Qin Suisui to her office, where they still had some details to discuss and finalize.
"Mr. Yao, Lawyer Bai, please have a seat!"
"I'll have my assistant make tea for you both shortly!"
Qin Suisui waited until the other two sat down before she sat down herself.
"Lawyer Qin, the agreement has been signed. What's our next step?"
Attorney Bai turned on her computer, found the organized file, and sent it to Qin Suisui's email address.
"I sent a document to your email address. It's a confidential document that our distributor in Country M sent me on Tuesday. Because the content involves information about internal interference within the Country M government, they didn't dare send it to me directly, but instead forwarded it to me through a trusted friend!"
"Take a look at the contents first, then we can discuss it!"
"Okay, let me take a look!"
Qin Suisui turned to look at Yue Hongxin.
"Assistant Yue, please bring me my notebook!"
Yue Hongxin, who had been sitting to the side taking notes, immediately got up and took Qin Suisui's laptop upon hearing this.
"Qin Lu, your computer!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Qin Suisui turned on her computer, clicked on the emails, and began to carefully review them.
This document reveals that the US International Trade Commission has internally voted to rule that the Pathway Group infringed on Cestar's patents 225 and 255.
The committee will formally issue a limited injunction to the customs authorities of M country at 9:00 AM next Monday, prohibiting the import of the products in question manufactured by Z country manufacturers such as Tonglu Group through the customs authorities of M country.
The fact that the Tonglu Group was able to obtain this confidential document at a critical moment demonstrates that the status and influence of the Tonglu Group's distributors in Country M should not be underestimated.
If it weren't for the involvement of industry leader Cestar Group, this lawsuit might not have required Tonglu Group to take the initiative to respond.
After glancing at it briefly, Qin Suisui looked up at the two people opposite her.
"It's not surprising that Cestar would use such tactics."
At the headquarters of the law firm, Rodton, she frequently handled this type of transnational litigation case and was already used to it.
"This is their usual tactic. We will still complete it according to our established procedures."
"We need to make two preparations in advance. First, we will take the initiative to contact all the distributors in the M country involved in the case and reach an agreement with them. All litigation costs involved in this case will be borne by the Channel Group. However, the distributors must sign a written agreement and guarantee that they must continue to distribute Channel products during the litigation process, no matter what obstacles they encounter!"
Yao Benxin frowned as he stared at Qin Lu. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Lawyer Bai wanted to speak, so he reached out and gestured for her to ask her questions later.
"Second, I will apply to the Interstate Judicial Commission of the United States to initiate a consolidated trial to ensure the consistency of the facts found before the trial."
Qin Suisui's voice was firm and clear. After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Lawyer Bai.
"Attorney Bai, if you have any differing opinions, please feel free to raise them now!"
"Attorney Qin, I have a question. Don't you think it's a bit far-fetched that the group should bear all the litigation costs?"
Attorney Bai's words were sharp, and his eyes showed his disagreement.
"Didn't you see the timeline of the entire lawsuit and the defendants?"
“I see, the defendants are several distributors from the US! We all know that the Xixida Group's goal is very clear! They hope to use litigation to cripple our distributors in the US and ultimately have a deterrent effect!”
Qin Suisui's expression was calm, and she spoke slowly and deliberately.
Attorney Bai's expression, however, carried both impatience and a hint of restraint.
"Since you know this, why would you make such an unconventional suggestion?"
“Bai Lu, you should have heard what I just said. The goal of the Xixida Group is very clear: they hope to use the lawsuit as a pretext to cripple the entire dealer network of the Tonglu Group in M country through a lengthy litigation process!”
"This is also why we took the initiative to stand up as the second defendant and respond to the lawsuit!"
Qin Suisui showed no impatience despite Lawyer Bai's questioning; she continued to explain slowly and methodically.
“You should see Article 67 of the litigation agreement I signed with the law firm and the Tonglu Group, which states that the Xixida Group will bear all litigation costs in the final instance!”
"The legal costs will ultimately be borne by the Cestar Group!"
Attorney Bai was somewhat embarrassed by Qin Suisui's explanation. In the end, in order to save face, she snorted coldly and said irritably.
"Then I'll await Qin Lu's good news!"
"Thank you for Bai Lu's kind words!"
Qin Suisui accepted it with a smile.
Yao Benxin also voiced his doubts through Bai Lu, and seeing that the two were on the verge of conflict, he quickly interrupted them.
"Director Bai, how about we proceed according to Lawyer Qin's plan?"
