After smashing everything, Duncan looked at the mess on the floor of the study, panting heavily. He gritted his teeth in hatred, resenting Sheffield's lack of appreciation.
He never imagined that Sheffield would be so ruthless, leaving no way out for anyone.
Duncan has never suffered such a loss before. Things have come to this point, and it is no longer a simple matter of love between a man and a woman, but a matter of personal and family honor and disgrace.
He had to make Sheffield know the consequences of offending him, otherwise Duncan's reputation in the industry would be worthless, and anyone could trample on it.
Even if he wanted to shoot Sheffield right now, he couldn't act rashly.
He tried taking deep breaths until he gradually calmed down.
He bent down to pick up the phone from the ground and saw that the screen was covered with cracks. He clenched his fist.
"You bitch!"
After cursing, he quickly dialed Jerry's cell phone.
The microphone was quickly connected.
"Hey, hahaha, Duncan, I heard you almost got shot and sent to meet your maker last night, hahaha~"
In Duncan's mind, Jerry's voice was unrestrained and arrogant, and he asked, suppressing his anger.
"Jerry, have you finished laughing?"
"Wait, let me laugh a little longer, hahaha~"
Then, loud laughter erupted from the other end of the microphone.
Dunn interrupted coldly: "Jerry, that's enough!"
Jerry's voice still carried a hint of laughter.
"Alright, I've finished laughing. So, what do you want from me at this hour?"
Last night, Duncan sneaked into the hotel room where Sheffield was staying at the Law Offices of Rhodes, where Sheffield pointed a gun at him and fired several shots, nearly killing him outside the hotel room door.
This morning, the news spread like wildfire throughout the entire industry.
Jerry almost burst out laughing again at the thought of Duncan losing face in front of Sheffield.
Duncan could hear the teasing in Jerry's tone. Normally, he would have hung up the phone long ago, but today he could only hold back for the time being.
“Jerry, help me arrange a phone call with your uncle Lawrence.”
"Oh God, it can't be what I'm thinking, dear Duncan. I'm sorry, but your request is absolutely impossible."
Jerry's uncle, Lawrence, is a Supreme Court judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mexico and the presiding judge in this hearing.
“This hearing has now attracted the attention of the Z country’s government. It’s said that their embassy will also send someone to attend the hearing. My uncle will absolutely not agree to such a request that could ruin his future!”
"Won't agree?" Duncan almost scoffed. Disagreeing meant there was no benefit in exchange for something of equal value.
He has the payment Lawrence needs, and Lawrence would never refuse it.
“Jerry, just tell Justice Lawrence that I will make the Dunlun family withdraw from the bidding for the shale oil field in Perron, Sunnyda. In exchange, I only need Justice Lawrence to agree to postpone the release of the hearing results as much as possible!”
"Oh, okay~, wait a few minutes for me."
Jerry was well aware that the shale oil field in the Perron area was extraordinary for the Lawrence family.
If the Lawrence family were determined to acquire this shale oil field, Uncle Lawrence might actually grant Duncan's request.
Lawrence hung up Jerry's call and picked up the documents on the table, flipping through them thoughtfully.
Based on the information provided by Rodon Law, it is clear that the other party was very well prepared.
If Duncan's request is granted, it is not impossible for the hearing to be postponed.
The problem is how to do it without others noticing, which is a difficult task.
The Perren shale oil field is very important to the Lawrence family, as it is located right in the middle of their oil fields.
As early as the end of last year, the Lawrence family board of directors had already formulated a plan to go all out in the government bidding process this fall and be determined to win over that shale oil field.
Otherwise, if any other group were to take it over, it would be a disaster for the Lawrence family.
Who knew that a feud between Duncan and Sheffield would arise, which actually benefited him!
Lawrence's lips curled up, and his smile gradually widened.
In summary judgments, he will make a judgment based on a review of whether the written materials are legal and compliant, directly omitting the court hearing process.
Therefore, the presiding judge of this hearing has an absolute role in determining whether a case enters the phase of review for the Markman hearing.
According to his friend Douglas, Sheffield of the Law Offices at Rodton was a clever man who didn't play by the rules.
Dealing with smart people isn't scary; what's scary is dealing with a smart person without any way to break through their defenses.
Based on the available information they had, Sheffield had no friends in M country except for her teacher, Joyce.
Want to make Joyce suffer? Lawrence's lips curled up. That would be asking for trouble. Sheffield has some traits just like Joyce.
Lawrence closed the document in his hand, leaned back, and closed his eyes in deep thought.
The litigation documents provided by Sheffield include all the documents related to the interpretation of patent rights, including all the patent certificates applied for by the Channel Group after entering the M country market.
After six months of providing evidence and conducting research and analysis, Qin Suihui finally issued a non-infringement opinion in accordance with the patent law of the United States, which was notarized by the Federal Court.
Regarding non-infringement opinions issued by federal courts, the M Circuit Court of Appeals has clear provisions that, unless there are exceptional and undeniable reasonable grounds for refusal, federal judges must interpret patent rights in common terminology and in a manner that would be understandable to a person skilled in the art.
Furthermore, it reiterated that in any litigation case involving patents, the right to interpret internal evidence such as patent specifications and patent examination documents must be given priority.
Based on the information currently available, the presiding judge, from a notary perspective, will convene relevant professionals within three days to conduct a final review of the evidence provided by both parties. Based on the review results, the judge will determine the defendant's victory and issue a judgment.
Thinking of this, Lawrence suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
The only solution was to try to influence the professionals involved, but of course, the final outcome could not be changed. He was simply trying to delay the trial process and outcome as much as possible, as Duncan had requested.
As for the final ownership of the shale oil fields in the Perren area, since Duncan had made a promise, Lawrence was not afraid that he would try to play tricks on him.
"Bang bang bang~"
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
Haley pushed open the door and entered, carrying the documents.
"Justice Lawrence, the delegations from Cecida and Luzhou Group have all arrived at the Ninth Court. When would you like to arrive at the court?"
Lawrence looked up at the clock on the opposite wall. It was 9:53 a.m., seven minutes before the court session officially began.
"I will be there on time!"
Since it concerned the family's interests, Lawrence naturally wouldn't regret his decision.
