The non-infringement opinions issued by the law firms of Terren and Bellows? Pete, who had been looking quite relaxed, suddenly changed his expression and even sat up straighter.
He glanced at Xie Fei subtly, wondering when she had contacted those two law firms.
Ever since he learned that Sheffield of the Law Offices of Rodton had taken on the lawsuit against the Channel Group, he has been making use of all available resources in the industry.
He monitored and inquired about the motives of others, including Sheffield's boyfriend, and had someone investigate him thoroughly.
In his opinion, the evidence that Sheffield currently possesses is simply insufficient to make the distribution group prove that it has not committed any infringement.
Unfortunately, the non-infringement opinions issued by the two law firms left him completely bewildered.
He carefully observed Judge Lawrence's expression, trying to glean some insight from it.
But Judge Lawrence kept his head down, so he couldn't see the other person's expression.
At this moment, Lawrence kept his head down and remained silent, but his mind was racing.
He does struggle with technical jargon, but he can understand legal documents.
Fortunately, he only accepted Duncan's limited exchange terms; otherwise, given the evidence Sheffield possessed and her temperament, she would definitely have taken the case to the Federal Circuit Court if it didn't satisfy her.
He looked at Pete, who had a furrowed brow.
"What objections does the plaintiff's lawyer have?"
"Your Honor, Justice Lawrence, I have reservations about the non-infringement opinion submitted by Attorney Sheffield. On page ten of the materials I provided, there is an analysis and explanation by Professor David from the University of Massachusetts Amherst on the two products, Cecil and the Pathway Group, detailing the similarity of the products and the relationship between them."
Lawrence turned to the page the other person had mentioned. He looked at it carefully, but Professor David's technical jargon made his head spin instantly; he couldn't understand it at all.
He took off his glasses and pinched his nose.
"Attorney Sheffield, please explain your argument!"
Qin Suisui stood up and looked at Lawrence.
"Your Honor, I request to see the analysis provided by Cestar Group regarding Professor David!"
Lawrence nodded, gesturing for the other person to come forward and review the documents.
With the other party's approval, Qin Suisui got up and walked to Justice Lawrence's seat, picked up the documents on the table, and turned to the page where Professor David was analyzing.
After looking at it for a while, she smiled and closed the documents in her hand.
"Thank you, Justice Lawrence, I have finished reading it!"
Lawrence glanced at her in surprise, and seeing Sheffield's composed demeanor, as if she knew everything, he couldn't help but feel astonished.
Did Sheffield discover some flaw in Professor David's argument? His interest was instantly piqued.
With Lawrence's permission, Qin Suisui turned and went back to her seat, glancing at Pete with a smile.
"First, I want to clarify something about Professor David's area of expertise at Masakado Institute of Technology."
"First of all, I want to state that Professor David is a respectable professor of physics. I do not know whether the plaintiff has carefully read Professor David's explanations of the two products of Cestar Group and Pathway Group."
"Professor David analyzed the commonalities and principles of the two products from a physics perspective. From a physics point of view, both use external force to make the motor rotate, which is the commonality that Professor David mentioned."
"In fact, the products of the Cestar Group are equivalent to a leakage current device, while the products of the Tonglu Group are a leakage current protection device with added leakage protection measures, which is equivalent to adding a special command system to the Cestar products."
"Judging from the certification standards publicly released by the National Security Laboratory of Country M, the equipment of Tonglu Group fully meets the laboratory's technical breakthrough standards, which is a qualitative change..."
Qin Suisui's explanation not only left the plaintiffs somewhat bewildered, but even Justice Lawrence in court looked completely lost.
Upon seeing this, Qin Suisui almost facepalmed.
Simple judgments do not require high qualifications from judges; they only need to make a decision based on the explanations and evidence presented by professionals.
This hearing did not involve any professionals.
Qin Suisui looked at Lawrence with a puzzled expression, just as he met Sheffield's gaze.
Lawrence's attempt to maintain composure was almost shattered by the seriousness in Sheffield's eyes.
He calmly shifted his gaze, looking down at the documents on the table. He still only vaguely understood what Xie Fei was saying.
After Xie Fei finished speaking, he coughed lightly.
"Does the plaintiff have any further explanation?"
There was no sound from the courtroom. When Pete took over the case, he knew that the ideal solution for Cestar Group was for the distribution group to take over their proposed settlement. Who knew that the distribution group would resist so stubbornly?
Regardless of its international standing or financial strength, the Tonglu Group is no match for the Xixida Group; the two are far apart in strength.
According to their plan, the distribution group will at most delay for one or two years, at which point it may be forced to accept a settlement due to its overwhelming financial and economic power.
To his surprise, the other party persisted for three years, and the lawyer they rehired was none other than his arch-rival, Sheffield.
For every piece of evidence they failed to provide, the other side provided compelling evidence.
They were powerless to refute the arguments.
"Your Honor, I reserve my opinion on what Sheffield said about Professor David's teaching scope, and the various documents that Attorney Sheffield just mentioned are completely unverified by any professional."
Qin Suisui looked surprised and looked at Judge Lawrence: "Your Honor, since April of this year, we have sent a total of 107 letters and documents via email and mail, and so far we have not received a single reply from Cecida Group or Beike Law Firm."
"Furthermore, the documents we provide are all legally binding, and even if professionals come to interpret them, they will interpret the documents in accordance with the patent law of the United States."
Pete was rendered speechless by Qin Suisui's words. After a long while, he could only repeat his explanation.
"Regarding the difference between the two raised by Sheffield, we need more professional explanations from experts..."
If he had only scoffed at the various evidence requests Xie Fei sent via email the first time, he would have simply ignored them and put them aside.
Today, he finally understood that the other side had already laid an inescapable trap, sealing off all their escape routes. Thinking of this, his face turned deathly pale.
Lawrence glanced at the courtroom and, seeing that Pete indeed had no further evidence, struck the gavel.
"Given that no professional was present to interpret the legal documents, this hearing has been postponed. Please see the state federal court website for the specific time."
Qin Suisui was not surprised when she heard Judge Lawrence's verdict. According to the information she had reviewed, a simple verdict required the presence of a professional. She wondered why Judge Lawrence had not invited a professional to the scene to provide explanations this time for some other reason.
