Chapter 428 Patent Applications
On April 1st, Jiang Ning was summoned to Dean Kong's office.
As soon as she entered, Dean Kong greeted Jiang Ning with a beaming smile.
Seeing Dean Kong's beaming face, Jiang Ning guessed that something good was coming.
Jiang Ning asked, "Dean, what good news happened? What's making you so happy?"
Dean Kong said excitedly, "I just spoke with Dean Wu from the General Hospital. He said that the Patent Law was promulgated last March and officially came into effect today. Dean Wu has already applied for patents for the life-saving pills, anti-inflammatory drugs, and the lung cancer treatment drugs that you and your research group developed."
Once the patent application is approved, we'll never have to worry about your medicine being stolen again.
Jiang Ning was also very happy to hear this.
Now that the Patent Law has been enacted, the state can apply for patents first.
In the modern world, due to the neglect of traditional Chinese medicine, other countries have taken the lead in applying for patents on many Chinese herbal medicines, which are then resold back to the domestic market.
But with her around in this world, foreign countries won't have any opportunity to take advantage of her.
Jiang Ning asked, "Could we ask Dean Wu to help us apply for a patent for our Chinese medicinal herbs?"
Dean Kong was taken aback. "Why apply for a patent for Chinese medicinal herbs?"
In his mind, Chinese medicinal herbs are all grown in China, and since they are grown in China, they naturally belong to China.
Jiang Ning was thinking about how to explain to Dean Kong that there were always some shameless people who insisted on taking things from China and claiming them as their own.
However, Dean Kong didn't dwell on the matter too much. "I'll mention this to Dean Wu. If he knows it's your request, he probably won't refuse. Right now, the most important thing is to apply for the patents for the three drugs you developed earlier."
With the protection of patent law, there is no need to worry about anyone wanting to buy the prescription anymore.
Dean Wu just called to say that the "life-saving pill" has played a huge role in the military over the past three years. Once the patent application is approved, the life-saving pill can be released to the market so that the general public can also use it!
As Dean Kong spoke, before Jiang Ning could react, he got excited himself, "Dr. Jiang, once the life-saving pill is released, your reputation will be even greater. In the future, everyone will probably know your name. This is a great opportunity!"
Doctors save lives; to put it in a more mystical way, it's a great act of merit, and Jiang Ning's merit is worthy of everyone's praise.
Dean Kong is good at creating a lively atmosphere. Jiang Ning was also excited when she thought about how all the patents for various Chinese medicinal herbs had been applied for.
The medicines she developed were all finished products she formulated after extensive research on medicinal materials.
All of these are inextricably linked to those seemingly ordinary Chinese medicinal herbs.
In the present world, the medicinal herbs she needed were clearly from her own family, but because another country had applied for a patent first, she had to buy the herbs from that country, which pained her.
Some of the medicines she developed even used Chinese medicinal herbs that were patented in other countries.
This resulted in the drug she developed never being released to the public.
Because she knew that once the medicine was released, someone would use the excuse of patent protection to either prevent her from using Chinese medicinal herbs or force her to hand over the prescription.
It's clearly our own property, yet we're being bullied like this. Who can accept that?
Now that she has come into this world, she naturally wants to settle this regret.
As Dean Kong talked about the medicine, he got so excited that he immediately called the General Hospital and asked Dean Wu to apply for a patent for the Chinese medicinal materials.
Upon hearing about applying for patents for Chinese medicinal herbs, Dean Wu shared the same doubts as Dean Kong.
Thinking that she was in the dean's office, Jiang Ning took the phone and told Dean Wu about the possibility that Chinese medicinal herbs might be applied for by other countries.
Taking advantage of the fact that traditional Chinese medicine has not yet caught the attention of other countries, they applied for patents in advance, which naturally avoids the situation where other countries apply for patents as they have in the present world.
Jiang Ning explained, "The medicines I develop are all made from Chinese medicinal herbs. If someone applies for a patent for these herbs, wouldn't we have to get permission from them to use the medicines in the future?"
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the two deans were instantly enlightened.
Dr. Jiang's words make perfect sense.
They don't want to have to ask someone else's permission to take medication in the future.
state!
Apply for them all!
It's just a little troublesome, but that's nothing.
Once a patent application is approved, it needs to pass preliminary examination and final examination, a process that takes at least several months.
Jiang Ning left the patent application to the two deans.
However, Jiang Ning underestimated Dean Wu's execution ability. A month later, Dean Kong suddenly asked Jiang Ning to go to the dean's office to take pictures.
Jiang Ning looked puzzled, but she complied with all of Dean Kong's requests.
Only after the photos were taken did Dean Kong tell her what the photos were for.
Now that the three drugs she is researching are about to be mass-produced, it is natural for people to know that Jiang Ning is a pharmaceutical engineer. The photos taken today are for the medicine boxes. They plan to put Jiang Ning's photo on the medicine boxes so that people who take the medicine will know who developed it.
Jiang Ning never expected that the two deans had such thoughts.
Isn't this just putting her on a pillar of shame and rubbing her in?!
However, since the photos had already been taken, she resisted a little, but ultimately her resistance was futile.
Photos are required.
Anyway, her face has appeared in the newspapers countless times, and having her on the medicine box with her fame can actually promote these drugs more widely.
