"Since the defendant has no objection, based on the evidence provided by the plaintiff, this court will now render the following judgment!"
The judge raised his gavel and tapped it on the table again, delivering the verdict in a solemn tone.
First, the several roasted green pepper sauce shops under the name of the defendant Liu Yanran must permanently cease operations starting tomorrow;
Second, the plaintiff, Wang Qian, needs to be compensated for patent loss of RMB 198,627.
Third, compensate the plaintiff for all expenses incurred during the litigation process.
Roughly calculated, the total compensation required is over 267,000 yuan.
As for the compensation amount, it needs to be settled in full within three months.
Liu Yanran was extremely indignant about this result, but there was nothing she could do about it.
The evidence provided by Wang Qian was that a patent had been applied for at the Intellectual Property Office.
Wang Qian had already obtained this patent before he opened the store.
In this situation, any counterfeit product would constitute an infringement.
Once the opposing party files a lawsuit, even the most skilled lawyer cannot reverse the situation of losing the case.
In this situation, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only accept her fate.
...
Outside the courthouse.
"Wang Qian, stop right there!"
Just as Wang Qian was about to leave, he heard Liu Yanran's furious voice behind him.
"What's up?"
Wang Qian stopped and turned to look at the person who had come from the other side.
What do you mean by that?
Liu Yanran stormed over, her face ashen, as if it were about to drip green juice. "How dare you scheme against me?"
"No!"
Wang Qian shrugged and said innocently, "Since I filed a lawsuit, I certainly want to get a fair and just result."
"But before the trial, you clearly promised me that you would withdraw the lawsuit!" Liu Yanran roared as she questioned.
You've got it wrong, haven't you?
Wang Qian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Which ear did you hear me agree? You said it yourself, but I didn't agree at the time."
"you……"
Liu Yanran was speechless for a moment.
She then realized that before the trial, she had been too confident, thinking that Wang Qian was completely under her control and that even if he didn't verbally agree, he would strictly follow her instructions.
Looking back now, Wang Qian did indeed remain silent at that time.
Silence, on the other hand, allows for ambiguity.
This can be considered the default.
It could also mean dismissing it with disdain.
"Wang Qian, you forced me to do this!"
Liu Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "Just wait for the court summons!"
Leaving behind such a harsh remark, she turned and left.
"Liu Yanran, it seems you've overestimated the chips you have in your hand!"
Wang Qian scoffed, "If I were truly afraid, would I have upheld the prosecution just now?"
"What do you mean?" Liu Yanran was slightly taken aback.
"What you call your bargaining chip is just those intimate photos we took together in college, isn't it?"
Wang Qian scoffed, "Those photos are indeed quite explicit, but if you think you can use them to accuse me of rape, you're being incredibly naive!"
"You think I can't do it?" Liu Yanran narrowed her eyes slightly.
What she called her bargaining chip was actually some explicit photos they took together when they were dating in college.
Her plan was to use these photos as evidence to sue Wang Qian for rape.
If she wins the case, Wang Qian will face criminal charges and may end up in jail.
However, as the eldest daughter of the Liu family, her reputation would be ruined once this matter became public.
Of course, compared to Wang Qian, the price she paid was much smaller.
She only ruined her reputation, but Wang Qian will not only ruin his career, but also face imprisonment.
It was because of this connection that she thought Wang Qian would compromise.
Unexpectedly,
Wang Qian didn't care at all.
"I know you can sue, but whether you can ultimately turn the tables and put me in jail is another matter!"
Wang Qian shrugged and continued, "After all, we were already adults when we went to college, and the photos we took were all intimate photos, none of them reached the level of coercion."
"In other words, even if we did some shady things back then, it was all consensual."
"Don't you find it ridiculous that you're using those intimate photos to sue me?"
"If this is possible, then can all divorced or separated couples sue each other for sexual assault?"
These words instantly left Liu Yanran speechless.
So this is why Wang Qian has always been so fearless?
You scumbag!
In her anger, she couldn't help but curse.
If Wang Qian hadn't mentioned it, she really wouldn't have considered that.
Although her family employs a group of lawyers, she certainly wouldn't dare consult them about this matter, as it concerns her reputation and future.
Now that Wang Qian said that, she awkwardly realized that her prized asset was actually a joke.
Say what you want!
Wang Qian didn't take Liu Yanran's curses to heart at all. "In addition, I have a piece of advice."
"What advice?" Liu Yanran asked subconsciously.
"If you want to live a more peaceful life in the future, you'd better stop trying to target me and sabotage my business, or you'll only lose more!"
"Are you threatening me?" Liu Yanran barely suppressed her anger.
"I said it was advice, but if you see it as a threat, then so be it!"
Wang Qian shrugged indifferently. "That's all I have to say. You'd better take care of yourself!"
"etc!"
Liu Yanran hurriedly caught up and grabbed Wang Qian's arm, "I have another question!"
