Joseph's expression became serious. He was a businessman, but he still respected patriots like Su Nian. "Let me calculate the cost. Don't worry, if you hand over the information to me, I will do my best to ensure that all of them pass the patent application process and obtain patent protection!"
International patent protection is a very complicated thing. Before the emergence of patent protection, each country had its own unique cultural heritage.
For example, the existing prescriptions in traditional Chinese medicine are the essence of traditional Chinese medicine left over for thousands of years. After being sorted out, the main ingredients of the prescriptions are no longer a secret. Anyone who is interested in traditional Chinese medicine can find some famous prescriptions.
These things were invented by our ancestors, but when they appeared there was no international patent protection law.
As a result, some people from other countries took these ready-made prescriptions and registered them for patent protection. After the registration, my country no longer had the right to produce the registered prescriptions.
This kind of plundering behavior has robbed us of a lot of our cultural heritage.
Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions that have been registered for patent protection generally have a protection period of twenty years, and our country does not allow their production.
What Su Nian did was to register these Chinese medicine prescriptions first and hold the international patent protection rights in his own hands. In this way, when conditions are ripe, he can develop and produce these prescriptions on a large scale.
At present, there are not many people in China who have this awareness. It is extremely rare for someone like Su Nian to use his own money to carry out large-scale registration protection.
However, this seemingly wasteful and costly action gained Joseph's respect.
Joseph worked very efficiently and quickly calculated the agency fees required to apply for patent protection for these traditional Chinese medicines. And because the number of applications was particularly large, they could be summarized together. Joseph also gave Su Nian a big discount.
Applying for international patent protection was not as expensive as the Soviet Union had imagined. She and Chu Beichen calculated that even if all the fees were paid, it could definitely be done within 20 million.
In this way, the two of them still have a lot of spare money in their hands. How should they use this money?
If you want to invest further to build a factory, you should start looking for investment projects while you are still in Country D and it is very convenient to purchase equipment.
"The scale of the pharmaceutical factory can be further expanded. Let's set up the production line first," Chu Beichen suggested.
"We can order another 3 to 5 production lines. Once these things arrive, we will have the ability to produce all medicines," Su Nian said excitedly.
"I know what to do with the remaining money. We can build a medical equipment factory to produce prosthetic limbs for disabled patients," Su Nian took Chu Beichen's hand and shook it vigorously.
"In addition to these things, we can also produce our own wheelchairs, orthotics and other rehabilitation equipment."
"I'll say hello to Carl today. Of course, I'll also ask Uncle Keqian to help us recruit technicians in this field directly from Country D with high salaries."
"Even though the factory has not been built yet, they can provide technical training first. Once the equipment for the new factory is in place, we can start developing and producing these medical devices."
After saying these words, Su Nian breathed a long sigh of relief and felt very open-minded. She had been thinking about how to give back to society and better serve everyone if she really had money.
In the past, the best medical devices were all imported from abroad. Now that Su Nian has money, she has invested heavily in hiring personnel from abroad, importing foreign production lines, and developing her own technology, in order to create truly domestically produced, cheap, and easy-to-use medical devices.
