Chapter 53 Trademarks and Patents
The next day, Brother Yong and his brothers came over. They were all familiar faces. Two years ago, these brothers had been their helpers.
This is better. Xiao Qinyun directly arranged them into groups of two, taking turns to watch the Wangfujing courtyard and Li Hongzhi.
In the following weeks, Xiao Qinyun practiced exercises at home, while Qiao Qinglu practiced oral English and gave the children enlightenment, and the children exercised while receiving enlightenment.
Aunt Qiu and Feng Yuan and others skillfully stockpiled winter vegetables, dried vegetables, and made coal briquettes in preparation for winter.
Soon it was the end of November, the day when Xiao Qinyun had to remove the plaster. Qiao Qinglu pushed Xiao Qinyun, Feng Yuan went to find a car, and the three of them went to the hospital.
The doctor first arranged an X-ray examination for Xiao Qinyun and found that his left calf fracture had healed very well. After removing the plaster, he found that his left leg muscles had basically not atrophied.
The doctor asked Xiao Qinyun to walk a few steps and found that his leg bones were indeed healing well.
To be on the safe side, the doctor told him to do exercises step by step, strengthen his muscle strength, walk for short periods of time, and gradually increase the time, and come back for a check-up in half a month.
It seemed that the holiday would have to be extended for another half a month, so the three of them took a taxi to the post office near Wangfujing, called to ask for leave, and then slowly walked home.
Half a month later, the doctor finally confirmed that Xiao Qinyun's leg was completely healed, and he finally returned to the machinery factory.
After returning, he received good news that the Trademark Law and Patent Law, which he had been longing for, would be officially promulgated and implemented on January 1, 1977, and the registration and declaration work would be managed by the Trademark Office and the Patent Office respectively.
This can be traced back to the beginning of 2017. Due to the lack of sound relevant laws and regulations, Yanjing brand rice cookers were sued by businessmen from China, and the machinery factory had to go abroad to respond to the lawsuit.
This lawsuit is very disadvantageous to us because the relevant technology of the rice cooker has not been patented. In order to win the lawsuit, we must disclose most of the project's insurance information and data. If we lose the lawsuit, we will not only have to pay compensation, but the project will also fail.
The machinery factory has been busy dealing with this recently, but there is no good solution. I guess we are bound to suffer the loss.
Therefore, Xiao Qinyun has been keeping a close eye on the Trademark Law and the Patent Law, otherwise the future of rice cookers will be the future of refrigerators and freezers.
Fortunately, he could formally submit the application soon. He immediately contacted Wu Jun and asked him how much he knew about the two units. He wanted to know in advance the list of materials required for the application, and it would be best if the application could be expedited.
Wu Jun has now been promoted to deputy director of the government office, so he can really help.
He immediately made several phone calls, inquiring about the details of the application materials and the review time. He also mentioned that these projects had been exhibited at the Canton Fair and were Guo Jia's key projects. The other party directly said that the materials could be submitted in advance and special arrangements would be made.
Xiao Qinyun was really overjoyed when he heard the news. He immediately prepared the relevant information carefully according to the list. A week later, with Wu Jun's introduction, he handed it to the people from the Trademark Office and the Patent Office.
According to preliminary estimates, the trademark will be processed in late February and the patent will be processed in late April. There is finally hope.
In the following days, Xiao Qinyun continued to carry out technical upgrades on rice cookers, double-door refrigerators and freezers. At the same time, he once again set his sights on electric water heaters.
In the 1970s, electric water heaters were already available in foreign countries, but not in China. Everyone used a pot to boil water for bathing. Xiao Qinyun thought that current technology could not produce LCD smart TVs and computers, so the next step would be to research electric water heaters.
Then, on a wonderful evening, after an in-depth discussion, Xiao Qinyun carefully proposed the idea of studying hot water.
Qiao Qinglu exploded on the spot and kicked him off the bed. If it weren't for the biting cold wind outside, Qiao Qinglu would have kicked him out of the bedroom long ago.
The body of the double-door refrigerator that we took apart last time is still lying there. It doesn't matter to her whether she wants the refrigerator or not, but she can't live without hot water.
Xiao Qinyun tried to reason, "Xiao Lu, look, there's no hot water. It's so inconvenient to take a bath in the middle of winter, isn't it?"
Qiao Qinglu: "I'm very reasonable. I told you from the beginning, don't touch my hot water!!! Besides, what's so inconvenient about taking a bath in winter? There are so many bathhouses outside. You can take a bath and someone will rub your back for you. How comfortable is that?"
Xiao Qinyun knew that he couldn't convince Xiao Lu, and he also blamed himself. He had agreed not to tear it apart, but he still couldn't help but think about it in that way.
Okay, let’s find a bed and quilt and sleep on the floor first, otherwise you’ll catch a cold if you wake up early.
For hot water, Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun had a cold war for a week. In the end, the triplets discovered something was wrong. Tang Yuan righteously "questioned" their parents: "Daddy and Mommy, you are not being good. How can you quarrel?"
Qiao Qinglu pretended to be surprised: "Tangyuan baby, who said that? I didn't quarrel with my father."
Mantou then stabbed in the back: "You two just had a fight, and you both stopped hugging each other. When dad looked at you, you turned your head away."
