Rebirth of America, this is my time

Half an hour later, bedroom.

Ethan collapsed on the bed and stared at the ceiling with dull eyes. The yellowed wall still showed traces of time.

But at this moment, Ethan had no intention of paying attention to this at all, because his mind was already occupied by the waves of information.

The teacher Vinton mentioned by her sister Evelyn Johnson is actually the co-inventor of the TCP/IP protocol?

Then isn’t the person with this special code the father of the Internet?

These are the top scientists in America!

A true boss who will be able to influence policy formulation and even legal amendments in the future!

Such an awesome person is actually my sister's backer?

oh--

Ethan Jones covered his mouth, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

But no matter how hard he tried, the sound of "whoosh whoosh" still slipped out from between his fingers.

Although it sounds a bit indecent, he is really happy!

As a time traveler, he may not have a golden finger, but that doesn't matter, right? If you have thighs to hug, that’s the same thing!

After Ethan Jones laughed, he gradually calmed down and thought about Evelyn Johnson's words.

In fact, when Evelyn Johnson said that Barbara Babcock had selfish motives for helping Vinton Cerf in order to consolidate the relationship between the two parties and make a long-term investment in favors, Ethan In fact, Jones was already feeling surprised, surprised at Barbara Babcock's frankness, and surprised at Barbara Babcock's actions.

As a lawyer, she did not pursue extreme financial interests. This behavior did seem out of place when put together with America, which is full of vulture lawyers, but her meticulous control of connections made her superior to others. .

money?

This thing may be enough for her.

Extending her influence to every corner of America is the greatest pursuit of people like her.

"It seems that good people are always good wherever they are!"

"People who have the ability to change the world are the best social resources in the world?"

"Wow, this theory is really practical."

Ethan Jones, who was lying on the bed, felt a little emotional, but at the same time, he also found that he had indeed made some mistakes.

Everyone who really plays with technology has a heart to change the world. They will care about their inventions more than anyone else. In this case, they will choose project investors carefully.

And in the process, when they discover that there is a kind of investor in the world who can help others realize their dreams without confirming their immediate interests, then they will definitely swarm in with projects in hand!

Helping Chuck Paido solve the MOS 6502 patent issue may be sacrificing his own interests.

But if things come to pass, then Ethan Jones will definitely have a good reputation in the technology circle!

By that time, Ethan Jones believed that as long as he dared to open an investment company, those tech people who wanted to start a business would dare to flood him with projects!

Help and generosity with examples are what entrepreneurs covet the most!

"Special number! This reputation is worth more than money!"

"Sequoia Capital is in Niubi, and that's just an angel investment in name only. What about me?"

"My dear sister, you are trying to push me towards a saint!"

Since he decided to help Chuck Paido, Ethan Jones didn't hesitate anymore, got up and got out of the room, then quietly came to his sister's bedroom and knocked on the door gently.

The sound of 'bang bang bang' seems to be a call to the future, but it is more like saying goodbye to my immature self.

"What are you doing?" An angry question came from inside the room.

"Evelin, when are we going to find Teacher Barbara?" Ethan Jones asked with a smile.

"Aren't you not going to help?" A sinister voice came out, "Yes~ I'm just that snobbish~"

"Sister~ I was wrong~" Ethan Jones is a person who knows his mistakes and corrects them.

While admitting his mistake, he very courageously took out a piece of paper from his pocket and recited the speech he had just written: "Sister~ I have never gone to college, I have not received higher education, and I don’t know enough about the world. Deep, so what you consider when doing things will be limited due to your vision. After listening to your words just now, I have deeply realized this problem. I think what you said is very reasonable, so..."

"Squeak~"

Before Ethan could finish reading the cheat sheet, Evelin opened the closed bedroom door from inside.

At this moment, she had changed her clothes. She looked very smart in a shirt and jeans.

This situation caught Ethan by surprise. He clenched his right hand fiercely and hid the note. At the same time, he raised his left hand slightly and said hello.

"Hi~"

"Hmph~ Not sincere at all."

Evelin muttered, then got out of the room and went downstairs first.

"Let's go~ I just called Barbara. She is at home now. Let us just go there."

…………

Barbara Babcock also lives in Palo Alto, just a few minutes away from Los Gatos.

When Ethan stopped in front of a three-story villa as instructed by his sister, Teacher Barbara, who heard the movement, had already opened the door and welcomed their arrival.

After a brief exchange of greetings, she invited the two of them into the room, brought out fruit and coffee, and placed desserts and snacks. The enthusiasm that arose spontaneously made Ethan and Evelin a little flattered.

After expressing their politeness repeatedly, the three of them got into the topic. Since Ethan had already prepared the idea on the way here, his description of the problem was very clean and neat.

There are only three points——

1. I discovered the cheapest central microprocessor in the world.

2. The pre-version of this central microprocessor has been determined to infringe the patent of others. The patent owner has sued the developer, and the two parties have also reached an out-of-court settlement. The developer gave up all rights to the pre-version and compensated the patent. Two hundred thousand dollars.

3. It is precisely because the pre-version of the developer has patent infringement issues that they have re-developed the current new version. This new version is very easy to use. If it is introduced to the market at a low price, it will definitely have an impact on the current market. It has had a huge impact on the personal computer industry, but due to patent issues, developers have been reluctant to officially release it.

Summary: I was moved by the selfless spirit of the R\u0026D team and wanted to help them, so I wanted to ask you if there is a way to patent their new version of the central microprocessor.

When Evelyn Johnson heard Ethan Jones say that she admired people like Chuck Padre and decided to help, she immediately pursed her lips as she leaned on the sofa and almost laughed out loud. .

Ms. Barbara Babcock, who listened carefully, did not notice the girl's details. After listening to Ethan Jones's description, the law professor with blond curly hair directly pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. A confused look on his face.

Because she feels...

Ethan is kidding.

"Ethan, are you kidding me?" Barbara asked.

"Teacher Barbara, why did you say that?" Ethan was a little confused.

"Because there is no answer to your question!" Teacher Barbara leaned back, spread her hands, and said, "You just said that the developer and the patent owner have reached a settlement on the infringement issue of the previous generation chip?"

"Yes." Ethan nodded.

"Then this matter is very simple. The developer has admitted to the world that it has indeed infringed on other people's patents!"

Barbara raised her voice and said: "In this case, they are based on the re-development of infringing products. No matter from which point of view, it is infringement!"

"The point is, when it comes to naming new products, they actually used the naming method of the previous generation of infringed products?"

"Oh my God! Isn't this mentally ill?"

"You may think my wording is a little inappropriate, but I want to tell you that the logic I am talking about now is the logic of the judges and juries in the court!"

"They don't understand technology! All they can understand is the product code! If MOS 6501 has been determined to infringe Motorola's 6800 patent, then when Motorola sues MOS, saying that 6502 also infringes their patent, because just by looking at the code name, you can know 6502 If it is a continuation of infringing products, then the judge in the court will think that Motorola is right!"

"Their thinking will be like this - if MOS 6502 has no infringement, why can't it be renamed? Do you have to name it after the product that has been confirmed to be infringing? When your R\u0026D company feels that there is not much difference between your new product and its predecessor. How can you convince the judge in court that MOS 6502 does not infringe?"

Barbara crossed her legs, speechless written all over her face——

"If there is no continuity in naming, you can also ask professionals to identify them and let them judge whether the two chips have a high degree of similarity. When there is continuity in naming..."

"There is no need to fight this lawsuit, MOS will lose."

"This is not a question of whether they have infringed upon the infringement, but a question of whether their brains are normal!"

At this point, Barbara stopped.

After pondering for two seconds, she said: "Ethan, let me give you a suggestion."

"Don't worry about this kind of thing."

"A chip like MOS 6502 cannot save it."

"Wait to die!"
