Chapter 73 Registering a Global Patent
The equipment is not urgent, and it cannot be done immediately in a short period of time. The most important thing at the moment is to register the patent.
A few days later, Yang Wendong learned from Lao Shen that this kind of pressure-sensitive glue with lower viscosity already existed, and he also asked Japan to fly it over.
A week later, Yang Wendong received the glue.
Su Yiyi opened a bottle of glue, applied a little to the cut piece of paper, and then pressed it with both hands:
After opening it again, the tops of the two pieces of paper were stuck together. Then, she easily tore open the two pieces of paper.
"Brother Dong, look, it has met your requirements." Su Yiyi said with a smile: "You can tear it open with a little force, but it won't fall off if you don't use force."
"Let me try." Yang Wendong took the two pieces of paper that Su Yiyi tore, then printed one of them on another piece of paper, and then tore it apart.
I felt the strength, looked at the torn paper again, and said: "There may be a little too much glue, or the glue is a little more sticky than I want. We still need to continue debugging. That’s all.”
When I made a sticky mouse board, it only needed to be strong enough so that the mice couldn’t escape.
But sticky notes are not good. They have to be just right. If they are too sticky, they will easily tear the paper. If they are too sticky, they will fall off easily.
"Well, I'll try more." Su Yiyi nodded and said, "I think if you use glutinous rice paste, it should be OK."
"The stickiness may be OK, But I can’t stand it.” Yang Wendong laughed and said, “The rice will change. Quality, you have to use chemical glue.”
“Oh, okay.” Su Yiyi nodded and asked, “Then I’ll try with less glue.”
"Well, I'll give it a try too." Yang Wendong also joined in.
For more than an hour, the two tried several different glues and dosages, and made hundreds of original sticky notes in various states.
Su Yiyi frowned slightly and said: "Brother Dong, this kind of DK29 glue is the most suitable. However, I can only apply glue by feeling. I can't control it well and it's easy to put in too much. "
Yang Wendong also looked at the "post-it notes" in front of him, thought about it and said, "It seems that we must buy some test equipment, otherwise we will not be able to record the data."
"Test equipment? What is it?" Su Yiyi asked in confusion.
Yang Wendong said: "It is to test the weight or lifespan of the product. For example, we now need to know exactly how much glue to use and what standards we need to use in future production."
"Oh." Su Yiyi nodded and asked: "Can lifespan be measured?"
"Lifespan can be measured." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "Lifespan is a trivial matter, the key is The problem is still the temperature.
The viscosity of this glue is different at different temperatures. Some places are very cold and some are very hot. These may need to be considered.”
“Then buy it. What equipment?" Su Yiyi asked.
Yang Wendong glanced at the electric fan next to him and Su Yiyi, who was also sweating a little, and said: "The summer in Hong Kong is not completely over yet, and the high temperature is basically the same. Okay, Yiyi, you go Buy a refrigerator, the freezing temperature of the refrigerator is almost -20 degrees, which basically meets our requirements.”
The best model is naturally a professional high and low temperature test chamber that can accurately control the time. But don’t even think about it. This kind of equipment must be imported, which is expensive and requires a long waiting time.
It is better to buy a refrigerator. Even after the experiment is completed, it can be used at home and there is no waste.
"Okay, I'll go to the department store and have a look." Su Yiyi nodded.
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Well, it will probably take some time to finish this post-it note. The existing ones are enough for me. I will study it slowly after I register the patent. ”
For registration of creative patents, you can apply for a patent by making a similar sample during the research and development stage.
It will be much safer to complete the patent registration first. This is a brand new market that will not be affected by seasonal factors, and the total market is larger than non-stick mouse pads.
After all, although the sticky mouse board is also an innovative product, it has many competitors, such as rat poison, mouse traps, mouse traps, etc.;
And sticky notes are A completely new category of goods will only bring convenience to all those who need it. This is a market that appears out of thin air and has not yet snatched away the existing interests of any existing industry.
……
After finding lawyer Zhang Weida again and signing the patent entrustment registration agreement, Yang Wendong took out the prototype of the sticky note and explained its function to him.
After listening to this, Zhang Weida said with some surprise: "Good thing, when I am working on information documents, sometimes I will think of something that I need to do later or in a few days, but when the time comes, I will "It's easy to forget."
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "This is a normal phenomenon, so this sticky note is for the convenience of all civilian workers."
It is a common problem for humans to forget things easily. It's impossible not to make such a small mistake.
In the previous era of intelligence, Yang Wendong also relied on his smartphone to set unlimited alarm clocks. When he remembered something, he would immediately set the alarm clock on time to avoid forgetting something.
But in this era, there is no choice. Even with sticky notes, it is not as good as a mobile phone alarm clock;
But in this era, there is no choice.
Zhang Weida nodded and said: "It's easy to see something like this, but no one can think of it.
Yang Sheng is really amazing. I want to buy some of this thing. With so many civilian workers around the world, I’m afraid many people will like this.”
As a lawyer, Zhang Weida, although not in business, has allowed him to get to know many businessmen during his many years of career, and he has seen some. .
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "So I need to register the patent immediately."
"Yes, that's right. How about registering it in Hong Kong first?" Zhang Weida asked.
Yang Wendong said: "No, Hong Kong is registered together with other countries. It is not a member of the Paris Convention. As long as there is some economic strength and a patent law, they will register first."
< br>Although the cost of registering patents in most countries around the world will be high, considering the future market potential of post-it notes, these investments are worthwhile.
In the past few months, he has also made 30,000 to 40,000 Hong Kong dollars by using sticky mouse boards and sticky fly boards, and he still has enough money to register a global patent.
It's a good thing that I made the sticky mouse pad first, otherwise even if I thought of post-it notes, I wouldn't be able to take them out if I don't have the money to register a patent, otherwise it would only end up being cheaper for others.
"Okay, let's go now to avoid a long night and many dreams." Zhang Weida said immediately.
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded, he also wanted to confirm it as soon as possible.
