Chapter 290 Patents make money
“Thank you, senior brother, I have troubled you to worry about this time.”
Chang Haonan simply thanked him and put the two floppy disks into his bag.
"What the hell."
Fang Zhen quickly waved his hand. He had basically no airs as a senior brother before, let alone in front of this monster:
"If it weren't for you, junior brother, I probably wouldn't have finished my graduation thesis yet. I wouldn't be as relaxed as I am now..."
There was a lot of gratitude at the end of the sentence.
This is completely sincere.
When he and Yao Mengna were responsible for performing wing flutter analysis on the MA-60, Fang Zhen led the research team into a dead end. If not for Chang Haonan's miraculous rescue, I am afraid he could only follow the instructions The original route was hastily concluded.
Based on their research situation at the time, it could only be regarded as application-level research based on existing mature technologies and theories. The innovation was almost zero. It was not a big problem to have a few master's degree graduates, but it was obviously not enough. Requirements for Ph.D. training.
Now, although the core technology of the generalized aeroelastic equation under nonlinear flutter conditions was developed by Chang Haonan and has been named by Du Yishan and asked not to be published publicly for the time being, this is equivalent to opening up a scientific research path. A new direction, just pick up some scraps nearby, and change the application field to engage in interdisciplinary research, it is enough to write a doctoral thesis.
Actually, if we really talk about the workload and difficulty of the work, it may not be greater than before.
This is the dividend that pioneers in the field can reap.
Some young tutors who have made such breakthroughs in partial theory can even rely on one of their own achievements to provide assurance to their Ph.D.s within a few years, so that they can graduate on time.
Anyone who has studied for a Ph.D. knows how attractive this is.
Therefore, it is easy to form a siphon effect, attracting several batches of the best students to lead a research group.
Of course, Chang Haonan has not found a mentor yet, and Du Yishan has been flying for most of his life and is already considering landing.
So the first person the former took to fly became his senior brother.
While several people were chatting, another sleepy-eyed man yawned and pushed the door in from the outside.
It’s summer.
It was the master's student who worked on the project with Fang Zhen and Yao Mengna.
Then she saw three people sitting in the office.
"Master...brother?"
Although she and Chang Haonan have not seen each other for several months, they have been hearing that the latter has made many achievements in Institute 603 during this time. In addition, even Fang Zhen often said that his doctoral thesis was thanks to the other party, so that Xia Tian even hesitated when calling out this title.
I feel that calling me junior brother is not respectful enough.
But there doesn't seem to be any other name.
At this time Du Yishan also stood up again:
"I have a meeting to hold in the morning, you guys are busy first, Xiao Chang, come with me to get the key, and then you can take a look. Your new office over there at the High Performance Computing Center.”
“My new office?”
After hearing Du Yishan talk about this, Chang Haonan noticed that he was in this room. The work station remains the same, and there is no computer of the same style as others.
"We can't let the people in charge of the computing center squeeze in with us. If word gets out, people will think that we at Beijing Airlines are short of a room, and many things will be inconvenient."
Fang Zhen next to him smacked his lips. He smacked his lips, with some envy in his tone.
“Xiao Fang is right. Even if you don’t go there often, the place must be reserved. In fact, even the computer room equipment and other equipment have been shipped, but the manufacturer’s engineers are still doing final debugging. There is no way to officially activate it."
Du Yishan also explained.
On the way, Chang Haonan learned that he had been appointed as the head of the computing center. He never expected that even the office matters had been implemented. He was stunned for a moment before nodding, and then followed Du Yishan again Go out.
"Alas..."
Looking at the backs of the old man and the young man leaving, Fang Zhen sighed in confusion: "Think about it, when junior brother first joined the group last year, I personally helped him clean it up. Position, but it turns out that in less than a year, they have already moved to an independent office, and I haven’t even graduated with a Ph.D...."
"Think of the bright side, he The doctor hasn't even enrolled yet."
Xia Tian patted Fang Zhen on the shoulder and looked in the direction of the door and replied.
"..."
Fang Zhen became even more depressed after hearing this:
"I'll just assume that you were comforting me just now..."
...
About half an hour later, Chang Haonan appeared in the student office of Du Yishan's research group again.
"Junior brother? Why are you back again?"
Xia Tian poked her head out from behind the huge CRT monitor and asked curiously - because her height was relatively short, when she sat in the position, her whole body All will be blocked by the computer.
Obviously she thought Chang Haonan would definitely use the new personal office.
After all, who doesn’t want a separate work space.
Chang Haonan waved his hand and sat back in his seat:
"Forget it, that office has just been renovated, and the smell is so strong that it's going to kill me. There's still construction going on all around, and all the noise gives me a headache, so I went to identify the door and ran away."
At this time, Fang Zhen also suddenly remembered something. He stood up and found a document bag from the bookcase next to him, and then came to Chang Haonan:
"By the way, junior brother, you came back just in time, I'm here There is a project that requires the use of a patent you registered before. "
"My patent...the one that designs the blade bending method?"
That was given by Chang Haonan in his spare time last year. A company was registered while doing private work.
According to international practice, if a patent is issued during the research process, the name of the researcher will be written as the person who completed the patent, and the name of the person who funded the project will be written as the owner.
If it is a vertical topic, then write the name of the organization. Horizontal topics are usually enterprises.
Of course, if the researcher conducts the project at his own expense, it belongs to him alone.
Chang Haonan's situation that time was quite special. It is estimated that the other party was a small company and did not pay much attention to patents. Secondly, it did not have enough money to sponsor a complete project.
The five thousand yuan is only Chang Haonan's hard work fee and Wu Yifan's agency fee, and it certainly cannot be calculated according to research funds.
In short, a series of reasons led to the patent ownership finally falling into Chang Haonan's personal hands.
“Yes, this project requires the use of a high-altitude swept-blade propeller. The design is very similar to the one in your patent. Party A considers that there may be legal risks in the future, so let me talk to you. Let’s talk about the issue of patent royalties. ”
Under the premise that it is not an essential standard patent, patent royalties are a matter completely decided by negotiation between the two parties. No one can control whether it is a free license or a sky-high price.
"That's no problem. What are they designing this propeller for, and how much money are they prepared to pay?"
Chang Haonan is a layman and is still interested in money.
He fastened the computer he had taken out and took the file bag from Fang Zhen beside him.
Patent royalties can be collected in many ways, and Chang Haonan naturally has to choose the one that is more beneficial to him.
For example, for products with large shipments, such as ordinary motors and centrifuges, you can first charge a relatively low entry fee like Qualcomm will do in the future, and then charge a certain percentage of the selling price. Commission is charged for each product.
And if the output is very small, it is better to negotiate it once and for all, and save the trouble of annual verification later.
