Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On the morning of March 1st, China time, major domestic media in China began to forward two messages.

The first news: "Gale Group has hired a lawyer to sue CNN for malicious reputation infringement".

The second message: "Dafeng Group Invites Oracle to Negotiate on Technology Infringement Issues".

In the second message, Dafeng Group presented real evidence, some patents that have been approved and some patents that are still under application.

Due to the time limit for patent applications, many patents related to the database of Dafeng Group have not yet come down. This is why Meng Qian said at the beginning that it is just right to wait for Herman for 6 months, because if you wait another 6 months, many patents will be lost. Come down, in the original plan, Meng Qian had to wait 6 months before moving out the patented weapon.

Patents that are still under application are kept confidential at the Patent Office, so it is a bit troublesome as a proof for the public to see, but if there is a lawsuit, the Patent Office can provide relevant information as evidence, but the legal meaning is also the same. There will be a certain gap. After all, your patent has not yet been issued, and you cannot legally claim that someone has infringed.

But for competitors, it is enough to have a threatening effect. I can’t deal with you now, and I can’t deal with you in half a year. But what can you do in the past six months? If you apply now, you will definitely not be able to keep up. You can easily get rejected if you apply now.

Coincidentally, these patents released by Dafeng Group are almost all technologies that the two companies collided with.

In fact, after the press conference, Oracle discovered a problem. After all, Oracle is a patent-conscious company. Its core technologies will apply for patents in time, but they found that most of the technologies they encountered were innovative technologies that Oracle had just applied for patents. , and those old core technologies that Oracle has applied for for a long time and even obtained patent authorization, Gale Group actually either avoided it, or used the corresponding open source technology.

But at that time, Ellison was in a state of anger, and many people below did not specifically remind this matter, because in everyone's opinion, this should be just a coincidence. Let’s research and develop these innovations and apply for patents, unless Oracle has an insider of Dafeng Group at least a year ago, and this insider can determine the company’s product development.

Everyone thinks this is impossible. Although it is publicized that Herman is the biggest suspect of technology theft, Oracle employees actually believe that Herman is not such a person. No matter how unpopular Herman is, he treats technology Everyone can see the attitude towards the company.

Just like some people have a bad mouth but a kind heart. People don't like to make friends with him, but it doesn't mean that everyone will deny his kindness.

So even if Oracle really has an insider, people in the company are more willing to believe someone else than Herman, but in this situation, they can only blame Herman when they are outside.

After all, who would have thought that Meng Qian was a reborn person? Meng Qian would definitely not be able to remember the specific innovations of oracle 10G. However, some of the core advantages of Oracle's future generations and the use of grid computing in oracle 10G is still a matter of fact. I can remember some.

The continuation of many technologies of Oracle really started from oracle 10G, so this is a very meaningful version.

Therefore, Meng Qian has carried out a lot of technical research and development for the development of Oracle. As for which technologies will be highlighted in the press conference, which technologies will be avoided, and which technologies will be modified, it really depends on Herman. No one knows Oracle 10G better than him. .

But Herman didn’t feel guilty about this matter. The technology of Dafeng Group was indeed developed by Dafeng Group itself, and it was not the result of Herman’s private relationship with Dafeng Group. Help Dafeng Group avoid some patent troubles that may arise later.

Now as an employee of Dafeng Group, Herman feels that there is nothing wrong with doing this. It is like a player who is often booed by fans when he goes to his old club after being traded, but I have been sold. I am now a member of the new club Ah, shouldn't I work hard for the new club, and when the fans boo me, they don't think about it. Maybe the old club treated me badly?

Ellison agreed to revoke the non-compete agreement. Ellison thought that no one would develop exactly like Oracle. He even thought it was impossible for Microsoft. If you lose your opponent, who is to blame?

After the news slowly spread, Oracle's president's office was dead silent. Compared with the public opinion measures adopted by Oracle, Gale Group presented something that could be used as evidence in the true sense, but Oracle did not produce evidence in the true sense at all. , It's just a picture at the beginning, and the rumors are all made up, which makes Oracle lose the high point of public opinion.

"Do public relations first, suppress the news of Dafeng Group first, and don't let the news spread." Ellison, who has not yet figured out how to counterattack in the next step, ordered the people below to take a step first, "The operation department started from the research and development time, In terms of R\u0026D investment and other aspects, first look for angles, and what Dafeng Group can do now is just such a few patents, and find a way to get rid of him."

"Okay boss."

"John, you go to the Patent Office, contact Hansen, and ask him to help us investigate the patent situation in the Dafeng Group database, and find out if there is any way to reject the patent application of the Dafeng Group. You can handle the specific negotiations, as long as the situation Allowed, you can consider whatever the cost is." Ellison's eyes were fierce, and it was obvious that Meng Qian and Herman really angered him.

"Okay." John got up and was about to go out when Ellison's assistant came to the office.

The assistant's expression looked a little anxious, "Boss, there's some new news just now. Please take a look. An interview report by Herman has been sent out."

"Hermann? What did he say?"

"A lot of things were mentioned in the interview, and three points were mentioned in particular. First, Herman said in the interview that our company's database research and development has not been as long as we advertised. Many of the technologies we encountered with Dafeng Group this time were from real Judging from the research and development time, it is actually later than the Gale Group.

The second thing is to respond to why he left Oracle. He attributed the reason to being attracted by Dafeng Group’s R\u0026D capabilities and Meng Qian’s personality charm. He said in the interview that Oracle is a place without human touch, and Judging from our attitude towards him this time, he feels that it is a particularly right thing for him to leave Oracle.

Another thing is that Herman said that it is a very passive and dangerous thing for Gale Group to be forced to produce patent evidence to prove its innocence, because he thinks that Oracle is likely to seek unfair intervention from the Patent Office, But in order to show everyone the truth, Dafeng Group had to do this.

In addition to these three points, at the end of the interview, Herman also promised God that he has never betrayed Oracle. His attitude has won the support of many people on the Internet. "

Ellison's anger filled his eyes, and bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, "Huh! Huh! Man!"
