Knowing that the crux of the problem lay in DuPont, Yang Rui immediately felt shock, fear and fear.

Yang Rui, who earned $4 million last year, is not at all on the same order of magnitude as DuPont, which earned more than $1.4 billion last year. As a giant that has transformed from industry and mining to chemistry and from chemistry to biology, DuPont has more than 10,000 scientists alone.

This is a company that can afford to hire first-order scholars and play with top-notch labs.

Moreover, there is also the DuPont consortium behind DuPont, which is one of the top 10 conglomerates in the United States, which is infinitely powerful and can influence the political ecology of the United States.

However, Yang Rui quickly calmed down, at least, he forcibly suppressed his negative emotions.

Just like every student sitting in the college entrance examination room, if you say that you are afraid of difficulties, everyone has countless reasons to be afraid of difficulties - what to do if you don't do well in the exam, ask a hundred people, and a hundred people have thought about it at least three times.

However, fear of difficulties will not solve the problem.

Yang Rui forced himself to think about the problem from a good perspective first.

The best reason soon appeared in front of Yang Rui's eyes: the West company won the DuPont lawsuit that year!

It can even be said that the lawsuit was easily resolved.

Regarding the relationship between Syst and DuPont, because it is a famous case, many of them have been involved in the history of science and technology, Yang Rui turned them out of his mind and read them greedily, so as not to think about it himself.

Less than a year after the introduction of the PCR machine, DuPont took Ster to court, and unlike many lengthy patent lawsuits, the San Francisco District Court took only half a year to conclude the case, and Stem won by a wide margin.

This shows that the Stem company won easily!

In fact, all they can rely on are the two main patents, and their patents on heat-resistant polymerase even have loopholes, so that they will cause litigation again in the future......

But in any case, if Syst can win, it means that Yang Rui may also win.

Of course, Stem is also a publicly traded company with more than $100 million in assets, and it is also an American company, and it has made a lot of noise in the scientific community — the biological company that rose to prominence with the Reagan policy has the sympathy of many people in the biological community, while the giant DuPont has always been evil in the eyes of the public.

Yang Rui was thinking while writing and drawing in his notebook.

The first is to raise lawyer's fees, if there are enough lawyer's fees, it is possible to win DuPont in court, DuPont's bargaining chips are limited, and what they can come up with is only a few papers from the 70s, which are completely inconsistent with the academic community's recognition of patent rights, so as long as they can fight a lawsuit in a dignified manner and have lawyer fees, Yang Rui has a great chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui wrote down the words "raising money" and "upright" in his notebook.

The pursuit of a "dignified" lawsuit may not be able to be pursued in a dignified manner, Yang Rui put this behind, and his eyes were still staring at the word fundraising.

Without money, you can't afford to fight a lawsuit.

The confrontation with Ganica Company made Yang Rui deeply feel the fair price of American society.

Benjamin is the lawyer who best embodies the fairness of the United States, he is not the best lawyer, but he is among the top lawyers in the United States, and having a lawyer like Benjamin means that the balance of fairness will not be tilted to the other side, everyone is on the same level, and then rely on the evidence to speak.

In order to keep the balance crooked, the price is $2,500 per hour.

In a settlement lawsuit, Benjamin and his team were billed for more than 40 hours, plus other expenses, and ended up charging more than $100,000, taking more than a third of the settlement money, which is still the price that did not go to court.

And in order to see if the scales are crooked, Yang Rui also needs his own company lawyer and Yue Ting, a Hong Kong lawyer who participated in the patent registration, and the combined price of these two people is about $1,000 an hour.

Also in this settlement lawsuit, they have to take nearly a third of the money.

In the end, Yang Rui himself received less than one-third of the settlement money, and even less than the company's lawyers and Hong Kong patent attorneys.

This is a lawsuit victory, and a quick victory.

If it goes to trial, Benjamin charges $40,000 per session, and $40,000 for a one-minute trial, which is why the free lawyers hired by the poor in the United States always force them to plead guilty, because the free lawyers are not willing to go to court, the preparation is too complicated, and there are too many variables.

As a benchmark, the 95-year Simpson wife murder case took nine months and produced more than 50,000 pages of trial records, while Simpson's dream team charged more than $10 million.

That's the price of a decent lawsuit.

Yang Rui estimates that at least $1 million is needed to support his lawsuit against DuPont, and $2 million is much safer.

It just so happens that Jielikang owes itself a dividend fee.

"DuPont was right. Yang Rui sighed and wrote the words "achievement appraisal" in his notebook.

The lawsuit is not all about money, and the more evidence he prepares, the more he can be sure.

The lawsuit between Stem and DuPont eventually became an academic lawsuit, which is a well-known case in the academic world, and lawyers are important, but lawyers and judges have to listen to expert witnesses in the end, and the expert witnesses are all Nobel Prize winners.

In 84 years of China, the academic level is worrying, but it is not without bright spots, after Yang Rui replaced Syst, this has become an international lawsuit, whether there is domestic backing, I think there are still some differences.

Yang Rui held back his mood, looked at his notebook again, and then called to buy a ticket to Pingjiang, ready to transfer home from Pingjiang.

Even if you can find money in Beijing, you can find it in RMB, and the US dollar still has to find a way to make up for it from the coenzyme Q10 factory.

After making the call, Yang Rui returned to the school and found Dean Liu to apply for the early exam - this was naturally just a formality, Dean Liu waved his pen and said, "You passed the final interview this year." ”

Yang Rui asked more: "Is it in line with the policy?"

"Why don't you agree, your academic results have been recognized in the United States, not to mention that you have published papers in top journals this year, such students are forced to take the final exam, are we all old-fashioned?" said Dean Liu, and he was happy.

Yang Rui was really in no mood to chat and fart, and after thanking President Liu, he went to Academician Cai to revise the time of visiting various places, he wanted to concentrate on a week, visit the committee members in various places as soon as possible, and make time to go home.

As for the reason for going home, Yang Rui did not explain, and Academician Cai did not ask much. In his opinion, it is natural that Yang Rui's achievements have passed the appraisal, and such a passing scene, and he has to keep giving gifts, which is already a bit embarrassing for young people.

Therefore, Academician Cai drew a circle on the map on the wall with a pencil, that is, he said: "Now there are four professors in Beijing who are members of the achievement evaluation committee, let's try to visit all of them in two days, if people are not there, then wait for us to visit other people on the way, and then take the time to visit, anyway, now I often have to transfer planes from Beijing." ”

Yang Rui nodded.

"There are two professors in Shanghai, plus one in Nanjing, there are three here, we will visit first, and the remaining four professors are scattered in Tiannan and Haibei. "The circles drawn by Academician Cai are very rigorous in science, with the largest circle in Beijing, followed by Shanghai, and the remaining small circles are mostly in the southeast, which can very well reflect the distribution of China's academic circles.

This is still the era of national planning, and when the flow of universities is completely liberalized, the Matthew effect will overshadow the academic aspects of local universities outside Beijing, especially those located outside the megacities. Even USTC can't survive, let alone other universities.

Professor Cai drew the circle and did not delay time, he took Yang Rui, Yang Rui with gifts, first revisited the professors of Peking University who had a small meeting a few days ago, and made appointments with each professor to visit other professors.

An invisible line connects Yang Rui and Professor Cai, Professor Cai and the professors, and the professors and the professors.

The so-called scholars from academic backgrounds use such impenetrable cobwebs to lift the ivory tower higher and higher until ordinary people can't reach it.
