Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Meng Qian’s interview was multilingual. It not only expressed that we were fighting back against the malicious suppression of our opponents, but also the Western patent barriers. At the same time, it also reminded companies other than Asimck and Zeiss, as long as Dafeng Group Yes, these two companies are not the only ones who owe Dafeng Group patent fees.

At this time, more and more people are beginning to contact Intel’s Paul. After all, Intel is the boss of everyone in this field. If something goes wrong, the boss can settle the matter.

Paul asked Intel's Legal Department to analyze the situation. The head of Intel's Legal Department subconsciously said, "Dafeng Group may become Qualcomm in the field of lithography machines."

As soon as he heard the word Qualcomm, Paul's head buzzed, and it was enough for a Qualcomm in his own country to fight a patent war with himself every day. This is another China Dafeng Group that must not annoy people.

"Then why do you think Dafeng Group has never used patented weapons before?"

"It's hard to say, on the one hand, maybe they really don't want to leave a bad impression like Qualcomm. Hasn't Dafeng Group all these years to create a fair, friendly, cooperative and win-win image.

However, another reason cannot be ruled out. The reason why Dafeng Group did not come up with patented weapons in the early years may be to further expand their patent pool in order to establish a more comprehensive patent barrier. "

"So what do you think now?"

"We suggest that it consumes." The decision-making efficiency of Intel's Legal Department is still acceptable, and with the capabilities of Intel's Legal Department, the lawsuits that are won will basically be won, and the lawsuits that cannot be won will cost you to death.

Although it is not a glorious way to respond, big companies have always been this virtue. Paul thought about it and he has no better way for the time being. "You go to the legal department of Asimer and Zeiss first, and make a proposal as soon as possible. specific plan."

"Yes."

Intel’s strategy quickly spread to Sun Qicheng, and Sun Qicheng reported it to Meng Qian as soon as possible.

"Sure enough, it's exhausting." Meng Qian basically guessed it, or the Legal Department of Dafeng Group had already guessed it.

Playing with waste is more annoying than playing with head-on confrontation. Meng Qian knew that the company could not spend with them, so after hanging up the phone, Meng Qian immediately asked the Legal Department to activate the plan prepared before.

At the end of September, Paul and Ballmer were playing golf together, and the two were discussing some very important things.

After playing golf, Ballmer asked with concern, "What happened to Dafeng Group's lawsuit against Asmer and Zeiss recently?"

Paul doesn't seem to care very much now, "Slowly consume it. It is normal for this kind of patent case to be fought for three or five years. Anyway, it is impossible for public opinion to focus on something in three or five years."

"But Dafeng Group's response this time is quite surprising."

"So we should all attach more importance to this company than before. Don't forget that the comprehensiveness of Dafeng Group is a big hidden danger. I plan to find some time to talk to Samuel."

"Paul, this" After changing his clothes in the locker room, he took out his mobile phone. Ballmer turned on the mobile phone and saw a message, and motioned Paul to come and take a look.

Seeing the message on the mobile phone, Paul's face couldn't help but sink a bit, "Dafeng Group sued 9 more companies and all of them are suppliers of lithography machine parts!"

As we all know, Asim is an assembly company, and more than 90% of its spare parts are not independently developed by them. These spare parts need to be purchased from companies all over the world. This is where Asim succeeds and is also its weakness.

In fact, someone has been asking a question all the time, Asim’s lithography machine requires so many spare parts, is there no Huaxia product in it?

In fact, there are, and by 2019, many companies in China have provided spare parts for Asmar, but the problem is that what the mainland provides are not core spare parts, which belong to the category where people can find substitutes at any time.

Among the current suppliers of ASM lithography machines, there are 17 core suppliers, including 9 American companies, 1 German company, 3 neon companies, and 4 Taiwanese companies.

The most well-known suppliers are ymer of the United States and Zeiss of Germany, but the light source and lens of the lithography machine are useless. For example, Xinbang Electronics of Taiwan Province provides wire materials for Asmar, and parts and components of Gongzhun Precision. , Photomask Co., Ltd. and Jiadeng Precision provide ASM with UV light boxes and so on.

Among the 16 suppliers other than Zeiss, Dafeng Group sued 5 more, and the other 4 sued are 4 companies that are among the top 30 suppliers of Asmarck.

These 9 companies were sued for infringement. In the development process of Dafeng Group’s lithography machine, it adopted the same assembly strategy as Asmar. However, Dafeng Group’s assembly prerequisite is to use domestically produced products, so after so many years In the development process of Dafeng Group, the lithography machine of Dafeng Group has other lithography machine parts technology patents in addition to the light source and lens, which is completely different from that of China in the past.

Some people may question, does China at this stage have such scientific research capabilities? It is very simple. You can first understand the technical level of the lithography machine except for the light source lens dual workbench, and then check the domestic shield machine, domestic single crystal fan blade and domestic high-speed rail EMU. The history of technological development basically has the answer.

Back then, some people engaged in domestic shield machines, domestic monocrystalline fan blades and domestic high-speed rail EMUs. Some people also said that it is so difficult to admit that they are behind. Can you not be confused and confident? We are at least 20 or 30 years behind Omi in this field. technology.

Then Huaxia came out.

Therefore, there must be scientific research capabilities. I haven't done anything in one life. Still, the focus is not here, but the lithography machines in this life have entered the core projects of the National Laboratory.

Look at the 9 companies sued by Dafeng Group. Except for one from the United States, the remaining 8 companies are either from Neon Country or from Taiwan Province.

U.S. companies will definitely stand with Intel, and they can definitely get Intel’s help, but the problem is Taiwanese companies and neon companies? Has the distant water of Intel saved the nearby fire?

The content of Dafeng Group's lawsuit this time is very clear, it loses money, and then it is not allowed to supply to Asim until the dispute is resolved.

This trick really confuses Asmer and Intel. If five or six of these companies are now withdrawn, Asmer may not be able to find a replacement company, but it’s really not that good for a while. Look, because even if other companies have this level of technology and production capacity, they still have to consider the issue of compatibility, which means that ASM may have to stop production because the supplier is out of stock.

And when Paul returned to the company, he also got a piece of information. During the financial crisis, Dafeng Group low-key invested in several lithography machine parts suppliers.

In other words, even if Intel solves the current problem, Dafeng Group can still use its shareholder status to do some things.

Obviously, the matter was not solved by consuming energy, Paul had to call Meng Qian.

"Mr. Meng is doing well recently."

"Very bad." Meng Qian pointed out directly.

Meng Qian’s attitude caused Paul to give up some of the temptations he had originally prepared. “A lot of things have indeed happened recently. Asma’s side has also had a dialogue with us, hoping that we can come forward to mediate ~ www.NovelMTL.com~ We are after all talking to us. Mr. Meng has worked together for so many years, and I know that Mr. Meng definitely does not want to really hurt both sides. As Mr. Meng has always said, what you want is a fair development environment. It is not worth hurting each other on this scale."

"Yes, but the problem is that someone insists on pushing me into this situation, Mr. Paul, what do you think I can do?"

"I understand, but everyone can take a step back this time, right?"

"Then Mr. Paul will let those who should withdraw first."

"Mr. Meng, Asmai is sincere, I think you can talk to them first."

"Talk about it? Or do you want us to reconcile first before you lift the ban? If this is the case, there is no need to talk about it."

Faced with Meng Qian's strong attitude, Paul had to end the dialogue for a while. The first communication between the two sides did not make any substantial progress, because now whoever retreats first is to admit the counsel, and no one is willing to take this first step.

This thing is so frozen
