Limitless Dream chapter 97
097 patent battle
Choi Man-jae, who went to work, sat down with a heavy sigh. Every time I came to the company these days, the steps were heavy.
Not just yourself, but also other executives. No, the average employee was no different. The company is like a new house.
Fortunately, orders for memory chips, the flagship model, have not dropped significantly, but AP orders have been cut off completely. Orders other than the volume of the in-house product, Jinsung Phone, became zero overnight.
Ambitious preparations for the system IC also fell. It is said that SJ Industries will soon produce breakthrough memory semiconductors, and demand for DRAM will decrease sharply.
In this atmosphere, would it be fun to come out?
Analysts say the day is long and they are pouring out negative prospects. Not only are they folded AP semiconductors, they are also expected to fold their businesses, including memory semiconductors.
It was nonsense. The semiconductor business was the pride of Jinsung Electronics. Whatever bend could not give up.
Chairman Lee Chang-yong, who raised Jin Sung Electronics, will never surrender.
“Today is badly broken.”
I was muttering and preparing for the meeting, and a call came in. Checking the sender was an unexpected figure. Park Se-won, manager of the Patent Office.
“Oh, Park. I got a call. ”
“ Mr. Choi. Are you okay with the call?
“of course. What are you doing? ”
“ There is no application for a patent application, but this is not unusual. ”
“Patent?”
Choi Man-jae felt that the bones were smoked. My heart was cold so it was not good.
“ The patent objective is a technology for silicon semiconductor 5nm process. It seems to go one step further from the conventional method of using extreme ultraviolet rays and to use the reactivity of scobrianium. I need to do a detailed examination for details, but I called it because it is not unusual.
“What do you mean? 5nm process scobrianium semiconductor patent technology? ”
“ It’s a 5nm unit process with silicon, but it takes advantage of the reaction properties of scobrianium. It doesn’t process scobrinium itself into a semiconductor. ”
I understand what you mean.
But Choi was hard to understand the concept. Didn’t you make a scobrianium semiconductor and use scobrianium for a silicon semiconductor 5nm process?
“Once you need an exact check. Can I see the material myself? ”
“ That’s a little difficult. Do you not know?
“Then I would like to ask you how the process is going. It’s a matter of life and death. ”
“ How will I do that? ”
Choi Man-Jae briefly summarized the brief report. Park Se-won is not the one who will make a fuss.
He urgently visited Vice Chairman Lee Yong-moo, reporting in a tense feeling that his heart might drop. Of course, the uselessly surprised.
“The conclusion is that someone has applied for a source patent on 5nm process technology?”
“Yes, yes. It’s a method that uses the reaction of scobrianium, but I don’t have any sense. It is the first time that such a story is heard… … . ”
Jinsung Electronics is currently developing both 10nm and 7nm. Is there a 5nm source patent?
If that’s true, you’re baptized into cold or ice water. Somehow confirmed.
“Who are the applicants?”
“Sorry. I haven’t heard that yet. ”
“Find out who it is, and find out the details of the patent. Hurry up and see if it’s feasible. ”
Lee Yongmu’s eyes shone brilliantly.
“Do not choose a means and a way, do you know?”
Choi Man-jae felt intuition after seeing the eyes of Lee Yong-moo. The patent applicant would have to pay in some way.
Incomplete, false patents would have to be uncomfortable for planting a true successor. … .
“How did you check Park?”
“ Once the application for priority review came in, the IPC classification was completed, and the examiners are currently being audited. ”
“Is it already a physical examination? No, what’s so fast? ”
Choi Man-jae was in a hurry to say the priority screening. Isn’t that a decision as early as three months? When we think about period that usually takes more than one year, this time was imminent.
“ The applicant seems to be so confident, and the opinions of the examiners are also hard to find disagreement. In addition to the video of the manufacturing process, it also includes a 5nm prototype made with patented technology. ”
“Huh, is that really?”
Choi Man-jae could not erase the feeling.
The fish is not a stone thrown by anybody. The technology someone intended and filed was clear. Enclosed is a prototype.
“Can I check it once?”
“ It’s difficult. The patent under examination cannot be leaked to the outside.
“Please tell me how.”
“Sorry, but I’ve taken too much risk to tell you so much. … . 」
“You are very concerned about this.”
The horse’s breath stopped at that moment. A true group is a huge shade that covers his head.
Do you mean Vice Chairman Yong-moo Lee?
“Who do you mean but him?”
“ This is true … … . 」
Hesitation is clearly visible.
What would happen if you were uncomfortable planting a true successor, Jinsung Group, in this country where the power of chaebol is strong? It is one of ordinary people to be a public official of the KIPO. I will be afraid of repercussions.
“We’re not going to take the patent out or that’s it. I just want to check what it is. It is essential for our company to respond to change. ”
“still… … . 」
“I will never spill. Please allow our people to check in the patent office for a while. We will be responsible and persuade the parties. ”
“… … Then I’ll make a seat.
Choi Man-jae smiled.
‘done.’
Once a patent has been filed, it is almost impossible for a Jinsung group. All interested parties, including the patent examiner, must be bought, and applicants must be blocked.
If you can’t do it, you can’t handle it. If any one goes wrong, it will be accused of being a vicious robber. Undetected crimes are not scary, but publicized crime practices are fearful even in large groups.
However, it is not difficult at all by the power of Jinsung Group to check the contents slightly.
And if the contents can be confirmed, the patent containment strategy can be carried out without preempting the patent contents.
By indiscriminately developing peripheral technology to apply the original patent, the original patent holder can do nothing without this cooperation.
Confirmation of patent contents was carried out in one day. Five researchers, carefully selected and selected by Jinsung Group’s Semiconductor Division, secretly visited the Korea Intellectual Property Office.
And they were convinced.
“It’s technically possible. Above all, this prototype is the proof. ”
Prototypes identified through astronomical equipment must have been made using a 5nm process. That was the decisive evidence of time wasting in the verification process.
“However, the arrangement of forces using the reaction force of scobrinium in processes such as cutting and adding semiconductors is not well understood. There is no clear explanation for that. ”
“Isn’t it an incomplete patent?”
“Other methods don’t seem technically problematic. But what is missing is the core of this patented technology. ”
To put it briefly, it means that some of the properties of scobrinium have been used to finely polish semiconductors. Although the process has been described in detail, there has been no word on the nature of scobrianium.
“Maybe you will be notified of the reason for this.”
“Are patents rejected?”
“It’s not like that. If you reinforce the grounds for refusal, you will decide. ”
Choi Man-jae had a hunch. This technology will be the way to determine the fate of true electrons.
He confirmed the identity of the patent applicant.
“Resident of Seoul.”
The address was an officetel in downtown Seoul. He is 25 years old and 24 years old alone. Very young At this point he felt slightly puzzled.
“Only 25 years old? What is so young? ”
Convincing age was not going. Considering the military, you’re now in your third year of college. Is that possible?
‘no. If you use the reaction force of scobrianium or something, it can be a lot simpler than you think. ‘
Choi Man-jae shook his head to shake off the doubt. Now it’s time to move quickly, it’s not time to hesitate.
“Once you know more about this friend, What are you doing with friends, what’s going on with your family or networking?
“Yes.”
“I should report to the vice president.”
Choi Man-jae immediately found uselessness. We waited in heart and thought, and uselessness agreed to interview application without delay.
“What happened?”
“Patents seem to be real once. The 5nm process semiconductor prototype was also confirmed. Five of our researchers were unanimously certain. ”
“What are the measures?”
“Ordered indiscriminately to develop peripheral technology to apply the original patent. Even in the worst case, you will have a card that will press the original patent holder. And I’m currently working on the applicant. ”
“We need to be able to get the technology in any way and in any way.”
Lee Yong-mu instructed so. He also felt a sense of crisis.
The 5nm process is something that Jinsung Electronics, which has not yet succeeded in the 10nm process, can never tolerate it. Whether you can get this technology or even share your patent interests will determine the future of your company and the group.
“SJ Industry is just a headache, but when it comes out again… … . ”
“Sorry, Vice President. This is a failure of our executives who didn’t respond in advance. ”
Lee Yong-mu squeezed the temple.
But my head was sore for a while, soon a different thought came to me, and my headache arose.
“I’d rather be good. If you use this patent well, don’t you get a weapon against SJ Industries? ”
Choi Man-jae also had that in mind, but now faced with the first realization.
“i See! Good eye! ”
“Do not forget it. Patent owners must be included. What is his friend’s name? ”
“It’s called Han Seo Jin. I am 25 years old and a resident of Seoul. I’m investigating the background right now. ”
“Han Seojin? Where did you hear that name? … . ”
Lee Yongmu murmured lightly. I didn’t think of it as I remembered it.

I packed my scab with a scab and sweated.
