Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

As soon as the bell rang, Zhou Min called out to Cheng Zhao, who was slowly packing his things, "Cheng Zhao, come out here for a moment and take all your things with you."

Cheng Zhao had been working at Zhou Min's company for over a week and had a general understanding of Zhou Min's work style. Knowing that Zhou Min must have something urgent to tell him, Cheng Zhao immediately sped up his work and quickly packed everything up and carried it out.

"Sister Min, what's wrong?" Cheng Zhao asked Zhou Min with a curious look.

Seeing the lingering excitement on Cheng Zhao's face, Zhou Min smiled and said, "I'll register a patent for your invention!"

"Huh? But I didn't invent this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min paused, her brows furrowing slightly as she asked, "Who invented it? Can you contact him?"

For Zhou Min right now, getting this patent application approved is the most important thing.

As for who developed the patent, it makes little difference to their company. The only difference is that they will probably have to spend more time negotiating an agency partnership with the other party.

Cheng Zhao was taken aback when he saw Zhou Min's suddenly serious expression, but he still said honestly, "I don't know who invented it. I just made it myself based on information found online."

"Do you still have the documents? If so, find them and we'll all take a look at them together later," Zhou Min instructed as they walked.

"Yes, I've bookmarked it on my webpage."

"Alright, let's go over there first."

As they were talking, they arrived at the office where the patent engineers were located.

As everyone was busy, the group leader immediately stood up to greet Zhou Min and her companion when they saw them arrive.

"Is this it? It's even bigger than it looked in the video!"

The speaker was Wang Tianxing, the first patent engineer within Huachuang Intellectual Property Company to spontaneously form a working group.

At that moment, he took the item from Cheng Zhao's hand and exclaimed in amazement.

"Go find the information you just mentioned," Zhou Min instructed Cheng Zhao, then turned to Wang Tianxing and told him about what Cheng Zhao had just said.

Wang Tianxing seemed to have anticipated this, and apart from giving Zhou Min a look at the beginning, he spent the rest of the time carefully examining the drone in his hand.

After Zhou Min finished speaking, Wang Tianxing calmly said, "It's okay. We just searched and there are no similar patents on the official website."

"Should we contact the author of the material first?" Zhou Min hesitated.

Registering a patent is something that needs to be done quickly, especially when someone like Cheng Zhao has already demonstrated the function and principle of his invention in a live broadcast.

In this situation, even a slight delay could result in someone else registering first.

At this point, if you try to communicate with the data owner, even a slight disagreement can cause the process to drag on indefinitely.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianxing glanced at Zhou Min with surprise before saying meaningfully, "This drone isn't some top-secret technology. Military drone technology has been mature for a long time."

"There are definitely more than one person researching in the civilian direction, and it's normal for some ideas to be similar."

"In this case, whoever applies for the patent first owns the invention."

Wang Tianxing spoke as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Zhou Min opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she kept her mouth shut.

This is the current state of the industry; with my current abilities, I can't change anything at all.

Instead of worrying unnecessarily, it's better to adapt to the environment first, and then think about these things after you've achieved some success.

Just as Zhou Min was making up her mind, Cheng Zhao came over with his computer.

"These are the few pages; I've compiled what these people said."

Zhou Min took the computer and listened while scrolling through the webpage.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tianxing also came over and started looking at it.

“This is about drones, your wings are different from his.”

"Because I added an automatic hovering function, I modified the wings."

"Is there content that automatically hovers over the screen?"

"Yes, this one is automatically hovered over."

"Isn't this a car reversing radar?"

"Yes, that's what inspired me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min and Wang Tianxing both looked at Cheng Zhao speechlessly.

Can this be considered copying?

He might have misunderstood something while copying.

Wang Tianxing took the computer from Zhou Min and clicked on the other webpage links to take a look.

I found articles on topics like "wireless signal transmission module analysis", "remote control of monitoring", and "battery stability".

After only a quick glance, Wang Tianxing tossed the computer back to Zhou Min before turning to Cheng Zhao and saying, "This is definitely an original work."

"Patents are not as high-end as you think. In an invention, as long as there is something you invented yourself, or a technology that you first thought of and applied to this thing, then it can be considered your invention."

“We can apply for a patent directly. There will be a public announcement and substantive testing later. Any objections will also be resolved at this stage.”

"So let's not waste any more time. Can you give me a copy of all the technical documents you used when you were making this drone?"

At this moment, Wang Tianxing was even more anxious than Zhou Min had been.

As a patent engineer who has been deeply involved in the industry for nearly ten years, he is very optimistic about the drone market.

Because Huachuang Intellectual Property Company does not charge a one-time fee for registering patents for its clients, but instead adopts a revenue-sharing model.

Therefore, a patent with a market is extremely attractive to patent engineers who can directly participate in revenue sharing.
