Chapter 443： Tearsing patent grant (2/2)
This standard is not high, which also includes related technology transfer fees. For example: large-scale generator production technology, power transmission related technology, and so on.
The research and development costs of these technologies will not be less than 300,000 Aegis. The charging standards for the later patent fees seem to be many, but in fact there is not much money. After all, patented technology is time-limited, and it is impossible to receive the era of full popularization.
For example, the electricity used by residents is more than 4.5 million people based on 10% of the French population. Considering that there were more Dingkou in this era, there were only 5.6 million households.
In fact, it is difficult to make statistics when you settle the account. Basically, it is an estimation. The specific data is the French.
As long as the gap is not too big, it is impossible for Austrian New Energy and Power Company to send someone to investigate. The cost of this investigation is too high.
Industrial electricity consumption is more difficult to count. When several factories are counted as one factory, they can be fooled. It is very difficult to check.
This is also the reason why the patent fee for equipment production does not appear, mainly because it is impossible to count how much production is made, and the other party ca n’t receive much money at all.
The only guarantee is the license fee for each city, which is Paris in a short time, and other cities have to wait. May not wait until the end of the patent period, there are not necessarily ten cities to adopt.
Not every local government is so rich. Poor ghost cities are still the mainstream of this era, and it is normal to have no money to pay for the power supply system.
This patent protection time is determined. According to French law, the urban power supply network system is only eight years old, and the longest other patented technology is only thirty years.
When the time for protection of each patented technology comes, the corresponding cost will be deducted. How much the final return can be remains unknown.
Without an exclusive license, you want to charge a few more license fees. After all, the money in your hands is yours, and the potential benefits may not be available.
If the price is high enough, a one-time buyout is not impossible. Now no one knows how fast the power technology will develop in the future, otherwise the French are likely to buy out the technology directly.
In theory, this set of patents is still very valuable. It can collect millions of Aegis patent fees every year, but in fact nobody knows.
It is estimated that there are always 1.8 million per year. Anyway, it is also a power system. Although it is a little missing, it is also high-tech in this era.
In this regard, British talent is the hegemon. As the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, they have the most patented technology.
Just because of time, most of the patented technologies have expired, otherwise they now charge at least tens of millions of pounds every year.
Obviously, the British paid the royalties only locally. By the time the industrial revolution broke out in other European countries, most of their technologies had long passed the patent protection period.
The patented technology of the Austrian New Energy Power Company can be said to be a tearful sale. No way, who made their technology immature?
The current authorization is actually pitting people. After buying them, you will find that these technologies have a bright future and will not make any money in the short term.
Without money-making technology, it is naturally impossible to sell at a high price. Except for Paris and London, for the sake of face, they have to keep up their heads, but other cities are not so bold.
As long as time slows down, even if it only waits for two or three years, this cost may drop by 20-30%.
Now the bustling Paris and London do not have the handwriting of the Austrian New Energy Power Company, buying newspapers touting the ”Electricity Age”, ”Lighting Revolution”, ”Paris is behind”, ”London is behind” ...
If it were not enough for the people in Paris, the patented technology of the Austrian New Energy Power Company could not be sold.
There is no way to register a patent if you want to keep the technology secret; if you don't preemptively register a patent, you will be preempted by others, and the previous investment will be frustrated.
The Austrian Patent Office will keep them confidential, but the British and French patent offices will not have such an international spirit. From the moment of registration, transnational patented technology has become an open secret technology.
Since it can no longer be kept secret, it will not be sold yet. Do you still expect your competitors to obey the rules and not steal technology?
Everyone's scientific research level is basically at the same level. With these technologies, British and French can be copied for up to half a year, and maybe they can be improved.
Unlike the technology of later generations, technology has developed to a certain degree. Even if the high-tech technology makes the data public, it is not so easy to decipher.
When applying for a patent, a little more obstacles are set up, which can basically be kept secret. The current technology is just a gap in thinking.
Some technologies can be reversed when you see the product shell.
This is why no technical barriers have been set up in this era, as long as you have money to buy them. It's not that everyone doesn't know the importance of technical secrecy, but it can't keep secrets at all.
The same is true of the Austrian New Energy Power Company. When technical confidentiality cannot be achieved, it is natural to maximize the benefits.
Without selling patented technology now, it will be difficult to launch it in the future. Just setting industry standards is an irresistible temptation.
