Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 375 Conflicts of Interest in Litigation Cases

Lin Youde's words made Li Te a little stunned.

But Lei Mengmeng strongly agrees with this: "Most of these copyright disputes are handled by "Machine War" itself."

"There is almost nothing we can do. From the moment the other party starts to appeal, we can only passively wait for the result."

"So, it's useless to be anxious now."

Lux took a tissue and wiped Lin Liuli's mouth. When she wanted to help Latoni wipe it, Latoni refused with a red face. Then he asked slowly.

"However, I still can't figure it out."

"Whether it's the copyright of the Fierce Bird or the copyright of Gundam, isn't it given by "Mech War"?"

"This kind of copyright is given by others. Is there any need to litigate?"

Amid Lux's doubts, Gu Lincai nodded slightly and responded: "Yes, Miss Lux."

Lux asked doubtfully: "How do you say that?"

Gu Lincai glanced at Lin Youde hesitantly. When Lin Youde smiled and nodded, Gu Lincai calmed down and asked.

"Miss Lux may not pay much attention to mobile weapons."

"But Miss Lux, if you talk about the Demon God and Geta, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?"

Lux thought for a moment and replied: "Free Federation?"

Gu Lincai nodded and replied: "Correct."

"The same goes for the ominous bird. When talking about the ominous bird, everyone will think of the Free Federation."

"Because Fierce Bird, Geta, and Demon God are known as the three major IPs of the Free Federation."

"In the context of this era where dimensional beasts are raging, a well-known robot IP can greatly expand the people's sense of security, increase their confidence, and promote the stability of society."

"Unlike the Free Federation, which owns the Getta, Demon God, and Ferocious Bird, which is the Ultimate Weapon series, the only IP that we can combine is the Undead series, which is the Ultimate Weapon series."

"The Silla Alliance still has the Grungast series and the Leon series, two IPs."

"We are unified but only have one Undead series. This is a bad breath for all citizens who have their own safety and international reputation at heart."

"Now, we have finally united to have a Gundam series IP that is comparable to or even surpassed the Birds. This is undoubtedly a major event that can enhance national confidence and cohesion."

"Not to mention the various feats that the current director has accomplished using Gundam in the world of "Machine War" have already made people subconsciously think that Gundam is stronger than the evil bird."

"Afterwards, Gundam appeared in reality to fight against dimensional beasts, and even participated in the Olympic Games. This undoubtedly gave the people of the integration a huge sense of pride."

In Lux's expression that seemed to have some realization, Gu Lincai said seriously.

"If Gundam, which has such a huge influence on integration, is judged by "Mech War" to be a copyright infringement of the Birds series, the Gundam will be classified under the name of the Birds series."

"What a blow that will have to the unified international image and the people, I think, is inestimable damage."

"So, even if it is to damage the unified national image and undermine the unified national confidence, this copyright lawsuit is valuable."

Lei Mengmeng nodded slightly and said, "This is only a non-economic benefit."

"Don't forget, the Gundam has now begun production by Wang Heavy Industries, and has received a lot of orders due to its excellent performance in the Olympic exhibition games."

"If the copyright lawsuit is successful at this time, Titans Heavy Industries will ask Wang Heavy Industries to stop using the Gundam copyright."

"Then Wang's Heavy Industry, which has just received a large number of orders, will receive a large number of breach of contract lawsuits. Maybe, Wang's Heavy Industry will go bankrupt."

Lux was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "Isn't this too much?"

Gu Lincai smiled bitterly and said: "This is the usual method of the shameless businessmen of the Free Federation. In fact, as far as I know of similar incidents, the Titans have done it no less than 10 times, but they have won only a few times."

"But if you win this kind of copyright lawsuit, you can make huge profits, and if you lose, it will only be a symbolic compensation for some reputational damage."

"For Titans Heavy Industries, a company with a huge business, this is basically a sure-profit deal."

Lei Mengmeng nodded and sighed: "So when Wang Liumei took orders before, she rejected all overseas orders."

"Who knows if these guys are up to something. It would be better to expand the domestic market honestly."

"And don't forget. Gundam's copyright also has great economic value."

"Now all kinds of Gundam toys in China have been sold out. Once the copyright is obtained by the other party, if you want to continue selling toys in the future, you will have to pay Titans Heavy Industries a large copyright fee."

Lin Youde picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and added: "Also, don't forget. Now Gundam is one of the signatures of our Lin Research Institute."

"Once the copyright of Gundam is taken away, it will be a huge blow to our Lin Research Institute."

"Although the body data and various technologies are still there, you can continue to use them as long as you change the image."

"But our research institute has just been established. If something like this happens, we won't suffer financial losses. Just being accused of plagiarism will deter many talents who would otherwise be willing to join our research institute."

"After all, most people still value reputation."

"Even if some people don't value reputation, there is no guarantee that the other party will not blackmail us into raising our salary requirements in the name of this kind of thing. This is another expense with an infinitely high limit."

Lux's face gradually darkened: "In other words, Titans Heavy Industry is here specifically for us?"

Lin Youde put down the tea cup: "That's right. At least from the current stage, the other party is obviously well prepared."

"And it happens to be the day when we start recruiting talents. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a targeted sniper attack."

Hearing this, Li Te looked sad: "Uncle, what should we do? Can't we do something?"

Gu Lincai shook his head: "Unfortunately, the party being sued is unable to respond to this kind of copyright dispute arising from the award of "Machine War". Because this copyright was originally granted by "Machine War"."

Li Te was a little angry: "Since the copyright is given by "Machine War", can this kind of lawsuit really be won?"

Lei Mengmeng calmly replied, "Okay. Xiaotezi, don't forget. We originally had an IP robot series called Wild Boar."

"However, because the wild boar looks like a fierce bird, "Machine War" has determined that the copyright of the fierce bird has a higher priority, so now we basically cannot see the wild boar series in the unified country."

"What we have now are only the Undead series and a large number of derivatives of the Undead series."

Thanks to "Shen Wu Yin Feng" for the reward of 1,500 starting coins.
