What's wrong with this lawyer?!

The statute of limitations is something that any competent lawyer would use.

A qualified lawyer has their own set of legal thinking, and the statute of limitations is definitely in there.

When used well, it might solve a particularly troublesome case instantly.

Jie Jianbin was still speaking there; he is a very typical traditional lawyer, taking action whether there's a chance or not, as long as there is reasonable evidence, he will definitely present it.

Over here, Old Tang was recording everything one by one. Frankly, this isn't a difficult point; a pretrial meeting is just to solve these issues.

Meanwhile, Jie Jianbin did not accept many of the facts, except for the contents of the criminal case, which he indeed couldn't help.

After a meeting that lasted several hours, it was finally time to adjourn.

Huang Zhongyi and Cui Zhengyu felt their scalps tingle; they had an illusion of having caught the person already, so why did the other side still have so many reasons!

They even claimed that their technology wasn't a trade secret!

Just before coming, Director Tang had advised them not to speak rashly; otherwise, Cui Zhengyu would have couldn't help but argue with that lawyer on the other side.

He hadn't had much experience in lawsuits before, but now, he truly understood why so many people online have a bad impression of lawyers.

Someone like Cui Zhengyu, who's wholeheartedly into technology, genuinely couldn't understand this point, what qualifies as a trade secret in the eyes of the law, and why it had to be said that way.

So, just as he walked out of the courthouse doors, Cui Zhengyu couldn't help but say, "Director Tang, isn't that lawyer on the other side just talking nonsense? Our company's technology is recognized in the industry; at the time, it was basically the only mature technology in the country!"

"We even received the Technology Progress Award; how could he have the nerve to say this isn't a trade secret."

Old Tang chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Chief Engineer Cui, I've told you not to worry, this is how lawsuits are; no matter how much reason you have, you have to let the other side speak."

"Leave the legal issues to me; next, on my side, there are some technical issues, and you all need to complete them quickly."

Although Cui Zhengyu wanted to inquire further, he promptly said, "No problem, Lawyer Tang; all technical issues can be left to me. What Tao knows, I know; what Tao doesn't know, I also know."

"He's just a deputy chief engineer."

Speaking of technology, Cui Zhengyu has always been proud, and he has the pride to back it up.

Indeed, different industries are worlds apart.

"Alright!" Old Tang nodded, "During the evidence exchange just now, the other side brought over some technical drawings as their technological secrets to prove their case."

"Since we've all signed the confidentiality agreement, this part of the content can't be leaked at all; you all have to handle it yourselves."

"My requirement is for you all to quickly compare these drawings with the registration materials!"

Cui Zhengyu's expression became serious: "Lawyer Tang, do you suspect there's a problem with their registration materials? That shouldn't be the case; the country's management in this area is still very strict."

Old Tang chuckled upon hearing this, "If there's no problem with the registration materials, then it means these drawings aren't real; in a case with stakes as large as this, committing perjury would indeed be very interesting."

"Additionally, take a moment to compare these technologies with the court's investigation results in the original patent case to see if they're the same."

"Do it quickly; I'm waiting for your results."

Huang Zhongyi nodded and said, "No problem, Lawyer Tang!"

We may not excel in law, but technology is where we have no issues; even companies like Dajin can only copy our technology.

After giving his instructions, Old Tang grabbed his briefcase and headed back to the law firm; now both sides have basically revealed their strategies, and that Teacher Jie Jianbin truly has skill.

However, the other side cannot win this case!

He's that confident; once Tao Zhongcheng was convicted, the outcome of this case was already determined, unless the criminal case verdict is overturned, but that's impossible.

For Old Tang, he wants to win, and he wants to win decisively; that's the issue at hand.

Furthermore, there's a significant trap now; it's just a question of whether Director Jie can spot it.

If he can't spot it, then sorry, Old Tang will proceed with his tried-and-true methods.

If he indeed spots it, things will only get more interesting...

Inside the court, Old Zhou had already returned to the office, feeling good about how Old Tang had looked at him today; usually, he doesn't see this kid looking puzzled.

As it stands now, there aren't many people who can still call Old Tang "this kid"; Old Zhou is one of the few.

On the other side, Jie Jianbin also led the team back to the hotel.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, how's the comparison from your technical side today?"

As mentioned earlier, before a pretrial meeting, all technical evidence won't be given directly to you; it only exists in the evidence catalog, stating this can prove a certain purpose.

Only after signing the confidentiality agreement can evidence be exchanged during the pretrial meeting.

The legal team also includes specialized technical personnel.

Xiao Liu scratched his head in response, "Director, the time was too short, we roughly compared, and the contents of the registration materials are indeed quite similar to the other party's technical features."

Jie Jianbin nodded, confirming from the existing evidence that Dajin might have initially just been seeking a design company to design their production lines.

This point could be seen from the confession extracted from Tao Zhongcheng by the court.
