Chapter 386: This judgment is unfair, I want to appeal_3
Some things are even too daring to write down.
On the other side, Jie Jianbin's face looked grim, and General Manager Qiao anxiously asked, "Director Jie, do you think we can win?"
Jie Jianbin shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, we need to be prepared."
Both sides went back to wait, but Old Tang was not idle, he was well prepared, barring any surprises, he should win.
The opponent will definitely appeal, and in such a case, it has to go to the Supreme Court.
It's just right, that patent invention case, now requires a retrial application to the Supreme Court, so he would make one trip to handle both matters!
When returning, he would conveniently report to the police in Tangfang City, feeling good.
The Handong Province High Court is feeling a bit overwhelmed right now.
The case is actually quite clear; the main issue is the amount of compensation.
Twelve billion? That's impossible; there's never been such a high compensation before.
After all, it's not the highest court, so there must be caution in such massive compensation.
Time slowly passed; another beautiful morning, Old Tang received a call from the High Court for another hearing.
It was still that familiar courtroom, Jie Jianbin expressionless, General Manager Qiao looking nervous.
Judge Sun began to read the verdict.
"The judgment is as follows: First, from the day this judgment becomes effective, Dajin Company, the design company, shall immediately stop using Tengfei Company's technical secrets..."
"Second, within ten days from the effective date of this judgment, Dajin Company, the design company, shall destroy the technical materials containing Tengfei Company's technical secrets that they hold..."
"Third, within ten days from the effective date of this judgment, Dajin Company, the design company, and Tao Zhongcheng shall jointly compensate Tengfei Company for corresponding losses and reasonable rights protection expenses totaling five billion..."
"Fourth, the litigation costs of this case shall be borne by Dajin Company, the design company, and Tao Zhongcheng; if dissatisfied with this judgment..."
Listening to the verdict, General Manager Qiao felt a darkness before his eyes; they lost, although it wasn't twelve billion, five billion was still significant!
And Old Tang's face also darkened a bit, truly, in such cases, it must go to the Supreme Court in the end.
This judgment clearly feels like a muddled compromise; money is one aspect, but on the other hand, the High Court did not support the demand to destroy the opponent's confidential equipment.
This is extremely crucial; otherwise, you just tell them to stop?
What if they continue production as usual after the fact, what do you do then?
But the court judgment also stated that considering safety production and the waste of social resources, it did not support this.
It also hopes both parties can reach a technological cooperation...
Old Tang isn't being overly demanding; he mainly wants cooperation, but then how is the compensation to be handled.
Thus, after the judgment was delivered, General Manager Qiao had not said anything yet when Old Tang directly stood up and said, "I want to appeal, I want to appeal, this judgment is too unfair!"
What the heck? General Manager Qiao and Jie Jianbin looked over directly; no, you can get five billion, that's five billion! And now you're saying there's an issue?
We, who have to pay, haven't said anything yet, why do you seem so aggrieved.
Huang Zhongyi and Cui Zhengyu, who were happy initially, reacted; five billion, didn't expect such high compensation before the hearing.
With this money, once the opponent stops infringing, Tengfei can reclaim the market.
Having seen those big companies' annual reports, many netizens feel five billion is a bit low.
But you have to know, the real manufacturing industry isn't like internet companies or gaming companies that are cash cows; manufacturing simply can't match those companies in making money fast.
An annual production scale of fifty thousand tons; the revenue looks substantial, but the costs are also high, profits could be around two billion, and there are many superiors.
If anything happens, it's basically waiting for work stoppage inspections.
Otherwise, why do people increasingly not want to do real manufacturing; that's the reason, making money isn't easy, and the responsibilities are startlingly huge.
Anyway, Huang Zhongyi and Cui Zhengyu were satisfied, but Old Tang was there shouting, unable to be pulled back.
Judge Sun was about to say something, and General Manager Qiao and Jie Jianbin finally reacted, saying the same, "We also want to appeal, this judgment is too unfair... too, anyway, we want to appeal!"
They were also going to say it's unfair, but since it was already said, they couldn't think of another word for a while.
Judge Sun's face turned black, the deliberation committee's hard-thought judgment, and neither side was satisfied!
So, in Judge Sun's darkened face, Old Tang familiarly pulled out the appeal notice; yes, this guy was ready for it!
The case was appealed, and online, Dajin Company issued a statement simultaneously.
This type of litigation information, as a listed company, must be disclosed timely, of course, you can choose not to disclose it, but if discovered, there would definitely be fines, and fines must also be disclosed.
Dajin Company's intention was that although we lost, we don't acknowledge anything being wrong, we want to appeal!
But the five billion in compensation, despite not being the most compensated in similar cases, is still veritably frightening.
The netizens are clearly more attentive to this five billion, all of them asking how this verdict was reached, how could such an outrageous compensation be possible.
"Chance Encounter": Is this even curious? Obviously, Handong Court judged it; surely it supports local companies, haven't you seen it before?
This comment quickly gained a lot of likes, after all, it was a non-public trial, and others couldn't see information related to the case.
Therefore, conspiracy theories naturally appeared.
Just as this viewpoint appeared not long after, another comment quickly emerged.
"Do you remember the so-called duel between two eminent lawyers before? This was the case, and the other party's representing lawyer is Tang Fangjing, who reportedly stated the judgment was unfair in court and has already filed an appeal!"
Really? The news spread quickly, stunning many netizens.
