What's wrong with this lawyer?!

In the end, they kicked him out, and now he knows, his invalid application wasn't supported.

Luckily, he was driven away, otherwise, he would've ended up in jail for this case.

Now he can get money without bearing any responsibility, isn't that great?

With these expectations, the trial was finally about to begin.

Old Tang grabbed his briefcase and headed to the Supreme Court.

Looking at the grand entrance, he still felt uninterested, no wonder there's the saying "Sweet Tian Tian and Madam Niu", and "The one you can't have always stirs your heart".

Supreme Court, just like that...

With these inexplicable thoughts, Old Tang walked in slowly.

Meanwhile, Jiang Fuzhi had already posted online: Work hard, even if the opponent is Lawyer Tang Fangjing, I can't easily admit defeat!

When Jiang Fuzhi arrived, Old Tang was already seated, organizing his materials.

These days, it's not uncommon for someone to be late for court; if the plaintiff is more than half an hour late without a justifiable reason, it's treated as a withdrawal.

If the defendant is late, then it's an absent hearing, considered as waiving their right to defense.

Here's a joke, just take it as a joke: some little fairy took a law exam, told the hotel reception the night before to make sure to wake her, saying this exam was very important.

The receptionist naturally agreed, as hotels generally offer wake-up services.

The next day, the fairy woke up after 10, causing a fuss at the reception.

The receptionist felt wronged, saying they called over a dozen times with no answer and knocked on the door—it was their effort.

The fairy was dissatisfied, saying she asked to be "woken up", not just "called", which led to her being late for the exam, blaming the hotel.

One look and you can tell she studies law, very professional, nitpicking over terminology.

She filed a lawsuit against the hotel, and on the court day, neither the judge's clerk nor the defendant's representative could find her, phone calls went unanswered.

Finally, the clerk got through past 10 o'clock, the fairy said she overslept, and was arguing with the current hotel for not waking her up...

The clerk, a young woman, was dumbfounded by this, and after hanging up, she told the judge two things.

The first was that the person had a good sleep, the second, whether she would continue suing and being late...

Getting back to business, Old Tang naturally saw Jiang Fuzhi, who was dressed in a sharp silver-gray suit, with leather boots polished bright.

In contrast, Old Tang seemed a bit ordinary, sitting there, looking inconspicuous.

However, the clerk felt Old Tang was particularly reliable, always consulting him on matters.

Jiang Fuzhi didn't mind, he knew his own capability, and to put it bluntly, the internet gave him a chance.

Otherwise, with his level, it would be impossible to sit in a courtroom with a lawyer like Tang Fangjing.

The tribunal members arrived; the Supreme Court also gave importance to this case, the panel involved seven members, with the chief judge being a deputy head of the Supreme Court.

The second trial procedures were simplified compared to the first, as both parties didn't submit new evidence, there was no need for evidence presentation and cross-examination.

It mainly focused on reviewing the appeals made above.

Old Tang reiterated, Dajin Company displayed significant subjective malice!

"Presiding Judge, the establishment of a punitive damages system is to make the party infringing on commercial secrets truly feel the pain, which is what punishment means."

"And in the initial patent infringement case, Dajin Company repeatedly resisted the court's investigation, and it was already judged that they were not allowed to continue production and sales."

"But Dajin Company ignored the judgment, not only not stopping production but also expanding production scale and inviting dealers from all over to visit its second-phase production line!"

"This behavior must be severely punished!"

During this time, Old Tang also learned about the unclear matter not explained by Huang Zhongyi.

The friend who initially informed Huang Zhongyi was actually one of the chemical material's dealers.

In other words, Dajin Company was bolder than imagined, they invited dealers to visit right after completing their first-phase fifty-thousand-ton production line.

That friend discovered then that the production line appearance was identical to Tengfei's.

By the second phase, Dajin had already lost the lawsuit, and the court prohibited them from continuing to use the disputed patent for production and sales, but Dajin ignored it completely.

On the contrary, they invited dealers to visit again.

By that time, Dajin actually knew it was the dealers leaking the secrets, but they didn't care at all.

So, Old Tang said, Dajin showed great subjective malice in this case, they didn't take the judgment or the law seriously at all.

They must be severely punished!

Jiang Fuzhi said: "I disagree with the other party's view, the other party's technology does not constitute a commercial secret."

"Dajin Company has been using its own technology from the start, so there's no issue of significant subjective malice by Dajin Company."

This is how the second trial appeal stood, Old Tang agreed with the first trial's identification of "commercial secrets".

But Dajin disagreed with the first trial's conclusions, maintaining that Tengfei's technology wasn't a commercial secret, and the case was past the statute of limitations.

So, there was this feeling of talking past each other.

Regarding the dismantling of production facilities, Old Tang also expressed his views.

"The specific manifestation of Dajin Company infringing on commercial secrets, I believe, has two aspects. The first is applying the technology to build corresponding production lines, and the second is using the technology and production lines for profitable production and sales."
