Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Little Landlady thought for a moment, "This is Lin Chuan's problem."

"Uh."

Shen Qianqian fell silent for a moment, then said, "Isn't Lin Chuan's problem also your problem?"

"Of course it is!" Little Landlady asserted confidently.

"So, Lin Chuan's problem is your problem, and your problem is my problem; they're all the same. No need to fret over this," Shen Qianqian reasoned in her own peculiar way.

Little Landlady paused, looking befuddled, "It does seem to be the case."

"Alright, I'll go and get a grasp of the situation. You guys do the same," Shen Qianqian reminded.

Shortly after, the two ended the call.

"Both of you, do you think I should be thrown in jail or what?" At this moment, Lin Chuan finally 'demanded an explanation with a serious tone.'

Little Landlady shrank her neck, looking like a guilty little cat, with a sulky expression and downcast eyes, "Sister Qianqian and I were just joking."

"You've got some nerve!"

Lin Chuan huffed.

"Director, please, my legs are still sore," Little Landlady whined pitifully.

Lin Chuan gave a faint smile and gently rubbed Little Landlady's smooth, tender thigh, "I didn't complain about being tired."

"You're like a beast."

Little Landlady pouted her lips and grumbled softly.

"Cough, I'll be gentler next time," Lin Chuan scratched his head and said with a grin.

Little Landlady suddenly leaned into Lin Chuan's ear and whispered lowly, "I just love it when you're beastly!"

Hiss!

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, "In broad daylight, you want to drive me to commit a crime!" Your journey continues at empire

"No, I'm worried you'll be exhausted," Little Landlady said with a smile, pressing her lips together, "The lawsuit issue hasn't been cleared up yet. What if we were in the middle of that and Qianqian calls, what then?"

"Don't they have such a scene in the movies?"

Lin Chuan retorted.

"Too thrilling!" Little Landlady held her mouth firmly, her face turning a shade of red.

Lin Chuan couldn't help but pinch Little Landlady's rosy cheek and then chuckled, "When people are well-fed and warm, they think of lewd pleasures. With some free time on your hands, you're always thinking of stirring up the bedroom. But now that you've been sued, focus on the serious matter at hand first!"

"Okay, I'll listen to Director Lin!"

Little Landlady beamed a smile, her lovely face brimming with vibrant laughter.

As the authority within the company, she had signed numerous contracts, big and small, and had some understanding of the process involved in litigation and being sued.

Generally speaking,

After being sued, defendants could inquire about the details of the case through the Case Filing Court, or through other methods such as phone calls, the court's official website, the court's WeChat official account, or hiring a lawyer.

Lin Chuan and Little Landlady sat in front of the computer and opened the court's official website.

They then entered their names, ID numbers, phone numbers, received the verification code, clicked to log in, and after the page redirected, Lin Chuan clicked on 'Inquire about my case.'

At this point, they saw a case with the number '(2024) Criminal Initial No. ***'.

Lin Chuan proceeded with the operation.

Basic information about the case appeared before Lin Chuan and Little Landlady.

[Case Reason: Technological Achievements Patent Infringement]

[Case Type: Criminal Litigation]

[Plaintiff: Sania Weapons Research Company]

[Defendant: Lin Chuan]

[Case Progress:...]

[Legal Documents:...]

[...]

After briefly reviewing the case progress and legal documents, Lin Chuan let go of the mouse, crossed his hands, and gently rubbed his chin with his thumbs.

Little Landlady also pondered, "This Sania Weapons Research Company, we seem to have heard of them for the first time, right?"

Lin Chuan nodded slightly, "A weapons research company from Southeast Asia has launched a lawsuit against us internationally, which is quite unexpected."

International cases, especially those concerning the infringement of technological achievements, are actually very difficult to handle.

Usually, the party that has been infringed, or believes they have been infringed upon, could file a lawsuit in their own country or the country of the other party.

If they file a lawsuit in their own country, the infringing party must have assets in that territory for potential seizure.

Lin Chuan had no assets in Southeast Asia.

Moreover, Sania Weapons Research Company believed it to be a criminal case, with Lin Chuan needing to bear criminal responsibility, hence they filed a lawsuit against Lin Chuan in Anling Court.

Little Landlady picked up the mouse and scrolled down to revisit the part about patent infringement.

Many infringed patents were listed.

Just within the rocket projectile category, there were hundreds of technological patents listed, including 'overall design and structure patents', 'rocket projectile technology patents', 'guidance and control technology patents', 'production and manufacturing process patents', and more.

Additionally, there were patents for firearms, light tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled howitzers, early warning aircraft, and other areas.

All in all, the count of infringed patents was heading straight for 300.

Little Landlady's mouth nearly twisted, laughing and crying at the same time, "More than 300, truly criminal! If it comes to a sentence, how long would that be?"

Lin Chuan grinned and then opened a web page, typing in the search box 'Technological Achievements Patent Infringement, maximum sentence'.

The internet was fast!

With a whoosh, the page loaded.

The top hits were mostly advertisements. Scrolling down, he found some professional answers that laid things out.

Typically, ordinary intellectual property infringement is considered a civil dispute. For technological achievements patent infringement, if the case involves a large amount or causes significant economic loss, there is a possibility of bearing criminal responsibility.

In Lin Chuan's case, how many years he could be sentenced for was not something anyone had yet answered.

People probably didn't predict that there would be a case of 'infringing over 300 high-tech patents'.

"Can't find it," Lin Chuan muttered.

"Director Lin, click here to consult a top lawyer," Little Landlady pointed towards the right side of the screen, where there was a small ad for live consultation.
