Chapter 64 My punch can pierce through dimensions!
"Ethan Jones—"
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
An hour later, Evelyn Jensen violently pushed open the door to Ethan Jones' new home from the outside.
The loud thud expressed her inner anger.
The clicking of the door lock, its reverse curve, spoke of her boundless rage.
"Didn't you say that 'Snake Game' was your own creation? Didn't you say you didn't plagiarize?"
"But why now? Why is Mirova suing you? Saying you violated their rights with Snake Game?"
"Snap—"
Evelyn Jensen slammed the file folder she was holding onto the coffee table in front of Ethan Jones.
Her name was written on the white-on-black document.
Indeed, as a co-inventor of Snake Game, Evelyn Jensen could not escape Mirova's encirclement!
"I don't know..." Looking at his sister's angry face, Ethan Jones, still completely bewildered, shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't know why Mirowa would sue us. I'm very surprised myself!"
"And I can assure you, I absolutely did not plagiarize Milrova's ideas!"
"If I copied Mirova's idea and it got you sued, you can shoot me!"
"I'll use that Remington 870 you gave me!"
Ethan Jones was adamant.
Because he really didn't plagiarize anything by Milrohua!
The furious look in her eyes and the oaths she swore made Evelyn Jensen close her eyes and take a few deep breaths.
The girl tried hard to calm herself down, and when she looked at Ethan Jones again, her voice, now steady, was the best indication of trust: "Alright~Alright~Alright~I believe you, but what's going on?"
Evelyn Jensen showed no intention of sitting down. Instead, she pointed condescendingly at the copy of the indictment on the coffee table and said, "I can believe you, but the San Francisco court finds Milrohua right."
"Right?"
His sister's question made Ethan Jones turn his attention back to the indictment on the table, the contents of which gave him a terrible headache. He had spent the past hour studying it, and he found that he understood it, yet he didn't.
I understood because the complaint has a standard format, which includes the name of the court and the names of the parties, a statement that the court has jurisdiction over the case, and the specific facts of the defendant's infringement of my rights...
The first two are quite simple; as long as you can recognize words and have a brain, you can understand them.
The part I didn't understand was the third point, which is Milrohua's claim to its own rights.
In the lawsuit, Milrova's lawyers stated that the "Snake Game" designed by Ethan Jones and Evelyn Jensen infringed on Milrova's patent "US3728480 A".
If it were just this description, it would be normal for Ethan Jones not to understand it. Because he had never seen the patent 'US3728480 A' and had no idea what it contained, he simply couldn't determine what Milova was talking about.
However, in patent infringement cases, the plaintiff must clearly state their patent information in the complaint, including the patent number, the name of the invention, and a detailed explanation of how the defendant infringed their patent.
and so……
As Ethan scrolled down, his blood pressure began to spike.
The patent in US3728480 A is titled "Television gaming and training apparatus".
The inventor of the patent is Ralph H. Baer.
Mirova's claim of infringement regarding *Snake Game* is that "Ethan Jones and Evelyn Jensen, without authorization from Mirova, used Mirova's patents to launch their own game, *Snake Game*, and reaped huge profits."
In fact, Ethan Jones could understand all of the above!
But it is precisely because he can read it that he cannot understand it!
To put it simply, the patent 'US3728480 A' that Milrova refers to specifically represents the 'Mirova Odyssey' home video game console! And now, Milrova claims that the game 'Snake Game' infringes on the 'Mirova Odyssey' console's patent??
WTF!!
What kind of utterly ridiculous logic is this?!
Thinking about this, Ethan Jones became even angrier—
"MFxxk!!!"
"We're making a virtual game! How could my virtual game infringe on the copyright of a physical game console?"
"If I could make a 2D game infringe on the patents of 3D objects, then what's the point of making games at all!"
"I'll make these words on the paper jump up and strangle those sons of bitches like Mirohua!"
"I'm going to let the whole world know that my punch can fucking pierce through dimensions!"
Ethan Jones raised his right hand, made a fist, and waved it forcefully in the air!
That slight tremor was the burning of anger!
He was breathing heavily, his eyes fixed on Evelyn Jensen. "Sister—"
"Do you still think I'm plagiarizing? Do you think we've infringed on your rights? Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
Evelyn Jensen frowned as the questions continued to come.
Because she was in a state of extreme surprise and anger after receiving the summons and a copy of the complaint, she didn't even bother to carefully read the contents. So when her brother spoke of Mirowa's rights, she calmed down and sat down.
He picked up the indictment on the table and examined it carefully.
Then--
"MFxxk..."
She started spraying too.
no way!
Who can blame them when Mirowa's demands are just too bizarre!
After spraying her, Evelyn suddenly stood up. "No, we need to get a lawyer for this!"
"Since the San Francisco court has accepted the case, it means they have accepted Milroy's argument!"
At this point, she angrily kicked the sofa again, "Oh, you idiot! How could they accept something so outrageous?"
Ethan wholeheartedly agreed with his sister's suggestion.
Because at that moment, he genuinely felt that his intelligence was simply insufficient to comprehend the thought processes of people like Mirowa.
When Evelyn hurriedly led Ethan to Barbara, before they could even complain about Mirova's bizarre behavior, the mage, who had just finished class, pressed his hands down to signal them to stop, and then asked a strange question—
"Was this summons and copy of the complaint personally delivered to you by the California attorney appointed by Milroy?"
This question surprised Ethan and Evelyn.
They exchanged a glance and nodded.
"Yes. They even gave me their business cards."
Ethan and Evelyn took out the business card that Sidley Austin had given them.
Barbara glanced at the business card, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, I understand. You can prepare for the court appearance."
"Judging from the current situation, Milrohua believes he is certain to win and is unwilling to reach a settlement with you."
'???'
These words surprised Ethan and Evelyn.
"Ms. Barbara, what do you mean by this?" Evelyn asked.
Barbara did not answer immediately, but instead led the two to her office.
After opening the door, she gestured for you to come in, saying, "Come in, you two unlucky bastards."
"Unlucky ones who get targeted by capital."
Thank you to [May Coconut] for the 500 Qidian coins.
