It's not that Xia Duo hasn't thought about reforming the patent system, but this kind of thing is not something he can handle alone.

You must know that Netheril's patents are compulsory, whether you use it or not, as long as someone registers the patent, the Austrian Federation will directly deduct the money (to the Mage Tower Organization), unless you withdraw from the Austrian Federation.

But the Arcane Federation is also one of the consensuses of all spellcasters in Netheril. Leaving aside individual spellcasters, all Mage Tower organizations join the Arcane Federation by default.

It is not difficult to quit, but once quitting, it is basically equivalent to fighting against all Nishish mages. Basically, as long as people with normal sense will not quit voluntarily.

And once the new patent law takes effect, it is almost foreseeable that a large number of new patents will be produced, and as time goes on, new patents will only increase.

Although this can greatly promote the popularization and further development of magic, but—

This is almost no less than a nightmare for the ordinary mage tower organization!

On the contrary, the more powerful the Mage Tower organization, the more it can benefit from the new patent law, such as the Seven Towers. It can be said that once the new Patent Law is implemented, the Seven Towers will be the biggest winner.

If the mandatory fee in the patent law is changed to a usage fee, what kind of scenario will emerge?

First of all, registering a patent is equivalent to disclosing relevant information, and most of the new spells that are registered are largely used by individuals, and it is difficult to directly convert them into commercial interests.

Since it is for personal use, as long as people don't say it, how will the patent owner know?

And if the Austrian Law Federation is allowed to monitor, not to mention the potential leakage problem, the cost of monitoring is the most realistic obstacle.

Who will pay for this part of the money? patent owner? It is not so easy to monitor any record of personal private use, even if it is done by God.

Counting on the Austrian and French Federation to do it, I am afraid that the patent income is less than the cost of a high-intensity detection!

And if it can't generate revenue, who would be willing to disclose information for free?

Therefore, in the past, in order to protect the interests of patent registrants, there was a concept of compulsory fees.

However, if this method of charging is used for all patent projects, it is obviously out of date. For example, the design scheme of communication instruments that Shado wants to register, this can obviously be easily converted into commercial interests.

And market behavior is easy to investigate, and it would be too mean to impose charges.

But in the end, there are a lot of articles that can be done on what patents are compulsory and what are the fees for patent use.

Mage tower organizations that have the opportunity to participate in the formulation of the new patent law will inevitably seek their own interests, such as the Seven Towers. When they come, it is undoubtedly the most beneficial for them to charge all patents.

Although this has hindered the development and popularization of magic to a certain extent, the Seven Towers themselves have occupied a near-absolutely dominant position, and they may rather choose not to have the technological explosion happen outside the Seven Towers.

As for other Mage Tower organizations, the larger ones may seek to establish a more complete patent system, so as to use this system to rapidly expand themselves and reach the level of being equal to or at least close to the Seven Towers.

For some smaller organizations, most of them only have immediate interests in their eyes. At the same time, both comprehensive strength and innovation ability are very weak. No matter what kind of patent, it is most beneficial for them to not spend money.

Thus, whenever they have the opportunity to influence the formulation of the patent system, it is almost certain to do so in that direction.

For Shado, if he is not a Grand Arcanist, or even if he is a Grand Arcanist, but also has a lot of vassals, then he will probably be torn between perfecting the system and spending as little as possible.

In reality, he does not have many vassals, so he is more inclined to improve the system, and use this system to quickly grow himself and narrow the gap with the Seven Pagodas.

But this kind of thing is not up to him alone, and the attitude of the seven towers cannot be bypassed.

Therefore, when Eorem mentioned that he wanted to "renovate the existing patent system", Shado didn't quite believe it. this reality.

Of course, there are many enlightened people in the Seven Pagodas, but as the existing ruler, I am afraid that conservatism accounts for the majority!

Xia Duo is very clear that maintaining the status quo is the safest way for rulers to rule. Once there are variables, no matter good or bad, it will inevitably impact the existing ruling order.

Perhaps there are many enlightened people in the Seven Pagodas, but as part of the collective, they will inevitably be influenced by the collective will and collective interests, and are forced to choose conservative.

In a sense, when the Seven Pagodas began to grow, it was inevitable to become conservative.

Regarding Shado's doubts and worries, Eorem seemed quite calm, "Of course the reform of the order cannot be completed all at once, I mean—

"Use your self-interest disputes with Cross to cover up the silent changes to the new patent law. This time, as long as you can force the other party to make concessions to form a rule, if similar incidents happen in the future, you can deal with it according to the rule.

"This is an excellent opportunity. Cross has created a green tower alliance in the south, which is nothing in itself, but he also tried to integrate the internal territory of the alliance into a whole, although he temporarily bypassed it through some indirect means. Sevington Covenant, but it always violated the unspoken rules of territorial independence.

"It is difficult for the Seven Towers or others to accept this, so as long as you raise an objection, it is almost impossible for others to object, and they may be waiting for someone to come forward at this moment!"

Eorem said it in great detail, and at the same time Xardo is not a political novice. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Now that Cross is guilty of public anger, he will have the opportunity to turn "private grievances" into "public criticism" .

Among them, the change to the new patent is only a trivial episode, and even the word "patent" may not appear in the next joint meeting of the Great Arcanist.

The so-called "moisturizing things silently" is probably like this.

This is indeed a rare opportunity!

If it wasn't Cross, but someone else, Shado could almost imagine that the group of Great Arcanists were either fighting with the mud, or fighting with each other, or arguing with the fire, and it was unlikely that they would unanimously oppose anything.

Even if he made a connection in private, such as asking Cliff, Jenna, Byron, Broad and others to jointly propose, and then gain the upper hand.

But others may also choose to abstain from neutrality for the so-called "not hurting peace", or to maintain the so-called "fight without breaking", but in the end they have to stand on the opposite side of Xia Duo.

This is very difficult to do, and basically in the end, there is only endless wrangling, or simply resorting to force.

Either way, it wasn't what Xia Duo wanted to see.
