Chapter 72: The Penguin’s Wings Slap Repeatedly Across People’s Faces

Before the two individuals came to Baijun law Firm, they deliberately searched online and consulted others regarding the reputation and circumstances of Baijun law Firm.

They therefore possessed a certain degree of understanding of Baijun law Firm.

The reason they had delayed coming was because they had been discussing whether they should come to Baijun law Firm.

The reason was that when they searched and consulted online for information about Baijun law Firm.

They saw one comment, or rather it could not be described as merely one comment, but rather the comments of one individual.

That individual criticized the firm extremely harshly.

He posted more than one hundred critical remarks.

Almost every so often he would post another one or two criticisms.

He stated that two years earlier he had entrusted Baijun law Firm with handling litigation, which had originally been a divorce case.

However, during the court hearing, when Su Bai acted as the entrusted lawyer and debated with the opposing counsel, he caused him to be convicted of bigamy.

Damn it, he was sentenced to six months of detention.

After he came out, the house was gone, the car was gone, and the wife was gone, and he himself had also been detained.

Therefore he was extremely resentful toward Baijun law Firm.

For this reason, they had always expressed doubts regarding the recommendation from that major law firm.

Only after they later examined the cases handled by Baijun law Firm this year.

And understood the relevant circumstances, did they decide to come for consultation first.

After the consultation concluded.

If they felt it was unreliable, then they would change to another law firm.

Inside the office of Baijun law Firm.

Su Bai looked at the two young men wearing plaid shirts and spoke warmly: “Please sit first.”

After the two sat down.

Li Xuezhen had already asked the two individuals for their basic information earlier, and she smiled as she introduced them to Su Bai from left to right:

“Lawyer Su, this is Lin Quan, and this is Meng Xiaofan, they have come for legal consultation, and they previously contacted our law firm.”

These were the clients in the extraordinary case introduced by Feng Lijian.

They were still quite young.

Su Bai smiled, extended his hand, and said: “Hello, I am Su Bai, a lawyer at Baijun law Firm.”

“Hello, Lawyer Su.”

“Hello, Lawyer Su.”

Lin Quan and Meng Xiaofan shook hands with Su Bai one after the other.

After exchanging pleasantries, they entered into the main subject.

Regarding the previous introduction of the case, Su Bai only knew that it concerned an infringement case involving plagiarism and related issues, that they were litigating against Penguin, that they had lost in the first instance, and that they were preparing to initiate a second instance appeal.

He did not know the remaining details very clearly, because the introduction of the case had not been very detailed.

Yes, this Penguin referred to that formidable company that flapped its two small wings and was known as being undefeated in Nanshan.

Litigating against such a company was not only highly difficult.

There was also another point, namely that infringement cases were extremely difficult to determine.

Not to mention large companies, even when ordinary medium sized or small companies committed plagiarism and infringement, when litigating against the partner law firms of such companies in infringement cases, unless there existed evidence capable of conclusively determining liability, it was very difficult to establish that the opposing party had committed infringement.

The key point lay in the fact that domestically the standards for defining plagiarism cases and infringement cases were unclear, and proving the existence of plagiarism was difficult, so long as the opposing party relied upon this point for defense.

Then the litigating party would find it very difficult to prevail.

Among Lin Quan and Meng Xiaofan, it was evident that Lin Quan was the principal speaker.

Lin Quan wore a plaid shirt and black framed glasses, presenting the appearance of a technical expert, and he said:

“Lawyer Su, we were introduced by another law firm and came here because of your reputation, regarding our case, Lawyer Su should already have a general understanding, correct?”

Su Bai smiled and nodded: “I understand part of it, the opposing party is a large enterprise with very strong legal capabilities, and the matter concerns plagiarism and infringement, as for the rest, I do not know.”

When Lin Quan saw Su Bai’s calm expression upon hearing the phrase undefeated in Nanshan, he felt somewhat relieved in his heart.

Regarding this litigation.

They had consulted many law firms in Nandu, and when those law firms heard that the opposing party was undefeated in Nanshan, to a greater or lesser extent they all displayed some degree of surprise.

When they further heard that the matter involved plagiarism and infringement.

They completely withdrew.

Either they proposed extremely high legal fees that the clients could not afford, or they stated that they could not accept the case and could not complete the entrusted task.

Su Bai’s calm demeanor caused a trace of hope to arise again in his heart.

Su Bai looked at Lin Quan, perceived the thoughts in his mind, and continued speaking: “You may explain this case in detail.”

“All right, Lawyer Su.”

Lin Quan nodded slightly and continued:

“It is like this.”

“Both Meng Xiaofan and I were originally graduate students in computer science at Nandu University of Electronic Science and Technology, and we graduated one year ago, during our graduate studies our technical ability was good, and we usually liked to write some small game code to earn additional income and pocket money.”

“As the number of small games we produced gradually increased, they gradually began to generate profit, and after graduating from graduate school the two of us concentrated on developing games.”

“We also deliberately established a game studio, the scale was not large, but it was not small either.”

“Our primary operating model for the games was to publish the games we created on mini game platforms and game distribution platforms.”

“What we did not expect was that one of the small games we produced unexpectedly became popular.”

“Because the reputation and sales of this small game were good.”

Certain platforms noticed us.

“At that time, the platform contacted us and proposed that they wished to cooperate with us.”

“In fact we were also willing, but the agreement they proposed was too unreasonable.”

“So we did not agree.”

“However, what we did not expect was that after we refused, the platform directly removed our small game from the shelves.”

“And a few days later, an imitation version of our small game was launched on the platform.”

“At the first instance trial, we sued the opposing party and lost.”

When Lin Quan described the course of events, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his tone was filled with anger.

The source of his anger was that the platform had not only plagiarized their small game, but had also removed their original game and replaced it with the plagiarized version on the platform.

The combination of these two actions made Lin Quan feel particularly resentful and helpless.

Su Bai could understand Lin Quan’s feelings.

After all, it was something he had painstakingly created himself, and after it had finally become popular, it was suddenly plagiarized by others, not only plagiarized, but the original version had also been eliminated.

This situation could be described as follows.

I cannot defeat you, so I directly block your account, I do not follow any rules, I directly employ unfair means.

In the face of such a situation, should one not feel angry?

To speak honestly, anyone would certainly be extremely angry.

The opposing party’s small wings were openly striking directly against your face, how could you not be angry?

One would certainly be angry, but there was no solution.

However.

According to what Lin Quan had said, they had lost at the first instance trial, which was entirely normal.

Undefeated in Nanshan possessed top level legal capabilities nationwide, litigating against a small studio was extremely easy.

Those two small wings, with only one strike from the left, without even requiring a strike from the right, directly defeated the opponent.

After listening to Lin Quan’s preliminary description.

Su Bai felt a wave of discomfort in his teeth, the legal fees for this case would not be easy to earn.

They were entirely hard earned fees.
