Chapter 82: Determination: Plagiarism!

After Cao Liqiang finished reviewing the trial evidence submitted by Su Bai, he transferred it to Chen Chao of the defendant.

After Chen Chao reviewed the trial evidence submitted by Su Bai, he immediately spoke:

“Presiding judge, these evaluations by passersby regarding the two games do not possess any legal effect, and I request that they be rejected.”

Cao Liqiang naturally also understood this point, and of course, he understood even more clearly the purpose for which Su Bai had submitted these materials to him.

It must be said that Su Bai’s purpose had been achieved.

As the vice president of the Nanshan Higher People’s Court, and as someone who had a certain degree of research regarding authorship rights and copyright, after reviewing the evidence submitted by both parties, he already had a general determination in his mind regarding this judgment.

However, the specific circumstances still needed to be determined through the litigation argumentation during the trial.

It must be known that the defendant’s litigation success rate in infringement cases within its own jurisdiction had almost reached one hundred percent.

He had not expected that at today’s trial scene, Su Bai would actually prevail in litigation argumentation.

Was this not equivalent to pressing down the head of the defendant?

Cao Liqiang’s gaze slightly swept across Su Bai, and in his heart there was no negative impression, and there was even a trace of appreciation.

Bang bang bang!

Cao Liqiang struck the gavel: “Application approved.”

After hearing that the application was approved, Su Bai did not have much emotional fluctuation, it was best if it was approved, and it did not matter if it was not approved.

In any case.

His objective had already been achieved.

In this round, he stood at the atmospheric level.

When Chen Chao saw that Su Bai’s application had been rejected, he originally felt somewhat pleased.

However, when his gaze swept across the plaintiff’s seat and he noticed the smile at the corner of Su Bai’s mouth, his heart suddenly tightened, and he always had a somewhat ominous premonition.

However, he could not explain where this ominous premonition came from.

On the trial bench, at the seat of the presiding judge.

Cao Liqiang again struck the gavel and looked toward the defendant’s seat:

“Defendant, regarding the plaintiff’s accusation that your side committed plagiarism, do you still have anything to supplement?”

Chen Chao also realized that the determination regarding plagiarism was about to be issued, and he felt somewhat nervous.

Because according to the current circumstances, they did not hold the advantage.

However.

Everything that should have been said had already been said, and there was basically nothing left to supplement.

After realizing this situation, Chen Chao rubbed his temples and could only speak helplessly:

“Presiding judge, our side has nothing further to supplement.”

Bang bang bang.

Cao Liqiang struck the gavel.

“Both parties have no further content to supplement regarding plagiarism, and there are no objections, the determination will now be issued.”

“Determination!”

“The mini game Happy Match It produced by the defendant Holding Co., Ltd. is highly similar to the game Crazy Match Match Match produced by Nanyou Studio, and the gameplay is suspected of plagiarism!”

“The suspected factors supporting the determination of plagiarism are as follows: the gameplay of Happy Match It produced by the defendant Holding Co., Ltd. is highly similar to the gameplay of Crazy Match Match Match produced by Nanyou Studio, and this gameplay is original to Nanyou Studio.”

Bang bang!

“Do both parties have objections regarding this determination.”

The corner of Su Bai’s mouth slightly rose, Nanshan must win, were you not impressive?

Were you not flapping your small wings very impressively?

Now it is good, is it not?

Your small wings have been broken.

Tsk.

Satisfied!

Su Bai spoke: “Presiding judge, our side has no objections.”

Chen Chao: “Presiding judge, our side has no objections.”

After the words fell.

Chen Chao deeply frowned and let out a long breath, knowing that even if there were objections, they would be of no use.

Furthermore.

The evidentiary conditions were placed there, and even if he had objections but could not produce evidence, it would still be useless.

It only meant.

That the determination of plagiarism meant that the one hundred percent success rate was gone.

Chen Chao’s mentality somewhat collapsed.

Beside him, when Kong Hao heard the determination, he also slightly froze, he had not expected that it would directly be determined that they had committed plagiarism.

With such a determination, then their one hundred percent success rate would be gone.

If they returned to the legal affairs department, the two of them would certainly be nailed to the pillar of shame of the legal affairs department.

Personnel of the legal affairs department: on our own territory, you still lost the case?

Especially in an infringement case.

They could already imagine the scene at that time.

Embarrassing!

Chen Chao let out a long sigh in his heart, the determination of plagiarism was not something he could control, losing the case would still be acceptable, but this was the second instance, and merely the determination of plagiarism was still acceptable.

However.

For the remaining matters, if they lost again, then it would truly be finished.

The pillar of shame would be firmly nailed.

At the plaintiff’s seat.

Su Bai’s expression appeared somewhat relaxed.

The determination and classification regarding plagiarism had already been completed, and it could be regarded as having already won the lawsuit.

However, the litigation application regarding the defendant’s unfair competition had not yet been completed.

However.

The most difficult part of this litigation case was the determination of plagiarism, because in game plagiarism the most difficult part to determine was plagiarism of gameplay.

If it had not been because the gameplay of Nanyou Studio was original, then this time it would have been impossible to determine that the defendant had committed plagiarism.

There was also another point.

The defendant’s legal department had legal knowledge, and had a great deal of it, but they were too arrogant.

If they had conducted careful research, then the difficulty for him to have the presiding judge determine that the defendant had committed plagiarism would have increased by at least thirty percent.

After the determination regarding game plagiarism was completed.

This case could already be regarded as having been won.

But it was still the same statement.

At Baijun law Firm, winning the lawsuit was only the most basic requirement.

Winning the plagiarism determination could only be regarded as breaking one of the defendant’s small wings that kept flapping.

However, as an adult, he wanted both.

On the trial bench, at the seat of the presiding judge, after Cao Liqiang determined that the defendant Holding Co., Ltd. had plagiarized Nanyou Studio, he again struck the gavel.

Bang bang bang!

“Regarding the plaintiff Nanyou Studio’s lawsuit accusing the defendant of plagiarism, the determination has been completed.”

“Do the plaintiff and the defendant wish to continue litigation regarding the defendant’s unfair competition, or reach a settlement?”

Su Bai took a deep breath: “Presiding judge, our side is willing to reach a settlement, but the conditions for settlement proposed by our side are as follows.”

“First, the defendant shall issue an apology to our side for its improper, non public, and unfair competitive methods, and the apology shall be made publicly.”

“Second, the defendant shall relist our mini game Crazy Match Match Match, and compensate our side for our losses.”

“If Penguin Holding Co., Ltd. is willing to accept our settlement conditions, our side is willing to reach a settlement with Penguin Holding Co., Ltd.”

Chen Chao: “?”

Were the conditions you proposed not openly slapping the defendant in the face?

Was this not equivalent to directly admitting that we engaged in unfair competition?

Beside him, Kong Hao spoke in a low voice: “Our legal affairs department has never been so aggrieved before, previously it was always our side that proposed such settlement demands, but now.”

“Our legal affairs department is actually being confronted with such excessive demands proposed by others, who would dare to believe this if it were said aloud?”

“Continue the litigation.”

“We absolutely cannot settle.”

Chen Chao rubbed his temples and heavily nodded, then spoke:

“Our side cannot accept the settlement demands proposed by the litigation party, our side requests that the trial continue.”

The corner of Su Bai’s mouth slightly rose as he looked toward the defendant’s seat, I already gave you the opportunity, but you could not grasp it.

Li Xuezhen likewise imitated the slight rise at the corner of Su Bai’s mouth and softly spoke:

“Lawyer Su, I stared at the opposing lawyer until he lost.”

Su Bai: “?”

This.

All right.

He also did not know what to say, and could only silently give a six.

After Chen Chao noticed Li Xuezhen’s gaze, he directly fell into silence, what was the meaning of staring at him continuously like this?

Psychological pressure was not applied in this way.
