Chapter 1051: Special Matters Should be Handled Specially.
This gave Zhou Qi a reassurance - now anyone who dares to counterfeit a trademark will be sued.
When I transferred to the Patent Office, I encountered an unexpected surprise.
When Zhou Qi spread more than 20 pictures of the products taken from different angles on the counter, the eyes of the female clerk in her early thirties lit up instantly: "Is this really for wine? I would believe it if you said it was a newly fired porcelain ornament from Jingdezhen!"
She was absorbed in looking at the design drawing, the peacock blue gradient glaze emitting tiny golden rays in the morning light.
"All the documents are here. The design patent and utility patent were applied for separately."
Zhou Qi handed over the neatly bound declaration booklet.
The female clerk sighed as she flipped through the pages: "I've worked in the patent acceptance position for three years, and this is the first time I've seen materials made so standardly. I'm afraid these design drawings will be collected in the sample library and used as examples for future applicants."
Several workstations nearby came over upon hearing the noise, and seven or eight heads gathered around the wine bottle design, marveling at it.
Someone joked: "I'm afraid the winery will switch to making art in the future. This wine bottle is worthy of being placed at home as a vase after drinking wine!"
"Excuse me, how long will it take for the patent certificate to come out?" Zhou Qi knocked on the counter.
The female clerk quickly put an expedited label on the documents and said, "Special matters will be handled specially. We will give you the green channel today. It will take at most 20 days according to this process. I guarantee you will get the certificate before the New Year."
"Can I start production before the patent is officially approved?" Zhou Qi asked tentatively.
The female clerk with glasses smiled and took off her pen: "Of course! This is not only the first application for this kind of appearance + practical patent in our Guanglin Province, but it may also be the only one in the country.
According to the first-come-first-served rule, we can now produce bottles of wine and put them on the market. Your design fully meets the three elements of innovation, and I guarantee that the approval process will be fast. "
After hearing several staff members say this, Zhou Qi finally felt relieved.
Now I can inform my father to let the glass factory run at full capacity.
There are less than two months left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, a major national festival second only to the Spring Festival. If Shengshi Tianxia can get this set of gorgeous products on the market before the festival, it will definitely make a fortune.
The staff sorted out the materials and handed over the form: "Comrade, fill out this registration form, sign and stamp it, and you can report it through the expedited channel today."
Zhou Qi didn't expect the process to be so smooth. It turns out that good products are popular everywhere.
As he filled out the form, he joked, "When the winery is put into production, I'll send 20 boxes for everyone to try."
"The wine is secondary. How beautiful the flower arrangement will be after drinking from such an exquisite bottle of wine."
Several girls gathered around the design and admired it. Zhou Qi handed the completed form back and said, "That won't work. We must taste the wine and give us more suggestions so that we can improve it."
"The bottle alone looks valuable. How much do you plan to sell this wine for?" someone asked curiously.
Zhou Qi stroked his chin and calculated: "Tentatively set at around ten yuan, depending on the market reaction."
There were gasps from everyone present. The price was considered astronomical in that era, but looking at the colorful bottle design, everyone felt that it was worth the money.
After finishing his work at the Patent Office, the street lights were on. Zhou Qi called Tian Xiaoyi's dormitory from a public phone booth, and soon he saw a girl with double braids jogging over.
The waist-hugging blouse she was wearing made her figure look slender. Although she was not as tall as Lin Ruixue, she had a scholarly and lively air.
"Have you settled everything about Haicheng?"
Tian Xiaoyi tilted her face back and smiled, revealing two dimples. Her fair and tender face under the moonlight made people want to pinch it.
Zhou Qi shook the file bag and said, "We have almost finished the work in Jinling. We just need to visit a few more media outlets tomorrow and we will be done."
"I didn't expect that you are not only good at fighting, but also so good at running your business."
Tian Xiaoyi tilted her head and looked at him, the ends of her braids swaying gently with her movements, and a faint scent of gardenia wafting through her hair.
The saying “A man of culture is naturally elegant” is truly true.
Who can enter Jinling University is not the best seedling in each province? Tian Xiaoyi was admitted at the age of seventeen, so he must be very smart.
"Come on, I'll take you to our cafeteria canteen and treat you to some ice soda."
Tian Xiaoyi swung her ponytail and smiled: "It's cool under the shade of the sycamore tree now."
"Aren't you afraid that your classmates might misunderstand you?"
Zhou Qi deliberately took a step closer to her: "Especially at this time in the evening, a man and a woman alone..."
"What's the misunderstanding?"
Tian Xiaoyi blinked her almond-shaped eyes and pretended to be confused, the collar of her white shirt fluttering slightly in the evening breeze.
"My boyfriend! Isn't that what young people call their friends these days?"
Zhou Qi reached out and brushed away the catkins on her shoulders: "What will you say if someone asks about it later?"
"Just ask!"
Tian Xiaoyi suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward: "If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. If I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
"Are you afraid that my shadow will be tilted towards the Qinhuai River?" Zhou Qi held her fingertips with his backhand and was surprised to find that the little girl's palms were sweaty.
As soon as he stepped into the school gate, Tian Xiaoyi let go of his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
The atmosphere in the early 1980s was so conservative that male and female students walking side by side under the street lights kept half a meter apart, not to mention such a rare thing as holding hands in public.
The shadows of trees sway on Wutong Avenue, and the cool air of camphor trees blows in the evening breeze.
Zhou Qi was just about to tease her when her ears turned red, and a few boys holding footballs came towards them.
"Tian Xiaoyi!"
The tall man in the lead suddenly stopped, and the football rolled to the side of the road. The streetlights showed grass debris on his sweatshirt, and his eyes glanced back and forth between the two men.
"this is me……"
Tian Xiaoyi was about to speak when Zhou Qi put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I'm her boyfriend. We'll have a wedding after she graduates. Come to the wedding then!"
Tian Xiaoyi almost bit her tongue, but she cooperated and leaned into Zhou Qi's arms: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's still early."
Zhou Qi looked at the clenched fist of the boy opposite him and suddenly realized that this boy was most likely a suitor who often delivered snacks to the girls' dormitory of the Chinese Department.
"Be careful...be careful of the impact."
The boy squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, picked up the football, turned around and walked away, his sneakers making a clattering sound on the gravel road.
Tian Xiaoyi and the others walked away before he burst into laughter and stuffed a half-drunk orange soda to Zhou Qi: "You acted really well just now? Do you want me to give you a Golden Rooster Award?"
"I'm just trying to keep you away from the bad luck."
Zhou Qi shook the orange soda in the glass bottle and said, "But to be honest, the popsicles in your cafeteria are indeed sweeter than those outside."
Zhou Qi suddenly put his arm around Tian Xiaoyi's waist, and felt the soft touch of the girl's waistline from his fingertips: "Who is this guy? Are you guys wearing this?"
Tian Xiaoyi's ears instantly turned red and she nodded hurriedly.
Although she had a cheerful personality, it was the first time that a man suddenly hugged her waist, and she froze in place as if her acupoints were pressed.
Zhang Zhengyue's knuckles were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds, and large stains of sweat appeared on the back of his sportswear.
Tian Xiaoyi struggled to break free by adjusting her bangs, and said calmly, "Zhang Zhengyue, you just finished training, right? Go take a shower and change clothes."
