Programmers can get high salaries, why it is difficult to get rid of the fate of overtime —— The complex ecology behind the "996" working system of Internet enterprises

 

Recently, a new user named "996icu" appeared on GitHub, an international open source community. He built a new code warehouse named "996.ICU", pointing out that the "996" working system prevailing in Internet companies seriously violated the labor law. Subsequently, this quickly became a professional group of programmers and even a national topic.

The so-called "996" working system refers to working hours from 9: 00 am to 9: 00 pm, with one hour off at noon and evening, totaling more than 10 hours a day, working six days a week and working 72 hours a week. This working time, regardless of whether there is overtime pay, has violated the labor law.

This kind of working system gives people the first impression that enterprises are squeezing employees, but if programmers are weak, then why can programmers get a high salary of 20 thousand to 30 thousand? In fact, programmers are not a vulnerable group, but a group with high salary, high quality, high skills, high attention and high voice. The various factors and logic contained in their rights protection actions are more complicated.

In the consumer market, there are two important methodologies to judge whether an enterprise has violated the interests of consumers: Is there competition? Is consumer sovereignty still there?If the answers to these two questions are yes, I don’t think there is any big problem.

Similarly,On the issue of overtime and wages, there are also two methodologies: is the enterprise in a competitive state in the labor market? Can job seekers choose?If these two answers are in the affirmative, then the problem will not be too serious.

Moreover, under these two premises, safeguarding rights is definitely not as simple as it seems. There must be deep-seated factors besides the simple explanation of "enterprises squeezing employees".

It is worth noting that,Opposing "996" is more of a group appeal, but it has not become a universal behavior of individuals in the group.

Theoretically, programmers have the ability to get rid of the 996 working system by individual choice. For example, ask if you want to work overtime regularly during the interview; Resignation from the company that announced the implementation of 996; You can also choose to go to a smaller company. This kind of dispersed individual behavior will eventually form a group trend, which makes the company dare not implement the 996 working system at will.

In fact, the high salary of programmers comes from this mechanism. Programmers make choices independently and dispersedly, and use the method of "voting with their feet" to make enterprises offer high salaries. Finally, the systematic situation of programmers’ general high salaries is shaped.

Why can the decentralized and independent individual selection mechanism bring high salaries to programmers, but it can’t make them get rid of 996?

From the industry point of view, the Internet and IT industries have fierce competition and rapid development, and the company must strive hard; From the specific nature of work, programmers are often faced with urgent needs and often have unexpected events to solve, which will lead to frequent overtime. The nature of business makes overtime work a "just need" for employees.

From a larger perspective, China’s overall income is not high. According to the economic law, when the income is not high, people tend to work more in exchange for more wages. This makes employees’ motivation against overtime weak. Just as a programmer told reporters: As long as the money is in place, everything can be said.

In fact, the IT industry has experienced explosive growth in the past 30 years. Entrepreneurship, equity and listing have constructed one wealth myth after another.People in IT companies are willing to work overtime, which is largely due to the wealth effect. Entrepreneurship, options, bonuses and dividends all encourage employees in the industry to work overtime.

The industry’s just need for overtime, employees’ expectation of wealth and weak resistance to overtime often form a culture, which leads to all kinds of unnecessary overtime. For example, in a department or a company, when someone works overtime, others are forced to follow suit. Over time, it has become the default consensus that Internet companies work long hours and are not fixed. In the end, the company unscrupulously stood up and implemented the 996 system, turning overtime into a solidified system.

However, the Internet industry is developing at a rapid pace, and many things have changed.

From the perspective of the big economic law, with the increase of wage level, with rich income, the marginal effect of income begins to decrease, and workers will think that leisure is more important than income growth, preferring to increase leisure and reduce working hours.

From the time point of view, "996" was mentioned frequently from about 2014, and it took about five years for this outbreak to be a hot topic. Five years ago, it was the time when the myth of entrepreneurship and wealth creation brought by the mobile Internet kept emerging. Five years later, the economy is in a new normal, the Internet’s wealth-making ability is no longer beautiful, and the incentives are reduced.Without money, overtime culture can’t continue.

Therefore, when the "996ICU" action appeals, awakens and influences the programmers in China, the "996" overtime system will be more severely challenged. Internet companies in China should conform to this general trend and maintain long-term sustainable development with better labor protection and welfare.

Of course, at the same time, the characteristics of the Internet and IT industries also need to be respected. For example, your APP can’t be used, and you definitely want programmers to work continuously to solve this problem. Therefore, the introduction of flexible working hours is also inevitable.

It is worth noting that the implementation of flexible working hours in China needs the approval of relevant supervision departments, so law enforcement departments also need to respect the diversified market formats and make appropriate adjustments.Only legal and clear overtime can make those illegal and vague overtime more obvious, so as to better regulate it.

Standard essential patent

  [Editor’s Note] Although patent standardization can promote innovation, improve efficiency, reduce consumers’ adaptation costs and eliminate international trade barriers, it also greatly enhances the position of standardization organization participants in patent licensing negotiations, leading them to demand unfair, unreasonable and discriminatory patent licensing fees from standard users, namely patent licensees. Therefore, the patent system needs to fully consider the connection with the standard, and further improve the patent system related to the standard, especially the patent licensing fee system. This paper analyzes the system related to the standard-related essential patent in combination with the legal application of the US court and the China court in the cases of Microsoft v. Motorola and Huawei v. American Interactive Digital Company respectively.

  I. Introduction

  There is no unified and clear definition of Standards-Essential Patents, SEP) [1]. We believe that if the implementation of technical standards must be based on infringement of patent rights, even if there are other technologies that can be included in the standards, the patent is a necessary patent for relevant technical standards. Standard refers to a normative document that is formulated by consensus and approved by recognized institutions, used together and reused in order to obtain the best order in a certain range [2]. Although patent standardization can promote innovation, improve efficiency, reduce consumers’ adaptation costs and eliminate international trade barriers, it also greatly enhances the position of standardization organization participants in patent licensing negotiations, leading them to demand unfair, unreasonable and discriminatory patent licensing fees from standard users, namely patent licensees.

  In order to seek a balance between technical standardization for public use and patent protection, ISO in its relevant intellectual property policies not only requires standard participants to disclose the patents they own or actually control to ISO in time, but also requires them to promise to license all standard implementers to use their patents on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms. This is the "FRAND" principle that the patentee of standard essential patent must abide by in the licensing of standard essential patent.

  Take the European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) as an example, the 4th.1 of its intellectual property policy stipulates: "During the development of the standards or technical regulations in which it participates, every member shall make reasonable efforts to inform ETSI of its necessary intellectual property rights in time. In particular, members who put forward technical suggestions for standards or technical specifications should draw ETSI’s attention in good faith to any intellectual property rights that may become necessary if their suggestions are adopted. " ETSI’s intellectual property policy 6.1 further stipulates: "If the necessary intellectual property rights related to a specific standard or technical specification have attracted ETSI’s attention, ETSI’s director-general shall immediately require the necessary intellectual property owner to make a written commitment within three months, and at least within the following scope, it is ready to grant an irrevocable use license under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory conditions; Manufacturing, non-manufacturing or OEM are used to manufacture customized components or subsystems that meet the licensee’s own design standards; Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the equipment manufactured in the above manner; Maintenance, use or operation of the above equipment; How to use it. "

  However, the standardization organization has not made any provisions or expressed any opinions on how to judge the necessary patent license fee of FRAND standard, which leads to difficulties. In April, 2013 and October, 2013, the US court and the China court respectively expressed their opinions on how to judge the FRAND standard essential patent license fee in the cases of Microsoft v. Motorola and Huawei v. American Interactive Digital Company. However, due to the differences in the cultural background and legal accumulation of the judges of the two countries, the judgments of the two countries have their own characteristics and show great differences. [3] Based on the judgments of the above two cases, this paper makes a comparative study on several issues related to the calculation of essential patent royalties of FRAND standard, and draws some possible beneficial conclusions on this basis.

  Second, the FRAND standard essential patent related system policy considerations

  In the case of Huawei v. Interactive Digital Corporation of America, in order to evaluate the standard necessary patent license fees in line with the FRAND principle, the courts of first and second instance mainly considered the following three policy factors: total control, anti-patent hijacking and anti-patent license fee stacking. The first is total control, which means that the license fee of standard essential patent cannot exceed a certain proportion of the product profit of standard essential patent users. The courts of first and second instance of Huawei case held that technology, investment, management and labor jointly created product profits, and patented technology only created one factor of product profits. Therefore, the license fee required by the patentee should not exceed the total profit of users’ products in any case, otherwise, the license fee cannot be considered as conforming to the FRAND principle. The second is anti-patent hijacking. Patent hijacking refers to the ability of the patentee to claim more than the value of the patented technology itself and the ability to try to grab the value of the technical standard or regulation itself. In the judgment of Huawei v. American Interactive Digital Company, the courts of first instance and second instance did not explicitly use the concept of "anti-patent hijacking", but both courts held that the patentee of standard necessity should not profit from the standard itself, and its contribution lies in innovative technology rather than the standardization of its patent. That is to say, the two courts actually think that the necessary patent license fee should prevent the occurrence of patent hijacking. The third is Anti-Royalty Stacking.Stacking of patent license fees refers to the phenomenon that the licensee pays many different standard essential patentees over the license fees for one standard. Huawei’s courts of first and second instance both hold that a standard or technical specification contains many standard essential patents, and any standard essential patentee can only get the license fee due to him.

  Different from the judgment of Huawei v. American Interactive Digital Company, the judge of Microsoft v. Motorola clearly used the concepts of anti-patent hijacking and anti-patent license fee stacking in addition to the above three policies, and also considered the following two policy factors. First, the necessary patent licensing fees of FRAND standards should be maintained at a level that can promote the wide adoption of standards, which is also the main purpose of ISO [4]. Second, the method of determining the necessary patent license fee of FRAND standard should ensure that valuable patents can get reasonable royalties in order to establish truly valuable standards, which is also one of the goals of ISO [5].

  Comparatively speaking, the judge in the case of Microsoft v. Motorola has considered the policy factors involved in the calculation of FRAND standard essential patent license fees more comprehensively, which is conducive to better balancing the interests of standard essential patentees, standard users and social public interests. In this regard, as stated in the judgment of Microsoft case, if the standard essential patent license fee is too high, although not using ISO standards may mean huge market entry barriers for market participants, if the standard essential patent license fee is higher than the cost for market participants to overcome market entry barriers, market participants will choose not to adopt ISO standards, which is very unfavorable for the popularization and application of standards. On the other hand, the creation of valuable standards is of great benefit to the whole society, but valuable standards depend on valuable technology. After the valuable technology is included in the standard, the patentee will lose the basic incentive to participate in the standardization organization if he can’t get reasonable and sufficient royalties, or even get less royalties than before being included in the standard. Of course, there are many necessary patents in a standard, but the technical content and contribution rate of each patent cannot be completely consistent. How to ensure that patents with more technical content and greater contribution to the standard get more royalties is also a problem that FRAND principle must consider. It is a great pity that the policy considerations in the first and second judgments of Huawei v. American Interactive Digital Company failed to involve the above two extremely important factors.

  Most importantly, when determining the necessary patent license fee of FRAND standard, the first-instance and second-instance judgments of Huawei v. American Interactive Digital Company considered the above three policy factors, but they were limited to general analysis, and this general analysis was not further applied to the specific analysis of the case. For example, the judgments in the first and second instance of Huawei case did not examine how many standard essential patents existed in WCDMA, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA and other standards involved, how many of these standard essential patents belonged to China standard essential patents, how many of these standard essential patents belonged to American Interactive Digital Company, and what specific standards were involved in the China standard essential patents of Interactive Digital Company. The judgments in the first and second instance of Huawei case also failed to examine the contribution of China standard essential patents of American Interactive Digital Company to relevant specific standards, which products of Huawei used these China standard essential patents of American Interactive Digital Company, and what contribution these standard essential patents of American Interactive Digital Company made to Huawei products. Although it is difficult to investigate and analyze these factors, the courts of first and second instance of Huawei case have to face them because these factors are closely related to whether the patent license fee demanded by American Interactive Digital Company constitutes patent hijacking and patent royalty stacking.

  Different from Huawei’s first-instance and second-instance judgments, Microsoft’s judgment solved the above problems as much as possible despite great difficulties. The Microsoft case first determined that Motorola had the necessary patents in H.264 and 802.11 standards. In order to establish the necessary patent license fee of FRAND standard related to H.264 standard, the Microsoft case first analyzes the development background and technical context of H.264 standard, including the development time of the standard, the technical characteristics and level of the standard itself, patents related to the standard, and Motorola’s contribution in the development and establishment of the standard. Secondly, the contribution of Motorola patent to H.264 standard is analyzed. The Microsoft case first identified six patent families that Motorola is necessary for H.264 standard, and then analyzed the contribution of each patent family to H.264 in detail. Thirdly, the Microsoft case judgment analyzes the contribution of Motorola patents to Microsoft products. The Microsoft case first determines that Microsoft’s products using H.264 include Windows, Xbox, Silverlight, Zune, Lync and Skype, and then reviews the contribution of each patent family of Motorola to each of the above products.

  In order to establish the license fee of FRAND standard essential patents related to the 802.11 standard, the Microsoft case first examines the development history of the standard, and then reviews the relative technical value of different parts of the 802.11 standard, covering the number of all patents of the 802.11 standard, the number of Motorola patents in the 802.11 standard, the number (11) of Microsoft’s use of Motorola 802.11 standard essential patents and products, and the impact of Motorola’s 11 standard essential patents on 8001.

  Third, the economic analysis of FRAND standard essential patent related system

  Next, the specific method of calculating the standard necessary patent license fee is analyzed. In the case of Huawei v. Interactive Digital Corporation of America, neither Huawei as plaintiff nor Interactive Digital Corporation of America as defendant put forward a specific method to calculate the standard and necessary patent license fee in accordance with the FRAND principle. The calculation method adopted in the judgments of first instance and second instance is the comparison method. The so-called comparison method, according to the understanding of the court of second instance of Huawei case, means that the standard essential patent holder should charge the standard essential patent implementer basically the same license fee or adopt basically the same license fee under the condition of basically the same transaction conditions. Under basically the same trading conditions, if the standard essential patentee gives a licensee a lower license fee and gives another licensee a higher license fee, by comparison, the latter has reason to think that it has been discriminated against, so the standard essential patentee violates the promise of non-discriminatory use license. In order to carry out the above comparison method, the first and second judgments of Huawei case selected the standard essential patent license fee granted by American Interactive Digital Company to Apple as the reference object, and therefore determined that the standard essential patent license fee granted by American Interactive Digital Company to Huawei should be roughly the same as that granted to Apple.

  The so-called choice of the standard necessary patent license fee given by Interactive Digital Company to Apple in the first and second judgments of Huawei case is mainly based on the following two aspects of evidence: First, a statistical and analytical report by the world-renowned analysis company STRATEGY ANALYTICS Inc In this report, STRATEGY ANALYTICS Inc counts and analyzes the shipments, market share, net sales and operating income of several famous global mobile phone providers from 2007 to 2012. Nokia, Samsung, Apple, LG Electronics, RIM, Motorola, HTC and Sony are all on its analysis list, but Huawei is not on its analysis list. According to the analysis report and forecast, Apple’s sales from 2007 to 2012 were about $300 billion, and Samsung’s net sales were about $209.751 billion. Second, in the third quarter of 2007, Interactive Digital signed a global, non-transferable, non-exclusive patent licensing agreement with a fixed license fee with a license period of seven years from June 29th, 2007. The licensed patent portfolio covers the then IPHONE and some future mobile phone technologies. In 2009, Interactive Digital signed a patent licensing agreement with Samsung and its subsidiaries.Grant Samsung a non-exclusive fixed patent license fee for terminal equipment and infrastructure under 2G and 3G standards worldwide, with the license period ending in 2012. However, the difference between the licensing agreement signed by American Interactive Digital Company and Samsung Company and the licensing agreement signed with Apple Company is that the former is a voluntary licensing agreement reached through equal consultation, while the latter is a licensing agreement that Samsung Company was forced to sign when American Interactive Digital Company filed a lawsuit. The meaning of the first-instance and second-instance judgments in Huawei case is very obvious. That is to say, the license granted by American Interactive Digital Company to Apple is voluntary, so it conforms to the FRAND principle, while the license granted to Samsung is very likely involuntary, so it does not conform to the FRAND principle. Therefore, the license fee of the former can only be used as a reference for the calculation of the necessary patent license fee of the FRAND standard in this case.

  Although the comparison method is a simple and easy method, it is very necessary to list all the elements of the compared object as much as possible in order to obtain a more reliable comparison conclusion. It is a great pity that although the judgments of the first and second instance of Huawei case put forward the premise of "roughly the same trading conditions", they did not tell people what the "trading conditions" referred to here are and what the "trading conditions are the same" referred to here from the perspectives of evidence and legal reasons. By comparison, the court finally determined that American Interactive Digital Company should pay Huawei the China standard necessary patent license fee. The only possible evidence is that from 2007 to 2012, Apple’s net sales exceeded Huawei’s net sales of mobile phones. However, even so, the standard necessary patent license fee that American Interactive Digital Company hopes to obtain from Huawei in its last offer is calculated according to the sales of Huawei’s final mobile phone products, and the term is from 2009 to 2016. In this way, in order to make a scientific comparison, the courts of first and second instance of Huawei case should at least investigate and estimate Huawei’s net sales from 2009 to 2016, or the net sales from 2007 to 2012 in the same period as Apple. Regrettably, the judgments in the first and second instance of Huawei case did not touch on this issue. Under the condition that the minor premise of comparison and reasoning has not been solved, it is debatable whether the comparison conclusion is scientific or not. Besides,When the courts of first and second instance of Huawei case used the standard necessary patent license fee given to Apple by American Interactive Digital Company as a reference, they did not examine whether the license fee was in line with the core value pursued by FRAND, that is, to promote the entry of valuable technologies and the standard itself was widely adopted. If the answer is no, whether the judgment conclusion obtained by comparison can stand is also a question worthy of further consideration.

  In the case of Microsoft v Motorola, Microsoft, as plaintiff, and Motorola, as defendant, respectively put forward their own methods to calculate the necessary patent license fee of FRAND standard. The method proposed by Microsoft is "Incremental value approach". This method pays attention to the situation before the standard is adopted and implemented. The specific operation method is: in order to calculate the economic value of the patented technology included in the standard, we can compare other alternative technologies that can be included in the standard and calculate the specific value of the alternative technology, so as to obtain the value of the patented technology necessary for the standard. The Microsoft case court did not adopt this method proposed by Microsoft. The reason of the court is that this method is not practical. Even so, the Microsoft case court still held that the FRAND royalty must evaluate the value of the patented technology itself, which needs to consider the importance and contribution of the patent to the standard, so comparing the value of the patented technology with the alternative technology that can be included in the standard by the standardization organization can be used as a reference when determining the FRAND royalty. The method proposed by Motorola is a hypothetical bilateral negotiation method. Motorola claims that the authorization conditions of FRAND can be determined by simulating hypothetical bilateral negotiation under the obligation of FRAND authorization.

  In principle, the Microsoft case adopts the hypothetical bilateral negotiation method, but it has been revised. The reason why the judgment in Microsoft case supports this method is mainly based on the following reasons: the hypothetical negotiation method is supported by authorized negotiation in the real world, and previous courts have made judgments by using this method. In the case of Georgia-Pacific Corp. V. United States Plywood Corp., (318 F. Supp. 1116 (1970)), the court simulated hypothetical bilateral negotiations to determine reasonable royalties through 15 analytical factors, and gained rich experience. When the court simulates a hypothetical bilateral agreement under the obligation of FRAND authorization, it should logically come to the standard necessary patent royalties that both parties consider to be FRAND.

  However, the Microsoft case judgment did not simply copy the 15-factor analysis method proposed by Georgia-Pacifico judgment. The reasons include: First, the standard necessary patentee must grant the patent under the FRAND authorization conditions, while the patentee who has not assumed the same obligation has complete exclusive rights and can choose not to grant the patent. Second, hypothetical negotiation will hardly take place in a vacuum, and standard users will inevitably realize that there are many different essential patentees and their standard essential patents in the standard. Just because they are authorized by a single standard essential patentee does not mean that the standard can be implemented. On the basis of criticizing and absorbing the above two methods put forward by the original defendant, and on the basis of Georgia-Pacific15 analysis factors, the Microsoft case judgment puts forward a revised hypothetical negotiation method. At the same time, on the issue of patent hijacking, the negotiating parties will investigate the reasonable royalty ratio of FRAND authorization commitment according to the contribution of patent technology to standard technical capability and the contribution of standard technical capability to standard users and products using standards. In this way, an essential patent that is extremely important and key to the standard can reasonably require a higher royalty ratio than a less important essential patent. As for the stack of patent fees, the negotiating parties will consider the existence of other standard essential patentees, and each standard essential patentee will claim the patent fee according to the importance of its patent to the standard and the product of the standard implementer, and reach the royalty ratio on this basis. Finally,Under the condition of FRAND commitment, the rational negotiation parties seeking a reasonable royalty ratio will consider the fact that in order to promote the creation of valuable standards, FRAND authorization commitment must ensure that the owner of valuable intellectual property rights obtains a reasonable royalty for the intellectual property rights. Comparatively speaking, Huawei’s judgment basically failed to consider the above analysis factors because it used a relatively simple comparison method, and the rationality of its judgment should be said to have room for further improvement.

  Four, the FRAND standard necessary patent license fee calculation.

  So, how exactly to calculate the necessary patent license fee of FRAND standard? As mentioned above, the judgment of Huawei case simply obtained the necessary patent license fee of FRAND China standard that American Interactive Digital Company can claim from Huawei by comparison method, and did not see the specific calculation process and the logical process in the calculation process, so there is not much to be discussed in depth. Based on the judgment of Microsoft case, this part analyzes the specific calculation of the necessary patent license fee of FRAND standard.

  During the trial of Microsoft case, both Microsoft and Motorola put forward their own calculation methods that can be used as the ratio comparison of FRAND royalties. The calculation method put forward by Motorola is that 2.25% of the net sales price of Microsoft’s products with Motorola’s standard essential patents, Windows and Xbox, should be used as the royalty ratio of Microsoft’s authorization to use the patent portfolio with H.264 and 802.11 standards. In order to support its claim, Motorola cited one of the above analysis factors in Georgia-Pacific case, and put forward three sets of existing patent licensing agreements as established royalties for reference. However, the judgment of Microsoft case did not adopt the comparison method proposed by Motorola, and thought that the authorization agreement proposed by Motorola had no reference value for the FRAND royalty ratio of this case. The reason is that the license agreement proposed by Motorola is a litigation settlement agreement, and the actual royalty paid in some license agreements is far less than the amount requested in this case. The value proportion of standard essential patents in some license agreements cannot be distinguished, and the standard essential patents involved in some license agreements have passed the protection period. At the same time, the Microsoft judgment holds that even if Motorola’s above-mentioned royalty ratio for calculating its standard essential patents is correct, Motorola’s royalty required for its 802.11 standard essential patent portfolio will obviously cause concern about royalty stacking. Accordingly, the Microsoft case decided that,Motorola’s 2.25% royalty rate related to H.264 and 802.11 standards does not conform to the FRAND principle.

  The comparison objects proposed by Microsoft include the practical operation methods of two patent pools, one is MPEG LA H.264 patent pool, and the other is Via Licensing 802.11 patent pool, as well as an authorization agreement and a patent authorization evaluation suggestion. Regarding whether the patent pool of MPEG LA H.264 can be used as a reference for the necessary patent royalty ratio of the FRAND standard in this case, the Microsoft judgment gave a positive answer. The reason for the decision in Microsoft case is that FRAND royalties should be in line with the purpose of promoting the widespread adoption of SSOs standards and attracting a wide range of patentees to put their patents into the patent pool, and MPEG LA H.264 patent pool can just achieve the purpose of SSOs. The evidence in this case shows that, on the one hand, when Microsoft, Motorola and other enterprises created the patent pool of MPEG LA H.264, the royalty ratio set was high enough to attract a considerable number of patentees to put their patents into the patent pool; on the other hand, the royalty ratio set was low enough to ensure that enough standard users were willing to use the patented technology in the H.264 standard instead of alternative technology. This approach coincides with the basic principles of FRAND’s authorization commitment. In addition, the patent pool of MPEG LA H.264 also echoes another basic principle of FRAND’s authorization commitment, that is, to create valuable standard technologies.

  Then, how did the Microsoft case judge calculate the necessary patent fees of FRAND standard related to H.264 standard that Motorola should obtain? According to the Microsoft case, Motorola’s royalty from the patent pool of MPEG LA H.264 includes two parts. Part of it is the appropriate royalty that should be allocated according to the number of patents from the royalties obtained from the patent pool as a member of the patent pool. The other part is the value of Motorola’s unrestricted access to a large number of technologies contained in the patent pool, that is, the royalties that should be obtained from the unrestricted internal cross-licensing of patent pool members, or the identity value of Motorola as a member of the patent pool. Regarding the former part of the royalties, the Microsoft case decided that according to the total amount of royalties obtained from the external license of the MPEG LA H.264 patent pool and the number of standard necessary patents of Motorola in the patent pool, the royalties that Motorola should receive were 0.185 cents for each product of Microsoft. Regarding the latter part of the royalties, that is, the identity value of Motorola as a member of the patent pool of MPEG LA H.264, the only relevant evidence in this case is that after Microsoft joined the patent pool of MPEG LA H.264, the fees paid to the patent pool were twice as much as the royalties obtained from the patent pool, which shows that the reason why Microsoft joined the patent pool is that it pays more attention to its identity as a member of the patent pool than the royalties that can be obtained from the patent pool. Because of this identity,Microsoft can clear all the obstacles of rights and use the patented technology in the patent pool without restriction. In other words, Microsoft believes that the membership of the patent pool of MPEG LA H.264 is at least equivalent to twice the value of its royalties. On this basis, the judgment in the Microsoft case presumes that, in the absence of other obvious evidence, like Microsoft, Google, the parent company of Motorola, also thinks that its membership in the MPEG LA H.264 patent pool is equivalent to providing it with twice the value of the royalties it should get as a licensor. The judgment in the Microsoft case further infers that the sum of the two royalties (0.185+2×0.185) is 0.555 cents, which is the FRAND royalty that Motorola should get from Microsoft for every product that uses Motorola’s standard essential patent. However, this is only the lower limit of FRAND royalty ratio of Motorola’s H.264 standard essential patent portfolio. According to the Microsoft case, in order to prevent the stack of royalties, the upper limit of FRAND royalties must also be calculated. On the basis of comprehensive analysis of all kinds of evidence, the upper limit of Motorola H.264 standard essential patent portfolio rights calculated by Microsoft case is $0.16389 per single product, which is applicable to Microsoft’s Windows and Xbox products.

  With regard to the patent pool of Via Licensing 802.11, although the judgment in Microsoft case noted that it, like the patent pool of MPEG LA H.264, did not distinguish the technical value of patents in the patent pool, but distributed the royalties equally, which led to its failure to attract patentees and standard implementers, and failed to encourage the wide adoption of the standard of Via Licensing 802.11, because of its certain characteristics, the judgment in Microsoft case held that it could still be used as a reference for FRAND royalty ratio. For example, the patent pool of Via Licensing 802.11 mainly focuses on specific standards and covers the same products with the same end use as the disputed products in this case. In addition, the evidence shows that although the actual operation of the patent pool failed to achieve the purpose of promoting the wide adoption of standards, its establishment still followed this purpose, so the royalty ratio it established can still be used to show what kind of royalty ratio is in line with the FRAND principle in specific industrial activities. On this basis, the Microsoft case decided that the patent pool of Via Licensing 802.11 can be used as a reference for the FRAND royalties of Motorola’s 802.11 standard essential patent portfolio. Based on the same reasoning as the H.264 patent pool, the Microsoft case decided that if Motorola participates in the Via Licensing 802.11 patent pool, it can obtain other value equivalent to twice the royalties collected through the patent pool.

  The judgment of Microsoft case holds that the parties to hypothetical negotiation will regard the patent pool of Via Licensing 802.11 as a reference for the necessary patent royalties of the 802.11 standard, and determine the FRAND royalties on this basis. In the Microsoft case, Motorola’s 802.11 standard essential patent has only a small technical value to the 802.11 standard, so in their hypothetical negotiation, Microsoft and Motorola will think that the royalty ratio of 6.114 cents per single product estimated according to the patent pool practice will be higher than the FRAND royalty ratio that Motorola’s 802.11 standard essential patent portfolio should receive.

  During the trial, Microsoft proposed that the royalty rate paid by Marvell Semiconductor,Inc, a third-party company, for its patents in Wi-Fi chip products could be used as a reference for the FRAND royalty rate of the 802.11 standard essential patents in this case. The judgment of Microsoft case holds that the royalty ratio of the third-party company provides "the usual royalty ratio that can be obtained in a specific commercial field" for this case. Therefore, it is held that 1% of the price of each single chip implementing the 802.11 standard, that is, 3 to 4 cents per single chip, can be used as a reference for the royalty ratio of Motorola’s 802.11 standard essential patent portfolio.

  The third reference to the FRAND royalty ratio of Motorola’s 802.11 standard essential patent portfolio determined by the Microsoft case judgment is a patent authorization evaluation model developed by Intercap, Inc. in 2003. The Microsoft case decided that the evaluation method of InterCap,Inc conforms to the basic principle of FRAND authorization commitment, because it considers the value of 802.11 standard technical function to the overall product function and the stacking of royalties, so it can be used as a reference for the appropriate FRAND royalty ratio of 802.11 standard essential patent portfolio. However, the judgment of Microsoft case also holds that the evaluation method of InterCap,Inc exaggerates the importance of Motorola’s standard essential patents to the 802.11 standard, so its appropriateness is impaired. In the hypothetical negotiation between Microsoft and Motorola, although the royalty assessed by InterCap,Inc will be used as a reference for FRAND royalty, the royalty ratio will be adjusted to 0.8 to 1.6 cents per single product.

  According to the above analysis, the judgment of Microsoft case holds that in order to estimate the FRAND royalty ratio, it is reasonable for both parties to hypothetical negotiation to take the average of the above three reference values as the royalty ratio. The specific algorithm is to average the lowest value evaluated by InterCap,Inc at 0.8, and the royalty ratio authorized by Marvel Wi-Fi chips is averaged at the average value within its range of ((3+4)/2)3.5. On this basis, the average value of the three references is calculated to be 3.471 cents ((0.8+3.5+6.114)/3), which is the FRAND royalty ratio reached by Microsoft and Motorola through hypothetical negotiation.

  Considering the stacking of royalties, the Microsoft case decided to adjust the royalty ratio to 19.5 cents per single product based on the high royalty ratio estimated by Microsoft expert witnesses based on the structure of patent pool Via Licensing 802.11, and take it as the upper limit of the FRAND grant range of Motorola 802.11 standard essential patent portfolio. As for the lower limit of the scope of FRAND grant for Motorola’s 802.11 standard essential patent portfolio, the Microsoft case further holds that the lower limit should be the lowest value of standard essential patent that the standard essential patentee will agree to accept after considering the importance of its related patents to the 802.11 standard and standard user products. Considering the limited evidence in this case, the court found that 0.8 US dollars per single product is the lower limit of FRAND royalty.

  To sum up, the FRAND royalty rate set in the Microsoft case judgment is: the FRAND royalty rate of Motorola’s H.264 standard essential patent is 0.555 cents per single product, and the upper limit of the FRAND royalty rate range is 16.389 cents per single product, and the lower limit is 0.555 cents. This royalty ratio and scope apply to Microsoft’s Window and Xbox products, and other Microsoft products using H.264 standard apply to the lower royalty ratio of 0.555 cents. The FRAND royalty rate of Motorola’s 802.11 standard essential patent is 3.471 cents per single product, and the upper limit of the FRAND royalty rate range is 19.5 cents per single product, and the lower limit is 0.8 cents per single product. The royalty rate and scope are applicable to Microsoft’s Xbox products, and other Microsoft products using the 802.11 standard are subject to the lower royalty rate of 0.8 cents.

  [3] The approximate case of Microsoft case is as follows: On October 21 and 29, 2010, Motorola informed Microsoft in writing that the licensing conditions of its 802.11 standard essential patent and H.264 standard essential patent were 2.25% of the final product price of Microsoft. In November, 2010, Microsoft took the initiative to file a lawsuit with the Federal District Court for the Western District of Washington on the grounds that Motorola’s licensing offer violated its RAND authorization commitment to standardization organizations IEEE and ITU.

  The general case of Huawei is as follows: Huawei and American IDC are both members of the European Telecommunications Standardization Organization (ETSI). American IDC claims that it has many standard essential patents in the fields of 2G, 3G, 4G and IEEE802. Huawei acknowledges that these necessary patents of IDC have been incorporated into China wireless communication standards, and its products must meet these standards. From September 2008 to August 2012, IDC sent four written authorization offers to Huawei. In the first and second written offers, IDC hopes to obtain royalties from Huawei from 2009 to 2016, which is equivalent to 100 times that of Apple in the United States and 10 times that of Samsung in South Korea in the same period. In the third written offer, IDC hopes to get 35 times as much royalties from Huawei as IDC gave to Apple in the same period. In the fourth written offer, IDC hopes to get royalties from Huawei, which is equivalent to 19 times that of IDC to Apple in the same period. In these four offers, IDC did not make any distinction between standard essential patents and non-standard essential patents. In the fourth offer, IDC made it clear that rejecting any specific terms of the offer meant rejecting the whole offer. In order to force Huawei to accept its offer authorization conditions, in July and September 2011, IDC filed a complaint and prosecution with the US International Trade Commission and the US District Court Delaware respectively, accusing Huawei’s communication products of infringing its patent rights and demanding a ban.It is forbidden to import and sell Huawei products into the United States. In addition, the analysis report provided by Huawei by STRATEGY ANALYTICS, a famous American data survey and analysis company, shows that the company has analyzed the shipments, market share and net sales of the world’s top mobile phone companies from 2007 to 2012. Nokia, Samsung, Apple, LG, RIM, Motorola, HTC and Sony are on its analysis list, but Huawei has not been able to enter the analysis list. Accordingly, Huawei filed a lawsuit in the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court in December 2011, accusing IDC of violating the FRAND principle in its four offers, and demanding that IDC grant it the necessary patent license in accordance with the FRAND principle.

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: As of January 17th, ibuprofen and acetaminophen have supplied 5.14 billion tablets.

  CCTV News:On January 18th, the State Council held a press conference on the development of industry and informatization in 2022. Tian Yulong, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the meeting that in recent days, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with relevant departments, has implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and under the direct command of the joint prevention and control mechanism, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as the material support group of the joint prevention and control mechanism, will work with member departments and relevant localities to increase medical material support, and make every effort to promote medical and medical enterprises to achieve stable production, expand capacity and expand production, and increase the market of key At present, it has the following characteristics:

  First, do a good job in the production and supply of key medical materials. As for drugs, as of January 17th, ibuprofen and acetaminophen, two key antipyretic and analgesic drugs, have supplied a total of 5.14 billion tablets on the basis of maintaining the capacity of 200 million tablets for 17 consecutive days, which can fully guarantee the demand for drugs. In terms of medical instruments and equipment, with the rising demand for medical resources for intensive care, our department has recently focused its work on "preventing severe illness and ensuring equipment" in time. As of January 17th, the daily output of small molecular antiviral drug azvudine increased by 148% compared with that before New Year’s Day, reaching 744,000 bottles. The daily output level has been greatly improved, which can meet the drug demand of critically ill patients in current medical institutions and the subsequent treatment of critically ill patients, and the drug output and capacity have been greatly improved. At present, the daily output of invasive ventilators is 239% higher than that before New Year’s Day, and the production scale is increasing. At present, it has reached 1808 sets. The daily output of oxygen generator is increased by 280% within 4 days, and the maximum daily output can exceed 20,000 sets. The supply of oxygen generator can meet the basic needs of medical institutions. The daily output of finger-clip oximeter is more than 460,000, which can not only meet the needs of medical institutions, but also provide more and more social services.

  The second is to give priority to ensuring the needs of key areas with accurate delivery. In order to meet the urgent needs of the people, in accordance with the principle of "focusing on key points and accurately putting them into use", we will actively connect with civil affairs, rural areas, education and other departments with relevant departments to accurately provide medical materials for key areas (people) such as pension, rural areas and schools. Since mid-December last year, relying on large-scale e-commerce platforms and local drug protection platforms, we have delivered nearly 136 million copies of drugs, benefiting more than 60 million people. Through the convenience and accessibility of e-commerce, a precise delivery mode has been innovated. At the same time, the "oxygen indicator into the countryside activity" was launched, and two oxygen indicators were equipped for each rural clinic in the country, supplying 1.172 million in four batches. At the same time, through various forms such as corporate donations, more than 10,000 medical oxygen generators have been supplied free of charge to more than 800 poverty-stricken counties across the country, achieving full coverage of more than 10,000 townships in poverty-stricken counties. We have fully guaranteed the demand for key medical materials in the national pension and child welfare institutions proposed by the civil affairs department, and are currently working with the education department to ensure the demand for key medical materials in colleges and universities across the country.

  The third is to work together to unblock the supply channels of medical materials. We will work together with transportation, postal services and other departments to ensure that priority is given to the treatment and delivery of medical materials at the grassroots level, especially in rural and remote areas, and make every effort to get through the "last mile" of distribution. We have also formulated a plan to ensure the smooth logistics of enterprises during the Spring Festival, and made every effort to ensure and reserve the transportation capacity during holidays and the Spring Festival.

  In the next step, our department will continue to make efforts to support the stable production of key medical materials enterprises, strengthen the supply of materials, coordinate the accurate delivery of medical materials, and do a good job of guarantee.

IPhone 16 full-size map released: Pro version significantly increased the history of the screen black edge is the narrowest.

On June 18 th, the iPhone 16 series is already preparing to enter the mass production stage, and more and more accurate information has been released recently.

Blogger Majin Bu recently brought the size map of all four models of iPhone 16.

The specific data are as follows:

IPhone 16: height 147.63mm, width 71.62 and thickness 7.8;

IPhone 16 Plus: height 160.88mm, width 77.75mm and thickness 7.8;

IPhone 16 Pro: height 149.61mm, width 71.45mm and thickness 8.25;

IPhone 16 Pro Max: height 163.03mm, width 77.58mm and thickness 8.25.

For comparison, the iPhone 15 series data are as follows:

IPhone 15: height 147.6mm, width 71.6 and thickness 7.8;

IPhone 15 Plus: height 160.9mm, width 77.8mm and thickness 7.8;

IPhone 15 Pro: height 146mm, width 70.6mm and thickness 8.25;

IPhone 15 Pro Max: height 159.9mm, width 76.7mm and thickness 8.25.

It can be seen that iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus basically maintain the size of the previous generation, but there are some minor measurement errors and rounding.

Compared with the previous generation, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have increased in size, especially in height.

This is mainly due to the upgrade of screen size, and because of the use of brand-new screen technology, the black edge of iPhone 16 Pro is only 1.203mm, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max is only 1.153mm, which has set a new record for the whole industry.

Thanks to this, after upgrading from 6.1/6.5 inches to 6.3/6.7 inches, the sizes of the two have only slightly changed. (Jianjia)

Li Keqiang: Avenue to Jane power is not to be used arbitrarily.

Time:March 5, 2015

Occasion:Government work report

Discourse:Avenue to Jane, power is not to be used arbitrarily. Governments at all levels should establish a powerful mechanism to promote decentralization and change their functions, loosen enterprises, facilitate entrepreneurship and create a level playing field. All administrative examination and approval items should simplify the procedures, define the time limit, and exchange the "subtraction" of government power for the "multiplication" of market vitality. [detailed]


Li Keqiang: Strictly implement the State Council’s "Three Chapters of the Constitution" and slim down power to strengthen the integrity of the government.

Time:March 5, 2015

Occasion:Government work report

Discourse:Conscientiously implement the spirit of the eight provisions of the CPC Central Committee, persistently correct the "four winds" and continue to strictly implement the State Council’s "Three Chapters of the Constitution". A common feature of corruption is power rent-seeking. It is necessary to slim down power to strengthen the integrity of the government, firmly tie up the system fence, resolutely destroy the rent-seeking space, and strive to eradicate the corrupt soil. Strengthen administrative supervision, give play to the role of audit supervision, and strictly supervise public funds, public resources and state-owned assets. Always maintain the anti-corruption and high-pressure situation, and have zero tolerance and strict investigation of corrupt elements. Corruption, whether in leading organs or around the masses, must be severely punished. [detailed]

Li Keqiang: Promote the economy to maintain medium and high-speed growth and move towards the middle and high-end level.

time: March 6, 2015

Occasion:joinShandong(Province)Delegation deliberation

Discourse:To achieve medium and high-speed growth in a long period of time, we must promote economic upgrading and efficiency, and move towards the middle and high-end level. It’s a strategic choice for China’s economic development to build a "double engine" based on the present and long-term perspective. On the one hand, we should encourage people to start businesses and innovate, cultivate new engines, create a "big climate" in which hundreds of millions of people can play their creativity, provide a big platform to promote development by innovation and wisdom, and let thousands of "grassroots" enterprises in Qian Qian break ground and flourish, and support and encourage innovative leading enterprises with strong competitiveness to expand their space. [detailed]


Li Keqiang: Give the market and enterprises more autonomy and let thousands of people in Qian Qian think, do and rush.

Time:March 7, 2015

Occasion:joinJiangsu(Province)Delegation deliberation

Discourse:It is necessary to take the lead in creating new development momentum under the new normal of economic development through reform and opening up. To withstand the current downward pressure on the economy and maintain steady growth, we cannot rely on short-term strong stimulus, but the key lies in reform and opening up. We should continue to strengthen the combination of decentralization and deregulation, give more autonomy to the market and enterprises, and let thousands of people in Qian Qian think, do and venture. [detailed]


Li Keqiang: Undertaking Beijing-Tianjin industrial transfer in an orderly manner and fighting a tough battle against pollution.

Time:March 8, 2015 

Occasion:joinSichuan(Province)Delegation deliberation

Discourse:It is not "one size fits all" to standardize and clean up preferential policies, but to clean up policies that are illegal, unreasonable and form vicious competition. We should implement differentiated policies and measures for the western region, and encourage local governments to proceed from reality and identify and grasp them. [detailed]


Li Keqiang: We can’t let the old workers of state-owned enterprises sweat and cry!

time: March 9, 2015

occasion: participateHeilongjiang ProvinceDelegation deliberation

Discourse:The state will try its best to support the solution of the pension gap of the old workers in state-owned enterprises. Many retired workers have sweated for the development of the Republic, and they must not be allowed to cry again in their later years! Many of our workers worked in state-owned enterprises before retirement and made special contributions to the development of the Republic. Now that they are retired, the state should protect their lives.Especially to ensure that they enjoy a happy old age![detailed]

Li Keqiang: Cutting power is not cutting nails, but cutting wrists. You have to go under the knife if you have to endure the pain.

Time:March 15th, 2015

Occasion:Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of ChinaMeet Chinese and foreign journalists

Discourse:Decentralization is the government’s self-revolution, and cutting power is to touch interests. It is not cutting nails, but cutting wrists. Because decentralization is conducive to clarifying the relationship between the government and the market and stimulating the vitality of the market, it can also be used to withstand the downward pressure of the economy. Last year, China’s economic speed slowed down, but employment increased instead of decreasing, and decentralization played a very important supporting role. [detailed]


Li Keqiang: The door is easy to enter and the face is good, but it is not doing things. This is not for the official.

Time:March 15th, 2015

Occasion:Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of ChinaMeet Chinese and foreign journalists

Discourse:Let power run in the sun and be supervised by the society. Public officials should improve their sense of self-discipline and abuse power for public interests instead of personal gain. In this process, we should not only punish chaos, but also oppose inaction, and it is not allowed to be lazy in politics. If the door is easy to enter and the face is good, it is just not doing things. This is not for the official, and it must be seriously accountable. [detailed]


Li Keqiang: Steady growth and structural adjustment are two eyes. If you work, you can seek the general trend.

Time:March 15th, 2015

Occasion:Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of ChinaMeet Chinese and foreign journalists

Discourse:I don’t deny that China’s economy is facing downward pressure and there are multiple risks. The key lies in finding a balance between steady growth and structural adjustment under the new normal, which reminds me of Go invented by Chinese, which has two eyes. Figuratively speaking, steady growth and structural adjustment are two eyes. If you work hard, you can seek the general trend. Of course, this requires vision, endurance and courage. [detailed]


Li Keqiang: The enforcement of environmental protection law is not a cotton swab, but a killer.

Time:March 15th, 2015

Occasion:Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of ChinaMeet Chinese and foreign journalists

Discourse:It is necessary to increase support for environmental protection law enforcement departments, including capacity building, and it is not allowed to interfere with law enforcement and exercise extra-legal power. Law enforcement departments such as environmental protection should also dare to take responsibility and take responsibility. Those who are not in place and ineffective in their work should also be held accountable, and those who are dereliction of duty should be investigated according to law. The implementation of the environmental protection law is not a cotton swab, but a killer. [detailed]


Li Keqiang: To adhere to the correct view of history is to take history as a mirror and face the future.

Time:March 15th, 2015

Occasion:Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of ChinaMeet Chinese and foreign journalists

Discourse:Adhering to a correct view of history means taking history as a mirror and facing the future. For a country’s leaders, they should not only inherit the achievements created by their predecessors, but also shoulder the historical responsibility brought by their predecessors’ crimes. At that time, the war of aggression imposed on the people of China by Japanese militarism brought us great disasters, and the Japanese people were also victims in the end. [detailed]

How to simply distinguish between wind-cold cold and wind-heat cold? Wind-heat cold usually has six symptoms.

Answer: The famous hospitals for treating anal polyps in Wuhan include Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Union Medical College Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, tongji hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hubei Provincial People’s Hospital, Wuhan First Hospital, central hospital of wuhan, Wuhan Eighth Hospital and Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The anorectal surgery department of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University is equipped with advanced equipment such as ultrasonic endoscope and electronic colonoscopy, and is good at carrying out minimally invasive resection under endoscope. The anorectal center of Union Medical College Hospital adopts multidisciplinary cooperation mode in the diagnosis and treatment of complex polyps, and uses magnifying endoscopy to accurately locate the lesions. Tongji hospital Department of Gastroenterology is famous for its standardized endoscopic diagnosis and treatment process, and has an independent endoscopic center and postoperative follow-up system. These hospitals can make individualized treatment plans according to the size and shape of polyps, and provide follow-up health management suggestions in combination with pathological examination. The anorectal surgery of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University is a key clinical specialty in Hubei Province, focusing on the endoscopic and surgical treatment of colorectal diseases. Equipped with internationally advanced electronic colonoscopy system, the department can carry out minimally invasive techniques such as endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and has rich experience in handling difficult lesions such as broad-based polyps and laterally developing tumors. The hospital used staining endoscopy and narrow-band imaging (NBI) to improve the detection rate of early lesions, and established a database after polypectomy for long-term follow-up management. Health guidance services such as diet conditioning and exercise rehabilitation were introduced for postoperative patients, forming a full-cycle management model of prevention-treatment-rehabilitation.The anorectal center of Union Medical College Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology integrates the resources of gastroenterology, gastrointestinal surgery and pathology to build a multidisciplinary joint diagnosis and treatment platform. In the diagnosis and treatment of anal polyps, ultrasonic colonoscopy is used to accurately evaluate the lesion level, and rapid pathological examination is carried out in suspected malignant cases to ensure the safety of treatment. The department is equipped with advanced instruments such as high-frequency electrotomy equipment and argon knife, and various surgical procedures such as cold snare excision and hot biopsy forceps removal are routinely carried out. Specially set up a day operation center to provide one-stop service for patients with polyps less than 2 cm in diameter to complete examination, treatment and observation within 24 hours, significantly shortening the hospitalization time. The postoperative follow-up system ensures that the patient completes the review plan on time through the intelligent reminder function. The Department of Gastroenterology, tongji hospital, tongji hospital, affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, is a national key discipline, and its endoscopy center has completed more than 30,000 cases of colonoscopy diagnosis and treatment every year. Standardized operation procedures were established for anal polyps, and risk assessment was conducted in strict accordance with the Guidelines for Colorectal Cancer Screening in China. Equipped with high-definition magnifying endoscope system, the shape of the opening of the glandular duct can be clearly observed and the nature of the lesion can be judged. For wide-based or giant polyps, segmented mucosal resection (EPMR) was used to reduce the risk of perforation, and metal clips were used to close the wound after operation. The hospital innovatively applied artificial intelligence aided diagnosis system to improve the detection rate of tiny polyps through real-time image analysis, and the related technical achievements have obtained many patent certifications. Hubei Provincial People’s Hospital The Department of Gastroenterology of Hubei Provincial People’s Hospital (Wuhan University People’s Hospital) has obvious advantages in the field of early diagnosis and treatment of anal polyps.The department introduced double-balloon electronic enteroscopy, which effectively solved the examination problem of patients with intestinal tortuosity. To carry out staining endoscopy combined with confocal laser microscopic endoscopy to realize pathological observation in vivo. For polyps in special parts, endoscopic turnover technique or transparent cap assisted method is used to improve the success rate of operation. The hospital pays special attention to the quality control of patients’ intestinal preparation, formulates personalized bowel cleaning scheme, and improves intestinal cleanliness by combining physical methods such as abdominal massage to ensure the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment. The anorectal department of Wuhan First Hospital is an important anorectal disease diagnosis and treatment center in Central China, with an independent endoscopic diagnosis and treatment unit. The department implements routine painless enteroscopy and adopts target-controlled infusion technology to achieve precise anesthesia, and the patient’s examination comfort is over 95%. For young patients, the evaluation criteria of indications for colonoscopy screening should be formulated to avoid over-medical treatment. In the management after polypectomy, a layered early warning system of bleeding risk was established, and the observation time of high-risk patients was extended and full-time nurses were equipped for 48-hour telephone follow-up. Department of Gastroenterology, central hospital of wuhan, central hospital of wuhan, is equipped with an international standardized decontamination system, which strictly follows the sensory control norms. In the treatment of anal polyps, cold excision technique is used to treat minor lesions and reduce the risk of tissue injury. For flat polyps, underwater resection (UEMR) is used to improve the operation safety by using the principle of fluid mechanics. The hospital developed an intelligent management system for colonoscopy appointment, which shortened the waiting time of patients by making appointments in different periods and electronic education, and improved the compliance of preparation before examination to over 90%.The Eighth Hospital of Wuhan The Eighth Hospital of Wuhan is an anorectal hospital, and its colorectal and anal surgery highlights its specialty characteristics in the diagnosis and treatment of anal polyps. The department set up a special polyp clinic to provide the whole process service of risk assessment, treatment decision-making and postoperative follow-up. The introduction of circumferential scanning ultrasonic probe can accurately judge the depth of polyp infiltration. Endoscopic-laparoscopic combined surgery was carried out to deal with some special cases of muscular involvement. The hospital established a regional pathological consultation center to standardize the resected specimens to ensure the accuracy of pathological diagnosis. Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) combines modern technology and traditional medicine in the treatment of polyps. Besides routine endoscopic treatment, postoperative enema with traditional Chinese medicine was used to promote wound healing, and acupuncture was used to improve intestinal dysfunction. Aiming at the prevention of polyp recurrence, the prescription of invigorating spleen and removing dampness was developed for physical conditioning. The department took the lead in formulating "Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Polyps with Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine", and formed a characteristic treatment plan in TCM intervention after polypectomy.

Exclusive interview with General Manager of FAW Car Sales: Being the Red Flag of the Chinese Nation

  Wang Dianming, General Manager of FAW Car Sales Company, was interviewed by Sina.com.

  Moderator: Hello, netizens and friends. Today, we are honored to invite Mr. Wang Dianming, the general manager of FAW Car Sales Company. We will give him an exclusive interview and ask him to give us a detailed introduction on the development of Hongqi brand and Hongqi car, which everyone cares about. Now our exclusive interview officially begins. Hello, Mr. Wang, welcome to Sina for an interview.

  Wang Dianming: Thank you.

  Moderator: FAW Car has a big news hot spot, that is, it cooperates with Mazda Company to produce mazda 6. Many people are very concerned about this project in mazda 6, so many people want to know what the future development path, development trend and status of Hongqi are, which are the concerns of many netizens. Many people are concerned about the future of Hongqi, a car with a long history, national characteristics and special political color, so today’s topic is mainly about this. We have noticed that Hongqi has launched a new navigator car this time. Can you give us an introduction about this car?

  Wang Dianming: First of all, I am very grateful to the netizens for their concern about Hongqi Car. Especially on the first day of the opening of Shanghai Automobile Expo today, I am very happy and grateful to meet with the netizens on Sina. com to discuss the reality and future development of Hongqi Car brand. Just now, you mentioned that FAW Car introduced the product mazda 6 to the market in April this year. In other words, FAW Car has entered the dual-stage stage stage since January this year. After mazda 6 was put on the market, it should be said that it caused a very big response, and people called it Mazda phenomenon. In this case, people may pay more attention to the red flag.

  As you said, the Red Flag car is a car with political color and a long history in China. People have great expectations for it and have deep feelings, so we are really moved by this. FAW Car, as the birthplace of China car industry and the cradle of China car, ended the history that China couldn’t produce cars in the past, and launched Hongqi Car, which was considered as one of the four largest cars in the world at that time. I think the existence of history puts forward a very important topic and shoulders a great responsibility for us today. This time, we launched a red flag pilot at the exhibition. In fact, we feel that we, as the red flag people of FAW, have made such a car that can reflect the brand image of the red flag as expected by users through our efforts. So we launched this car, which should be said to have attracted a lot of attention at the exhibition. In fact, it embodies the current red flag brand and the responsibility of maintaining the brand. For example, some people describe this car as having several characteristics. First, it is the longest car in China, which is longer than Audi A8 and so on. In addition, the configuration is relatively complete, and the internal configuration, including tri-band VCD, internal configuration and so on, is relatively complete; In addition, it is sold according to the order, not everyone who buys it sells it, but according to the user’s order. I think this should be of great significance to embodying the image of the red flag.

  Moderator: I read the report that this model is 5.8 meters long, which is really long. Now there is such a problem. The price of Hongqi car has been from 150,000 yuan to 160,000 yuan, and the span is very large. This is very rare in the same brand and such a large market price space. So I don’t know the whole brand positioning and market positioning of Hongqi here. How do we grasp it here?

  Wang Dianming: Actually, this is also very simple, that is, FAW Car pursues the concept of customer first and produces our products according to the needs of users. Hongqi car has a specific connotation. In the past, it was an official car, and it went from an official car to ordinary people’s families. From this perspective, most of the people who bought Hongqi cars were elites, successful people, outstanding elements in various fields of life today, or some leaders. We should meet the needs of users in different areas for Hongqi cars.

  Moderator: Can we understand that the Red Flag brand covers three classes, one is high-level, that is, high-end commercial vehicles; Then there is the middle and high-end business car; Then there are some products facing the consumer level?

  Wang Dianming: Probably, this is the architecture system of Hongqi brand. In this architecture system, like Hongqi flagship, the leader, Century Star and Mingshi are all sub-brands in the architecture system. Some of these sub-brands belong to brand builders and some belong to brand users. For example, Hongqi flagship, the leader of Hongqi’s launch this time, is to build Hongqi brand. Through its product technical content, its manufacturing technology and its configuration, For example, Red Flag Century Star and Red Flag Celebrities are sub-brands, which can promote the expansion of its market share through the influence of this big brand to meet some needs of social elites in these two fields.

  Moderator: So, do we have some in-depth considerations on the specific brand segmentation positioning and product segmentation positioning? That is to say, Red Flag is our general brand, so just now it covers a wide range of market segments. In fact, every product has to target its market segments. Are we equal to having a market system created by a brand?

  Wang Dianming: Yes, first, we should pay attention to the influence of Hongqi brand, and we should consider the needs of both high-level people and others. Secondly, from the cultural point of view, from the cultural trend of China, it can reflect these people’s own value in the process of career development and their social status. In addition, it can be added that the brand positioning of Hongqi, because it has independent intellectual property rights, can develop independent products, which shows that Hongqi car has the manufacturing strength and technology development ability to meet the needs of elites in these fields.

  Moderator: The construction of a brand is inseparable from products and services, but almost all automobile products put services in a very important position, so how does Hongqi understand the word service?

  Wang Dianming: I think so. In today’s market, the automobile market is very fierce, and the price competition of products is also very fierce. However, with the continuous development of the automobile market, the competition of products is becoming more and more similar, and the difference is getting smaller and smaller. The price competition is also limited. The profit space of enterprises and the profit in the field of intermediate sales and services are also limited, so it should gradually transition to the competition of services, and the competition of customers is the competition of products. Especially after we joined the WTO last year, it should be said that the requirements in the service field should be in line with international standards. It was also last year that our FAW Car launched a service project and put forward such a requirement of butler service throughout the country.

  Moderator: What is butler service?

  Wang Dianming: Butler service means that users just drive and we will serve. A sublimation of family service and active service is responsible to users. The meaning of the word "housekeeper" means that we should not only think of what the owner has thought, but also think of what the owner has not thought. We regard the user as the owner, and we regard it as the housekeeper. Last year, we opened a service department, and we recruited 50 people with good cultural quality, accounting for one-fifth of the head office. It is rare for any automobile brand to have such a large customer service staff. In addition, we lowered the price and adjusted it moderately. Thirdly, we especially pointed out that the first maintenance was 7,500 kilometers, and the first maintenance was free. Now it is from 750 kilometers to 25,000 kilometers. Every other 7,500 public vehicles will be maintained, from once to four times, and the car will be examined every time. Because the car system in our country has not been implemented, our behavior is the embodiment of being responsible to users. There are also free medical examinations for users to go home, as we did last year. These are all connotations of butler service. The headquarters allocated more than 1 million yuan for free car maintenance. In the past, it always encountered quality problems. In the past, it tried not to compensate when it was possible to compensate, but now it is possible to compensate if it is compensable. This is also the concept of Red Flag.

  Moderator: Hongqi has invested so much in services. What do you think of the relationship between services and products?

  Wang Dianming: With the increasingly fierce market, the competition for services is becoming more and more important. It is also an industry that sells services. If your service is good, there will be more repeat customers, and you will have a market, you will be efficient. Some people say what is an enterprise’s asset? I said that in a certain sense, customers are your assets. Because you have customers, you have a market, and only when you have a market can you have products, and only when you have products can you drive the whole business and production. So we did it in vain. For example, when Czech Leopard Company, a well-known research company in the Asia-Pacific region, surveyed companies in the automobile field in China last year, this company was a very authoritative company, and published some data. Our sales service ranked second among 16 brands, which was not easy. The satisfaction of service among 16 brands rose from 13 to 7, which was a great increase. I think users will recognize you as long as you show care and concern for them.

  Moderator: With the launch of Mazda M6, there is a view that people are not only worried that the brand Hongqi will be put aside, but mainly produces this model of mazda 6. Many people are not clear about the development trend of Hongqi, but are very concerned about it. So, as a domestic brand with decades of history, what plans and ideas does Hongqi have for sustainable development?

  Wang Dianming: This question is very realistic. First of all, I need to be clear about the FAW people. FAW broke ground in 53 years and was completed and put into production in 56 years. This July is 50 years. What is the value of the long and short historical process that FAW has gone through in the past 50 years? The first is to liberate the brand; The second is the red flag brand. The value of FAW is Jiefang brand, Hongqi brand, and the value of FAW people is also Hongqi brand and Jiefang brand. The reason why FAW can negotiate with international multinational companies on an equal footing in the extremely fierce market competition lies in the value of Hongqi brand and Jiefang brand. Therefore, Hongqi brand and Jiefang brand are the roots of FAW, and we can’t lose our roots in anything we do, and we can’t forget the value that Hongqi brand and Jiefang brand bring to FAW.

  FAW Car cooperated with Japanese Mazda Company to produce mazda 6. It should be said that this is a normal manifestation of technical cooperation between multinational companies, such as internationalization of domestic market and economic globalization after China’s entry into WTO. We also want to continuously improve, expand and supplement the technology of FAW Car through the launch of this product with mazda 6 and cooperation with Japanese Mazda Company. We want to produce Hongqi Car, but we don’t rule out producing other brands of cars. And in the process of cooperation, we can complement each other in many ways. For example, some of their advanced production technologies, advanced management platforms and advanced management ideas, as well as our joint cooperation with them and the introduction of new marketing ideas in combination with the actual situation in China, of course, learning from the introduction of some of their technical platforms is not excluded here. Therefore, according to the idea that FAW Car, a national brand, is open to development, and we should learn from others, this kind of economic and technical cooperation should be normal, and it will not affect the future development of Hongqi brand.

  Moderator: In your talk just now, the word technology was mentioned many times. Yes, technology is now emphasized as a very core issue in China automobile industry. I think the same technical issue is also a core issue that Hongqi must deal with well. Then, can you tell us what considerations Hongqi has in technology development and technology application?

  Wang Dianming: This issue should be a comprehensive factor. The production technology covers a wide range, but I can generally say that China car has gone for 45 years, so Red Flag car has developed from scratch to now, and the whole technical content has been greatly improved. In the past, everyone knew that the red flag car was a car knocked out manually, but people were driving a big red flag. Indeed, according to the requirements of the current technology, we still have a certain gap, but after all, it represents the car made in that era, and it was a very advanced car at that time. So now we have launched a series of products, such as Little Red Flag Car and Century Star, whose technical platform has been greatly improved, because its manufacturing platform is the platform of Audi 100, which was also relatively advanced at the time of research and development. It is precisely because of this platform that we can develop the original Red Flag Celebrities Series, Century Star Series and Polar Star Series. We will speed up cooperation with international companies and introduce higher technology. And I think this work is in the midst of intense work. I tell you, it will keep some genes of many people’s imagined big red flag, and keep its genes. We will make the recognition of FAW Hongqi sedan and the recognition of its brand value by the majority of users get rich returns.

  Moderator: This is really good news for the vast number of users. Let’s go back to the cooperation project with Mazda. Is it due to the consideration of capital operation and whether there are any factors in this regard? It is the introduction of foreign models to achieve good sales performance to obtain more funds, which also involves the issue of capital operation.

  Wang Dianming: This question is answered from two aspects. The operating performance of the First Hongqi sedan in the past two years is also excellent. It is not that the market image of Hongqi sedan is not good and the market performance is not good, but it is good. For example, last year, we made three breakthroughs. To put it bluntly, we set a historical record, with the highest sales record reaching more than 26,600 cars. Hongqi cars never exceeded 20,000 cars. It was very, very difficult to achieve this achievement last year. In the first quarter of this year, we broke through the first quarter of the same period every three months, and sold more than 7,800 cars in the first quarter of this year. It is easy to break through 30,000 cars this year according to this progress. However, we don’t just pursue numbers, but do a good job in pre-sale and after-sale services. At present, Hongqi sedan has a very good evaluation in the industry, and everyone can see our performance from last year’s bulletin (because FAW is a listed company). Mazda, as I said just now, is a supplement to Hongqi car.

  Moderator: As a listed company, what about FAW’s stock?

  Wang Dianming: Yes, it rose from more than 4 yuan to more than 10 yuan.

  Moderator: First of all, congratulations.

  Wang Dianming: I am very happy to see the stock climb. Why? In recent years, the requirements of the securities market have become more and more strict, which is well known to all. The requirements have become more and more strict and the operation has become more and more standardized, that is, the operation of the securities and stock markets has become more and more in line with the laws of China’s market economy.

  Moderator: And it is becoming more and more standardized.

  Wang Dianming: It is becoming more and more standardized. In this case, the stock of FAW keeps rising, which I believe is not only a good thing, but also the vast number of users and consumers are full of confidence in the future when they see the performance of FAW.

  Moderator: It is good news for investors and potential buyers of FAW.

  Wang Dianming: That is, they have seen the reality of FAW Car and are full of confidence in the future. I always feel that we should trust the judgment of investors, because they have been tossing and turning over these years, and they are getting smarter and smarter, and their judgment on the market is getting closer and closer to the market.

  Moderator: We just talked about Hongqi’s market strategy, Hongqi’s products, talents accumulated by Hongqi, business philosophy and service concept, as well as platform, technology, capital and capital operation. So, among these many operational elements, what is the core competitiveness of FAW Car as an enterprise?

  Wang Dianming: When it comes to the core competitiveness of enterprises, it should be said that it is also a major factor, including development, platform, manufacturing, technology, human resources, system management, including system capabilities, and services.

  Moderator: It is a comprehensive system combining software and hardware.

  Wang Dianming: But I think with the development of car economy, brand should be the core factor of many factors. There are certain differences between Hongqi brand and other brands. There is no doubt that there are commonness and individuality between brands. Hongqi car has always been regarded as a car for national leaders and a car for citizens. Then when we develop, build and use this brand, we should also consider that it is the backbone and social elite in social and economic life, and these leaders equip them with cars, so brand building is very important. To this end, we have also done a lot of work, such as just now we said to launch the leader and expand the market share, because these aspects are complementary to each other. I want to have the image of the market, the image of the brand, and the market share at the same time. They are mutually supportive. For example, in order to build this brand, we launched the flagship, which is the builder of the brand, the leader of the red flag, and also the builder of the brand. Then we also launched the Red Flag World from 2000. The first generation of Mingshi, the second generation of Mingshi, and the third generation of Mingshi, including the son of Red Flag Century Star 2.4 Jufeng in March, and we will launch upgraded and improved products one after another in June. We have been working hard for the brand Hongqi and building the core content of enterprise competitiveness.

  Compere: The core competitiveness of an enterprise will ultimately be reflected in its products. Finally, I would like to ask you to talk about what new products will be launched by Hongqi in the future and what kind of plans are there for new product development, which are also of great concern to the users and consumers of Hongqi.

  Wang Dianming: It can be said that we are stepping up our work on the planning of Hongqi products.

  Moderator: Can you give us some information?

  Wang Dianming: As we have said before, we are developing a car with red flag DNA that is more in line with the needs of the red flag group, and this research and development is in progress. At present, we are also constantly meeting the needs of users. For example, we launched three models of celebrities and the son of Jufeng this year, and we will soon launch the Red Flag Pilot, as well as other products. For example, we have also launched other products to give you a message and confidence that FAW Hongqi people will not live up to the expectations of netizens and users, and we will constantly improve our product series and launch new products with the fastest speed.

  Moderator: Thank you. I think the vast number of netizens will definitely have more understanding and knowledge of Hongqi Car, Hongqi Car and FAW Car when they see our exclusive interview with you, and at the same time, they will also strengthen their confidence in national brands and national brands in the automobile industry.

  Wang Dianming: I hope that our automobile manufacturers, sales fields and users will care about national brands together. I think the red flag is not only the red flag of our FAW, but also the red flag of the Chinese nation, users and netizens.

  Moderator: Thank you, thank you for accepting our interview.
