Chapter 103 Patent

Locke calmed down, suppressing his slightly excited mood. “First, we need to refine the memory ointment again to see if we can replicate it.”

“Secondly, I need to add an ‘anti-theft mechanism’ to my memory ointment.” Locke pondered. “According to Teacher Sophia, I can add some completely useless herbs to the memory ointment, making it difficult for potion masters to decipher it for a long time and unable to distinguish which one is the active ingredient.”

The main thing is to reverse engineer the formula. First, you need to figure out the specific potion formula, and second, you need to know the specific magic flame operations.

As long as Locke adds some ineffective herbs to the memory ointment to mislead others, it will be enough to make it difficult for many alchemist assistants to get started.

Of course, Locke can also take the memory ointment and several magical plants he developed before to the White Wizard Association to apply for the status of inventor, but there is a problem with this. In this case, he needs to publish the formula so that he can apply for a patent.

Because others need to repeat the authentication to confirm that it is authentic.

So generally speaking, applying for a patent is equivalent to publishing it and exchanging actual benefits for reputation.

The Southeast Corner Region has not yet established a complete usage rights payment system for patent use. Even if it is established, it will be useless because after the White Wizard Association publishes the formula, the difficulty of piracy will become very low.

It is easy to happen that there are a lot of pirated products on the market.

Therefore, wizards in the southeast corner generally do this: they do not apply for patents first, but use these products to make money directly. When they reach a certain level and no longer need to rely on these things, they will apply for patents and publish the formulas.

In this way, the formula will be recorded by the White Wizard Association as a knowledge inheritance, and there will be no need to worry about the formula completely disappearing with the death of the inventor.

There are many amazing inventions in the dark wizard society, but because there is no patent inheritance system, the inventors refuse to publish their inventions, which results in no one inheriting their amazing inventions after their deaths.

At the same time, many talented people will emerge and repeat their inventions again and again, seriously delaying the progress of society’s magic research.

Therefore, Locke believes that the patent system established by the White Wizard Association is still very reasonable.

After becoming an official wizard, I can also publish the magic plant I discovered before and the current memory ointment formula and apply for a patent.

But it’s not needed now.

If it is announced, you will not make much money and you will need to share your original monopoly market with others.

The Tivrogen vines sold in stores everywhere now are all cultivated by breeders from all over the country according to public breeding technology manuals. They have no connection with the first-ring wizard who developed the Tivrogen vines in the first place.

After all, once you make the formula public, there are a ton of ways to get it and circumvent the system of paying for patents.

That’s why Locke didn’t bother to register a patent.

Apprentice-level potions and magical plants are not worth the effort of a formal wizard to reverse engineer. First, the difficulty of cracking them is very high. Second, there is no profit to be made after cracking them. Third, it is a loss of face.

Secondly, it will waste their research time.

Unless there is some special purpose, I basically don’t think about it.

Apprentice-level wizards were confused for a long time by Locke’s various anti-theft measures and found it basically impossible to crack them.

This is also the advice that Witch Sophia gave to herself.

Locke looked at a palm lotus that was taken out from the Rubik’s Cube. The palm lotus was red all over, like a red agate carving, and its color was crystal clear, like a crystal lotus.

At the same time, its lotus petals contain violent fire elements, but they are currently fixed by the special structure of the palm lotus’s wood element, temporarily forming a stable state and preventing further loss of control.

This is the level 7 palm fire lotus, the crystal palm fire lotus.

Locke looked at its entry—

A Level 7 synthetic item, a special variety cultivated through the combined methods of Magical Co-Frequency Cultivation and Crossbreeding. Due to the effects of directional mutation, the fire element contained within this Palm Fire Lotus has tripled. Due to the unique phenomenon of wood elemental fiber crystallization, the Palm Fire Lotus can absorb even more fire element and is more stable than ordinary Palm Fire Lotuses, preventing them from easily exploding during transportation.

The best resonant frequency is a mixed magic pressure of 1200hz, 100hz and 40hz – the frequency of mana exchange.

The specific operation is: first use 1200hz continuous directional radiation for 10 days, then use 100hz irradiation for one hour, then use 40hz irradiation for three hours, and then use the three magic frequencies to resonate at the same time, and directional radiation for 19 days.

After one month, a specific variety of palm fire lotus can be cultivated. At this time, hybridization breeding method is used to optimize the variety again to obtain crystal palm fire lotus.

After reading this entry, Locke suddenly had a sudden realization. “Finding the optimal resonant frequency for the Magical Frequency Cultivation Method is surprisingly complex.”

“The optimal resonance frequency for a Level 7 Magic Plant concept is difficult to achieve by luck alone. There are also specific requirements for the three resonance frequencies and exposure times. Even if some breeders are close to the right path, if they doubt themselves even a little, they will completely miss the target.”

Locke pondered, “Breeders all make inferences based on the basic characteristics of the magic plant and the existing optimal resonance frequencies of similar magic plants, narrowing the range of the optimal resonance frequency to find the optimal resonance frequency.”

“But I can use the synthetic Rubik’s Cube to get the result first, obtain the resonant frequency formula, and then practice the magic resonant frequency cultivation method from the beginning. Then, I can use the memory ointment to increase my learning efficiency.” Locke thought: “This way, the day when I pass the breeder certificate will be much earlier than I expected.”

Locke looked at the two synthesized items in front of him and began to think. “First, we need to quickly develop ten acres of Crystal Palm Fire Lotus and begin mass planting. Second, we need to outline our general plan. Unlike applying for a patent, I don’t need to disclose all the details; I only need to outline the general plan.”

“And then go compete.”

“Secondly, I can start trying to open my own pharmacy.”

Although there is a certain risk of exposing the cultivation process of the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus, the benefits of the competition outweigh the risks.

After all, you still need to produce your work, participate in competitions, and win honors. Only people who are completely isolated from the world can completely guarantee that the manufacturing process of their work will not be leaked.

Then you don’t even have to sell it yourself.

At worst, I can create some new synthetic magic plants later.
