Invention patents have sold millions and billions.

2 1 century, with the rapid development of economy and technology, we can also see that many things in society are constantly improving, and those who can't keep up with the times will eventually be eliminated. It must be said that the human society in 2 1 century has reached an unprecedented peak. In a word, come on. Our internet speed is getting faster and faster, and our travel is getting faster and faster. Mankind has never stopped on the road of development. On this road of development, many people will not keep up with the pace. For example, we used to like shopping in physical stores. Now the development of e-commerce platform allows each of us to buy what we want as long as we surf the Internet at home, which has greatly impacted some real economies. Today we are going to talk about the elimination of technology, that is, the China guy who invented the USB flash drive and made more than one billion dollars. But what happened after the patent of USB flash drive expired?

The China people who invented USB flash drive were young people named Deng Fushun and Chen Xiaohua, both of whom came from Hunan. They 1999 lived together in Shenzhen when they went out to work. That is, in a small room like Shenzhen, they created an invention that shocked the world at that time-U disk.

At the end of the 20th century, the network was not so developed and the storage space was not so large and convenient. At that time, the most important way to store information was to use floppy disks. However, the amount of information stored on floppy disks is limited and needs to be constantly updated. Even so, all over the world can only choose this difficult storage method, but the USB flash drive invented by those two boys broke this situation. After this USB flash drive was invented, they took it to China International Hi-tech Fair. At that time, it was the first more efficient processing method in the world than floppy disk storage, so they also obtained the patent of U disk in 1999.

After obtaining the patent, the two boys wanted to continue their development, so they founded Netac Technology Co., Ltd. with their partner Shen. At that time, the country also strongly supported Netac Technology Co., Ltd. Since then, the company has been committed to mobile storage and wireless communication. In the years when USB flash drives were very popular, Netac's technology development prospects were very good. In 2003, Netac Technology Co., Ltd. also found that Sony and other companies infringed its U disk patent, so they took Sony and other companies to court and succeeded.

However, in 20 13, after several years of rapid development, Netac Technology began to decline, so they decided to spend 200 million yuan to build Netac Building in Shenzhen. At that time, their company's main sources of income were the patent fee of U disk and the rental fee of Netac Building. It can be said that the real turnover of Netac Technology Co., Ltd. is very limited. Now in 2020, Netac Building can still be rented, but the patent of U disk will expire on 20191014. In other words, Netac Technology Co., Ltd. can no longer rely on the cost of this patent. With the development of the present era, U disk has gradually withdrawn from people's field of vision.

However, Netac Technology Co., Ltd. is still in operation, and their management also said that they would strengthen the company's innovation ability and scientific and technological ability, and strive to create greater glories in the future. What do you think of this?
