Gree Electric, Midea Electric Appliance, is a big one in China. In fact, everyone knows a lot about electrical appliances companies, especially their air conditioners and some smart homes, which are very famous. If you buy them, you will also buy these two brands. It was recently quarantined, and a patent for one of their refrigerators was announced. In our consciousness, the patents of some enterprises are usually not disclosed because they make money from this patent, but today Gree disclosed their patents. Everyone in Dong Mingzhu should know him, that is, the boss of Gree. In fact, many of us know Gree through Dong Mingzhu, and he also has a classic line that Gree creates core technology. Indeed, many of Gree's core technologies are independently created, rather than being authorized by other companies like other industries. In particular, Gree's air conditioners are particularly famous in the industry, and they can continue to operate under very harsh conditions, and they have also been liked and recognized by consumers. We can see the details of this patent on many technical websites and news. In fact, many people don't understand why companies should disclose patents. Especially technical patents like this. In fact, before the patent was announced, Huawei also announced one of their fast charging patents. Usually, many patents for fast charging used by domestic mobile phone manufacturers belong to Qualcomm. Using other people's patents requires paying expensive patent fees. Therefore, there are actually two speculations about Gree's public patent. 1 Gree thinks that many refrigerators in China are badly made. He hopes to share his experience in manufacturing refrigerators and improve the overall technical level of China through his own patent authorization. Of course, this is an idealized view. The second point is that he already has a better patent. He made this old patent public, hoping that other manufacturers would use this patent to produce refrigerators, and then use later new patents to produce their own refrigerators, thus forming a difference in quality, which led many consumers to buy refrigerators with new patents. This is a small business scam.
In fact, many people can guess these two views, but many experts don't express them. For consumers, it actually has no impact, but for some start-ups, it is actually a very good opportunity, because you can use Gree's core technology to make your own refrigerator for free, which can promote the development of your own enterprise to a certain extent. We also hope that Gree will not make the first guess. Make your own contribution to society.
