"Objection!" the plaintiff's lawyer said loudly, "the defendant's lawyer's so-called opinions are just inferences without any evidence. The so-called Internet is not developed, the so-called plaintiff has never been to Beiwen Country, and the so-called fashion magazine sales are not good. These are all It is a theoretical reasoning, but it cannot be fully explained. The defendant has not seen this magazine or this design! Even if the fashion magazine only sells one copy, the defendant may have seen this magazine as long as it appears in public. Everything is possible. And this kind of left-right view can never be used as a basis in court!"
The judge nodded, "The objection is valid. There is a certain basis for the defendant's reasoning, but there are still loopholes that can be exploited, and it cannot be submitted to the court for notarization. Please ask the defendant's lawyer to re-submit the evidence of non-plagiarism!"
The defendant¡¯s lawyer nodded, ¡°Yes.¡±
Xu Shiqing smiled brightly.
Plagiarism is an ironclad fact. The more Bessie tries to quibble, the more embarrassed she will be!
¡°I still have questions to ask the plaintiff.¡±
"allow."
The defendant's lawyer faced Xu Shiqing and said, "Ms. Xu, this magazine was published 8 years ago, and the company went bankrupt 5 years ago. This magazine has been extinct since then, and the reason why Ms. Xu still has this magazine is , just because of deliberate collection, if not deliberate collection, doesn¡¯t it mean that this magazine will never be seen again!¡±
"Even if it was published 8 years ago, even if the company went bankrupt 5 years ago, once the magazine is published, it will circulate in the market. If it circulates, it may appear anywhere, and it may appear in front of Bessie!" Xu Shiqing said fiercely! He said, "For designers, even if they just glance at it, they can copy it and they will never forget it for a long time."
"What Ms. Xu means is that my client saw your design eight years ago and has always kept it in mind. It was only designed in recent years, right?" asked the defendant's lawyer.
"I'm just guessing." Xu Shiqing said, "As for when she read it and used it for plagiarism, only she knows."
The defense lawyer nodded.
He turned to face the judge and asked, "Your Honor, I would like to ask, is it possible that the magazines from the trip 8 years ago can still be seen now?"
¡°It¡¯s not big. But that doesn¡¯t mean you can¡¯t see it.¡± The judge replied directly.
"We searched for relevant information about the magazine and Miss Phantom's original design through real-time search on the Internet. In addition to the magazine design drawings that Phantom revealed that Bessie plagiarized and posted on her social platform, , no content about this magazine can be found on the Internet, which is enough to show that this magazine is only circulated in paper and does not exist on the Internet." The defendant's lawyer respectfully handed over the evidence he prepared, "Your Majesty, please Take a look."
The jury examines the evidence.
The judge said, "The Internet is not the only way of dissemination. It can only be used as the basis for your argument, but it is not enough to prove that the defendant has not seen this magazine."
"Of course." The defendant's lawyer nodded, "I have a second piece of evidence. Please allow my witness to appear in court, your honor."
"allow."
A middle-aged man appeared in court.
The defendant¡¯s lawyer asked, ¡°Who are you and what is your name?¡±
¡°My name is Ai Jianan, the former director of Shuiwen Magazine.¡± The man answered.
"Did you use this magazine when you were traveling?" the defendant's lawyer asked.
"yes."
"How were sales at that time?"
"It's not good." Ai Jianan said, "8 years of fashion magazines are not popular, and readers prefer to read emotional magazines. Magazines like ours that specialize in fashion are going bankrupt one after another, and we are no exception. 5 It declared bankruptcy years ago.¡±
"Then do you still remember the sales of this magazine at that time?"
"What we say to the outside world is that 2,000 copies were issued. In fact, no more than 500 copies are actually circulating in the market." Ai Jianan said, "The rest are digested internally by us, and some are even directly used for scrapping. Recycle."
"Do you remember what happened eight years ago so clearly?" the defendant's lawyer confirmed.
"Of course I know that the sales volume of this magazine is the lowest sales volume of a quarterly issue in the history of my water pattern magazine. It was also from this issue that we realized that the market for fashion magazines is getting smaller and smaller. Although we persisted in doing it for three years , it¡¯s just faith.¡±
"Then this magazine is not selling well externally. Has it caused any sparks in the internal industry?" the defendant's lawyer continued to ask.
"No, none of the designs of this magazine were optimistic at that time. It didn't even take a hit after it was released, and then it sank again." Ai Jianan said,?The fashion trends and aesthetics at that time had not reached the point where they are now. Now it seems that the Angel series designed by Phantom is indeed super trendy! "
Phantom was praised by Director Sudden and began to smile proudly again.
"From Mr. Ai's answer, it is certain that the actual sales volume of this magazine at that time was only 500 copies, and no one in the industry paid attention to the design of this magazine. It can be said that it sank as soon as it was released."
"You can say that." Ai Jianan nodded, "Now that I see the Angel series selling so well, I feel that our water patterns were not worth it back then."
"In Mr. Ai's professional opinion, do you think the designs of Angel and Phantom are plagiarized?"
"Yes, 100% plagiarism." Ai Jianan was sure. "I have been designing for many years. Based on my experience, two such similar works cannot have such a large area of ??similarity except for plagiarism."
As soon as Ai Jianan¡¯s words came out.
Xu Shiqing and his lawyer couldn't help laughing sarcastically.
I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s something wrong with the defendant¡¯s lawyer.
¡°Isn¡¯t this just picking a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?¡± !
¡°It¡¯s simply bringing trouble to one¡¯s client.
The people in the audience naturally felt the same way.
Xia Qiqi became a little angry, "Is this lawyer professional? Has he been bribed by this woman Xu Shiqing?!"
"Look down." Xiao Nanchen reminded Xia Qiqi to be quiet.
Xia Qiqi endured it and chose silence.
The defense lawyer continued to ask, "I just want to get answers from professionals. Finally, I want to ask Mr. Ai a question."
"Okay." Ai Jianan replied.
"Based on Mr. Ai's experience, how long will it take for this magazine to disappear from the market and not be seen by anyone." The defendant's lawyer said.
"At most half a year." Ai Jianan said with certainty. "First, the sales volume is very small. Second, it has not caused any splash in the industry. It is the limit to persist for half a year. It is possible that this magazine will be completely destroyed in less than three months." disappear from the market, after all, magazines are updated quickly, and design trends change quickly."
"That is to say, this magazine can be circulated in the market for up to half a year."
"Yes." Ai Jianan replied.
"And if my client is plagiarizing, then it must have been seen within the past six months." The plaintiff's lawyer made it clear. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
