Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Kyoto University, Academic Affairs Building, 6th Floor Conference Room.

The conference room itself is not big, with a rectangular conference table placed in the center of the room. Both sides of the conference table are already filled with the most prominent figures in the university. From university directors to deans of various departments,

The presidents of the university's administrative committees, as well as some famous professors, were present on both sides of the long table.

A female executive next to her carefully served tea and water to the big shots sitting on both sides of the conference table, fearing that there would be some mistakes in her movements.

Utsunomiya is also sitting at this conference table. At this moment, he feels a little troubled. Because today's meeting is related to him, it is the report and explanation about Fujimura's copyright lawsuit. Utsunomiya's fingers are quite impatient.

He knocked on the table and crossed his legs from time to time.

Especially when he had to squeeze in among the big shots in the school, he felt even more depressed.

Although Utsunomiya himself is indeed a great scholar and authority in intellectual property law, he does not hold any administrative positions in the university, and after becoming a professor, he has no intention of climbing to the higher position of chief professor.

Therefore, from the perspective of status within the university, he is far inferior to the vast majority of people present.

It seemed that because the host of the meeting had not yet arrived, the entire room, which was decorated in a classical and exquisite style, gradually began to permeate with an anxious atmosphere.

The people present were constantly whispering and making low-pitched discussions.

Suddenly, there was a "click, click" sound of leather shoes. The sound of the soles hitting the ground somehow had the power to penetrate everyone's comments and radiate to everyone's eardrums.

Immediately afterwards, a female administrator spoke nervously: "Vice Principal Takeuchi is here!"

In an instant, the dignitaries on both sides of the long table stood up in unison. To outsiders, these figures, who seemed to be high-ranking figures or famous professors, were actually obeying orders like soldiers.

Utsunomiya was coerced and had to stand up. This famous professor of intellectual property law was also a part-time lawyer after all. Therefore, he had more or less the free and uninhibited temperament unique to the lawyer profession. Utsunomiya naturally

I also hate this kind of meaningless formalism.

At the corner of the door, a figure walked out slowly. He was tall, wearing a suit with vertical stripes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. However, the gaze under the lenses seemed to have the power to hurt people. He

His face is serious and majestic, just like an ancient Greek god statue, exuding an extremely strong sense of oppression as soon as he appears.

The man in front of him is none other than Takeuchi, the controversial vice-president of Kyoto University.

With the arrival of Takeuchi, everyone present seemed to be afraid to even show their dignity, and they all sat upright.

After Takeuchi took the seat, a secretary next to him stood up and introduced, "Vice principal. The theme of today's meeting is a report on the case of Fujimura's copyright dispute and the disciplinary measures to be taken against Fujimura. We will first discuss the situation here.

A professional legal attorney will give a brief report on the overall situation of the case. If there is anything you don’t understand, Professor Utsunomiya from the Faculty of Law will provide additional explanations.”

"After reporting on the plagiarism case of Tengcun's ancient books, this meeting will formally deal with Tengcun. The above is the agenda of this meeting."

Takeuchi nodded slightly and signaled the meeting to begin. The tension in the air became more intense. Because everyone present knew that Fujimura was Takeuchi's most valued confidant. It was precisely because of the establishment of Fujimura's Department of Humanities that he

With help from the vote, Takeuchi was able to successfully assume the position of vice principal.

A legal officer attended the briefing and reported: "Vice President, regarding the Fujimura case, I would like to briefly report as follows..."

This highly professional legal officer began to report, but after only reporting for less than 3 minutes, Takeuchi waved his hand and interrupted:

"You don't need to talk to me about these details. I just want to understand the key issues. I would like to ask Professor Utsunomiya to give me a special explanation."

This extremely shocking voice instantly made the experienced legal officer speechless, not knowing what to say to ease the embarrassment.

Seeing that the vice-principal ordered him, and finally couldn't run away, Utsunomiya frowned and said immediately, "Excuse me, what issues does the vice-principal need to know?"

Takeuchi picked up the tea cup next to him and took a sip, his eyes became sharp, "I just want to clarify one question. Whether it is possible to conclude that there is academic misconduct in Fujimura just based on the court's judgment. My own academic research process,

The results of the paper will also be transformed into patents, utility models and other results.”

"According to my understanding of intellectual property law, the so-called plagiarism in copyright is not the same as academic plagiarism."

"The vice-principal is right, indeed." Utsunomiya replied, "The so-called plagiarism in copyright law is actually a presumptive infringement. In other words, as long as there is the possibility that Fujimura has access to Shimokawa Nodoka's works,

sex, then the infringement will be deemed established."

"Of course, in general academic misconduct investigations, we usually do not discuss the issue because the plagiarized papers are often already published papers. Therefore, there is no dispute on this point. However,

,The special feature of this case lies precisely in the fact that Shimokawa’s proofreading has not yet been published publicly.”

"Therefore, for plagiarism determination involving unpublished academic works, I am afraid that the principle of presumptive infringement of copyright law cannot be directly copied. More careful and solid evidence is required to confirm it."

Takeuchi listened to Utsunomiya's words and fell into deep thought for a while. After a while, he immediately said, "Or to be more direct. Plagiarism is recognized in the copyright law, which does not mean that we can deal with Fujimura based on the court's judgment.

."

"Vice President. I think these are two different issues. Determining whether there is plagiarism is a technical issue. But whether to deal with Fujimura is a decision-making issue for the university. Decision-making issues and technical issues are two different categories.

Consider. In other words, if the university wants to deal with Fujimura, it does not need to stick to just one point of plagiarism. It can completely launch an investigation into Fujimura’s other potential violations," Utsunomiya replied.

"But the problem is, if plagiarism cannot be determined, how can we have the key basis for handling it." Takeuchi replied in a deep voice. The vice principal's sense of oppression was so strong that many people took out their handkerchiefs and slightly shook their heads.

Wipe sweat.

At this time, a school director at the conference table seemed to have noticed what the vice president wanted to do, and he couldn't help but immediately said: "No matter what, Fujimura has caused serious negative impact on the university. It must be severely punished to restore it."

The reputation of our university.”

Takeuchi looked at the school director and said coldly, "I don't want to repeat what I said. If there is no basis for determining academic misconduct, then we cannot impose excessive punishment."

As soon as these words were said, most of the people present knew that Takeuchi wanted to protect Fuji Village. After all, this was an ally of Tie Piaocang. Takeuchi would never abandon him. In other words, Takeuchi wanted others to know that as long as he was loyal

If the ground supports him, he will also hold up a protective umbrella.

Utsunomiya clasped his hands and leaned back on the chair. He knew that in this meeting, he was a prop. A prop that had been used to defend the views of a certain big shot.

This feeling is really a bit annoying.

Immediately, Takeuchi spoke again: "This is my opinion. Fujimura will be deprived of all administrative positions. His professional title will remain unchanged, but his salary will be lowered. His personnel relations will be transferred out of Kyoto University and transferred to a cultural history research institution established by the university in Hokkaido.

.”

Takeuchi's voice fell in the conference room.

As soon as these words came out, many people here changed their expressions. The lawsuit was so big, but Fujimura was still able to live a stable life as a researcher in a research institution. This was simply too cheap for him.

When the school director who objected just now heard this handling method, he immediately shook his head and stood up, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave the table first."

Takeuchi looked at the figure who was leaving the table without paying attention, as if he was used to it, "Let's start the voting. Please vote by a show of hands. If you agree with my handling plan, please raise your hands."

"Shua Lala" suddenly a whole group of hands were raised.

Utsunomiya rocked the rocking chair gently and did not raise his hand. Of course, this does not mean that he has a strong backbone, but according to his current status, he is not yet qualified to raise his hand to vote. Regardless of raising his hand or not, Utsunomiya

Gongdu will not be counted in the vote.

The secretary next to him immediately started counting the votes.

Voting results:

47 votes in favor.

Passed almost unanimously.
