外貿口語一點通第118期:專利注冊之購買專利

字號:

Purchase patents 購買專利 A: We'd like you to provide us with equipment.
    我們想要你們給我們提供設備。
    B: I am afraid that we can't. Production costs have risen a great deal and we are now losing money. However, we're quite willing to transfer the patent.
    恐怕不行。因為生產(chǎn)成本已上漲了很多,我公司正在虧損。不過,我們愿意轉讓專利。
    A: Well, it seems that we'll only consider buying the patent. In what form will you transfer the patent?
    哦,看來我們只能考慮買專利了。你們將以什么形式轉讓專利?
    B: We'd like to transfer the right to use the patent in the form of license.
    我們想以許可證的形式轉讓專利使用權。
    A: But the license only gives one the right to manufacture the equipment. What about the technology not included in the patent?
    但許可證只給了制造設備的權利,不包括專利中的技術,這將如何辦?
    B: Don't worry. We'll provide you with all the information and also five technicians needed to manufacture the equipment.
    不用擔心,我們會給你們提供制造設備所需要的所有資料,還有五名技術人員。
    A: OK, how long will you allow us to use the patent?
    好,那你們允許我方使用專利多久?
    B: 5 years.
    五年。
    A: Well, how much will you ask?
    你們要價多少?
    B: We hope you will pay us 50,000$.
    我們希望你們付50,000美金。
    A: I am afraid we can not accept that. We hope you can reduce by 1%.
    恐怕我們不能接受這個價格。我們希望你們能降低1%。
    B: OK.
    好吧。
    A: I am glad we've come to an agreement on price. We'll go on to the other terms and conditions at our next meeting.
    很高興我們在價格上達成協(xié)議。下次見面,我們再研究其他條款。
    B: All right.
    好的。
    “come to an agreement on”是“就……達成協(xié)議”的意思。例如:They came to an agreement on the terms of insurance. (他們就保險條款達成了協(xié)議。)
