Drawing on the contacts and resources she had built over years as a top legal professional, Anne liaised with government departments responsible for business registration, market regulation, industry and information technology, antitrust enforcement, and more. She led her team in reviewing existing laws word by word and clause by clause, drafting supplementary regulations, industry compliance standards, and detailed exemptions for technological monopolies to address gaps in the brand-new electric vehicle industry.
She identified the crucial point with perfect precision: technological leadership ≠ malicious monopoly.
In numerous consultations with regulators, Anne presented clear, well-supported arguments and repeatedly emphasized the central logic.
New-energy electric vehicles were a disruptive, emerging strategic industry. The current absence of competitors and alternative technologies was not due to a company deliberately excluding others, manipulating the market, or suppressing competition. It was a natural monopoly resulting from the technological barriers of the era, with no malicious intent to disrupt market order or restrict the industry's development.
At the same time, she proactively submitted a full set of technology filings, research and development documents, and industry plans. She pledged to open non-core foundational patents, publish industry safety standards, and promote the development of upstream and downstream supply chains, proactively avoiding every risk of malicious monopoly and establishing a benchmark for industry compliance.
Besides that, Anne and her team worked intensively in specialized areas, tailoring a complete legal framework specifically for the electric vehicle industry.
From battery patent compliance, the definition of technological barriers for complete vehicles, and copyright protection for smart systems to regulations for new-vehicle launches and sales, the scope of after-sales consumer rights, disputes in lower-tier markets, avoidance of capital competition, and isolation of antitrust risks, they covered every angle and built layer upon layer of defenses. They closed every legal blind spot and loophole in advance
