Advanced Patent Analysis using TRIZ and Other Techniques
Patents are the most comprehensive source of information and knowledge. In the rapidly globalizing world of continuous change and cut-throat competition, every enterprise searches for competitive advantage. Patentinformation although realized by many as highly critical is not really tapped by enterprises at large, simply as theunderstanding of patents as a source of information and trigger for inventing the
“next”
is still in infancy.
Although there are many open tools and databasesvisualization of
patent data, there doesn’t seem to be
enough awareness of using patents for inventing the
“
next
”
!
Genrikh Altshuller, a Soviet Union naval patent officer afterSecond World War, started a systematic study of patents
–
his aim was to find out what makes a successful invention
.
Can there be an algorithm for inventing?
His search led him to develop a unique methodology called Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (acronym TRIZ in Russian).
In the process he also developed a systematic methodology to analyze and study patents.
TRIZ discovered technological evolutionary laws that surprisingly can be used to predict the future of an invention.
Crafitti Consulting has developed on the TRIZ way of doing patent analysis and reinforced it with othertechniques to build a comprehensive framework for Patent analysis.
For the first time this framework is offered in India.
The framework is based on following high level techniques
Understanding the level of an invention and a patent
Finding out the key contradictions the invention is solving
Function Diagrams/analysis of a patent/invention to make it more robust
Pruning or Trimming as a means of inventing
Technological Evolutionary Paths of the Invention
System Complexity Estimation

The framework helps in
Finding Technological Alternatives to a Patent
Writing Future-proof claims of a Patent
Understanding the evolution of an invention compared to prior art
Finding white space in a field to leverage
Basic Patent Analysis using well-established TRIZ methodology (Level of Invention,Contradictions and Inventive Principles)
After studying and analyzing more than 2.5 MillionPatents and Inventions, TRIZ has categorized patentsinto 5 levels of inventions. 77% of these fall undersimple modifications or improvements. TRIZdescribes a lens to find out where is on these levelsis the patent/invention. A Level 4 Invention is realdiamond, but rare. Further TRIZ process helps infinding out what key problems the invention issolving
–
if the invention solves a contradiction itbecomes interesting from the point of view of itsincreasing strength. Further, TRIZ identified 40Inventive principles used by inventors. The basic patent analysis gives the level of the invention, contradictions
