Abstract
Patents are legally the most desirable safeguard as an intangible asset when a product or service is newly created. Worldwide, the number of patent applications is increasing every year and patent disputes are also increasing. Patent design-around is an important process to fundamentally resolve patent disputes, and it is changing into an essential procedure in research and development as well.<BR>This study focuses on the procedure after the analysis of the scope of general legal rights for patent claims in the patent design-around. The procedure and method use the main theory of TRIZ to provide a method for the developer to convert the patent into a technical system and systematically decompose the elements and functions that compose the system. The proposed method guides the developer to attempt various changes to the elements of the claim that have been disassembled using some of TRIZ’s tools. The attempt of patent design-around according to the guide makes it possible to secure new conceptual designs and good patents. The case and results of this study were utilized and verified in the actual work of the company.
