Abstract
To develop a product for people who are exposed to the particular environment or activity, their implicit need should be determined; their behaviour, activity, and task etc. can be investigated. A survey was conducted to investigate the implicit need of boating people [1]. 32.1% of respondents thought that 'head' is the most vulnerable body part to get injured while boating and 11.7% of the respondents had been injured on the 'head' indicating boating people require safety equipment to provide a protection of their head. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the technology used for developing helmets through analysing the helmet patents of Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and EU.

To develop a product for people who are exposed to the particular environment or activity, their implicit need should be determined; their behaviour, activity, and task etc. can be investigated
The patents to improve thermal comfort for wearers were distinguished after considering abstract, exemplary claim, plans and International Patent Classification (IPC)
The common contents of both Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)’s and EU’s were about the technology related to respiratory, moulding & shaping, layered products composed of specific materials, safety technology adapted for vehicle, attaching technology, shock-absorbing technology, lighting, optical parts or element, signalling, and transmission/transducer technology
