Abstract
Among criteria of patentability, concern of novelty is taking priority in comparing to non-obviousness and industrial applicability. However, novelty is difficult to be demonstrated before conducting a thorough research of the prior art after a proposal is been designed, which is time-consuming. Under such circumstance, 1) Positive creativity is applied in this research to enhance idea patentability by positively building it during a design process. 2) Start with elaborating idea of positive creativity, its conceptual tool is applied in this research to design a new faucet, and do actual patent application. 3) The result of patents obtained in several countries, including invention (Taiwan) and design patents (Taiwan, U.S., China), indicates that positive creativity is capable of producing patentable ideas. 4) Faucet manufacturing is a traditional industry within which theoretically more difficult to get invention patents. This further indicates that positive creativity (through positivity creation) should have similar effect in providing patentable ideas in highly-innovative industries.
Highlights
According to patent examining procedure announced in Taiwan and U.S, patentability consist of novelty, nonobviousness, and industrial applicability [1,2]
3) The result of patents obtained in several countries, including invention (Taiwan) and design patents (Taiwan, U.S, China), indicates that positive creativity is capable of producing patentable ideas
Novelty is taking priority in comparing to non-obviousness and industrial applicability, but it is difficult to be demonstrated before idea is developed into more feasible design proposal and conducted thorough research of prior art; the whole process requires a lot of efforts and could be time-consuming
Summary
According to patent examining procedure announced in Taiwan and U.S, patentability consist of novelty, nonobviousness, and industrial applicability [1,2]. Novelty is taking priority in comparing to non-obviousness and industrial applicability, but it is difficult to be demonstrated before idea is developed into more feasible design proposal and conducted thorough research of prior art; the whole process requires a lot of efforts and could be time-consuming. Current creativity methods emphasis the role of divergent thinking and its effect on generating original business ideas which is the first step of the opportunity identification process [3], yet provide little guidance in developing non-obviousness and industrial applicability of an idea, not to mention making it patentable. Case of a new faucet design that is applied for and patented is provided as demonstration
