設計新原型開發流程－—統合專利迴避設計策略與發明解決問題理論

Process of New Prototype Design—Integrating Designing around Existing Patents and the Theory of Inventive Problem-Solving

本文發展出一可行的新設計原型之系統化創新流程，以協助研發工程師快速找到產品創新的概念。本系統化流程統合技術分析、專利迴避設計策略、發明解決問題理論與專利侵權判準規則以迴避侵權的方式開發可行的新設計原型。依此設計流程，本文以導光板為例，進行重新設計，該設計可有效地提升導光板對光源利用率，並改善原網點式導光板其出光之光亮度與均齊度表現。

To guarantee a higher efficiency in research and development as well assubstantial returns on investment, it is essential that corporations reduce thecosts incurred by R&D departments. This paper proposes an integratedprocess of systematic innovation for redesigning prototypes. This processintegrates a technology analysis, patent design-around strategies, innovativedesign methods in the theory of inventive problem-solving, and rules ofpatent infringement judgment. It is expected that a redesign of prototypesof light guide panels by design-around strategies to avoid infringement ofexisting patents can be used to illustrate the integrated process.
