摘要

本研究針對產品設計開發，整合專利迴避設計原則及極簡思維，並透過創思法則，引導出一系統性之設計程序－專利化設計程序」（Patentization Design Process，簡稱PDP），不僅可達成產品創新的目的，亦有效地為企業商品取得專利保障。「專利化設計程序」主要運用專利迴避技術之「減少元件」或「置換元件」等原則，進行設計構思的功能改變，以形成初步核心創新構想，其次再針對關鍵元件，對其物理屬性進行簡化推演，萃取出極簡元件組合，爾後透過奔馳法(SCAMPER)，進行構想的多元提呈，以完備系列專利佈局。此PDP之主要步驟為：1.透過系統性搜尋，檢索並篩選相關專利文件；2.焦點專利案例分析；3.進行迴避對象元件之「減少」及／或「置換」及／或「實質改變」，提出初步核心構想；4.運用奔馳法(SCAMPER)，提出多元實施例，完備單一專利佈局；5.針對初步核心構想，發展極簡元件組合，提出進階構想；6.針對進階構想，提出多元實施例，完備系列專利佈局；7.進行細部設計、工程設計、原型製作、測試及修正；8.進行新設計之侵權驗證及專利申請。此外，本研究以預設主題「可站立檔案夾」為設計對象，運用此一程序發展出不同創新程度之方案，且皆已通過實體審查，獲得中華民國新型專利，亦驗證其新穎性及進步性。其一方案更獲得「94年國家發明創作獎」創作獎銀牌，相對肯定此設計程序於創新執行上之有效性。

This research integrated patent design around techniques, component minimization approaches, and design methods to suggest a systematic design process, Patentization Design Process (PDP). The PDP could not only reach the purpose of product innovation but also obtain a patent for enterprise. The main steps of PDP are: (1) searching and reviewing related patents systematically; (2) analyzing target patents; (3) applying ”eliminate” and/or ”substitute” and/or ”substantial change” as main techniques for design around in order to suggest a basic core concept; (4) adopting ”SCAMPER” as the design method to generate diversities for the basic concept; (5) minimizing and changing component factors to induce advanced core concepts; (6) adopting ”SCAMPER” as the design method again to propose patent portfolios for the advanced core concepts; (7) processing detail design, engineering design, prototyping, and testing; (8) employing infringement assessment, documentation writing, and patent applications. Besides, a specific theme, Easel Binder, was employed as a demonstration. A serial of innovation concepts were developed successfully, and one of the concepts awarded 2005 National Invention and Creation Silver medal of ROC. The applicability and authenticity of PDP was validated accordingly.
