A study on Design-Around and its Engineering Application

對於以製造生產為主的台灣廠商而言，其本身所扮演的角色大多以技術跟隨者為主。由於技術跟隨者受限於國外大廠所發展的技術與制訂的產品規格，常常被要求給付相當的權利金，或者面臨專利侵權訴訟。因此尋求專利迴避設計之幫助，將付與相當的工程實務意義。 本文主要的研究目的在於發展一專利迴避設計方法，期待能夠輔助產品研發時，避免落入專利保護之申請權利範圍內，降低其侵權可能性。本文發展之專利迴避設計方法係以專利保護之申請權利範圍為基礎，藉由問題公式化發展系統化流程，並以強大的創新工具-TRIZ的輔助，產生創新概念。接著，將所有產生的創新概念，進行其侵權比對，逐一的根據侵權可能性的高低，一一列出所有解決方案。利用以上發展之模式，不同企業或個人將可選用單一解決方案或合併多個解決方案的方式，以求得適合的最終迴避設計方案。The most of enterprises focusing on manufacturing in Taiwan play the role of technology follower.The technology followers are often demanded to pay reasonable royalty or encounter patent litigation, resulting from the limit of technologies and product standards developed by the foreign enterprises. Therefore, patent design around is needed and it is provided with significance of applied engineering. This study proposes a patent design around method that can assist in product designing to lower the possibility of patent infringements. This method is combined claim, problem formulation, and TRIZ. Wherein, the claim is for being a basis, the problem formulation is for developing procedure, and the TRIZ is for generating innovative concepts. All generated innovative concepts use the rules of patent infringement judgment to judging the possibility of patent infringements, and then list all concepts in order by the possibility of patent infringements. The different enterprises or personal can estimate single concept or many concepts as a scheme of design around.中文摘要...............................................Ⅰ 英文摘要...............................................Ⅱ 目錄...................................................Ⅲ 圖例目錄...............................................Ⅵ 表格目錄...............................................Ⅷ 第一章 前言.............................................1 1.1 研究背景與動機......................................1 1.2 研究目的............................................1 1.3 本文架構............................................2 第二章創新方法介紹與相關文獻回顧........................3 2.1 問題公式化...........................................3 2.2 TRIZ理論及衍生應用..................................8 2.2.1 TRIZ理論........................................8 2.2.2 技術矛盾.......................................12 2.2.3 TRIZ衍生應用...................................13 2.2.3.1單一特性法則方法............................13 2.2.3.2 兩參數間的應用.............................14 2.3 專利保護之申請權利範圍解說..........................18 2.4 專利侵權判斷的三原則...............................18 2.5 專利迴避設計方法...................................19 2.6小結................................................23 第三章 創新迴避設計方法................................26 3.1 研究基本假設.......................................26 3.2 研究內容...........................................27 3.2.1 申請權利範圍之特性...............................27 3.2.2 問題公式化之步驟與特性...........................27 3.3 研究流程...........................................28 3.4 研究步驟...........................................29 3.5 小結...............................................32 第四章 實例研究........................................34 4.1 研究案例一（物品專利，具有多個獨立項）.............34 4.2 研究案例二（方法專利，具有多個獨立項）.............50 4.3 研究案例三（業界合作案例）.........................67 第五章 結果與建議......................................84 5.1結論................................................84 5.2建議與未來展望......................................85 參考文獻...............................................87 附錄A 39工程參數及其意義...............................89 附錄B 40解決法則及其解釋...............................92 附錄C矛盾矩陣表........................................98 附錄D改善工程特性的創新法則表..........................104附錄E避免工程特性惡化的創新法則表......................106 附錄F單一工程特性對應的創新法則表......................10
