授業の目的と概要

TRIZ (the theory of inventive problem solving) has an inductive theoretical system for inventive problem solving such as technology forecasting based on patent analysis, trend analysis on advancement, a matrix of contradictions, a proposal for solutions and so on. In this lecture, first, you will learn the theoretical framework of TRIZ, its methodology, and the underlying concept to improve the ability to identify, analyze and solve problems, and to develop creative products as well as to enhance inventive faculty significantly.
Secondly, in order to improve the capacity for business feasibility assessment of technology and decision on R&D investment, you will gain an understanding of the theory and methodology on invention and evaluation of the concept, adding value to patents, strategic and systematic expansion of intellectual property. Then, we will have group discussions on creativity based on a specific case.
Finally, in order to acquire the capacity to capitalize intellectual property on your own following the creation of ideas, we will conduct practical problem solving exercises using advanced software that guide strategic creation of intellectual property by linking the patent database of major developed countries with TRIZ.
