Design Around Study

Patent designing around by literal meaning, uses algorithms and different databases viz. Vantage point, TRIZ  etc. to find out the research opportunities for a particular invention

Why?

• To make the necessary modification of the invention for the generation of all possible topological structures of working mechanisms to avoid existing inventions that have patent protection or disclosed in any form in the prior art
• To avoid occurrence of infringement

General practice:

(1) Investigate the legal status to study which scope of claims has been surrendered by the patent holder during the prosecution.

(2) Apply the prior art to find out the difference and scope of further work

(3) Eliminate one or more claimed technological characteristics if required

(4) Change the functions or objectives of technological characteristics if necessary

(5) Use the techniques mentioned in the “background of the invention” of the specification since these techniques have been considered as nonequivalent to those in the claims.
