DFP LEVEL 2

Process Patents

Process Patents Manufacturing / Services / Algorithms

A great invention need not be a great patent. The fact that it is being written by someone else (patent professional) most of the times, the ability to translate the important claim elements is often left to their understanding.

Design for Patentability™ (DFP) is a powerful innovative design methodology that is based on a rational and disciplined process. It employs an efficient suite of tools and methods for improving existing products and technologies as well as for developing winning next-generation products. These approaches can also be used to develop the required functionality, reduce the cost of manufacturing processes, enabling the new and improved products to be brought to market with a very high probability of being patented.

Level 2 Certification DFP Catch-up Workshop enables TRIZ-certified Level 2 participants to master the DFP tools needed for competitive patent circumvention, boosting up the patentability criteria, performing innovative projects.

Why DFP level 2 learning is required?

For India to be manufacturing hub for the world, does the manufacturing hubs have patents that are best in the class and can’t be copied by others? If you represent a OEM with manufacturing, do you want to build a strong portfolio of patents?
The primary necessity of DFP® level 2 learning is to understand how to apply IP strategies in order to build a strong invention that your competition can’t circumvent in process patents Processes include: Manufacturing, Services & Software Algorithms.
Do you know the best drafted patent can be circumvented legally? It takes many millions of Rupees to develop technology and you can leave the opportunity for the competition to build their technology at your expense. Do you want to learn how not to make it happen in Manufacturing / Services / Algorithm patents?
Similar to Innovation strategies, we have patent strategies, and this is not meant alone for IP professionals. As entrepreneurs or intrapreneurs, it is important to know what aspects are critical to negotiate deals effectively and this can be done by understanding the patent strategies in processes. How many IP strategies are you aware of?
With inventions happening at a rapid pace across the world, the best manufacturing processes could have been patented? The question is how you can build you niche in this area when there is a crowd and you need to differentiate?

What would you learn in DFP level 2?

– competitive patent circumvention using Attribute Analysis

– methods of circumventing competitive patents on methods/processes (including applications of CECA)

– how to build a patent firewall for strengthening your own IP

– innovation hybridization – function crosslinking

– more on development of dependent claims with TESE

– Super-Effect Analysis and its application for circumventing and strengthening

How you can leverage this learning to your growth

1. Strengthen your foundation towards developing strong Process patents for your solutions post learning TRIZ level 2 & DFP Level 2.

2. Become a professional Innovation Practitioner Advanced in Manufacturing processes, Services & Software Algorithms.

3. Major credentials the students will get: the students will take an Official Certification Test and get International Certification from DFPI – Design for Patentability Institute in cooperation with WIPO, MIT, Tufts and European Commission.
