DESIGN FOR PATENTABILITY

 

 

 

 

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.

 

The approach is approved by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and many patent offices.
