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.
