Case study of Control ofIntellectual Property (CIP) thatuses I-TRIZ and idea generation
Gen Abiko (MINORU International Patent Office)1. Purpose
Through the case study of the small animal capture tool (rattrap), themethod the intellectual property control by TRIZ is effectively developed isexamined.
2. Method
The 4476851th small animal capture tool of the patent (Hereafter, it is said
this case patent) was taken up as a research case with this CIP.

Explanation of this case patentDiagram made by IWB

･The idea to evade from the composition requirement by the brainstorm
by the CIP study meeting of sponsoring ideation Japan Ltd. was createdbased on the made diagram.
･In the process of creating the idea, the evasion idea from thecomposition requirement was not enumerated at random. It squeezed
to the evasion idea required to raise the operation advantage of "Point tostick small animals' body hairs etc. to the adhesive material" and"Capture rate improvement of small animals" and the idea was shown.
･As a result, the idea that reached 25 was able to be created.
･The brainstorm that centered on the diagram was actually done in theprocess of creating this idea. In addition, the idea is created getting ahint from the operator mounted on IWB.

3. Result
A typical idea is shown among created ideas below.
#1 It evades from this invention that puts up a net by putting the net like theconcentric circle like the lattice.
#2 Because a gel adhesive material is spread, the net is lost.
#3 The getting twisted part where the adhesive material was integrated withthe function of the net is put on arachnoid.
#4 A lot of spheroidal materials are displayed, it tips the balance, and thecomposition of the net of this invention is omitted.
#5 It evades from this invention by alienating the mesh and the adhesivematerial by entering of the rat the very limit.
#6 It stiffens gradually by mixing the curing agent with two liquids of theadhesive, and the rat is caught, and the composition of the net is omitted.

Measurement of evasion degree with this case invention
that uses number of elements of one consideration case
What are the number of case elements?
･Qualitative index assumed to area within the technical range of patented invention correlativity is the highest.
･The one that how much limitation of each component was put in description of claim was expressed numerically. (Abiko andanother (2008))･The number of case elements counts and expresses only an element necessary to achieve the proposition by the verb among nouns(The noun phrase is included) modified to the verb defined in the claim numerically.

(open the 2010-231883th special official report)･The noun phrase "DRAM" becomes the verb and a pair "Have" that this is modified in the component "The first memory array". Itis a case element to play a condition role for the proposition achievement.
･In the component "Memory controller", the noun phrase "The first memory array" becomes the verb and a pair "Access it" that thisis modified. It is a case element to play a condition role for the proposition achievement.
･The component "The first memory array" and the component "Memory controller" pair off with the verb "Have" modified to thisrespectively when seeing in the name of the invention "Semiconductor equipment". It is a case element to play a condition role forthe proposition achievement.

The total for one claim of the case element extracted like this is a number of case elements in the claim.
→The evasion degree with this case invention is measured through the number of case elements of these claims.

Generated ideas #1 - #6 → establish each as a concept
It replaces it with sentences at the same level as the claim.

The compositions are compared, and the part ofthe difference is counted by the number of case elements.

This case invention

Evasion degree to this case patent of created idea

Evaluation result of idea

･These evaluation items are assumed to be the one put with a main objective of utility as thetechnology.
･To prevent the subjectivity from the evaluation's starting, the evaluation value is set under themutual agreement of all constituent members of the CIP study meeting.

Idea # 6 was a high reputation value,and became the result of # 4 and #'s 5 continuing next most.

#It was shown that the idea of 3 and # 6 was more suitable.

4. Conclusion･Through the case study of the small animal capture tool(rattrap), an intellectual property by TRIZ was controlled. Inaddition, making to the diagram and the idea putting out weredone by using IWB. In addition, the created idea is made adiagram and importance the firm stop of the rush mat has
understood the composition of the concept.
･It was actually verified that the overall judgment not biased on
the other hand of either became possible because it evaluatedit with two axes of "Utility as the technology" and "Evasion
degree" about the evaluation axis.
･It has been understood that a more effective concept creation
becomes possible because it feeds back to the idea putting out
again based on these evaluation results, too.
