Practical Improvements of the Technological Idea Production Method Using Patent Knowledge

Abstract

Technological problems included in many social problems are desired to be solved. We proposed a technological idea production method for making inventions relating to an apparatus in 2011. We tried to improve and disseminate the idea production method in the local society. Attention was directed to ways to acquire relevant knowledge to produce ideas. Experiment results reveal that the idea production method is useful to people as students other than patent professionals. The technological idea production method encouraged participants in our activities in the local society to produce technological ideas.
