Abstract
The paper begins with the hypothesis that current citation-based and classification code based patent search techniques offer little if any value to organizations in terms of either locating disruptive threats or opportunities, or providing leaders with forward looking strategic information. The paper goes on to discuss how the findings of the three-million data-point TRIZ/Systematic Innovation research have uncovered findings capable of addressing a forward-looking, predictive search and analysis capability that allows inventors and problem solvers to assess the likely value of a patent application before it is filed.
