Abstract

Patents have been recognized as a core knowledge asset which are closely related with company's technological competitiveness. However, only a small portion of patents are actually contributing to the profit of the company. In addition, it costs a lot of money continuously to maintain the patent rights regardless of their values. Thus, effective methodologies are required to create patents with high values. It is examined what kind of differences exist between high value patents and the others in the use of TRIZ methodologies. For the purpose, we analyzed the US granted patents of Samsung Electronics. The analysis shows that there is no significant difference in the use of inventive principles, but high value patents utilize 'separation by condition' the most where as the others 'separation by space' the most frequently in the use of separation principles. In the use of standard solutions, high value patents use the 'class 2' principles frequently than the others.
