Patent & IP Development

Oxford Creativity has drawn on our extensive experience to create this fast paced and creative team workshop. In this workshop we work with you to develop your Patents and Intellectual Property and enable you to use the Oxford TRIZ tools and processes to: 

  • Develop inventive concepts to create strong patents
  • Chart new product areas of strategic value
  • Develop and strengthen existing patents
  • Extend current and future patents for wider applications

Our most successful work has been on strengthening and developing patents for clients in a wide range of industries e.g. software, medical devices, oil and gas, FMCG, food production, packaging, aerospace and energy. To find out more read our Case Studies

All Team Workshop bookings have the option to purchase, at a discounted price, full access for their teams to our Oxford TRIZ Fundamentals eLearning course. This is 7 modules with 24 video learning lessons, to facilitate revision and extended learning in their own time and space.

What benefits does this Workshop deliver?

  • Achieve the best returns on the significant investments of patent applications
  • Everyone’s time, energy and resources are efficiently and intelligently deployed
  • We engage your teams, technical experts and patent attorneys to deliver effective results - FAST
  • Identify the correct scope for your patents 
  • Ensure everyone fully understands the strategic aims of the patent – and all possible ways of achieving them
  • Identify any potential patent vulnerabilities 
  • Generate a wide range of promising solutions for strengthening and ring-fencing your patents

How does it work?

Learn the essential Oxford TRIZ tools and processes for developing and extending strong and innovative patents and IP. Plus, bring your existing patents and IP or ideas for new patents to the team workshop and apply your Oxford TRIZ learnings to improve them.

Essential Oxford TRIZ IP tools include:

  • Invention context - how to generate and broaden IP with TRIZ tools
  • Map claims, map inventions - protect and extend your IP with Function Mapping
  • Next generation and beyond - future proofing your IP with the TRIZ Trends
  • Design around patents with the 40 Principles - use Contradictions and the Prism for Patents to generate new patentable ideas
  • Strong IP step by step - systematic routes to protect and extend your IP territory and design around competitors' patents

Time-efficient, effective learning - we use the time 'in the room' efficiently and also ensure that is enjoyable, participative and memorable.

In June 2017 my company submitted two related patent applications for a couple of my inventions. In December we received the search reports which I reviewed and in doing so, identified some fairly minor changes to the applications. I was due to provide updated applications into our IP people but held off until I had been on last week's workshop. And I am glad I did.
I applied some of the learning from last week and I suddenly had a great deal more clarity over my own inventions. I also identified some important extensions which could be included.

I have now updated the applications and sent them to my IP people...they are now much stronger applications.

All down to the Patenting with TRIZ course.
