Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual evaluation of patent claims and contributions is performed, then accuracy in determining novelty and compensation can be maintained, but productivity and efficiency of collaborative IP projects deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy in determining novelty and compensationVSAvoidproductivity of collaborative IP projects
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI-based intermediary system that acts as a mediator between patent claims and the evaluation process. This system uses natural language processing and machine learning models to automatically analyze patent claims, compare them against prior art databases, and determine novelty and compensation metrics, thereby maintaining accuracy while significantly improving productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical evaluation processes with automated computational systems. Machine learning models and algorithms substitute human reviewers, enabling high-volume processing of patent claims while maintaining consistent evaluation standards and accuracy through trained predictive models

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If automated systems are used to evaluate patent claims, then productivity improves, but measurement precision and accuracy in determining novelty deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of evaluating patent claimsVSAvoidaccuracy in determining novelty
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training machine learning models on extensive patent databases and prior art collections before actual evaluation. This pre-processing phase enables the automated system to achieve high accuracy by learning from historical data, ensuring that productivity gains do not compromise measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the automated evaluation system continuously refines its predictions based on outcomes and corrections. This feedback loop allows the system to improve its accuracy over time while maintaining high productivity, as the learned patterns are applied to subsequent evaluations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive databases of prior work are searched to determine novelty, then measurement precision improves, but loss of time and processing duration increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy in assessing noveltyVSAvoidtime required for database searching and evaluation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the comprehensive prior art database into organized categories and subsets. The evaluation system then queries only relevant segments based on the specific patent claim being evaluated, rather than searching the entire database. This segmentation maintains measurement precision by ensuring thorough search of relevant areas while reducing overall processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial searching by initially querying a subset of the database that is most likely to contain relevant prior art based on keyword matching and classification. Only if initial results are inconclusive does the system expand to more comprehensive searching, thus balancing time investment with accuracy requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Quantity of substance

If multiple authorized participants contribute to a project, then quantity of contributions increases, but difficulty of detecting and measuring individual contributions and determining compensation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of authorized contributionsVSAvoiddifficulty in evaluating individual contributions
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates digital copies or representations of each participant's contributions in a structured format. These digital replicas capture the essence, scope, and impact of each contribution, enabling automated comparison and evaluation. This copying approach allows the system to handle multiple participants efficiently while maintaining precise measurement of individual contributions through standardized data structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
