The product and process innovation is the research activity carried out through a systematic approach to inventive problem solving, known under the Russian acronym TRIZ. With this method, based on the analysis of what has already been done in the world through careful patent investigation is a inventive solution in greatly reduced time, thus at low cost. Benefit obtained by this method: - possibility to address technological issues at 360°, from engineering to medicine; - identification of a few optimal strategies among the many choices available; - reduction of time-to-trial, thanks to an analysis of what has been experienced in other areas of technology. Main activities: - PATENT SURVEY: definition of the state of the art through research methods applied to semi-automatic patent databases. Creating links to information that can be managed by the client in order to deepen and expand their own knowledge. - TREND TECHNOLOGY: application of an exact method of defining the evolutionary trend of a process or product under consideration, from pioneering to the technology diffusion. - PREDICTION: processing of different forecasting models in order to define a technical specification for a new product.
