Product innovation can be achieved by analyzing leading products patents in the market. Different methods have been proposed for design around patent, commonly using the elimination or replacement of a single patent element. However, the existing research fails to restore the position and function of the design around object in the original patent portfolio of enterprises, which often leads to the phenomenon of evading one patent and violating another. This paper proposes a method for design around patent through using the fusion of technologies of the evolution theory and bundle-type patent portfolio analysis in the initial stage of product development. The object system is analyzed to select technical opportunities through the evolutionary path of technologies and functional trimming methods to achieve circumvent barriers of bundle-type patents. The bundle patent portfolio is analyzed for the product evolution with a radar map. The technological evolution path is combined with the TRIZ innovation method to identify and solve the design problem. Patentability of the new design is evaluated using the patent system rules for innovative scheme difference from the original patent portfolio. The method is verified in a case study for the design of a glass-wiping robot. The design solution has been patented. which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided you give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the Creative Commons license, and indicate if changes were made.

“…Component function is the action that one component (function carrier) changes or maintains a parameter of another component (object of function). 6,47,55 One component function has three basic elements: function carrier, object of function, and action between them. Process is operation action sequence on product (material object), and process function is the function performed within the operation process that changes and maintains a parameter of material object (product).…”

Process trimming (also can be called as trimming for process) helps to trim and eliminate process operations by redistributing their functions among other operations. It offers one way to eliminate key disadvantages in product and manufacturing process that other methods do not see. However, few methods have been disclosed in a structured way for process trimming effectively. Therefore, this article proposes an integrated process focused on technological process and product innovation to solve the key problems with process trimming-based TRIZ (theory of inventive problem-solving) approach. This method helps to identify and inventively solve the key problems and maximize use resource of system and supersystem. First, process trimming candidates are identified based on component function model, component trimming rules, process function model analysis, component-process interaction matrix, and root cause analysis. Then, three types of process trimming strategies are presented. Algorithm of process trimming is developed to identify key problems in technological process. TRIZ problem-solving tools are used to solve these key problems. Finally, a case study of refrigerator door foam innovative design and manufacturing process is investigated to test the efficiency of the approach. The innovative solution significantly decreases manufacturing defects and service cost.
