Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Dec. 27, 2009)
This paper was submitted at the Fourth TRIZ Symposium in Japan, 2008
, which was held on Sept. 10-12, 2008 by 'Japan TRIZ Society, NPO'. However, the Author had to be absent from the Symposium because of his personal situations. Thus the paper was not presented actually even though it was published in the Proceedings of the Symosium.
The slides were translated into Japanese by Toshiaki Masaki (Nitto Denko Co.) for the Symposium. Japan TRIZ Society has posted the presentation files in Japanese (of all the Contributed Presentations) in the 'Members-Only' area of its Official Web site (http://www.triz-japan.org/ ) in PDF on July 1, 2009. [Files in English will not be posted there.]
I wanted to post this paper in my Web site "TRIZ Home Page in Japan", since the time of the Symposium; and now I am doing so. For the posting work I read this paper again closely, and found it worthy of translating the full paper into Japanese. I have finished the translation work quickly and am happy to post this paper both in English and in Japanese. This paper is very instructive on the nature of patentability and is warning us to re-examine our inventions from the viewpoints of prior arts before filing patent applications.
I am happy to post the articles related to this paper in the following way:

(Taiwan Textile Research Institute, Taiwan)Abstract
This article aims to enclose the relationship between the inventiveness based on a systematic innovation approach (such as TRIZ) and the patentability based on patent examination procedure (such as MPEP), and will propose a feasible way to improve both inventions and their intellectual proprietary protection. A detailed examination of concepts generated by aid of TRIZ methodologies, their corresponding prior arts and prosecution history is performed. Some conclusions are drawn about the causes of rejection of inventions, and some suggestions are proposed as guideline for effective invention and patent application.
