How to invent?
• Think gaps
• Look for overlapping areas
• Inventing patents. A new technique !
– Go to USPTO, Google or any other source
• Look at nature
• Use tools

Where to invent / innovate?
• Surely not all possible things are invented.
• Look for gaps, overlapping areas, challenge the taken for granted thinking!
• Inventing patents
- Go to USPTO, Google or any other source
• Examine national and global problems (not necessarily connected to your domain)
• How many national problems we can think of?
Shanta R Yapa, IP Perspectives @ OUSL, June 2017
26
How to select the best?
• We do have limited resources to invent and innovate.
• How to optimize by selecting the most appropriate ideas/projects?
• Use the EPIC formula
– Excitement, Practicability, Impact & Cost
