A Unique Workshop On
Innovation and Patents Using TRIZ – The Russian Theory of
Inventive Problem Solving
Russian Centre of Science and Culture (RCSC), New Delhi (http://russiancentre.org.in) and Crafitti
Consulting Private Limited, Bangalore (http://www.crafitti.com) offer a unique workshop on
Inventions, Innovations and Patents using a relatively lesser known Russian Methodology named
Teoriya Resheniya Izobreatatelskikh Zadatch or Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ).
Genrikh Altshuller, a former Soviet Union navy patent officer after Second World
War, started a systematic study of patents – his aim was to find out what makes a
successful invention. Can there be an algorithm for inventing? His search led him
to develop a unique methodology called Theory of Inventive Problem Solving
(acronym TRIZ in Russian). In the process he also developed a methodology to
analyze and study patents.
Crafitti Consulting has developed on the TRIZ way of doing patent analysis and
reinforced it with other techniques to build a comprehensive framework for
Inventions and Innovation. For the first time this framework is offered in
India.
