Description
Summary:This work relates to a methodology for effectively modeling an Action and Problem System and documenting a path built by means of patent databases. The aim of this work is to provide an improved method and operative tool for a quick and reliable patents investigation driven by Boolean algorithms. The method has been tested with several projects for companies of different industrial areas. Moreover in the last months the method has been used in case studies by students from the University of Bergamo with good results after a very few hours of training. Two specific case studies will be discussed in this paper in order to clarify the operative value of said method and to show the results obtained in terms of solutions found and of efforts requested.
