Die Produktpiraterie-Konflikt-Matrix - Zentrales Element einer integrierten, TRIZ-gestützten Lösung für Technologie basierten Know-how-Schutz
Abstract
The paper gives a general introduction to product piracy as an economic and a methodological challenge. Technology-based know-how protection is presented and its potentials outlined. The corporate value chain is discussed as the relevant system when implementing technological know-how protection mechanisms and as an essential dimension of the so called Product Piracy Conflict Matrix (PPC Matrix). Forming the methodological analogy, the TRIZ contradiction table is presented as a starting point for the PPC Matrix. The development of the matrix is described and its implications as part of a comprehensive process model for technological know-how protection are discussed. Finally, a detailed and critical outlook both towards its application potentials and towards further research needs is given.
