Patton Design’s 40+ years of success creating inventions that shift the societal paradigm of mechanization and complacency have yielded a unique methodology for combining design exploration with patent creation, the concept of which encapsulates profound opportunities for innovation. The imaginative process of conceptualizing industrial design solutions to help humanity will be delineated; fundamental within this effort is an investigation of the patent white space, as it is crucial to understand what already exists on the market when inventing, designing, and engaging in the perpetual act of problem-solving.
