Abstract: Patents are important weapons for enterprises to participate the competition in market, while patents layout can help enterprises increase competition. Considering a set of completed innovative approach from strategy to tactics provided by TRIZ theory, therefore, integrating the TRIZ theory into the whole patent layout process is proposed in this paper, and the innovative tools and resource of TRIZ are applied into the patent digging process. The basic function model and auxiliary function model are established by functional analysis of TRIZ during patent analysis process, the technical evolution theory and resource analysis of TRIZ is used to expand the innovative materials for patent applications during the patents digging process, the configuration between the claims of independent right and dependent right of patent can be sorted out by TRIZ tools during the patents application process. In this way, a set of methods and models of patent layout for enterprises can be established.
