Method for Structurization of corporate knowledge as the elements of intellectual property.

Thanks to technology of SKW, in 1984-1990, we succeed to put the process of receipt copyright certificates "on the conveyor " – one claim for invention in a week, 80 % of positive decisions. In total 88 copyright certificates were received, including 15 new ways of management of technological processes, each of which is a separate independent direction of elaborations and researches. In 1985 on the First World Exhibition of young inventors EXPO-85, the group of the inventions connected with automation of technological processes on rice irrigating systems has received gold medal of the World organization of protection of intellectual property of the Organization of the United Nations. Disintegration of the USSR and the loss of interest with subjects of intellectual property made us switch on more prosaic projects. Now, on a background of processes of globalization and exponentional information increase in a problem of structuring of the intellectual capital again became actual. The greatest interest the technology of SKW can represent for corporations who is looking for new effective ways and tools of management of knowledge.

In the system of the reflexive estimation of importance of using resources on the first place stays the concept of property. As soon as a person or a group of people begins to realize value of one or other resource - it declares their Property, Property is always protected from competitors. At the beginning the property is the area where you live. Then the property is resources and the products from this resources. The reflexive estimation of their importance has transformed into hierarchy of barriers with which people protect what they have.
That’s why, it is possible to consider the phenomenon of the property, as a reflexive estimation of really important and valuable for the person and society resources.
Intellectual property is the youngest. Chinese were one of the first who understood that knowledge is strength. They carefully protected the method of manufacturing of silk and gunpowder. Damask steel is not less popular example of protection of intellectual property. The way of its manufacturing was kept secretly during some centuries.
An century-old experience of the protection of intellectual property was transformed in the 20-th century into a number of international agreements. The World organization of protection of intellectual property works by the organization of the United Nations. The most important purpose is protection of patent-holders and copyrights.
The Patent legislation of the USSR was one of the most rigid and it was not easy to protect technical innovation by copyright certificate.
The most important among the products of intellectual property are discoveries which were unknown before. Fundamental Laws are always lie in a basis of discovery.
It is possible to make a lot of inventions on the basis of discovery. Inventions are projections of laws of natural sciences on the system of coordinates of specific tasks. It is possible to tell, that inventions are essence. A projection of these essence on the system of coordinates of practical tasks directed on increase of productivity, lowering in expenses of resources and expansion of area of use and the inventions described by the formula give, as a rule, the new technical decision which is protected by the patent. The formula of the invention consists of two parts - restrictive and distinctive. The first shows the general properties of the prototype and a subject of the invention, and the second opens attributes thanks to which the invention gets competitive advantages.
Ways are the most important among patents. Then devices. And then useful models.
The principles of hierarchy and classification of products of intellectual property can be accepted as a starting point of classification of the intellectual capital of modern corporations.
Discovery - way - device - the industrial model - know-how is an offering system of the intellectual capital of the company.
That is the difference between knowledge and information?
Knowledge of information is usually associates with concrete phenomenon, or a vital situation. Knowledge is especially individual. Each person projects information which is available on his own coordinate system and looks for associative communications of the new information with his previous experience. Having groped this associative communication, every time we experience emotional rise, such as "small eureka". Having tested pleasure of knowledge, we forget nothing. The system of corporative knowledge - is individual knowledge in the system of collective access of the staff of the company.
Knowledge is hierarchic. On the top a pyramid of knowledge are the Laws. Laws explain, why there is phenomenon which person can observe. Tens of laws explain hundreds and thousands events, sequence of actions above the material objects, designed by a person and directed on reception of a positive effect – it is a way, and according to the international patent right, can be Property. Devices are necessary to realize a way. The construction of the new invention can be patented. In the hierarchy of protected objects the constructions borrow the step following after Ways. Basically, the way can be realized with the help of different inventions. Thus, the hierarchy of objects of intellectual property is built so: discovery - way - device. Devices can have various appearance which is protected by the patent for the commodity sample. There is a great area of objects of intellectual property on which it is impossible, or do not wish to receive the patent. They are called "know-how" - confidential data which allow to receive competitive advantages.
Despite of legal differences, patents and "know-how" is united algorithm of their structuring and extraction from the sea of the information around us. This algorithm is a foundation of SKW technology offered by us.
What is the difference between the technology of SKW and the technology of the solution inventor problems?
We do not give recommendations how to solve one or other inventor problem. We offer a simple technology which establishes the communication between the surrounding and a private world of a person.
Exploring surrounding, a person intuitively separates one or several essences which designates keywords. The interpretation as you understood must be given to this essences by keywords. Then we explore surrounding, revealing lacks of applications of intuitively chosen keywords (predicates) known to competitors and we think out the new decision eliminating lacks of their known use.
The technology of SKW is based on three known concepts the Glossary-analysis-synthesis (picture 1). The first two columns of the table "Keywords" and "What is it?" – is the Glossary. The difference of this glossary in what it is directed on our private world - and we give "author's" definition to those keywords that makes our "tuning forks" force to sound. Then we investigate an external world, we spend the analysis of how our competitors use the chosen keywords, we find faults also omissions with work of competitors. Further we again address to our private world and we try to think up how to eliminate lacks of competitors. It is the process of synthesis of new knowledge and we put in the last column SKW of the table under the name "know-how". If you want to realize your own idea, it is required to describe in detail, who, what, where and when will do to embody conceived in a life. Depending on the scale of idea it can be one page or a large project.
One of the advantages of SKW is clearity. To see 20 - 25 tables made by the staff of the company and to choose from them 3-4 ideas, worthy introductions, it is required only 1-2 hours. After the selection by experts, SKW tables are transferred to electronic bank of knowledge of the company. SKW table has elements of restrictive and distinctive parts of the formula of the invention and it is not difficult to make on its base the patent application. That’s why, having organized system of continuous training of the staff of the company, and periodically spending competition SKW tables after the termination of training, it is possible to consolidate their personal knowledge. Thus, SKW tables can be compared root system (collecting nutrients), delivering the intellectual capital of the employees to a trunk (to management of the company) and to a crone where grow ripe fruits (innovative projects). It is really effective tool of corporate management of the knowledge, which unites some processes.
the instruction of staff,
the creation of intellectual property in the form of patents and a know-how,
attractions of external investments into projects.
The other niche of use of technology of SKW tables is Working of experts which are going to decide a problem, for example, to wrote the specific branch program. As a rule, the customer of the program can not formulate a problem and at the first stage it is necessary to listen to all invited experts. Listening acting, each expert makes his own SKW table with 3-5 keywords and gives his own definition to this words, filling in the second column "That is it" and does the analysis of known uses of the given keywords and marks lacks of their application (column 3). Each expert works with SKW table during some days. Trying to fill in all 4 columns on each keyword. Thus, investigating an external world on intuitively chosen keywords, the expert constantly addresses to the knowledge, writing down only associative pictures. Thus, SKW table allows us to concentrate our ideas and constantly feed them by fresh information from surrounding.
The Second meeting of experts occurs behind a round table. SKW tables are signed by each expert are transferred on a circle. Experts study the tables of the colleagues and write down the ideas which have liked most of all in their summarizing SKW table. Thus the author of idea, and in SKW the table of "donor" is necessarily marked, the mark about "export" with the instruction of a surname of the expert-receptor is put. After SKW tables, having passed on a circle, come back to authors, experts continue their work in a mode of "a round table". In the working program they include keywords which experts have got in their summarizing SKW tables. At discussion experts bare in mind the rating of each expert which is a number of ideas taking by colleagues.
Thanks to exclusive simplicity SKW matrix can be used for the decision of problems (daily planning of affairs, training of the staff, innovative projects).
