Use Design Choices to Prevent Imitation
企业可通过产品与流程设计中的知识组件增减，运用四种设计策略（协调、标记/隐藏、佯攻/突袭、圈地）来阻碍模仿者，作为传统知识产权保护的补充。
Companies can use product and process design choices to protect innovations from intellectual property theft. By strategically adding or removing knowledge components, companies can deploy four design “plays” — careful coordination, tagging/cloaking, feinting/spiking, and ground staking — to frustrate imitators. This cross-functional approach offers companies a powerful complement to traditional IP protection methods.
