Abstract
Interaction Design (IxD), which is the design process that considers how users communicate or interact with computers, has
been growing in importance in recent years. Of particular note are new interface methods that go beyond the capabilities of
legacy devices, such as the standard mouse and keyboard. In this study, we focus on such IxD innovations. However, it
should be noted that, even though research into intellectual property (IP) management issues pertaining to IxD is important,
there are currently no established precedents. Therefore, to explore the IP risks faced by IxD practitioners who engage in open
management practices, we will begin by researching patent risks and the countermeasures for open management practitioners,
and then explore proper countermeasures that relate specifically to IxD.
