Abstract: Abstract Can innovation be cross-pollinated between design and technology? Dyson is known for harnessing new technology and design to revolutionize the household appliance market with innovative products such as bagless vacuum cleaners and bladeless fans. This chapter introduces patent citation networks to both quantitatively and visually assess how Dyson’s product innovations grow and are connected, and what these connections mean for its next innovations. Finally, the multi-depth ego-networks of US D602,143, the first Dyson’s bladeless fan design patent, allows us to unfold how this ground-breaking innovation cross-pollinates different design and technology.
