The state of research in the history of science and technology on the science of product research in Germany deals exclusively with methodological items. This essay stresses the contrary side of the product development process for the first time. On the one hand it asks for the requirements for new products and the specific ways these were integrated into product design as a kind of time specific thing knowledge. On the other hand it analyzes, how these procedures were corresponding with institutional innovations apparent in the genesis of WiGeP.
