Abstract	Despite the importance of analysis of competitors' products, companies generally observe the technologies of technical systems (TS) competitors without support of formal methods. This tends to limit the capability to understand the solutions and obtain suggestions for innovative products. To overcome this limitation, there are propositions that formalize the process of studying competitors' TS. However, none of these is broad enough and they focus on specific aspects of the studied product. In this research, reverse engineering (RE) is presented as a systematic approach to learn the fundamentals of the TS and thus meet the conditions for identifying and proposing innovations in new products. The proposed model consists of three phases: planning, obtaining and analyzing information, and recommendations for designing. The planning phase consists of activities related to project management of RE. The second phase aims at obtaining the requested information from an existing system, analyzing them considering the market for this technical system, the interaction between user-TS (ergonomics), the system performance and design solutions (functions, solution principles and technical characteristics of the system). In the phase of recommendations design suggestions are proposed for the new systems, from the results obtained in the reverse engineering project. A structure of a database was also proposed to store the results from the reverse engineering process. The model and structure were evaluated by experts and potential users, from the application of them in examples of a grass trimmer and a compact compressor. The results showed that the model and structure of the database are appropriate for the stated purpose. Key-words: reverse engineering; product design; conceptual design; innovation; technical systems.
