Case Based Reasoning (CBR) solves new problems by re-using the old solutions in similar contexts. However, repetition of previous solutions in new situations is not creative and thus becomes an issue to CBR, considering the fact that creativity is required to solve new problems. The majority of existing CBR applications is still used for solving routine problems. Consequently, this paper firstly identifies the possible root causes that may restrict the CBR method to be applied into creative problem-solving tasks. Then, in order to address the CBR issue in creativity, a concept of Creative Case Based Reasoning (CCBR) is proposed, which not only re-highlights the importance of creativity in CBR, but also serves as an initiative for exploring the CBR’s potential in generating creative solutions. Finally, this paper is summarised with concluding remarks.
