Criteria for patentability Sample Clauses

Criteria for patentability. In order to be patentable, an invention must meet three universally accepted requirements or criteria being firstly, the invention must be novel meaning that it must not have been previously known to the public within a given area and further it must not have been anticipated anywhere in the world. There are two types of novelty namely relative for the former situation and universal for the latter. Universal novelty is the international norm currently in use. Secondly, the invention must be non-obvious that is to say; it must contain sufficient innovativeness to merit protection. An invention is considered as involving an inventive step if it is not obvious to a person skilled in the art. Thirdly the invention must be industrially applicable or useful.18 The reason for having inventions is to have practical solutions to problems being experienced in industry on a daily basis and as such an invention must be useful to the extent of making life easier for those that it is intended for.
