Abstract

This is the most debatable and the most personal of all four standards of patentability. It is however very important to make the distinction between what is really new and what is just easy and simple addition to knowledge that already exists. This need has long been a part of the core in intellectual property rights and acts as a filter making sure patents are given only to those inventions that show a big jump forward in their fields. The idea of non-obviousness tests both makers and lawyers, challenging them to show clearly that an invention is greater than just a reasonable next step based on old art.
