patenterbart
Patenterbart refers to the characteristic of an invention or creation that allows it to be granted a patent. For something to be considered patenterbart, it must generally meet several legal criteria. These criteria vary slightly between jurisdictions, but common requirements include novelty, inventive step (also known as non-obviousness), and industrial applicability (or utility). Novelty means the invention must not have been previously disclosed to the public anywhere in the world. The inventive step signifies that the invention must not be obvious to a person skilled in the relevant technical field, given the existing prior art. Industrial applicability or utility means the invention must be capable of being made or used in some kind of industry. Discoveries, scientific theories, mathematical methods, aesthetic creations, and methods for performing mental acts are typically not considered patenterbart. Furthermore, inventions that are contrary to public order or morality are also excluded. The determination of whether an invention is patenterbart is ultimately made by a patent office through a rigorous examination process.
