[Einspruchs]grund der mangelnden erfinderischen Tätigkeit Explanation: A suggestion. I assume your document comes from the US. (Ground of) obviousness is US terminology. The term used for the approximately equivalent concept in many other countries is lack of inventive step. “Obvious to try” is a stratagem which can be used to try to knock out a patent on the ground of lack of inventive step, also known as obviousness. https://www.marks-clerk.com/Home/Knowledge-News/Articles/Obv... Lack of inventive step (also referred to as ‘obviousness’) is the most common means of attacking the validity of a patent. http://www.globelawandbusiness.com/storage/files/books/1276-... Obviousness is often referred to as “lack of inventive step” in foreign jurisdictions. https://www.wilmerhale.com/uploadedFiles/WilmerHale_Shared_C... Thus, this particular 'ground' includes within its scope two of the most common attacks on validity: lack of novelty (ie anticipation) (EPC, Articles 52(1) and 54) and lack of inventive step (ie obviousness) (EPC, Articles 52(1) and 56) https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=YteI5R70wNIC&pg=PA189&lp... 11 »Non-obviousness« bzw . im deutschen Patentrecht die »erfinderische Tätigkeit« ist ein Hauptkriterium, dem eine Patentanmeldung standhalten muss, um Chance auf eine Patenterteilung zu haben. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=TMgTBseYJN4C&pg=PA283&dq... However, the allegation that the claims lacked novelty in view of the closest prior art document could be considered in the context of deciding on the ground of lack of inventive step. http://www.epo.org/law-practice/legal-texts/html/caselaw/201... Die Behauptung, dass die nächstliegende Entgegenhaltung für die Patentansprüche neuheitsschädlich ist, kann jedoch bei der Entscheidung über den Einspruchsgrund der mangelnden erfinderischen Tätigkeit geprüft werden. http://www.epo.org/law-practice/legal-texts/html/caselaw/201... III. Der Einspruch stützte sich auf den Grund der mangelnden erfinderischen Tätigkeit (Artikel 100 (a) EPÜ). https://www.epo.org/law-practice/case-law-appeals/recent/t10... Etwas zu pragmatisch und nur auf den ersten Blick offensichtlich scheint mir aber der Fall des neuen Einspruchsgrundes Neuheit in Verbindung mit der ursprünglichen ausschließlichen Prüfung des Einspruchsgrundes der erfinderischen Tätigkeit zu sein. http://www.copat.de/download/si-grur97-156.pdf Somewhat too pragmatic and only obvious at first sight seems the relationship in the case of the fresh ground for opposition of lack of novelty with respect to the original sole ground of obviousness. http://www.copat.de/download/si-grur97en.pdf |
