In this sentence how can we translate "notion d'antériorité" in English?

.......l'ensemble des caractéristiques du modèle ABC qu'elle oppose dans le cadre de la présente instance en contrefaçon et qu'aucun d'entre eux ne constitue donc une antériorité de toute pièce, il convient néanmoins de rappeler que la notion d'antériorité est indifférente en droit d'auteur, seule la preuve du caractère original étant exigée comme condition de l'octroi de la protection au titre du livre I du Code de la Propriété Intellectuelle;


Please help.

concept/idea of priority/prior art
Explanation:
From the example it looks like there is a comparison with the idea of priority/prior art in patent law, hence I would suggest that this might be the term here. An alternative might be "state of the art", which is also used in patent law to mean what already exists, but does not suggest that someone actually claims it in the way that "priority" does.

concept of prior use


Explanation:
"The concept of prior use in patent law is therefore most often encountered where a patent application is alleged to be invalid because it is not novel or inventive as the invention claimed was available prior to the filing date as an embodiment was available to the public."
