- The property of being easy to see and understand
- The inventive step and non-obviousness reflect a same general patentability requirement present in most patent laws, according to which an invention should be sufficiently inventive -- i.e., non-obvious -- in order to be patented.
- The characteristic of being obvious
- The concept that the claims defining an invention in a patent application must involve an inventive step if, when compared with what is already known (i.e. prior art), it would not be obvious to someone skilled in the art.
- Even if an invention does not include each and every element of a prior art reference, arranged in just the same way, the invention may nevertheless be obvious.
- [patent]. A condition of non-patentability in which an invention cannot receive a valid patent because a person with ordinary skill in that technology can readily deduce it from publicly available information (prior art).
