pathology of inventive step requirement in patents system

Inventive Activities, Patents and

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of recent research on the role of patent systems in the early phases of industrialization. Perhaps surprisingly, no consensus has been reached yet as to whether the emergence of modern patent systems exerted a favourable impact on inventive activities. However, the recent literature has shed light on a number of fundamental factors which affect th...

Analysis of Construction Inventive Patents Based on Triz

In this research, a specific category of construction technologies, e.g., formwork, is selected for case study. 40 invention principles and 39 engineering parameters were applied with contradiction matrix to find out the “improving” and “deteriorating” parameters for a design case. By consulting the contradiction matrix, innovative principles can be found. It is concluded that TRIZ provides an ...

Obviousness and Inventive Step -New Differences

In a paper resented at the Fordham Conference two years ago, I asked the question when considering the requirement of non-obviousness or inventive step in patent law is “what is the requirement for?”. Implicit in the question was the idea that these requirements had the same purpose. Internationally, it has been agreed that the term “non-obvious” used in the United States statute and possession...

Empirical evidence on the inventive step

The height of the inventive step is critical in balancing the costs and benefits of patent systems. This empirical analysis assesses this, using the economic yardstick of how much new knowledge is required for patent grant. But examiners and courts ask a different question – is it obvious? This creates a much lower standard, reinforced by continual amendment, semantic minutiae and the suggestio...

synthesis of platinum nanostructures in two phase system

چکیده پلاتین، فلزی نجیب، پایدار و گران قیمت با خاصیت کاتالیزوری زیاد است که کاربرد های صنعتی فراوانی دارد. کمپلکس های پلاتین(ii) به عنوان دارو های ضد سرطان شناخته شدند و در شیمی درمانی بیماران سرطانی کاربرد دارند. خاصیت کاتالیزوری و عملکرد گزینشی پلاتین مستقیماً به اندازه و- شکل ماده ی پلاتینی بستگی دارد. بعضی از نانو ذرات فلزی در سطح مشترک مایع- مایع سنتز شده اند، اما نانو ساختار های پلاتین ب...
