ABSTRACT

Dear Reader,

Grant of patent is largely based on the prior and clear understanding of the patentability criteria more by the inventors than the applicants. Any perceived invention must meet the basic requirements of novelty and inventive steps. Novelty is easy to target as it requires only the absence of any exact replica of the perceived invention in prior art or any public domain including prior patents and patents applications. However the inventor is often at a loss to identify the inventiveness or non-obviousness in a potential project for patenting, because there is a vast information-base or prior art data to be scanned or screened to ensure that the perceived information is not likely to be obvious yo a person skilled in the art.
