|---|---|---|
| 1. Novelty (New Invention) | Invention must not have been published anywhere in the world or disclosed in public prior to filing date. | Avoids prior publication & public use rejections under Section 13. |
| 2. Inventive Step (Non-Obviousness) | Feature that involves technical advance or economic significance non-obvious to a person skilled in the art. | Prevents obviousness rejections based on combining existing patents. |
