How Do IP Experts Assess Patentability in Catalysis?
IP experts assess the patentability of catalytic inventions by evaluating:
1. Novelty: Whether the invention is new and has not been disclosed in prior art. 2. Inventive Step (Non-Obviousness): Whether the invention involves an inventive step that is not obvious to someone skilled in the field of catalysis. 3. Industrial Applicability: Whether the invention can be used in an industrial application.
To make these assessments, IP experts conduct thorough prior art searches and analyze scientific literature, patents, and other relevant documents.
