Translation of "Erfinderische leistung" in English

Overall, standardization could advance world dynamic ef ficiency inducing greater innovative efforts.

The utility model unit does not examine whether your invention meets the requirements of novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability.

The three criteria that qualify an invention as subject to be patented are its novelty, utility and inventiveness, which are ultimately the grounds for the fundamental hypothesis that a patent represents a codification of inventive activity.

As mentioned earlier, the inventive step lies in defining these control characteristics contrary to the teaching of the physical characteristic curves.

In view of the large, practically indeterminable number of possible variations, the finding of special variation possibilities and of appropriate block copolymers represents a progress-amassing and thus inventive effort.

In view of the large, almost infinite, number of possible variations, the discovery of particularly effective specific structural parameters and appropriate block copolymers for the purposes of polyurethane production is an activity which represents considerable technical progress and is therefore inventive.

The “inventive” achievement of the Nuremberg mechanic Peter Henlein (born 1479/1480 Nuremberg died 1542 Nuremberg) lay in the miniaturisation of the traditional table clock.

How a skilled person without using his own inventive ability could have arrived at the claim's subject-matter by transferring features from D4 to a folding carton according to D2 is therefore not apparent.

Single genes can also receive a patent, but only if an "inventive effort" was made.

Thus, the inventive feat does not in fact comprise providing a specific nucleotide sequence, which is then to be converted in an identical manner to a corresponding nucleic acid molecule, but rather in providing basic sequences that serve as guiding structures for corresponding nucleic acid molecules with siRNA properties.

The person skilled in the art knows that the technical teaching according to claim 1 can be converted in a great variety of ways into concrete embodiments of magnetic closures, without an inventive activity being required for this purpose.

Therein, the special inventive step of the proposed method lies in the fact that the technical weathering of at least one substance containing minerals takes place on a much larger scale than in nature and also an enormous increase in weathering speed is achieved.

It is to be seen as an autonomous inventive step that the drill apparatus of the present invention is structurally simplified by the consistent use of standardized structural parts that are available from a supplier catalogue.

In view of the large, virtually inestimable number of possible variations, the discovery of specific structural parameters which are particularly effective with regard to polyurethane production, and of corresponding block copolymers, is a task which requires vision and hence one whose fulfillment represents an inventive achievement.

It is therefore considered an inventive step to suggest a gear box for drilling apparatuses, in particular for use in de-coking systems, which is formed as an open, greased gear-rim drive.

Companies like The Wind-Mill Ballet and The Wind-Mill Theatre need skillful and reliable employees, in this case managers and dancers, that solely and together can make an outstanding and innovative performance.

Single genes can also receive a patent, but only if an “inventive effort” was made.

PS: Companies like The Wind-Mill Ballet and The Wind-Mill Theatre need skillful and reliable employees, in this case managers and dancers, that solely and together can make an outstanding and innovative performance.

In the case in point the very realisation that, with a film made from an aqueous dispersion of film-forming organic synthetic resins, just by opening the film a reaction with components of a substantially higher molecular weight is possible than if the film is not "opened", may be regarded as an inventive step (compare also T 229/85 - OJ EPO 1987, 237).

In this case an effect whose scale surpassed the skilled person's hopes merely represented a bonus effect following inevitably from the use of an obvious measure and obtained by the skilled person without any inventive effort on his part (T 506/92, T 882/94).

The question arises as to inventive level and effort!

Account is also taken of the inventive step, the degree of inventive performance and the state of technology within the firm.

This was not an obvious step, which is why this technological solution amounts to a special inventive achievement.

Patent indicators – Science, technology and innovation – are used to measure inventive performance, diffusion of knowledge and internationalisation of innovative activities – across countries, firms, industries, technology areas, etc.

In evaluation the inventive steps of this concept, it is generally assumed that very high forces of friction would occur if the ball head was only slightly moved or turned against the ball socket. It is assumed that these forces of friction would make impossible a use, as in the present case, in which the ball socket moves relative to the shaft, but does not move at all or only slightly relative to the ball head.

The following explanations are understood as a description of an independent inventive step which should be protected in its own right.
