Non Obvious Law and Legal Definition
The term non-obvious is used in United States law to describe a requirement that an invention must meet to qualify for patentability. If one obtains a new and unexpected result, the invention is said to be non obvious. “For an invention to be patentable it should not be obvious.” This means that a person having ordinary skill in the art would not know how to solve the problem at which the invention is directed by using exactly the same mechanism.
