Non-obviousness Law and Legal Definition
Under the patent law non-obviousness is a requirement for obtaining a patent. An invention will meet the requirement of non obviousness if it would be viewed as an unexpected or surprising development by someone skilled in the technology of the particular field. It should be so non obvious that a person having ordinary skill in the field would not know how to solve the problem at which the invention is directed by using exactly the same mechanism.
