Not every operating system will fit your specific use case though, so it is necessary to choose one that has been optimized to serve your purpose. </p>Oct 09 07:31

schestowitz"You are absolutely right, defining the « art » of the skilled person is the crux of the debate regarding the closest prior art. Saying that the closest prior art is supposed to relate to a use or purpose similar to the claimed subject matter implies that it belongs to the « art ».  This tends to refer  the « art » to a context of use, more than to a broadly defined technical field. If I take the example of a capacitor designed foOct 09 13:57
schestowitzr high voltage grids, the skilled person is skilled in the art of high voltage grids. Any design choice is controlled by the high voltage context.<br /><br />I think it makes sense to refer to the « art » in the assesment of inventive step First, for the simple reason that this is the notion laid out by the explicit language of the EPC. The term « not obvious » is so vague in itself that it is meaningless without a definition of theOct 09 13:57
schestowitz art (and of the skill level) of the skilled person. In addition, beyond the identification of the CPA, the identification of the « art » is key to understand the « technical problem ». I note here that the use of the singular form for the « problem » although it is general is grossly simplistic. This is so because in any art, the « problem » is not just about obtaining a very specific effect, it also requires the host of constrOct 09 13:57
schestowitzaints relevant to this art (and thus known to the skilled person), often implicit in the application, to be met for the purported effect to be achieved. This is a very important consideration in the assesment of inventive step, as the skilled person  would not consider prior art which fails to meet these constraints. Which is why my general recommendation for drafting practice is to carefully document in the application the context of uOct 09 13:57

I have always been struck by how narrowly specialised the real-life skilled people are. This tends to be ignored of course by examiners but also by practitioners in private practice.<br /><Oct 09 13:57
schestowitzbr />This reminds me of a story. I was involved long time ago in meetings between experts of different fields : the car industry and the oilfield industry (which requires equipment fit for use in the high temperature, very high pressure environment of deep wells). The expectation was to share information regarding electronics compatible with high temperatures. But it became clear very quickly that no common ground could be found, becausOct 09 13:57
