A patent can be a very important asset for a company. However, the path to obtaining one is often challenging. Only inventions that are completely new and demonstrate an inventive step are granted a patent. Therefore, the key criteria for patent grant are novelty and inventive step.

The justification of the inventive step regularly determines the outcome of the examination proceedings before the patent offices--the German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) and the European Patent Office (EPO)--and in contentious cases before the Federal Patent Court (BPatG).
