What is the Concept of Unity of Invention? | IP Conversations

Why? What? When? How? These are some of the most used words in John’s dictionary. He’s pretty curious about the workings behind what happens in his life, and many of those have to do with the inventions and the workings of intellectual property in the world around him.

Recently, John has learned a lot more about the patent examination stage, where the patent office scrutinizes applications to see if they fulfil all the criteria laid out in the patent act. He already knows about Novelty, Inventive Step, Industrial Applicability and Allowable Subject Matter, but he has a few questions about what examiners call the Unity of Invention. IP Geek answers.
