NOVELTY

## 6. Evaluate Inventive Step

Definition of inventive step:

An invention involves an inventive step if it would not have been obvious to a person skilled in the art considering the existing state of the art.

Evaluate:

- Whether the solution would be obvious to a skilled practitioner.
- Whether the invention represents a meaningful technical leap.
- Whether the combination of known elements produces a non-obvious result.

Provide detailed reasoning for the conclusion.

It is acceptable to determine that the invention lacks an inventive step if justified.

Output this analysis in a section titled:

INVENTIVE STEP
