- Sommaire
If, in order to proceed from the known art to the invention one needs to take a series of steps and the last step is not proved to be known from the prior art nor is it derivable therefrom even though it appears at first sight to be a very simple one, the presence of an inventive step cannot in general reasonably be denied.
