True, thanks. WIPO has made sure differences between national patent laws, if any, are minor.

What the Law requires for an inventive step?

a patent shall not be granted for an invention where a person ordinarily skilled in the art could have been easily make the invention based on the prior art at the time of filing. Thus, the law requires that a patentable invention should involve such an inventive step that the skilled person could not have made the invention based on the prior art at the time of filing.

Seeing as both nations are fascistic, they’ll lobby both judicials to get their way.

This is the case of buyers rewarding the abuser: conmerit emptor.
