Patent Law Terms

Teach Toward-Teach Away: A prior art reference that suggests or points in the direction of the present invention is said to teach toward the invention and is evidence that the invention is obvious. A prior-art reference that diverges and points in a technical direction away from the present invention is evidence that the invention is unobvious. Prior art must be looked at in its entirety.

Teach: To inform and instruct by way of the documents making up the prior art. The prior art references teach the technology disclosed in them or revealed by them.

Teaching Away: The situation in which a prior art reference suggests that a claimed invention is not possible.

Prior Art: Technology that was available prior to either the date of invention or the filing date of the application, depending on the patent office rule under consideration. Availability can be based on such factors as public use, secret sale, publication, public knowledge, etc. depending on the patent law of the jurisdiction in which the patent is being sought
