German term or phrase: neuheitsrelevanter Stand der Technik
Bei der WO-Anmeldung handelt es sich um neuheitsrelevanten Stand der Technik für das Klagepatent.

Gibt es für "neuheitsrelevanter Stand der Technik" eine gängige Entsprechung oder sollte man hier eher umschreibend übersetzen?

Vielen Dank vorab!

prior art relevant to novelty
Explanation:
Prior art is the technical term of choice in patent law (100% confident).

Neuheit is "novelty" in IP law.

You can ask Astrid E. Johnson, a very experienced GER to ENG IP specialist translator with professional experience working as a legal secretary and translator at a major German law firm. She will only confirm the above.
