level of invention/inventivity
Explanation:
The level of invention disclosures and formal patent applications reflects the initial registry of innovative ideas or inventions with commercial potential.

The overriding consideration in this context is in the first place the disclosed content of the European patent specification, that is to say what a person skilled in the art is able to infer from the patent claims, description and the drawings, if any, without reflection as to inventivity.

It's inventive step, like Cillian proposed

Explanation:
inventiveness is used in German patent courts but inventive step is the International and European expression. Please check the EPC = European Patent Convention, in German EPÜ Europäisches Patentübereinkommen.

neutral Mag_RaWa: das stimmt insofern "erfinderische Tätigkeit" (inventive step) die neue off. Bezeichnung für Erfindungshöhe ist, da wir aber den Kontext nicht kennen u. nicht die neue Bezeichnung (e. T) gefragt war, fand ich meinen Vorschlag richtiger.
