Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright / appeal of rejected patent application / Spain | | Spanish term or phrase: el estado de la técnica [más próximo] | This term is used throughout the document in question, which is an appeal of a rejected patent appliation. A previous Kudoz query received the suggestions of "state of the art" and "state of technology," neither of which fit here. Instead, the term seems to refer to a stage or some process in the development of the drug in question.
My provisional translation is "developmental stage."
Here are some instances of the term's use throughout the document:
Esta baja solubilidad que era conocida en el estado de la técnica hacía necesaria la combinación del Milagromere® con un agente surfactant y etanol.
*
Este punto es un hito dentro del estado de la técnica puesto que se podían preparer soluciones de perfusion con elevada cantidad de principio activo….
*
Wolfgang von Uberwasser ha desarrollado “una aproximación a la solución del problema” basado en:
a) Determinar el estado de la técnica más próximo
b) Identificar el problema técnico objetivo solucionado por la invención a la luz del estado de la técnica más próximo.
c) Considerar si la invención tal como se define en sus reivindicaciones habría sido obvia para el experto en la materia a partir del estado de la técnica más próximo teniendo en cuenta el problema técnico. |
