Notes to answerer
Asker: There was no artwork prior to this, as it is the beginning of the document. I think prior art as in estado de la técnica is closer.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Paul Merriam: I think it's more likely to be a calque of "prior art", which I've seen called "estado de la técnica", though I don't know how standard that is. But Ms. Archer has the document.

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: It most likely refers to "prior art," as Paul says.
