precedent Explanation: Though antériorité can mean prior property rights, I wonder whether here it is literary precedence that they are talking about, particularly given the bit about quality and banalité. |

complete anticipation Explanation: This is the term used in patent law. The idea is that for complete anticipation to exist, all of the elements of the claimed invention must be present in the same arrangement in a single prior art disclosure. Here is a definition in French: En droit français, la jurisprudence a interprété très rigoureusement cette notion, en exigeant «une antériorité de toutes pièces » définie comme celle qui reprend les éléments principaux de l’invention dans un agencement identique. L’antériorité doit être entière, c’est-à-dire divulguer l’invention dans les éléments essentiels qui la constituent, certaine sur le contenu de la matière divulguée et sur la date de l’accessibilité au public et suffisante, c’est-à-dire révélant les moyens de l’invention de façon suffisamment claire pour qu’elle puisse être reproduite. (page 10) http://www.lex-electronica.org/docs/articles_10.pdf And here is an EPO document with three parallel texts: Contrary to the requirements for establishing novelty, it was unnecessary here to find a document constituting complete anticipation and it was permissible to consider various aspects as a whole (Commercial Division of the Cour de cassation, 15 November 1994). En effet, contrairement à l'appréciation de la nouveauté, il ne s'agit pas de rechercher une antériorité de toutes pièces et peut donc être pris en considération le regroupement d'éléments divers (Cass. Com, 15 novembre 1994). (page 134 [141 of 321]) http://archive.epo.org/epo/pubs/oj009/05_09/special_edition_... |
