English term or phrase: Novelty
"a) novelty of the delivered goods on all the territories where the goods will be applied." [sic]
Do they mean "unused" or the "latest model"? To me "novelty" in English means something very different.

novelty does not mean latest model,

previous model may be the novelty in the case of some markets at the same time the latest model is sold in some other country/market

novelty
"prvý produkt svojho druhu na trhu"


Explanation:
This would be my suggestion and this is how I understand the original sentence.

IMO, the text says it must be ensured that the product is "new to the market" (that nothing similar was/is sold at the market). Apparently, they don't want to sell/promote the product at markets where there already are products of the same kind.

Notes to answerer
Asker: It's a big time translation from translation. Not a single sentence makes sense. PM can't get hold of the client so trying my luck elsewhere. Thanks for all ideas.
