2. In order to be patentable an invention must fulfill several requirements.
These requirements may be broadly classified as novelty, utility (industrial application) and non-obviousness (inventive step).
Furthermore, an invention may be patented only if it fits into one of the statutory classes of subject matter protected by the national law.
Other legal requirements also exist, such as the necessity for providing an enabling disclosure.
