Novelty is one of the most fundamental and important registration requirements in patent law. Lack of novelty constitutes anticipation. The doctrine of inherency is used to deny novelty of the claim in patent application or patent litigation in the United States. Claiming of a new use, new function or unknown property which is inherently present in the prior art does not necessarily make the claim patentable. The first U.S. Supreme Court decision pertaining to the doctrine of inherency was made in 1880, but it has been also debated in recent years. One of the reasons for this is that the two criteria of “recognizability” and “necessity” differ among the justices. On the other hand, in Japan, parameter inventions and functional claims are at issue recently, because some elements in the claims are not explicitly disclosed in the prior art. These issues would be closely related to the doctrine of inherency. In this paper, throughout the history of the U.S. judicial decision related to inherency, we investigate what is required for novelty.
