China’s SPC offers guidance on identifying technical problems actually solved in inventiveness assessments
The non-obviousness of a claimed invention to persons skilled in the art hinges on whether the prior art provides motivation for applying the distinguishing features of the invention to the closest prior art so as to solve the actual technical problem to be solved. If the technical problems actually solved by the invention are over-generalised, it will fail to identify the accurate improvement of the invention relative to the prior art, thus leading to an erroneous conclusion of obviousness.
