French term

l’art antérieur (patents)

French to English Law/Patents Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright
I'm having a trouble coming up with the right phrasing (or equivalent catchphrase if there is one) for this term in these two examples... Thanks in advance for your help!

Si les traitements vétérinaires incluant des antibiotiques à effet prolongé et un anti-inflammatoire présentent l’avantage de diminuer le stress de l’animal (bovin au cas particulier) et de réduire la charge de travail du fermier, pareille association était parfaitement connue de *l’art antérieur.*

and:

De plus, il n’a fait l’objet d’aucune procédure d’opposition devant l’Office Européen des Brevets (ci-après OEB) et a été délivré sans faire référence aux documents de *l’art antérieur* réellement pertinents quant à l’examen de sa validité.
