English term or phrase: patentability
Definition from Delphion:
The ability of an invention to satisfy the legal requirements for obtaining a patent, including novelty. In some countries certain types of inventions, e.g. computer software and plants, may be unpatentable.

Example sentence(s):
  • The TRIPS agreement not only sets the basic standard for patentability, but also obliges member states to patent micro-organisms as well as micro-biological processes, which shall be dealt in the following pages. students.indlaw.com
  • There is, at present, no clear definition of what constitutes a "business method" or what makes it different from other types of methods. The traditional view in Europe is that patents protect technical inventions, and "business", being non-technical, therefore should be excluded from patentability. However, with the rise of e-commerce, it has become more difficult to define the boundary between "technical" and "non-technical". This in turn has led to an increase in the number of software patents and business method patents in Europe. ius mentis
  • While the criteria for obtaining a patent may appear subjective, in fact, the criteria for patentability is fairly objective and well defined in patent law. To meet the litmus test of patentability, an idea must satisfy a three-pronged test of novelty, non-obviousness, and utility. Ezine articles

patentoitavuus


Definition from own experience or research:
Patentti on lakiin perustuva määräaikainen oikeus kieltää muita käyttämästä keksintöä ammattimaisesti hyväksi patentin myöntäneen valtion alueella. Patentoitavuus tarkoittaa sitä, että menetelmä on suojatettavissa patentilla

Example sentence(s):
  • Kaikkien keksintöjen ja erityisesti tietokoneella toteutettujen keksintöjen patentoitavuus edellyttää, että ne ovat uusia, keksinnöllisiä ja teollisesti käyttökelpoisia. - European Parliament  
  • Bioteknologisten keksintöjen patentoitavuus EY:n direktiivi 98/44/EY bioteknologian keksintöjen oikeudellisesta suojasta saatettiin Suomessa voimaan 15.7.2000 patenttilain ja kasvinjalostajanoikeudesta annetun lain muutoksella. Direktiivin säännökset on sisällytetty hyvin pitkälti sellaisenaan Suomen patenttilakiin. - Finnish Bioindustries  
  • PCT-järjestelmän etuja ovat toisaalta hakemuksen keskitetty käsittely ja toisaalta kansallisiin ja alueellisiin hakemuksiin liittyvien kustannuksien siirtyminen ajankohtaan, jolloin keksinnön patentoitavuus ja taloudellinen arvo ovat paremmin tiedossa. - Forssén & Salomaa  

Explanation:
Patentti on lakiin perustuva määräaikainen oikeus kieltää muita käyttämästä keksintöä ammattimaisesti hyväksi patentin myöntäneen valtion alueella. Patentoitavuus johtuu siitä, että asia on patentoitava.
