English term or phrase: be led as a matter of course
Contexte : demande de brevet

Comment comprenez-vous la phrase entre guillemets ?

For your information, a test for inventive step endorsed by the High Court of Australia is as follows:

"Would the notional research group at the relevant date in all the circumstances ... directly be led as a matter of course to try [the claimed invention] in the expectation that it might well produce a useful [desired result]?"

Merci pour votre aide.

neutral  Attorney DC Bar: yes for the first part, but 'as a matter of course' doesn't mean 'en consequence', but something more like 'systematiquement' or 'naturellement'or 'automatiquement'...

  -> Je voulais écrire au début "en conséquence logique" et je reconnais que "systématiquement convient le mieux à défaut de "automatiquement" que recommandent les dictionnaires bilingues anglais-français
agree  GILLES MEUNIER
5 hrs
  -> ma réponse est correcte Gilou sous réserve d'écrire "en conséquence logique" je pense ou de remplacer cette locution par "systématiquement" comme me le fait judicieusement remarquer Rufinus!
