This term is fundamental in intellectual property law in both the USA and Brazil. In the United States, patentability is governed by the USPTO and requires compliance with 35 U.S.C. sections. In Brazil, the INPI (Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial) evaluates patentable claims under the Brazilian Industrial Property Law (Lei 9.279/1996). Patent professionals and inventors frequently work with patent examiners to ensure claims are patentable before patent grant.
