Knowledge and novelty of the listener
https://gyazo.com/55ea3e37a53af858867a2f18262e1979
Knowledge of the listener is represented by a large circle.
change is represented by an arrow.
A
If the starting and ending points of the change are within the knowledge of the listener
The listener feels that there is "no novelty (patentability)"
B
If the starting point of the change is within the listener's knowledge and the ending point is outside the range
Listeners feel "novelty".
C
If the starting and ending points of the change are outside the scope of the listener's knowledge
Listeners feel "unfamiliar".
Whether the listener perceives it as "novelty" or not (Subjective novelty) depends on the listener's knowledge.
The problem arises when this listener is in a position to decide on the evaluation of the change.
Problems arise when raters rate C lower than B
