Is There a Difference Between Non -Obviousness and Novelty?

i've always argued that if you see multiple people effectively inventing the same thing at the same time, that speaks to the obviousness of it. And a patent office should consider not granting a patent if you're getting tons of patents that are all your patent applications, all in the same thing on can either of you speak to the difference between non obviousness and a novelty inan the patent process? Yes, so m so, so mit, your your intuition is completely correct. There there are these two different requirements. There's, you know, it has to be new, and that's a test of whether or not you see the same invention described w in a paper somewhere else.
