patentability

/pˌæʔn̩ɾəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The state or condition of being patentable.

Word Origin 'Patent' comes from Latin 'patere', meaning to be open. A patent is an open letter granting exclusive rights — it's a public document. 'Patentability' is the quality of being able to be patented. The root also gives us 'patio' (an open courtyard) and 'patina' (the open, spreading layer on old bronze). So patentability is about being open to protection.
