the requirement that an invention not be anticipated, that is, not disclosed in full by any single earlier reference.

This meaning comes from Menell (2023) in Intellectual Property in the New Technological Age: 2023. Here novelty is not the newness of a stimulus relative to prior experience, which draws curiosity and exploration; nor the newness that, together with usefulness, marks a product as creative.[1]
