Is a technology's "novelty" determined internationally, or only regarding US patents?

質問

Hi! We are a small team of MEMS engineers based in Austin, TX. We are launching a company focusing on smart systems tech.

Regarding IP protection, would a patent be our best choice? Regarding the "novelty" of the technology, does this take into account developments in other countries, or only patents in the country in which our patent would have effect, meaning the US?

Yes, patents would be your best choice for protecting your smart systems tech. Regarding "novelty," the prior response is correct in that all publications are considered.
