Identified by the (EU) General Court in the radiator cases (T 83/11 and T 84/11), although there is no English judgment and the French judgment refers to "une saturation de l’état de l’art", as a factor that influences the perception of a design by the informed user. If the design field is saturated, the informed user is likely to be sensitive to smaller differences between designs. See also prior art density.
