När uppfinningar berör det lågteknologiska området, såsom det mekaniska, utgörs genomsnittsfackmannen av maximalt två personer. Är komplexitetsnivån hos uppfinningen dessutom relativt låg pekar studien på att genomsnittsfackmannen sannolikt utgörs av en person. En god vana när det gäller att avgöra erforderlig kunskapsnivå hos fackmannen är då att snegla på hur teknikerna i realiteten arbetar inomRegarding the area of low technologies, i.e. the mechanical, the person skilled in the art consists of two persons. If the level of complexity of the invention is low, this study indicates that the person skilled in the art consists of only one person. Preferably, when determining the level of knowledge of the skilled person, one should glance at the technicians in the relevant field and the knowl

Risk communication is an interactive process which aims to reduce public concerns about health- and environmental risks through gaining trust and confidence. PFASs (Polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances) is more addressed today amongst Swedish municipalities because there are concern for surface- and groundwater pollution and concern about long-term health risks. This study aims to invest
