An invention needs to be new.

Otherwise it is not an invention.

At least this is the main principle upon which patents are granted in 
Germany.

The US-patent office is based upon a slightly different principle.

The main principle is that of a 'claim', which is occupied by some company.

This difference can also be found in the difference between US copyright 
and German 'Urheberrecht'.

German Urheberrecht is not based on any kind of registration, but 
automatically granted to the creator of some sort of art.

And patents can not be registered in Germany, if the invention isn't 
new, whether 'prior art' is registered, patended or just published in a 
magazine.

This is a huge difference, because no formal registration of prior art 
is necessary.

In contrast the US patent is mainly a claim and 'occupied' by whatever 
dirty means necessary.
