Nell'ambito dei brevetti il "contesto tecnico" che descrive la tecnica anteriore/attuale (con descrizione degli svantaggi ecc. ma senza riferimento ad altri brevetti) potrebbe essere "background art" in inglese?

technical field
Explanation:
È la mia proposta, dato che il termine viene utilizzato sia per designare una delle sezioni per la domanda di brevetto europea, che come il criterio per la classificazione dei brevetti. Spero di esserti stato d'aiuto.

Explanation:
Il termine italiano "contesto" può avere diverse accezioni. Letteralmente la traduzione in inglese è context, ma se si fa riferimento, ad esempio, ad un "contesto storico" si parla di historical backgroud. Per questo propongo la traduzione "technical context". Saluti. Roberto
