German term

(St. D. Technik)

German to English Tech/Engineering Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright
This abbreviation occurs at the bottom of some electrical circuit diagrams in the drawings accompanying a patent application. It seems familiar, but my mind won't cough up the right info here for some reason. Any help appreciated.

-- "prior art" is of course correct here.

aha! Stand der Technik, of course ... I guess I need a nap or something. Thanks! I'll wait the recommended 24 hours to grade.

The translation of course is either state of the art as Johanna suggested, or, in patent applications \"prior art\"
