Can I register a patent
Is it possible to register a patent when I take two well known products and use them for a specific purpose which is needed desparately all over the world
I don't see this combination in use, inspite of it's dire need

Dear Frank,
The answer is clearly yes if the new product is novel and non-obvious, even if all its components are known.
Please pay particular attention that if you're granted such patent, you'll have exclusive rights over the new product (against a 3rd party), but if you wish to sell the product yourself, you may be also blocked by the owners of the patents which make the components. There are many possible nuances, and you should consult with a patent attorney to look at the details and consult you best.
Best regards,
Gad

That's the point !! each product isn't novel at all - Maybe the combination has a slightly novel aspect - it simply isn't being used for
the specific purpose I want to register it for
This is very surprising as I'm sure that it would have world wide interest if protected by a patent
Thanks Frank
Dear Frank,
Allow me to clarify. The test for novelty and non-obviousness is going to be applied against the new product (in its integrity), not against each component individually.
A classic example can be the all-in-1 printer / scanner / photocopier. Printers, scanners, photocopiers may be known (and patented) but if you create an all-in-1 machine that does the same 3 functions in a single machine, the new product has several advantages compared to 3 separate products: smaller, consumes less electricity etc/ and thus can be patented/
