Hindsight is the recognition the realities, possibilities, or requirements of something after it has happened[1] and is the cause of many forms of cognitive bias.[2] In patent law, hindsight is the reconstruction of an invention from "knowledge gleaned only from applicant's disclosure" and is an improper way of finding that the invention would have been obvious.[3]
