novel design

Original creative approach

Novel design refers to something new, original, or previously unseen in how an object or system is conceived and constructed.

The phrase appears frequently in patent law, where novelty is a requirement for protection: The patent was granted based on the device's novel design.

In broader use, it simply means an innovative or fresh approach to creating something.
