What and who determines if an invention is patentable?

An invention is patentable if it is novel, not obvious to any one who is considered skillful in the field of your invention, and has utility. It must also teach how the invention can be practiced such that others who are considered skillful in the field of your invention can use the invention without undue experimentation. Ultimately, it is the patent examiner in the patent office who will determine whether an invention sufficiently satisfies the above requirements and allows a patent to be issued.
