On this basis, it was put forward that the novelty presumption, as a fact inference, actually represents the standard of proof with high degree of probability. Therefore, the base of presumption, judgment subject, process of presumption, consideration factors and conclusion grasp should be standardized, and the burden of proof should be allocated reasonably in order to avoid the interference of subjectivity.
