In theory that is true. In practice, I have seen quite a number of patents
on things obvious or totally derivative of other patents. It's amazing what
some people can get patents on. IMO it all depends on whether you get a
competent patent examiner or not. Seems like they are few and far between
these days. Overworked and underpaid, I suppose.
