Novelty,Innovation And Invention?

During last week class, we have been thought about novelty, innovation, and invention. So, i've found all meaning for these. Below are the description for these three terms..

Novelty
For this word, i found the meaning from Wikipedia, which means
the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals. It also refers to something novel; that which is striking, original or unusual. The term can have pejorative sense and refer to a mere innovation.

Innovation
The second point to consider is the innovation. This term in Wikipedia, means a new way of doing something. It may refer to incremental, radical, and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. According to http://www.realinnovation.com/content/what_is_innovation.asp, an innovation can be big or small. Brand-new or just a bit different, it doesn’t matter. An innovation can be clearly complex or seemingly simple. Innovations are often thought of in terms of technical achievement, but can also be a design. The type, industry and style of innovation are irrelevant; an innovation’s impact determines its qualification.

Invention

As usual, lets start finding the definition via Wikipedia first. An invention is the creation of a new configuration, composition of matter, device, or process. Some inventions are based on pre-existing models or ideas. Other inventions are radical breakthroughs which may extend the boundaries of human knowledge or experience.
