The Examiner’s finding that the claimed configuration would be obvious “should the additional focusing be desired,” standing alone, is insufficient to establish a prima facie case of obviousness. “[I]t can be important to identify a reason that would have prompted a person of ordinary skill in the relevant field to combine the elements in the way the claimed new invention does.” KSR Int’l v. Teleflex Inc., 550 U.S. 398, 418 (2007).
