As Appellant argues (Appeal Br. 5), however, the Examiner’s reliance on Dulberg to establish the prima facie obviousness of such a modification is misplaced. At issue in Dulberg was whether a prior art disclosure of a cap pressfitted over the end of an assembly rendered obvious a manually removable cap in a similar assembly. In re Dulberg, 289 F.2d 522, 523 (CCPA1961). The court indicated that “[w]hether a cap is manually removable depends upon whether it is desired to gain ready access to the space covered by the cap. If it were considered desirable for any reason to obtain access to the end . . . it would be obvious to make the cap removable for that purpose.” Id. Unlike Dulberg, the Examiner’s proposed modification in the present case involves dividing Overton’s single water-swellable element/tape 14 into two distinct parts or pieces, rather than making two separate elements manually separable instead of press-fitted. Dulberg is thus factually distinct from the present case. In addition, the Examiner does not provide any reason in the Final Action for why one of ordinary skill in the art would have considered it desirable to divide Overton’s water-swellable element/tape 14 into two separate water-swellable element/tapes 14.
