With respect to the Examiner’s findings regarding the sleeves of Wittke-Kothe, omitting an element and its function in a combination where the remaining elements perform the same functions is generally considered as involving only routine skill in the art. In re Karlson, 311 F.2d 581, 584 (CCPA 1963). However, in the instant case, the Examiner does not find, and neither do we, that Wittke-Kothe’s sleeves can be omitted without affecting the operability of the device.

The Federal Circuit has pointed out that in a proper obvious to try approach to obviousness, the possible options for solving a problem must have been “known and finite.” Rolls-Royce, PLC v. United Techs. Corp., 603 F.3d 1325, 1339 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (citing Abbott Labs. v. Sandoz, Inc., 544 F.3d 1341, 1351 (Fed. Cir. 2008)). In other words, the obvious to try rationale can properly be used to support a conclusion of obviousness only when the claimed solution would have been selected from a finite number of potential solutions known to persons of ordinary skill in the art.
