Also, it is not clear from the showing relied upon in the Specification whether the asserted improvement in performance results are due to the employment of the claimed pre-sizing agent consisting of an epoxy resin or the combination forming the pre-sizing agents discussed on pages 36—37 of the Specification (i.e., Epikote 828, Epikote 1001 and Pluronic F88). In re Heyna, 360 F.2d 222, 228 (CCPA 1966); In re Dunn, 349 F.2d 433, 439 (CCPA 1965) (“While we do not intend to slight the alleged improvements, we do not feel it an unreasonable burden on appellants to require comparative examples relied on for non-obviousness to be truly comparative. The cause and effect sought to be proven is lost here in the welter of unfixed variables.”).

Because there are many ways in which a reference may be disseminated to the interested public, "public accessibility‟ has been called the touchstone in determining whether a reference constitutes a "printed publication‟ bar under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b). . . . The proponent of the publication bar must show that prior to the critical date the reference was sufficiently accessible, at least to the public interested in the art, so that such a one by examining the reference could make the claimed invention without further research or experimentation.

Applicable precedent requires an applicant attempting to show unexpected results to establish its case with clear and convincing evidence. In re Heyna, 360 F.2d 222, 228 (CCPA 1966) ("It was incumbent upon appellants to submit clear and convincing evidence to support their allegation of unexpected property."). See also McClain v. Ortmayer, 141 U.S. 419, 429 (1891) (conclusive evidence needed to establish new function); In re Passal, 426 F.2d 409, 412 (CCPA 1970) ("Certainly, at least, that 'clear and convincing evidence' of unexpected properties required by this court in In re Lohr . . . is lacking.") and In re Lohr, 317 F.2d 388, 392 (CCPA 1963)( "When a new compound so closely related to a prior art compound as to be structurally obvious is sought to be patented based on the alleged greater effectiveness of the new compound for the same purpose as the old compound, clear and convincing evidence of substantially greater effectiveness is needed.")
