Although “[a] person of ordinary skill in the art is also a person of ordinary creativity, not an automaton,” KSR 550 at 421, there may be limits in a particular case as to how much gap-filling may be based on such creativity. See Arendi S.A.R.L. v. Apple Inc., 832 F.3d 1355, 1361–63 (Fed. Cir. 2016). As stated in Arendi: 

Though less common, in appropriate circumstances, a patent can be obvious in light of a single prior art reference if it would have been obvious to modify that reference to arrive at the patented invention. See, e.g., Takeda Chem. Indus., Ltd. v. Alphapharm Pty, Ltd., 492 F.3d 1350, 1357 (Fed. Cir. 2007); SIBIA Neurosciences, Inc. v. Cadus Pharm. Corp., 225 F.3d 1349, 1356 (Fed. Cir. 2000). 

Here, the Examiner has not sufficiently identified supporting evidence why one of ordinary skill in the art would, based on the teaching or suggestion of Cerrelli, add a physical connection via a USB cable while still utilizing the wireless connection to transfer data between the host device and the SSD device.

A claim can be obvious even where all of the claimed features are not found in specific prior art references, where “there is a showing of a suggestion or motivation to modify the teachings of [the prior art] to the claimed invention.” SIBIA Neurosciences, Inc. v. Cadus Pharm. Corp., 225 F.3d 1349,1356 (Fed. Cir. 2000) (concluding that patent would have been obvious in light of teachings in prior art which provided motivation and suggestion to modify existing techniques to arrive at method in question).

Ormco Corp. v. Align Tech., Inc., 463 F.3d 1299, 1307 (Fed. Cir. 2006).

However, “[e]ven when obviousness is based on a single prior art reference, there must be a showing of a suggestion or motivation to modify the teachings of that reference.” In re Kotzab, 217 F.3d 1365, 1370 (Fed. Cir. 2000).

“The mere fact that the prior art may be modified in the manner suggested by the Examiner does not make the modification obvious unless the prior art suggested the desirability of the modification.” In re Fritch, 972 F.2d 1260, 1266 (Fed. Cir. 1992).
