Here, the Examiner makes the following "specific fact finding," Ex parte Belinne, No. 2009-004693, 2009 WL 2477843, at *4 (BPAI Aug. 10, 2009) (informative), ... For their part, the Appellants do not address these findings. ... This argument puzzles us. It "do[es] not . . . explain why the Examiner's explicit fact finding is in error." Belinne, at *4.

"Obviousness is not to be determined on the basis of purpose alone." In re Graf, 343 F.2d 774 (CCPA 1965).
