.  It is not enough to say that there would have been a reason to combine two references because to do so would ‘have been obvious to one of ordinary skill.’  Such circular reasoning is not sufficient—more is needed to sustain an obviousness rejection.”  In re Chaganti, 554 F. App’x 917, 922 (Fed. Cir. 2014).  We have also recently been instructed that “obviousness concerns whether a skilled artisan not only could have made but would have been motivated to make the combinations or modifications of prior art to arrive at the claimed invention.”  Belden Inc., v. Berk-Tek LLC, Nos. 2014-1575, 2014-1576, 2015 WL 6756451, at *5 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 5, 2015) (citing InTouch Techs., Inc. v. VGO Commc’ns, Inc., 751 F.3d 1327, 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2014)).

Appellants contend that Vanbragt is nonanalogous art with respect to the claimed invention and Rice (App. Br. 4).

Two separate tests define the scope of analogous prior art: (1) whether the art is from the same endeavor, regardless of the problem addressed and, (2) if the reference is not within the field of the inventor’s endeavor, whether the reference still is reasonably pertinent to the particular problem with which the inventor is involved.
