Although the MPEP explains that separating two parts may have been obvious, the MPEP provides that there must be a desirable reason to do so. See MPEP § 2144.V.C (“The claimed structure, a lipstick holder with a removable cap, was fully met by the prior art except that in the prior art the cap is ‘press fitted’ and therefore not manually removable. The court held that ‘if it were considered desirable for any reason to obtain access to the end of [the prior art’s] holder to which the cap is applied, it would be obvious to make the cap removable for that purpose.’” (quoting In re Dulberg, 289 F.2d 522, 523 (CCPA 1961)) (emphasis added)). ...

See Dulberg, 289 F.2d at 523 (holding that it would have been obvious to separate two parts “if it were considered desirable for any reason”);

As Appellant argues (Appeal Br. 5), however, the Examiner’s reliance on Dulberg to establish the prima facie obviousness of such a modification is misplaced. At issue in Dulberg was whether a prior art disclosure of a cap pressfitted over the end of an assembly rendered obvious a manually removable cap in a similar assembly. In re Dulberg, 289 F.2d 522, 523 (CCPA1961). The court indicated that “[w]hether a cap is manually removable depends upon whether it is desired to gain ready access to the space covered by the cap. If it were considered desirable for any reason to obtain access to the end . . . it would be obvious to make the cap removable for that purpose.” Id. Unlike Dulberg, the Examiner’s proposed modification in the present case involves dividing Overton’s single water-swellable element/tape 14 into two distinct parts or pieces, rather than making two separate elements manually separable instead of press-fitted. Dulberg is thus factually distinct from the present case. In addition, the Examiner does not provide any reason in the Final Action for why one of ordinary skill in the art would have considered it desirable to divide Overton’s water-swellable element/tape 14 into two separate water-swellable element/tapes 14.

We must, if possible, treat the term "human" as specifying the detection; whereas the Examiner's claim construction does not. See Merck & Co. v. Teva Pharms. USA, Inc., 395 F.3d 1364, 1372 (Fed. Cir. 2005) ("A claim construction that gives meaning to all the terms in a claim is preferred over one that does not do so.").

The Examiner contends that, according to In re Dulberg, 289 F.2d 522 (CCPA 1961), “constructing a formerly integral structure [into] various elements involves only routine skill in the art.” (Final Act. 6–7.)

 We are persuaded by the Appellants’ argument that the Examiner does not establish why one of ordinary skill in the art would have an apparent reason to cut Lu’s rubber pad into separate parts. (See Appeal Br. 18–25.) In the Dulberg case cited by the Examiner, the claimed lipstick holder had a removable cap. (Dulberg, 289 F.2d at 523.) The court held that “[i]f it were considered desirable for any reason” to allow access to the capped area of the prior art lipstick holder, “it would be obvious to make the cap removable for that purpose.” ( Id. at 523 (emphases added).) Here, the Examiner does not explain, sufficiently, why it would be “considered desirable for any reason” to cut Lu’s rubber pad into separate pieces.

The Examiner sets forth an alternative rationale: that the separation of elements is a design consideration within the skill of the art. Ans. 9 (citing In re Dulberg, 289 F.2d 522 (CCPA 1961)). However, as Appellants point out (Reply Br. 3-4), in Dulberg it was held obvious to make a press fit cap removable because there was a particular reason to make the cap removable: to gain access to the end of the tube upon which the cap was secured. See Dulberg, 289 F.2d at 523. In this case, however, the Examiner has not identified a valid reason to make the first sub-assembly separable from the second. Accordingly, the Examiner’s alternative reasoning is not based on a rational underpinning.
