It is not clear on the record before us if the Examiner is attempting to assert some type of reasoning along the lines discussed in In re Durden, 763 F.2d 1406 (Fed. Cir. 1985) (patentability of a method does not necessarily depend on the starting materials employed in that method) (discussed at MPEP § 2116.01). If this is the Examiner’s intended point, it is not clearly articulated on the record presently before us. 

Durden, In re, 763 F.2d 1406, 226 USPQ 359 (Fed. Cir. 1985) 2116.01

As set forth in MPEP § 2143(I)(E), to reject a claim under the “obvious to try” rationale, the Examiner is required to make the following findings: (1) “that at the time of the invention, there had been a recognized problem or need in the art, which may include a design need or market pressure to solve a problem”; (2) “that there had been a finite number of identified, predictable potential solutions to the recognized need or problem”; and (3) “that one of ordinary skill in the art could have pursued the known potential solutions with a reasonable expectation of success.” In Rolls Royce, PLC v. United Tech. Corp., 603 F.3d 1325, 1339 (Fed. Cir. 2010), the court explained that under this rationale, the possible options for solving a problem must have been “known and finite.”
