see also In re Eli Lilly & Co., 902 F.2d 943, 947–48 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (explaining that a review of cited precedent “shows the absence of detailed all-purpose criteria for applying the law of obviousness to every factual situation.  No one precedent or rationale can be controlling in all possible areas of human creativity. . . . The obligation of the decision-maker is to apply the law consistently to the evidence for each new invention.  All relevant facts must be considered, while recognizing that it is inappropriate to ‘squeez[e] new factual situations into pre-established pigeonholes.’”).

After a prima facie case of obviousness has been made and rebuttal evidence submitted, all the evidence must be considered anew. In re Eli Lilly & Co., 902 F. 2d 943, 945 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (citing In re Piasecki, 745 F.2d 1468, 1472, 223 USPQ 785, 788 (Fed.Cir.1984)): Piaseki at 745 F.2d at 1472 ("Prima facie obviousness is a legal conclusion, not a fact. Facts established by rebuttal evidence must be evaluated along with the facts on which the earlier conclusion was reached, not against the conclusion itself."
