We agree with Appellant that classification of the prior art is weak evidence with regard to the problem being solved. Reply Br. 2 (citing In re Mlot-Fijalkowski, 676 F.2d 666 (CCPA 1982), for the proposition that classification evidence is of little value when determining if a reference is analogous art). Further, “the similarities and differences in structure and function of the inventions disclosed in the references carry far greater weight” than patent classification. In re Ellis, 476 F.2d 1370, 1372 (CCPA 1973).

Two separate tests define the scope of analogous art: (1) the reference is from the same field of endeavor as the claimed invention (even if it addresses a different problem); or (2) the reference is reasonably pertinent to the problem faced by the inventor (even if it is not in the same field of endeavor as the claimed invention). See In re Bigio, 381 F.3d 1320, 1325 (Fed. Cir. 2004).

"[S]tructural similarities" and "functional overlap" can show that the art to which a prior art reference belongs "is reasonably pertinent to the art with which [A]ppellant's invention dealt with." In re Ellis, 476 F.2d 1370, 1372 (CCPA 1973).

In any event, patent classification is not dispositive to the issue of whether Reese relates to non-analogous art. See In re Ellis, 476 F.2d 1370, 1372 (C.C.P.A. 1973) (stating that while USPTO classification may provide “some evidence of ‘non-analogy,’ … the similarities and differences in structure and function of the inventions disclosed in the references to carry far greater weight.”) (emphasis in original).

Ellis, In re, 476 F.2d 1370, 177 USPQ 526 (CCPA 1973) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2141.01(a)

As pointed out by our colleagues in Ex parte James K. Leimkuhler, 2012 WL 684058 (B.P.A.I. February 28, 2012), the KSR Supreme Court decision is relevant to the analogous prior art inquiry.
