Whether a reference is reasonably pertinent “rests on the extent to which the reference of interest and the claimed invention relate to a similar problem or purpose.” Donner Tech., LLC v. Pro Stage Gear, LLC, 979 F.3d 1353, 1359 (Fed. Cir. 2020). A reference is analogous if it is reasonably pertinent to at least one of the problems faced by the inventor(s). See id. at 1361 (“[I]f the two references have ‘pertinent similarities’ such that [the asserted reference] is reasonably pertinent to one or more of the problems to which the [challenged] patent pertains, then [the asserted reference] is analogous art.” (emphasis added)).
