The Examiner correctly indicates that the substitution of one known element for a known equivalent is prima facie obvious (see Ans. 14 ). See In re Mayne, 104 F.3d 1339, 1340 (Fed. Cir. 1997). However, the Examiner fails to appreciate that the burden is on the Examiner to first provide evidence establishing that compounds are well-known equivalents/or a specific purpose. See In re 
Christensen, 82 F.2d 715, 716 (CCPA 1936); see also Graver Tank & Mfg. Co. v. Linde Air Prods. Co., 339 U.S. 605, 609 (1950) ("In determining equivalents, things equal to the same thing may not be equal to each other .... Consideration must be given to the purpose for which an ingredient is used in a patent ... and the function which it is intended to perform.").
