To establish obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103, one of ordinary skill in the art must have a reasonable expectation that the prior art, when combined, would succeed in making the claimed invention. "Conclusive proof of efficacy is not necessary to show obviousness." Accorda Therapeutics, Inc. v. Roxane Laboratories, Inc., 903 F.3d 1310, 1333 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (quoting from Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. v. Apotex Inc., 748 F.3d 1326, 1331 (Fed. Cir. 2014). "'Obviousness does not require absolute predictability of success ... all that is required is a reasonable expectation of success.' [citing In re O'Farrell, 853 F.2d 894, 903---04 (Fed. Cir. 1988)]." In re Kubin, 561 F.3d 1351, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2009). However, "the evidentiary basis for an inference of reasonable expectation of success may be inadequate." Accorda, 903 F.3d at 1333-34.
