For example, the Federal Circuit has held that testimony “succumbed to hindsight bias” when it “primarily consisted of conclusory references to her belief that one of ordinary skill in the art could combine these references, not that they would have been motivated to do so.” InTouch Techs., Inc. v. VGO Commc’ns, Inc., 751 F.3d 1327, 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2014).

.  It is not enough to say that there would have been a reason to combine two references because to do so would ‘have been obvious to one of ordinary skill.’  Such circular reasoning is not sufficient—more is needed to sustain an obviousness rejection.”  In re Chaganti, 554 F. App’x 917, 922 (Fed. Cir. 2014).  We have also recently been instructed that “obviousness concerns whether a skilled artisan not only could have made but would have been motivated to make the combinations or modifications of prior art to arrive at the claimed invention.”  Belden Inc., v. Berk-Tek LLC, Nos. 2014-1575, 2014-1576, 2015 WL 6756451, at *5 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 5, 2015) (citing InTouch Techs., Inc. v. VGO Commc’ns, Inc., 751 F.3d 1327, 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2014)).
