Alternatively, the Examiner concludes that a person having ordinary skill in the art would have found it obvious to select either an "in series" or "in parallel" connection configuration in Glaser '554 (Ans. 12). That conclusion, however, is not based on any facts but merely a conclusory statement, which is insufficient as an articulated reason for modifying Glaser '554 in the manner claimed. In re Nuvasive, Inc., 842 F.3d 1376, 1381-82 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (conclusory statement by an expert on obviousness that the modification would provide "additional information" held insufficient).

As part of the obviousness analysis, particularly when combining teachings from multiple references, we must consider “whether there was an apparent reason to combine the known elements in the fashion claimed by the patent at issue.” See KSR Int’l Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 550 U.S. 398, 418 (2007) (citing In re Kahn, 441 F.3d 977, 988 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (requiring “articulated reasoning with some rational underpinning to support the legal conclusion of obviousness”)); In re Nuvasive, Inc., 842 F.3d 1376, 1382 (Fed. Cir. 2016).
