Appellant’s argument that the end uses of the products in Cleaver II and Tada are “completely different” is unpersuasive. “One of ordinary skill in the art need not see the identical problem addressed in a prior art reference to be motivated to apply its teachings.” Cross Med. Prods., Inc. v.  Medtronic Sofamor Danek, Inc., 424 F.3d 1293, 1323 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (citing In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443, 1448 (Fed. Cir. 1992). There is no need for Cleaver II to require improved solvent resistance in order for the Examiner to find improved solvent resistance as motivation for the combination.

For the foregoing reasons, Appellant’s argument that Kimmet does not teach an “edge lit panel” is not persuasive of error in the Examiner’s rejection of claim 1. Appellant’s additional arguments relating to claim 1 and the remaining claims are similarly not persuasive of error. Accordingly, I would affirm the Examiner’s rejections.

The word “persuasive” is not meant to suggest Appellant bears the ultimate burden of proving patentability. “After evidence or argument is submitted by the applicant in response [to a prima facie case of unpatentability], patentability is determined on the totality of the record, by a preponderance of evidence with due consideration to persuasiveness of argument.” In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443, 1445 (Fed. Cir. 1992) (emphasis added); see also id. at 1445—46 (“The Board explained why it was unpersuaded by [Appellant’s] arguments on appeal. We discern no irregularity in the procedure.”). My conclusion “was reached after careful consideration of the appealed claims, the evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner and the arguments advanced by the appellant and the examiner.” Id. at 1445 (internal quotation omitted).

As to whether references are properly used to reject the claims of a pending patent application, the Federal Circuit has stated:

In order to rely on a reference as a basis for rejection of the applicant’s invention, the reference must either be in the field of the applicant’s endeavor or, if not, then be reasonably pertinent to the particular problem with which the inventor was concerned. See In re Deminski, 796 F.2d 436, 442, 230 USPQ 313, 315 (Fed.Cir.1986). . . . We have reminded ourselves and the PTO that it is necessary to consider “the reality of the circumstances”, In re Wood, 599 F.2d 1032, 1036, 202 USPQ 171, 174 (CCPA 1979)—in other words, common sense—in deciding in which fields a person of ordinary skill would reasonably be expected to look for a solution to the problem facing the inventor. 

In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443, 1447 (Fed. Cir. 1992) (emphasis added).
