In doing so, the Examiner treats the claim limitation that requires the transverse bars to slide

along the left and right posts as an arbitrary or overly simple structural requirement, yet simplicity itself does not negate invention. See Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. v. Ray–O–Vac Co., 321 U.S. 275, 279, 64 S.Ct. 593, 594, 88 L.Ed. 721 (1944) (simplicity of itself does not negate invention); Panduit Corp. v. Dennison Mfg. Co., 810 F.2d 1561, 1572 (Fed. Cir. 1987) (the patent system is not foreclosed to those who make simple inventions), cert. denied, 481 U.S. 1052, 107 S.Ct. 2187, 95 L.Ed.2d 843 (1987).

In light of the remainder of the teachings of Cornwell, an ordinarily skilled artisan would not understand Cornwell to teach or suggest upgrading memory resolution in response to crossing an error threshold because Cornwell explicitly teaches that such condition calls for downgrading memory resolution. See Panduit Corp. v. Dennison Mfg. Co., 774 F.2d 1082, 1094 (Fed. Cir. 1985) (holding that courts should avoid a “superficial review” of prior art references and instead should “consider references in their entireties, i.e., including those portions that would argue against obviousness.”)
