Discovery of a problem that was previously unrecognized can show that a solution to that problem would not have been obvious. See Eibel Process Co. v. Minnesota & Ontario Paper Co., 261 U.S. 45 (1923). “In Eibel Process, the invention was a machine that could make quality paper at high speeds.” Purdue Pharma L.P. v. Epic Pharma, LLC, 811 F.3d 1345, 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2016). “Eibel discovered that the unequal speeds of paper stock and a wire in the machine produced [] wrinkled paper. Thus, he made a minor modification in the existing paper-making machines.” Id. “The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Eibel’s patent, reasoning that the discovery of the problem—unequal speeds of paper stock and the wire—was nonobvious, and thus the solution was as well.” Id.
