We agree with Appellants that the Examiner erred in finding that the chemical microreactor integrated in a single chip illustrated in Villa's Figure 5 as disclosed in paragraphs 0052 and 0053 as well as paragraph 0064 of the reference, would have in fact described to one skilled in the art an embodiment that contains all claim elements arranged as specified in claim 1, either expressly or inherently, in a manner enabling one skilled in the art to practice the embodiment without undue experimentation,  Ans. 4-5, 8-9; App. Br. 5-7; Reply Br. 2-5.

1777 Ex Parte Paillard et al 12424225 - (D) NAGUMO 103 COATS & BENNETT, PLLC GIONTA FITZSIMMON, ALLISON

The Examiner’s attempt to shift the burden of proof regarding the obviousness of these limitations to Paillard fails for lack of the required evidentiary foundation. It is not enough to establish that a person having ordinary skill in the art would have considered the claimed invention chemically and physically reasonable: few inventions are not.

See, e.g., In re Crish, 393 F.3d 1253, 1259 (Fed. Cir. 2004) (“[W]hen the prior art evidence reasonably allows the PTO to conclude that a claimed feature is present in the prior art, the evidence ‘compels such a conclusion if the applicant produces no evidence or argument to rebut it.’” (quoting In re Spada, 911 F.2d 705, 708 n.3 (Fed. Cir. 1990)) and In re Best, 562 F.2d 1252, 1255, 195 USPQ 430, 433 (CCPA 1977) (“Where . . . the claimed and prior art products are identical or substantially identical, or are produced by identical or substantially identical processes, the PTO can require an applicant to prove that the prior art products do not necessarily or inherently possess the characteristics of his claimed product.”)

Crish, In re, 393 F.3d 1253, 73 USPQ2d 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2004) 2111.03, 2112

Spada, In re, 911 F.2d 705, 15 USPQ2d 1655 (Fed. Cir. 1990) 2112.01

“[W]hen the PTO shows sound basis for believing that the products of the applicant and the prior art are the same, the applicant has the burden of showing that they are not.” In re Spada, 911 F.2d 705, 708 (Fed.

We first note that Appellant employs the Markush group format in claim 5 by reciting “selecting an operation from the group consisting of accessing data . . . , posting data . . . , updating data . . . , deleting data . . . , and combinations thereof.” See MPEP § 2173.05(h)(I). Accordingly, Xu discloses the “selecting” step if Xu discloses selecting one of the recited operations in the group. See Fresenius USA, Inc. v. Baxter Int’l, Inc., 582 F.3d 1288, 1298 (2009) (“[T]he entire element is disclosed by the prior art if one alternative in the Markush group is in the prior art.”) (citing Schering Corp. v.
