A change in the principle of operation of the primary reference can, in some circumstances, render a modification nonobvious. For example, a modification suggested by an examiner was considered to be nonobvious where the modification (1) necessitated a substantial reconstruction of the primary reference, and (2) changed the basic principles under which the primary reference was designed to operate. In re Ratti, 270 F.2d 810, 811-13 (CCPA 1959) (“This suggested combination of references would require a substantial reconstruction and redesign of the elements shown in [the primary reference] as well as a change in the basic principles under which the [primary reference] construction was designed to operate.” (emphasis added)).
