The Examiner’s finding does not address the recited requirement for each of the regions to have first
and second portions with the recited characteristics. All words in a claim must be considered in judging the obviousness of the claimed subject matter. See In re Wilson, 424 F.2d 1382, 1385 (CCPA 1970).

In re Warner 379 F.2d 1011, 1016 (CCPA 1967) (“[T]he precise language of 35 U.S.C. § 102 that ‘(a) person shall be entitled to a patent unless,’ concerning novelty and unobviousness, clearly places a burden of proof on the Patent Office which requires it to produce the factual basis for its rejection of an application under sections 102 and 103.”).
