The Examiner thus, relies upon Hydex 301® as a prior art rigid polyurethane possessing the claimed properties, and asserts that it would have been obvious to select that material for the dental appliance of Tadros “since the selection of a known material based on its suitability for its intended use support[s] a prima facie obviousness determination” (id., citing Sinclair & Carroll co. v. International Corp., 325 U.S. 327 (1945)).
Based on the cited teachings of the prior art (FF1–7), we determine that a prima facie case of obviousness has been made.
