"The fact that the motivating benefit comes at the expense of another benefit, however, should not nullify its use as a basis to modify the disclosure of one reference with the teachings of another. Instead, the benefits, both lost and gained, should be weighed against one another." Winner Int'l Royalty Corp. v. Wang, 202 F.3d 1340, 1349 n.8 (Fed. Cir. 2000). Further, "just because better alternatives exist in the prior art does not mean that an inferior combination is inapt for obviousness purposes." In re Mouttet, 686 F.3d 1322, 1334 (Fed. Cir. 2012).
