Although “evidence of unexpected results and other secondary considerations will not necessarily overcome a strong prima facie showing of obviousness” (Süd-Chemie, Inc. v. Multisorb Technologies, Inc., 554 F.3d 1001, 1009 (Fed. Cir. 2009)), in the present case, we find that Appellant’s evidence of unexpected results, weighs in favor of nonobviousness by a preponderance of the evidence. ...
Although we find Appellant’s evidence of unexpected results persuasive, our analysis does not end here because “‘objective evidence of non-obviousness must be commensurate in scope with the claims which the evidence is offered to support.” In re Clemens, 622 F.2d 1029, 1035 (CCPA 1980).
