In response, the Examiner merely states that one of ordinary skill would recognize this fluid phenomenon without providing factual support (Ans. 20). Although it is it is permissible to rely on "official notice" in making rejections, such knowledge must be capable of instant and unquestionable demonstration as being well-known. In re Ahlert , 424 F.2d 1088, 1091 (CCPA 1970), see MPEP 2144.03. This is not the case here, in the practice field of fluid dynamics, these facts are not capable of instant and unquestionable demonstration as being well-known. See Ahlert , 424 F.2d at 1091 ("Assertions of technical facts in areas of esoteric technology must always be supported by citation to some reference work recognized as standard in the pertinent art and the appellant given, in the Patent Office, the opportunity to challenge the correctness of the assertion or the notoriety or repute of the cited reference.").
