Notwithstanding that the Examiner appears to have added an additional design choice in the Answer, merely asserting that a change is an obvious design choice is insufficient. See Cutsforth, Inc. v. MotivePower, Inc., 636 Fed. Appx. 575, 578 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (unpublished) (stating that a particular placement of an element is a design choice does not make it obvious; a reason must be offered as to why a skilled artisan would have made the specific design choice).
