See In re Burhans, 154 F.2d 690, 692 (CCPA 1946) (“There is no merit in the point here in the absence of any proof in the record that the order of performing the steps produces any new and unexpected results.”); In re Gibson, 39 F.2d 975, 976 (CCPA 1930) (selection of any order of mixing ingredients is prima facie obvious.). However, Gibson and Burhans are applicable to situations where one of ordinary skill in the art would have reasonably expected from the steps described in the applied prior art that changing the order of steps would produce substantially the same result.
