We agree with Appellants that, in the context of a rejection based on routine optimization, a showing of “criticality” comes as one potential rebuttal to a prima facie case. See In re Stepan Co., 868 F.3d 1342, 1348 (Fed. Cir. 2017); Reply Br. 2 (“Appellants do not have the burden of presenting evidence of criticality because a prima facie case of obviousness was not yet established.”)
