see also In re Eli Lilly & Co., 902 F.2d 943, 947–48 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (explaining that a review of cited precedent “shows the absence of detailed all-purpose criteria for applying the law of obviousness to every factual situation.  No one precedent or rationale can be controlling in all possible areas of human creativity. . . . The obligation of the decision-maker is to apply the law consistently to the evidence for each new invention.  All relevant facts must be considered, while recognizing that it is inappropriate to ‘squeez[e] new factual situations into pre-established pigeonholes.’”).

Eli Lilly, In re902 F.2d 943, 14 USPQ2d 1741 (Fed. Cir. 1990) 716.01(d) 716.02(b) 716.02(c) 2142 2144 2144.08
