The Examiner’s position is also not saved by the mere citation or reliance upon per se rules and generalizations without application to the specific facts at hand. See, e.g., Ans. 4 (citing Smith v. Nichols, 88 U.S. 112, 118–19 (1874) and In re Williams, 36 F.2d 436, 438 (CCPA 1929)). Mere conclusory statements that the recited ranges are “equivalents doing the same thing” do not amount to the evidence or technical reasoning necessary to support an obviousness rejection. See MPEP § 2144 (stating, in discussing Smith v. Nichols and In re Williams, “such rationales should not be treated as per se rules, but rather must be explained and shown to apply to the facts at hand. . . . Simply stating the principle (e.g., ‘art recognized equivalent,’ ‘structural similarity’) without providing an explanation of its applicability to the facts of the case at hand is generally not sufficient to establish a prima facie case of obviousness”).
