The principle of "rearrangement of the parts" finds its roots in In re Japikse, 181 F.2d 1019, 1023 (CCPA 1950). There, claims were held unpatentable because rearranging the position of a starting switch would not have modified the operation of the device. Id. But, Japikse does not stand for a per se rule of obviousness simply through rearrangement of individual parts nor does it displace the requirement of an articulated reason to support the proposed modification. See In re Fritch, 972 F.2d 1260, 1266 (Fed. Cir. 1992).

 There is no such evidence of unexpected results, or indeed of any results, present in the instant application comparing the claimed composition with Schriewer' s disclosed compound. This analysis is consistent with Wilder, where the court found that "one who claims a compound, per se, which is structurally similar to a prior art compound must rebut the presumed expectation that the structurally similar compounds have similar properties." In re Wilder, 563 F.2d 457, 460 (CCPA 1977).

Our reviewing court has instructed that:

[U]nder the broadest reasonable interpretation, the Board's construction "cannot be divorced from the specification and the record evidence," In re NTP, Inc., 654 F.3d 1279, 1288 (Fed. Cir. 2011 ), and "must be consistent with the one that those skilled in the art would reach," In re Cortright, 165 F.3d 1353, 1358 (Fed. Cir. 1999). A construction that is "unreasonably broad" and which does not "reasonably reflect the plain language and disclosure" will not pass muster.

Microsoft Corp. v. Proxyconn, Inc., 789 F.3d 1292, 1298 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (quoting In re Suitco Surface, Inc., 603 F.3d 1255, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2010)).

For example, whether “the device grants mail device access to user accounts which have user email addresses, or something else” goes to the breadth of the claim, not its definiteness. Cf. In re Robins, 429 F.2d 452, 458 (CCPA 1970) (“Giving the language its broadest possible meaning, as we are bound to do in the absence of special definitions by appellant, the breadth of the claims insofar as the catalyst is concerned is indeed immense. However, ‘Breadth is not indefiniteness.’  In re Gardner, 427 F.2d 786 [, 788], 57 CCPA [1207] (1970).”) We reach the same conclusion as to the other allegedly unclear limitations. The rejection is not sustained.
