[I]dentification in the prior art of each individual part claimed is insufficient to defeat patentability of the whole claimed invention. . . . Rather, to establish obviousness based on a combination of the elements disclosed in the prior art, there must be some motivation, suggestion or teaching of the desirability of making the specific combination that was made by the applicant.

In sum, we find the evidence on this record favors Appellants. Claims are not indefinite simply because they do not describe the invention using numerical values. See In re Mattison, 509 F.2d 563, 565 (CCPA 1975).

Appellants thus provide evidence of the criticality and results of the claimed coating thickness range compared to the prior art range of 8 mm to 10 mm. This evidence precludes the Examiner's finding that the claimed coating thickness is an obvious matter of design choice. See In re Chu, 66 F.3d 292, 299 (Fed. Cir. 1995) (evidence that the claimed structure and function it performed differed from the prior art precluded a finding that catalyst placement was merely a design choice). 

Chu, In re, 66 F.3d 292, 36 USPQ2d 1089 (Fed. Cir. 1995) 211.05 , 716.02(f) , 2145 ,

Nor has the Examiner explained why a skilled artisan would have arrived at the claimed coating thickness. Cutsforth, Inc. v. MotivePower, Inc., 636 F. App'x 575, 578 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (non-precedential) ("stating that a particular placement of an element is a design choice does not make it obvious.").
