Ultimately, we conclude that other embodiments beyond those provided in the Specification can be made without difficulty, and given the practical limits on engine structure as noted by Appellant, one of ordinary skill in the art could make and use the claimed invention without undue experimentation. See In re Fisher, 427 F.2d 833, 839 (CCPA 1970) ("In cases involving predictable factors, such as mechanical or electrical elements, a single embodiment provides broad enablement in the sense that, once imagined, other embodiments can be made without difficulty and their performance characteristics predicted by resort to known scientific laws.")

As an initial matter, we note that an Examiner's burden of proving unpatentability when rejecting claims in a patent application is by a preponderance of the evidence. In re Caveney, 761 F.2d 671, 674 (Fed. Cir. 1985). In order to satisfy this standard, the evidence must demonstrate that it is more likely than not that the alleged facts are actually true. See Bosies v. Benedict, 27 F.3d 539, 542 (Fed. Cir. 1994) (noting that the preponderance of the evidence standard "only requires the fact finder 'to believe that the existence of a fact is more probable than its nonexistence"' (quoting In re Winship, 397 U.S. 358, 371 (1970)).

We are not persuaded. Our reviewing court has explained that, to demonstrate that a product, such as a chemical compound, has unexpected properties sufficient to overcome a prima facie showing of obviousness, a patent applicant need not "produce superior results in every environment in which the compound may be used. To be patentable, a compound need not excel over prior art compounds in all common properties." In re Chupp, 816 F.2d 643, 646 (Fed. Cir. 1987). Instead, "[e]vidence that a compound is unexpectedly superior in one of a spectrum of common properties, as here, can be enough to rebut a primafacie case of obviousness." Id.

Thus, the Examiner's position, that the undisputedly significant improvement shown by Appellants is insufficient to show nonobviousness because the improvement was not shown throughout the entire post administration period, conflicts with the holding in Chupp, 816 F .2d at 646, 647 (rejection of claims to herbicidal compound reversed over showing of unexpected properties based on single method of use).

Chupp, In re, 816 F.2d 643, 2 USPQ2d 1437 (Fed. Cir. 1987) 716.01(d) , 716.02(a) , 2145
