The Examiner's adopted interpretation would encompass any material, irrespective of the material's ability to support its own weight during deposition, and, therefore, incorrectly reads the term "self-supporting" out of the claims. See Stumbo v. Eastman Outdoors, Inc., 508 F.3d 1358, 1362 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (denouncing claim constructions that render claimed terms superfluous).

Although an obviousness conclusion may properly be based on common knowledge or common sense in appropriate circumstances, we do not think it is appropriate here because the facts needed to support the obviousness conclusion are not capable of instant and unquestionable demonstration as being well-known. K/S Himpp v. Hear-Wear Techs., LLC, 751 F.3d 1362, 1366 (Fed.

We agree with Appellant. The Supreme Court articulated the test for indefiniteness as "requir[ing] that a patent's claims, viewed in light of the specification and prosecution history, inform those skilled in the art about the scope of the invention with reasonable certainty." Nautilus, Inc. v. Biosig Instruments, Inc., 572 U.S. 898, 910 (2014). "As long as claim terms satisfy this test, relative terms and words of degree do not render patent claims invalid." One-E-Way, Inc. v. International Trade Commission, 859 F.3d 1059, 1063 (Fed. Cir. 2017). "To determine whether a particular term is indefinite, ' [o]ne must bear in mind ... that patents are "not addressed to lawyers, or even to the public generally," but rather to those skilled in the relevant art."' Id. ( citing Nautilus, 572 U.S. at 909).

Furthermore, a proposed combination of the references need not provide an absolute certainty of success, merely a reasonable expectation. See In re Longi, 759 F.2d 887, 897 (Fed.

To the extent that the statement in paragraph 9 of the Schmitz Declaration that thinly metallized film made with PLA film "is gaining unexpectedly - excellent barrier properties" as compared to conventional laminate paper is evidence of improved results, it is weak evidence, as no data was supplied in the Declaration in support of this statement, and thus, no quantification of the extent of the improvement can be discerned. See Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., 769 F.3d 1339 (per curiam) (Fed. Cir. 2014) ("[O]ne should consider the substantiality of the differences between the properties of the prior art and those of the invention to determine the significance of those differences."); In re Soni, 54 F.3d 746, 751 (Fed. Cir. 1995) ("Mere improvement in properties does not always suffice to show unexpected results.").
