A reasonable expectation of success is a necessary part of a prima facie case of obviousness. In re Vaeck, 947 F.2d 488, 493 (Fed. Cir. 1991). "Both the suggestion [to combine references] and the reasonable expectation of success must be founded in the prior art, not in the applicant's disclosure." Id. Whether or not a person of ordinary skill in the art would have had a reasonable expectation that a particular combination of references would work is a pure question of fact. Alza Corp. v. Mylan Labs., Inc., 464 F.3d 1286, 1289 (Fed. Cir. 2006).

The mere fact that elements can be combined is not, in itself, a reason to combine them. Rather, an obviousness rejection further must explain the reasoning by which those findings support the Examiner's conclusion of obviousness. Perfect Web Techs., Inc. v. Info USA, Inc., 587 F.3d 1324, 1328-30 (Fed. Cir. 2009). Hence, in this case, we agree with Appellants that "there is no [reasonable] reason to conclude that a random one of Blow's [sensing] vectors would be better than the specific [sensing] vector disclosed by Kim." Reply Brief (dated Mar. 26, 2018) at 3. 

In conclusion, absent hindsight, we fail to see why a person of ordinary skill in the art would have provided Blow's second unipolar sensing vector between Kim's proximal coil electrode 116 and can electrode 209 in the manner claimed.

In rejecting claim 14 as not enabled, the Examiner determines (i) "[a] generic recitation of an algorithm is clearly not enabling for all types of algorithms, given the complexities associated with the differing types of algorithms" (Final Act. 3), and (ii) Appellant's disclosure "does not enable speeds that are, for example, 1000 times that of the second cycle speed or hundreds of thousands of times that of the second cycle speed" (id. at 4). In support of part (ii) of the rejection, the Examiner refers to MPEP 2164.06(a) and MagSil Corp. v. Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, Inc., 687 F.3d 1377, 103 USPQ2d 1769 (Fed. Cir. 2012). Final Act. 3.

...

Appellant has the better position. The facts of MagSil are distinguishable inasmuch as the limitation at issue in that case involved a physical property that, according to the record, the inventor had never been able to increase by more than 11.8% and had a theoretical upper limit of a 100% increase. Magsil, 687 F.3d at 1381-1382. In contrast, it appears that the ratio of the first and second cycle speeds in Appellant's method is not physically limited, even if, for example, the second cycle speed at an extremely low rate might be impractical. In other words, we agree with Appellant's argument that, as the first and second cycle speeds are capable of being specified by the user (Appeal Br. 12), the disclosure enables the "at least 10 times" limitation in claim 14. Accordingly, we do not sustain the rejection of claim 14 as failing to comply with the enablement requirement. 

MagSil Corp. v. Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, Inc., 687 F.3d 1377, 103 USPQ2d 1769 (Fed. Cir. 2012) 2161.01 ,   2164.06(a)
