In the Answer, the Examiner states "Hirota discloses the same structure as the claimed invention and would be able to perform the same steps of a method as claimed," and "it has been held that the recitation that an element is 'capable of' performing a function is not a positive limitation, but only requires the ability to so perform[, i]t does not constitute a limitation in any patentable sense." Ans. 6 ( citing In re Hutchison, 154 F.2d. 135 (C.C.P.A. 1946).5
We disagree with the Examiner's application of Hutchison in the context of claim 1 because, as Appellants correctly point out (Reply Br. 34), claim 1 is a method claim that specifically requires a particular process to be performed, namely, "generating a wrinkle in a widthwise central portion of the steel sheet by preheating the steel sheet" (Appeal Br. A-1 (Claims App.)). The claim at issue in Hutchison was a product claim, and the language at issue related to the intended use of the claimed product. Hutchison, 154 F.2d at 137-138. Thus, to the extent Hutchison indicates that, in some cases, functional recitations do not carry patentable weight in product claims, 6 the facts of Hutchison are critically different from those present here.
...
"Taking first claim 42 for analysis ... the first phraseology italicized by appellant is the introductory clause to the effect that the laminated article is 'adapted' for use in making a template or the like. This does not constitute a limitation in any patentable sense." Hutchison, 154 F .2d at 138 ( emphases added); but see In re Gianelli, 739 F.3d 1375, 1379 (Fed. Cir. 2014) "We have noted that, 'the phrase 'adapted to' is frequently used to mean 'made to,' 'designed to,' or 'configured to,' ... [a]lthough the phrase can also mean 'capable of or 'suitable for."' Internal citation omitted.

To establish obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103, one of ordinary skill in the art must have a reasonable expectation that the prior art, when combined, would succeed in making the claimed invention. "Conclusive proof of efficacy is not necessary to show obviousness." Accorda Therapeutics, Inc. v. Roxane Laboratories, Inc., 903 F.3d 1310, 1333 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (quoting from Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. v. Apotex Inc., 748 F.3d 1326, 1331 (Fed. Cir. 2014). "'Obviousness does not require absolute predictability of success ... all that is required is a reasonable expectation of success.' [citing In re O'Farrell, 853 F.2d 894, 903---04 (Fed. Cir. 1988)]." In re Kubin, 561 F.3d 1351, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2009). However, "the evidentiary basis for an inference of reasonable expectation of success may be inadequate." Accorda, 903 F.3d at 1333-34.

Because the Examiner does not establish that the prior art recognizes the purported equivalency between Lemmer and Reymond - as is required by In re Ruff - the Examiner improperly relied on equivalence as a rationale for supporting an obviousness rejection. See In re Ruff, 256 F.2d 590, 596 (CCPA 1958) (substitution of one equivalent for another is obvious only where equivalency is known in the prior art). Frorn our perspective, the only suggestion for putting the selected disclosures of the references together in the manner proposed by the Examiner lays in the hindsight accorded one who first viewed Appellant's disclosure. This, of course, is not a proper basis for a rejection. See Sensonics Inc. v. Aerosonic Corp., 81 F.3d 1566, 1570 (Fed. Cir. 1996) ("The invention must be viewed not after the blueprint has been drawn by the inventor, but as it would have been perceived in the state of the art that existed at the time the invention was made." ( citing Interconnect Planning Corp. v. Feil, 774 F.2d 1132, 1138 (Fed. Cir. 1985))).

Because the Examiner does not establish that the prior art recognizes the purported equivalency between Lemmer and Reymond - as is required by In re Ruff - the Examiner improperly relied on equivalence as a rationale for supporting an obviousness rejection. See In re Ruff, 256 F.2d 590, 596 (CCPA 1958) (substitution of one equivalent for another is obvious only where equivalency is known in the prior art). Frorn our perspective, the only suggestion for putting the selected disclosures of the references together in the manner proposed by the Examiner lays in the hindsight accorded one who first viewed Appellant's disclosure. This, of course, is not a proper basis for a rejection. See Sensonics Inc. v. Aerosonic Corp., 81 F.3d 1566, 1570 (Fed. Cir. 1996) ("The invention must be viewed not after the blueprint has been drawn by the inventor, but as it would have been perceived in the state of the art that existed at the time the invention was made." ( citing Interconnect Planning Corp. v. Feil, 774 F.2d 1132, 1138 (Fed. Cir. 1985))).
