Accordingly, in view of the teachings of Samour Figure 1, the Examiner has not established that in optimizing the amount of penetration enhancer, a skilled artisan would have been motivated to reduce the amount from 10%, with a reasonable expectation of success of achieving the claimed range of “1 to 5% w/v” penetration enhancer in a non-aqueous formulation.  See, e.g., Intelligent Bio-Sys., Inc. v. Illumina Cambridge Ltd., 821 F.3d 1359, 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (“The reasonable expectation of success requirement refers to the likelihood of success in combining references to meet the limitations of the claimed invention.”) (emphasis added).

In this regard, although factual evidence is preferable to opinion testimony, such testimony is entitled to consideration and some weight so long as the opinion is not on the ultimate legal conclusion at issue. While an opinion as to a legal conclusion is not entitled to any weight, the underlying basis for the opinion may be persuasive. In re Chilowsky, 306 F.2d 908, 916, (CCPA 1962); In re Lindell, 385 F.2d 453, 456 (CCPA 1967) (Although an affiant’s or declarant’s opinion on the ultimate legal issue is not evidence in the case, “some weight ought to be given to a persuasively supported statement of one skilled in the art on what was not obvious to him.”).

Dr. Wright has stated that the transformation results were surprising, and that neither the transformation frequency nor the PPT resistance in plants would have been expected. Wright Decl. ¶ 23. “Mere improvement in properties does not always suffice to show unexpected results. . . . [H]owever, when an applicant demonstrates substantially improved results . . . and states that the results were unexpected, this should suffice to establish unexpected results in the absence of evidence to the contrary.” In re Soni, 54 F.3d 746, 751 (Fed. Cir. 1995) (emphasis in original).
