The enablement requirement prevents mere ideas from being patented.  In re ‘318 Patent Infringement Litigation, 583 F.3d 1317, 1324 (2009). ... Whether making and using the claimed invention would have required undue experimentation, such that claims were not sufficiently enabled by the Specification, is a legal conclusion based upon underlying facts.  In re Goodman, 11 F.3d 1046, 1049–50 (Fed. Cir. 1993).

Goodman, In re, 11 F.3d 1046, 29 USPQ2d 2010 (Fed. Cir. 1993) 804 , 806.04(i) , 1504.06 , 2164.06(b) , 2164.08

Appellant’s second argument is “there is no reason to modify . . . Bland to provide the asserted first part 56 to be for driving a drop in anchor.”  Appeal Br. 7; Reply Br. 3.  We disagree.  In this regard the Examiner cites In re Einstein, 46 F.2d 373 (CCPA 1931), which sustained the Office’s determination of obviousness on the basis that “a mere reversal of the essential working parts of a previously patented device did not constitute invention.”  Id. at 374.  Appellant does not identify any reason why this obviousness rationale may be deficient, or cite to any evidence in rebuttal of the Examiner’s reason for modifying Bland.

In Final Actions dated May 22, 2017 and December 29, 2017, the Examiner finds Zheng does not teach consistency points, as claimed, but in the Answer, the Examiner now finds Zheng so teaches.  Ans. 4.  The Examiner has made “contradictory findings of technological facts based on shifting perceptions of the prior art” upon which we may not rely.  In re Vaidyanathan, 381 F. App’x 985, 991 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (citing Universal Camera Corp. v. NLRB, 340 U.S. 474, 496 (1951) (“[t]he agency’s contradictory findings of technological facts based on shifting perceptions of the prior art impeach the deference normally owed to administrative findings of fact.”).  We, therefore, decline to find Zheng teaches the claimed consistency points.
