Thus, for broadening reissue claims, the specification of the original patent must do more than merely suggest or indicate the invention recited in reissue claims; “[i]t must appear from the face of the instrument that what is covered by the reissue was intended to have been covered and secured by the original.” Indus. Chems., 315 U.S. at 676, 62 S.Ct. 839 (emphasis added). Stated differently, the original patent “must clearly and unequivocally disclose the newly claimed invention as a separate invention.” Antares, 771 F.3d at 1362.

Forum US, Inc. v. Flow Valve, LLC, 926 F.3d 1346, 1351–52 (Fed. Cir. 2019) (emphasis added).

Our reviewing court has explained that, under pre-AIA law, an inventor can effectively swear behind a reference by establishing (1) conception and (2) diligence in achieving reduction to practice prior to the reference’s date. Apator Miitors ApS v. Kamstrup A/S, 887 F.3d 1293, 1295– 96 (Fed. Cir. 2018); In re NTP, Inc., 654 F.3d 1279, 1291 (Fed. Cir. 2011); 37 C.F.R. §§ 1.131(a)–(b). Swearing behind requires evidence corroborating any inventor testimony. Apator Miitors ApS, 887 F.3d at 1295–96.

 Any motivation, “whether articulated in the references themselves or supported by evidence of the knowledge of a skilled artisan, is sufficient.” Outdry Technologies Corp. v. Geox S.p.A., 859 F.3d 1364, 1370–71 (Fed Cir. 2017).  In other words, some motivation to combine is necessary, but it does not have to be the same motivation cited by Appellants.  This, the Examiner has provided.

First, the need must have been a persistent one that was recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art. In re Gershon, 372 F.2d 535, 539 (CCPA 1967) (“Since the alleged problem in this case was first recognized by appellants, and others apparently have not yet become aware of its existence, it goes without saying that there could not possibly be any evidence of either a long felt need in the . . . art for a solution to a problem of dubious existence or failure of others skilled in the art who unsuccessfully attempted to solve a problem of which they were not aware.”);
