We agree with Appellant that these results represent an unexpected and substantial improvement over the prior art.  See In re Soni, 54 F.3d 746, 751 (Fed. Cir. 1995) (“[W]hen an applicant demonstrates substantially improved results, as Soni did here, and states that the results are unexpected, this should suffice to establish unexpected results in the absence of evidence to the contrary.”)

In re Marco Guldenaar Holding B.V. notes that the phrase “methods of organizing human activities”  can be confusing and potentially misused, since, after all, a defined set of steps for combining particular ingredients to create a drug formulation could be categorized as a method of organizing human activity. Here, however, where the Patent Office further articulates a more refined characterization of the abstract idea (e.g., ‘rules for playing games’), there is no error. (In re Marco Guldenaar Holding B.V., 911 F.3d 1157, 1160 (Fed. Cir. 2018).  Here, the Examiner has not persuasively articulated a more refined characterization of the abstract idea of claim 1 that comports with the “methods of organizing human activity” type of abstract idea.

The Federal Circuit has held, “the prima facie case is merely a procedural device that enables an appropriate shift of the burden of production.”  Hyatt v. Dudas, 492 F.3d 1365, 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2007).  This burden is met by “adequately explain[ing] the shortcomings it perceives so that the applicant is properly notified and able to respond.”  Id. at 1370.

Hyatt v. Dudas, 492 F.3d 1365, 83 USPQ2d 1373, 1376 (Fed. Cir. 2007) 2163.04
