As our reviewing court has pointed out, ordinary creativity and/or common sense “cannot be used as a wholesale substitute for reasoned analysis and evidentiary support, especially when dealing with a limitation missing from the prior art references specified.” DSS Tech. Mgmt., Inc. v. Apple Inc., 885 F.3d 1367, 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2018) see also id. at 1374–75 (“In cases in which common sense is used to supply a missing limitation, as distinct from a motivation to combine, . . . our search for a reasoned basis for resort to common sense must be searching.”) (internal quotations omitted).

Our reviewing court recently reversed conclusions of obviousness made by this Board where, as here, the proponent of obviousness relied on ordinary creativity and/or common sense to establish the obviousness of a claim element missing from the prior art. See DSS Tech. Mgmt., Inc. v. Apple Inc., 885 F.3d 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2018); see also Arendi S.A.R.L. v. Apple Inc., 832 F.3d 1355 (Fed. Cir. 2016).

In DSS, the court explained that ordinary creativity and/or common sense may be used to supply a missing claim element only when the missing element is "unusually simple and the technology particularly straightforward." 885 F.3d at 1374 (quoting Arendi, 832 F.3d at 1362).

The court explained further that ordinary creativity and/or common sense "cannot be used as a wholesale substitute for reasoned analysis and evidentiary support, especially when dealing with a limitation missing from the prior art references specified." Id.; see also id. at 1374--75 ("In cases in which 'common sense' is used to supply a missing limitation, as distinct from a motivation to combine, ... our search for a reasoned basis for resort to common sense must be searching.") (quoting Arendi, 832 F .3d at 1363).
