“‘[M]erely throw[ing] metaphorical darts at a board’ in hopes of arriving at a successful result, [where] ‘the prior art gave either no indication of which parameters were critical or no direction as to which of many possible choices is likely to be successful,’” impermissibly involves “‘hindsight claims of obviousness.’” In re Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride Extended-Release Capsule Patent Litigation, 676 F.3d 1063, 1070–71 (Fed.

To establish obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103, one of ordinary skill in the art must have a reasonable expectation that the prior art, when combined, would succeed in making the claimed invention. "Conclusive proof of efficacy is not necessary to show obviousness." Accorda Therapeutics, Inc. v. Roxane Laboratories, Inc., 903 F.3d 1310, 1333 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (quoting from Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. v. Apotex Inc., 748 F.3d 1326, 1331 (Fed. Cir. 2014). "'Obviousness does not require absolute predictability of success ... all that is required is a reasonable expectation of success.' [citing In re O'Farrell, 853 F.2d 894, 903---04 (Fed. Cir. 1988)]." In re Kubin, 561 F.3d 1351, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2009). However, "the evidentiary basis for an inference of reasonable expectation of success may be inadequate." Accorda, 903 F.3d at 1333-34.

[A]n invention is not obvious to try where vague prior art does not guide an inventor toward a particular solution. A finding of obviousness would not obtain where “what was ‘obvious to try’ was to explore a new technology or general approach that seemed to be a promising field of experimentation, where the prior art gave only general guidance as to the particular form of the claimed invention or how to achieve it.” [cit. omitted]. This expresses the same idea as the KSR requirement that the identified solutions be “predictable.”
