3763 Ex Parte Clark 13827417 - (D) OSINSKI 102/103 LAW OFFICE OF LOUIS WOO SCHMIDT, EMILY LOUISE

An Examiner’s factual finding regarding what a reference discloses must be supported by a preponderance of the evidence.  See In re Caveney, 761 F.2d 671, 674 (Fed. Cir. 1985) (“preponderance of the evidence is the standard that must be met by the PTO in making rejections”).  In order to satisfy this standard, the evidence must demonstrate that it is more likely than not that the alleged facts are actually true.  See Bosies v. Benedict, 27 F.3d 539, 542 (Fed. Cir. 1994) (the preponderance of the evidence standard requires the finder of fact to believe that the existence of a fact is more probable than its nonexistence).
