The obviousness inquiry requires a determination that a skilled artisan would have been motivated to combine the teachings of the prior art references to achieve the claimed invention, and that the skilled artisan would have had a reasonable expectation of success in doing so. Kinetic Concepts, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew, Inc., 688 F.3d 1342, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2012). "The reasonable expectation of success requirement refers to the likelihood of success in combining references to meet the limitations of the claimed invention." Intelligent Bio-Systems, Inc. v. Illumina Cambridge Ltd., 821 F.3d 1359, 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2016). In other words, "one must have a motivation to combine accompanied by a reasonable expectation of achieving what is claimed in the patent-at-issue." Id. Here, the Examiner gives us no reason to believe that Finch's driving mechanism and follower could be successfully disposed in a pressure vessel or that an operable invention could be achieved without them.

The obviousness inquiry requires a determination that a skilled artisan would have been motivated to combine the teachings of the prior art references to achieve the claimed invention, and that the skilled artisan would have had a reasonable expectation of success in doing so. Kinetic Concepts, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew, Inc., 688 F.3d 1342, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2012). The presence or absence of a motivation to combine references in an obviousness determination is a question of fact. See Par Pharm., Inc. v. TWI Pharm., Inc., 773 F.3d 1186, 1196 (Fed. Cir. 2014). “The reasonable expectation of success requirement refers to the likelihood of success in combining references to meet the limitations of the claimed invention.” Intelligent Bio-Systems, Inc. v. Illumina Cambridge Ltd., 821 F.3d 1359, 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2016). In other words, “one must have a motivation to combine accompanied by a reasonable expectation of achieving what is claimed in the patent-at-issue.” Id.

In the instant case, we are not persuaded that the Examiner has provided sufficient articulated reasoning with a rational underpinning to explain how and/or why a person of ordinary skill in the art would have been led to the claimed invention by the cited art.

Appellants' arguments are persuasive of reversible error. "While the Supreme Court made clear that a mechanical application of the teaching suggestion-motivation test, requiring an explicit teaching in the prior art, is inappropriate, ' [w]e must still be careful not to allow hindsight reconstruction of references to reach the claimed invention without any explanation as to how or why the references would be combined to produce the claimed invention."' Kinetic Concepts, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew, Inc., 688 F.3d 1342, 1368 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (citing Innogenetics, N. V. v. Abbott Labs., 512 F.3d 1363, 1374 n. 3 (Fed. Cir. 2008) ).
