The Examiner points to Paragraphs 30 and 31 to as evidence that the direction of the off-angle is a result effective variable (Ans. 9). However, for the reasons outlined at pages 12–13 of the Reply Brief, Schreck’s paragraphs 30 and 31 do not teach that the off angle direction produces any recognizable result. Accordingly, the off angle direction cannot be said to be a result effective variable. See In re Antonie, 559 F.2d 618, 621 (CCPA 1977) (An exception to the general rule that optimization of a value is an obvious modification is where the parameter optimized was not recognized to be a result effective variable).

In order for optimization of a result-effective variable to have been obvious, the prior art must have recognized that the variable in question was result-effective. In Application of Antonie, 559 F.2d 618, 620 (CCPA 1977), the predecessor to our reviewing court explained that "[t]his case, in which the parameter optimized was not recognized to be a result-effective variable, is another exception [to the rule that discovery of an optimum value of a variable in a known process is normally obvious].") The court also explained that "while it may ordinarily be the case that the determination of optimum values for parameters of a prior art process would be at least prima facie obvious, that conclusion depends upon what the prior art discloses with respect to those parameters." Application of Sebek, 465 F.2d 904, 907 (CCPA 1972)

Thus, Sasaki teached that the radius of curvature is a function of various parameters of the tip, including the status of the vacuum, the temperature of the tip, and the electric field.  But it is not apparent that Sasaki teaches how the affected parameters, such as the field intensity or the trajectory of the particle beam, change as a result of the change in the radius.  Absent such a teaching, it cannot be said that a variable is "result-effective."  Cf. Application of Antonie, 559 F.2d 618, 620 (CCPA 1977) ("This case, in which the parameter optimized was not recognized to be a result-effective variable, is another exception [to the rule that the discovery of an optimum value of a variable in a known process is normally obvious.]")

In contesting the rejection, Appellant argues, inter alia, that the Examiner's rejection is in error, because "the Examiner failed to show how the length of the delivery path is a result effective variable."  Appeal Br. 11; see also id. at 10 (citing In re Antonie, 559 F.2d 618 (CCPA 1977)),

Upon reviewing the record before us, we agree with Appellant that the Examiner has failed to show how the length of the delivery path is a result effective variable.

As pointed out by Appellant, In re Antonie clarified the principle set forth in In re Aller, requiring the prior art to recognize the parameter to be optimized to be "a result-effective variable."  In re Antonie, 559 F.2d at 620.  In the present case, the Examiner has not established, through evidence or technical reasoning, that the langth of Bordoni's delivery path is a result-effective variable subject to routine optimization.  See Ans. 3.

Our reviewing court has repeatedly cautioned against employing hindsight by using the appellant's disclosure as a blueprint to reconstruct the claimed invention from the isolated teachings of the prior art. See, e.g., Grain Processing Corp. v. American Maize-Products Co., 840 F.2d 902, 907 (Fed. Cir. 1988).

Likewise, the Examiner does not show where the cited references suggest that wall thickness in an expandable balloon prosthesis was “recognized to be a resulteffective variable….”In re Antonie, 559 F.2d 618, 620 (CCPA 1977). Absent more here, the Examiner does not establish a prima facie case of obviousness of claims 6 and 21.

Cir. 1992) (explaining a reference is considered analogous art if “even though it may be in a different field from that of the inventor’s endeavor, it is one which, because of the matter with which it deals, logically would have commended itself to an inventor’s attention in considering his problem”).
