We agree with Appellant that classification of the prior art is weak evidence with regard to the problem being solved. Reply Br. 2 (citing In re Mlot-Fijalkowski, 676 F.2d 666 (CCPA 1982), for the proposition that classification evidence is of little value when determining if a reference is analogous art). Further, “the similarities and differences in structure and function of the inventions disclosed in the references carry far greater weight” than patent classification. In re Ellis, 476 F.2d 1370, 1372 (CCPA 1973).

Evidence of classification of prior art in different categories by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office “is inherently weak . . . because considerations in forming a classification system differ from those relating to a person of ordinary skill seeking solution for a particular problem.” In re Mlot-Fijalkowski, 676 F.2d 666, 670 n.5 (CCPA 1982).

“[O]ne cannot show non-obviousness by attacking references individually where . . . the rejections are based on combinations of references.” In re Keller, 642 F.2d 413, 426 (CCPA 1981). “The test for obviousness is not whether the features of a secondary reference may be bodily incorporated into the structure of the primary reference . . . . Rather, the test is what the combined teachings of the references would have suggested to those of ordinary skill in the art.” Id. at 425.
