A rejection must be set forth in sufficiently articulate and informative manner as to meet the notice requirement of § 132, such as by identifying where or how each limitation of the rejected claims is met by the prior art references. In re Jung, 637 F.3d 1356, 1363 (Fed. Cir. 2011); see also 37 C.F.R. § l . 104(c)(2) ("When a reference is complex or shows or describes inventions other than that claimed by the applicant, the particular part relied on must be designated as nearly as practicable. The pertinence of each reference, if not apparent, must be clearly explained and each rejected claim specified."), Gechter v. Davidson, 116 F.3d 1454, 1460 (Fed. Cir. 1997) (PTO must create a record that includes "specific fact findings for each contested limitation and satisfactory explanations for such findings."). It is neither our place, nor Appellant's burden, to speculate as to the basis for rejecting claims. In re Stepan, 660 F. 3d 1341, 1345 (Fed. Cir. 2011) (It is the PTO's obligation to provide prior notice to the applicant of all matters of fact and law asserted prior to an appeal hearing before the Board.).
Jung, In re, 637 F.3d 1356, 98 USPQ2d 1174 (Fed. Cir. 2011) 1205.02 1504.01(c)
