“Ordinarily, the PTO accepts statements in declarations at face value. However, like other judicial and quasi-judicial tribunals, the PTO need not accept at face value a statement in a declaration when there is objective evidence in the record for questioning the statement.”  Ex parte Daniels, 40 USPQ2d 1394, 1409 n.14 (Bd. Pat. App. Int. 1996), reversed on other grounds, see In re Daniels, 144 F.3d 1452 (Fed. Cir. 1998).  Although a declarant’s opinion on the ultimate legal issue is not evidence in the case, “some weight ought to be given to a persuasively supported statement of one skilled in the art on what was not obvious to him.”  In re Lindell, 385 F.2d 453, 456 (CCPA 1967).  The submission of objective evidence of patentability does not mandate a conclusion of patentability in and of itself. In re Chupp, 816 F.2d 643 (Fed. Cir. 1987).  Here, there is evidence in the record contrary to the McMillen Declaration.

Further, because “each claim must be considered as defining a separate invention,” Jones v. Hardy, 727 F.2d 1524, 1528 (Fed. Cir. 1984), we find it entirely within the parameters of proper patent examination for the Examiner to tailor his application of the prior art to the specific language of each independent claim. See also Pall Corp. v. Micron Separations, Inc., 66 F.3d 1211, 1220 (Fed. Cir. 1995) (“each claim is a separate statement of the patented invention”); Altoona Publix Theatres, Inc. v. Am. Tri—Ergon Corp., 294 U.S. 477, 487 (1935) (“each claim must stand or fall, as itself sufficiently defining invention, independently of the others”).

Objective evidence of non-obviousness submitted by a patent applicant must be considered. In re Sernaker, 702 F.2d 989, 996 (Fed. Cir. 1983). In order to have significant probative value, there must be a nexus between the merits of the claimed invention and the submitted evidence. M.P.E.P. § 716.01(b) (citing Ashland Oil, Inc. v. Delta Resins & Refractories, Inc., 776 F.2d 281, 305 n.42 (Fed. Cir. 1985)). Objective evidence may also take the form of opinion testimony from an expert. M.P.E.P. § 716.01 (c)(III).

Cir. 2005) (unsubstantiated attorney argument is no substitute for competent evidence); In re Pearson, 494 F.2d 1399, 1405 (CCPA 1974).

A disclosure that merely renders the later-claimed subject matter obvious is not sufficient to meet the written description requirement; the disclosure must describe the claimed invention with all its 
limitations. Tronzo v. Biomet, Inc., 156 F.3d 1154, 1158 (Fed. Cir. 1998); Lockwood v. American Airlines, Inc., 107 F.3d 1565, 1572 (Fed. Cir. 1997). “That a person skilled in the art might realize from reading the disclosure that such a step is possible is not a sufficient indication to that person that [the] step is part of appellants’ invention.” In re Barker, 559 F.2d 588, 593 (CCPA 1977) (quoting In re Winkhaus, 527 F.2d 637, 640 (CCPA 1975)).
