The problem is that the Examiner has not adequately supported the finding that the structures are, indeed, so similar as to necessarily have the required properties. Inherency may supply a missing claim limitation in an obviousness analysis where the limitation naturally results from the combination of prior art elements, but in the context of obviousness, the burden for establishing inherency is high and must be carefully circumscribed. Persion Pharm. LLC v. Alvogen Malta Operations Ltd., 945 F.3d 1184, 1191 (Fed. Cir. 2019). The Examiner has not met the burden.

In Innova/PureWater Inc. v. Safari Water Filtration Sys. Inc., 381 F.3d 1111, 1117–20 (Fed. Cir. 2004), the court noted that the phrase “operatively connected” is “a general descriptive claim term frequently used in patent drafting to reflect a functional relationship between claimed components,” that is, the term “means the claimed components must be connected in a way to perform a designated function.”

The Federal Circuit has explained what must be shown for a nonprovisional application to benefit from the filing date of a related provisional application. In Dynamic Drinkware, the Federal Circuit held that “[a] reference patent is only entitled to claim the benefit of the filing date of its provisional application if the disclosure of the provisional application provides support for the claims in the reference patent in compliance with § 112, ¶ 1.” Dynamic Drinkware, LLC v. National Graphics, Inc., 800 F.3d 1375, 1381 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (emphasis added). The Federal Circuit subsequently made clear that this rule applied to non-provisional applications—not just issued patents—seeking benefit of the filing date of a provisional application.
