Headnote
It is much easier to say that an invention lacks inventiveness because it would bring no surprise to the person skilled in the art than to justify the statement. The hearing notice had abandoned all seven documents cited in the examination report and substituted four new ones, and the order then combined two of those without engaging the written submissions at all.
Disposition
Allowed. Impugned order set aside and the matter remanded for de novo consideration.
