Appendix III - 35 U.S.C. 103 Rejections

This appendix covers 35 U.S.C. 103 rejections. These rejections are based on whether or not the claimed invention is obvious. Rejections under 35 U.S.C. 103 are appropriate if someone skilled in the art would consider the invention obvious over the prior art.
This section will be heavily tested. You can expect to see several questions (possibly as many as 7) covering obviousness on the exam. These questions will be highly complex.
