Obviousness Reasoning

A PHOSITA would recognize that surface depression techniques are well-established design choices for improving material bonding and structural characteristics, making variations predictable

Source Patent Element

Molding methods using surface projections and fluid jets

PTD Variation

Alternative molding approaches that extend the original patent's manufacturing techniques

Obviousness Reasoning

Manufacturing process variations are typically considered obvious modifications when they achieve substantially similar results using known techniques in the field

Source Patent Element

Multilayer assembly with core and skin layers

PTD Variation

Expanded configuration options for layer interactions and material selections

Obviousness Reasoning

Material selection and layer configuration are standard design parameters that a skilled practitioner would find obvious to modify based on specific application requirements

Source Patent Element

Open-celled fiber reinforced structures

PTD Variation

Modified cellular structures optimized for specific performance characteristics

Obviousness Reasoning

Structural optimization through cellular configuration modifications represents a predictable engineering approach within composite material design

Source Patent Element

Surface depression geometries

PTD Variation
