Section 103 Obviousness Analysis (PHOSITA)

▼

Field of Art

Packaging and Container Design, specifically tray and storage system engineering, involving industrial design, material science, and ergonomic spatial arrangement techniques

Person of Ordinary Skill (PHOSITA) Profile

A design engineer with expertise in packaging systems, familiar with modular tray configurations, material properties, and manufacturing techniques for storage and display applications

Obviousness Rationale

A skilled practitioner would recognize that the PTD's disclosed variations represent predictable extensions of the source patent's core tray design principles, utilizing standard design optimization techniques and known methods of adapting spatial configurations for enhanced functionality and versatility

Obvious Combinations & Variations

Source Patent Element

Tray with guide portions arranged in a first direction with specific protruding configurations

PTD Variation

Enhanced spatial arrangement of guide portions to accommodate new application use cases

Obviousness Reasoning

Modifying guide portion geometry represents a routine design optimization that would be obvious to a PHOSITA seeking to adapt the tray for alternative storage or organizational requirements

Source Patent Element

Bottom surface portion with sidewall configuration

PTD Variation

Introducing modular interface points for expanded connectivity and integration with other systems

Obviousness Reasoning

Extending the base tray design to include additional interface capabilities is a predictable variation using known mechanical design techniques

Source Patent Element

Spatial positioning of protruding elements within the tray structure

PTD Variation

Implementing alternative geometric relationships between guide portions to enable more complex organizational strategies

Obviousness Reasoning

Reconfiguring relative positioning of structural elements represents a standard design approach for improving functional flexibility

Source Patent Element

Tray bottom surface with guide portion configurations

PTD Variation

Introducing material or structural variations to enhance load-bearing or organizational capabilities

Obviousness Reasoning

Selecting alternative material properties or structural reinforcements constitutes a predictable engineering solution for performance optimization

Source Patent Element

Basic tray geometry with directional guide portions

PTD Variation

Expanding the design to support multiple orientation modes or adaptable configuration strategies

Obviousness Reasoning

Developing multi-mode functionality represents a standard design evolution that would be obvious to a skilled practitioner seeking increased product versatility

35 U.S.C. § 103 Summary: Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 103, the variations disclosed in this Published Technical Disclosure would have been obvious to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art at the time of invention, when considered in light of US Patent 11858690, as the modifications represent predictable design extensions utilizing standard engineering techniques within the known technological capabilities of the relevant field
