Obviousness is perhaps the most challenging obstacle to overcome while substantiating the patentability of an invention. This is due to its ambiguous and subjective nature. Rejection of an application due to obviousness could be a grave dissatisfaction for an inventor, whose brilliant idea was rendered unpatentable due to an indistinct concept.<\/em> Obviousness rejections are based on prior art references and the interpretations derived from them.
