In American Innotek, Inc v. United States, the Fed. Cir., in a nonprecedential and case-specific decision, rejected the Court of Federal Claims suggestion of the existence of a categorical rule that objective indicia, no matter how indicative of non-obviousness they are, cannot overcome a strong showing of obviousness and restated that objective indicia of nonobviousness must be considered in every case where present.
