`

`“Resiliently Deformable” – Cho Reference
`
`PO Expert Fletcher says POSITA would not modify Cho to have
`“Resiliently Deformable” walls because:
`
` Bottle nipples are designed to regulate flow by sucking,
`not squeezing
`
` It is contrary to proper infant care to allow a baby to feed
`itself no less give it a resiliently deformable bottle to
`potentially force more fluid in its mouth
`
` Baby bottle nipples have vents on the sides through which
`formula would be forced out if the Cho bottle was resiliently
`deformable

`Other Petition Deficiencies
`
`Petitioner Fails to Show Why a POSITA Would Modify Cho
`
`1. No motivation for a POSITA to add stand up caps to the Cho
`baby bottle.
`
`Mueller and Rohr are for squeeze type containers that
`stand on their caps for dispensing lotions.
`
`2. No motivation for a POSITA to add bulb shaped receptacle or
`convex end wall to a baby bottle.
`
`Baby bottles are intended to stand on a flat base (not cap)
`to prevent leaking and nipple from getting contaminated.
