*In the primary reference, providing multiple locations hasno particular technical significance.
⇒ A single location does not necessarily mean inferior fixing strength (adhesive strength); the desired fixing strength (adhesive strength) can … be provided by appropriately adjusting the size and other aspects of “PSA region 39.”
⇒ Can be appropriately selected
⇒ A matter of design choice
(Excerpt from the court's reasoning)
…Providing “PSA regions 39” at multiple locations in the invention in Exhibit Ko 3-1 is not found to have any particular technical significance. Furthermore, …having “PSA region 39” at “one location” does not necessarily mean lower fixing strength (adhesive strength) than having it at “multiple locations.” The desired fixing strength (adhesive strength) can … be provided by appropriately adjusting the size and other aspects of “PSA region 39” …. Accordingly, …the number of “PSA regions 39” is a matter of design choice that a person skilled in the art can appropriately select by adjusting various factors, including the material, size, weight and hardness of “laminate 30” and the material and size of “PSA region 39” ….
