I don't have access to the USPTO documents--just relied on Du's ruling.

Fine ... The Order says:

Also, this case is unlike many other obviousness cases because, when the Patent Office issued the patents-in-suit, it maintained its finding from earlier rejections that the prior art rendered all of the claims prima facie obvious. (Ex. 1521 at 1822-35, see also id. at 1830-31.) As the examiner explained, “it was concluded that it will be obvious to treat patients having triglycerides above 500 mg/dL with 96% pure ethyl-EPA."

and

"the Examiner concluded that it would be prima facie obvious to treat patients having TG above 500 mg/dl with 96% pure ethyl-EPA"

I stand corrected ... but please quote the relevant part of the Order (about USPTO PFO) that says: LDL-C and/or Apo-B effect is/are PFO acc. to the USPTO ...

Best,
