    But how often does it work? It seems like the TTAB doesn't give the
    argument much weight, but maybe that's because it's a weak theory by
    the time it gets to the TTAB. Do people have success with the
    argument with examining attorneys? How many references, and how
    close, does it typically take?<br>
