The patent office applies a much lower "non-obviousness" threshold than how a technical person would interpret that word.
It’s old memories from the engineering school in Europe but I remember that a patent office is about collecting fees and documents, and won’t do any actual checks on the patents validities.
Whether a patent is valid is tested in court.
