After all, we note that lack of novelty is the ultimate or epitome of obviousness. In re Fracalossi, 681 F.2d 792, 794 (CCPA 1982) (“Though the composition might have been obvious, though not anticipated, it cannot have been anticipated and not have been obvious. Thus evidence establishing lack of all novelty in the claimed invention necessarily evidences obviousness.”).
