Riverwood Int’l Corp. v. R.A. Jones & Co., Inc. 324 F.3d 1346, 1354 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (“a statement by an applicant during prosecution identifying certain matter not the work of the inventor as ‘prior art’ is an admission that the matter is prior art”); In re Nomiya, 509 F.2d 566, 570-571 (CCPA 1975) (“We see no reason why appellants’ representations in their application should not be accepted at face value as admissions that Figs. 1 and 2 may be considered ‘prior art’ for any purpose.”); In re Garfinkel, 437 F.2d 1000, 1004 n.2 (CCPA 1971) (“From the record we are uncertain whether the type of ‘prior art’ referred to is of the § 102(f) or § 102(g) variety or whether it is of the ‘known … in this country’ type as in § 102(a). What is clear, however, is that appellant has admitted that as to him the information in Kistler is prior art of some type.”).
