In other words, Appellant has not demonstrated that the addition of phytoestrogen to the prior art mung bean/Lentinus edodes extract composition resulted in an unexpected improvement in the treatment of NSCLC. See Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. v. Cadbury Adams USA LLC, 683 F.3d 1356, 1362 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (“Evidence that a combination of known components results in an effect greater than the predicted additive effect of the components can support a finding of nonobviousness.”)(Emphasis added.)

When a word of degree, such as “substantially,” is used in a claim, we must determine whether the Specification provides some standard for measuring that degree. Seattle Box Company, Inc. v. Industrial Crating & Packing, Inc., 731 F.2d 818, 826 (Fed. Cir. 1984) (addressing whether claim term “substantially equal” is indefinite).
