We are mindful that "[a] prior art reference may anticipate without disclosing a feature of the claimed invention if that missing characteristic is necessarily present, or inherent, in the single anticipating reference." Verizon Servs. Corp. v. Cox Fibernet Va., Inc., 602 F.3d 1325, 1336-37 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (emphasis added). Here, however, the Examiner's attempt to infer there is commonality between Knox's disclosure and that of Streich (Ans. 11 ), does not clear the hurdle of establishing that Streich's elastomeric covering is necessarily formed with the same characteristics as that of Knox.
