To anticipate, a reference must do more than “suggest” the claimed subject matter. AstraZeneca, 633 F.3d at 1055. Prior art that must be modified to meet the disputed claim limitation does not anticipate the claim. See, e.g., In re Chudik, 851 F.3d 1365, 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (“Prior art that ‘must be distorted from its obvious design’ does not anticipate a new invention.” (quoting In re Wells, 53 F.2d 537, 539 (CCPA 1931))).
