We also find the Examiner’s inherency rationale unpersuasive. A reference may inherently disclose a process limitation if a prior art device “necessarily functions in accordance with the [claim] limitations” while the device is used in its “normal and usual operation.” In re King, 801 F.2d 1324, 1326 (Fed. Cir. 1986) (citing, inter alia, In re Ackenbach, 45 F.2d 437, 439 (CCPA 1930)). The Examiner has not provided a persuasive reason, based on Figure 2 or any associated descriptive text in Yokoo, to expect that Yokoo’s process would necessarily result in the lifting of noodle strings from contact with the retainer.
