Anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is a question of fact. See In re Berger, 279 F.3d 975, 980 (Fed. Cir. 2002). A patent claim is anticipated “only if each and every element is found within a single prior art reference, arranged as claimed.” Summit 6, LLC v. Samsung Elecs. Co., 802 F.3d 1283, 1294 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (citing Net MoneyIN, Inc. v. VeriSign, Inc., 545 F.3d 1359, 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2008)). A prior art reference without express reference to a claim limitation may anticipate by inherency. In re Cruciferous Sprout Litig., 301 F.3d 1343, 1349 (Fed. Cir. 2002). However, evidence must make clear that the missing descriptive matter is necessarily present in the thing described in the reference. Dayco Products, Inc. v. Total Containment, Inc., 329 F.3d 1358, 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2003).

The Examiner’s interpretation of the term “criterion” is unreasonably broad, because it is untethered from the Specification’s disclosure (see Morris, 127 F.3d at 1054) and from the enlightenment provided by the dependent claims (see Vitronics Corp. v. Conceptronic, Inc., 90 F.3d 1576, 1582 (Fed. Cir. 1996)).

Nevertheless, “interpreting what is meant by a word in a claim is not to be confused with adding an extraneous limitation appearing in the specification, which is improper.” In re Cruciferous Sprout Litigation, 301 F.3d 1343, 1348 (Fed. Cir. 2002) (emphasis omitted).

Inherency is a question of fact that arises both in the context of anticipation and obviousness rejections. See In re Napier, 55 F.3d 610, 613 (Fed. Cir. 1995). Inherency can only be established when "prior art necessarily functions in accordance with, or includes, the claimed limitations." In re Cruciferous Sprout Litig., 301 F.3d 1343, 1349 (Fed. Cir. 2002) ( citations and internal quotation marks omitted).
