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).
