When the phrase “consists of” appears in a clause in the claim body, rather than immediately following the preamble, there is an “exceptionally strong presumption that a claim term set off with ‘consisting of’ is closed to unrecited elements.”  Multilayer Stretch Cling Film Holdings, Inc. v. Berry Plastics Corp., 831 F.3d 1350, 1359 (Fed. Cir. 2016).

Stated differently, the Examiner does not establish that one of ordinary skill in the art would have been led to dry and stabilize Kato' s particularly formed film on a Mg alloy base member at a temperature that Miyata discloses to be the temperature at which magnesium hydroxide starts to decompose (340QC). In re Schulpen, 390 F.2d 1009, 1013 (CCPA 1968) (explaining that an obviousness rejection cannot stand when the modification proposed by the Examiner would run counter to the teaching of a prior art reference). To do so would destroy the invention on which Kato is based, namely, the use of a temperature at least four times higher than the maximum temperature taught by Kato. Ex parte Hartman, 186 USPQ 366, 367 (Bd. App. 1974)("Reynold cannot properly be combined with Graham et al relative to the employment of continuous monofilaments since to do so would destroy that on which the invention of Graham et al. is based, namely, the use of very short fibers.")
