Federal Circuit “precedent has held that drawings can be used as prior art, without referring to the surrounding description, only if the prior art features are clearly disclosed by the drawing,” but it has also “reject[ed] [the] argument that each drawing in a prior art reference must always be viewed in isolation from the rest of a reference.”  PlaSmart, Inc. v. Kappos, 482 Fed.Appx. 568, 572 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (citing In re Wagner, 63 F.2d 987, 988 (CCPA 1933); In re Mraz, 455 F.2d 1069, 1072 (CCPA 1972); In re Seid, 161 F.2d 229, 231 (CCPA 1947) (emphasis added)).  While it is thus appropriate for an Examiner to rely solely on a prior art drawing to show a particular feature was known, Appellant may rebut this finding with evidence and arguments to establish the drawing does not clearly disclose the claimed feature to a skilled artisan.  Our task, as it is here, is to evaluate all of the evidence and arguments to determine whether a preponderance of the evidence supports the Examiner’s finding.

Regarding Appellants’ contentions, our reviewing court has held that drawings can be used as prior art, without referring to the surrounding description, only if the prior art features are clearly disclosed by the drawing. See, e.g., In re Wagner, 63 F.2d 987, 986–87 (CCPA 1933). Here, the filets, which transition between Sirhan’s scoring element (or wing) and balloon wall, are clearly disclosed. See also In re Mraz, 455 F.2d 1069, 1072 (CCPA 1972) (“[W]e did not mean that things patent drawings show clearly are to be disregarded.”); In re Seid, 161 F.2d 229, 231 (CCPA 1947) (“ [A]n accidental disclosure, if clearly made in a drawing, is available as a reference.” ) (citations omitted). Accordingly, we are not persuaded by Appellants’ contentions that the described filet does not exist or is merely the result of artistic license. Instead, the Examiner can properly rely on Sirhan’s disclosure of the curved filet adjacent the scoring element.
