The instant situation of selecting known elements for use in cosmetics is also similar to that in Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. v. Cadbury Adams USA LLC, 683 F.3d 1356 (Fed. Cir. 2012). In that case, the Federal Circuit found a “strong case of obviousness based on the prior art references of record” based on the recitation in the claim at issue of “ a combination of elements that were all known in the prior art, and all that was required to obtain that combination was to substitute one well-known . . . agent for another.”

A prior art reference can only anticipate a claim if it discloses all the claimed limitations “arranged or combined in the same way as in the claim.” Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. v. Cadbury Adams USA LLC, 683 F.3d 1356, 1361 (Fed. Cir. 2012).
The “question for the purposes of anticipation is ‘whether the number of categories and components’ disclosed in [the prior art] is so large that the combination . . . ‘would not be immediately apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art.’ Wrigley, 683 F.3d at 1361.” Kennametal, Inc. v.

Instead, the Examiner concludes that it would have been obvious “to increase the area of ridges and valleys, since it has been held that a mere duplication of the essential working parts of a device involves only routine skill in the art.” (Ans. 4, citing St. Regis Paper Co. v. Bemis Co., 549 F.2d 833 (7thCir. 1977)).
The holding of St. Regis Paper is not persuasive of unpatentability in this appeal. In St. Regis Paper, the court agreed with the infringement defendant that a prior art reference described a bag including three of four elements recited in the claim there at issue. The court held that the fourth element, “the use of multiple layers to achieve the effect of many bags within one,” had been well known in the industry. Id. at 838. The court then held that the plaintiff was not entitled to patent protection for “the fusion of the old elements that comprised” the bag described in the prior art reference “and the old element of multiple layering.” Id.
The Examiner has not shown that the embossment of a majority of the bottom surface of such a roofing membrane was known in the pertinent art prior to the Appellants’ disclosure. Therefore, the facts of St. Regis Paper are distinguishable.

We are not persuaded. The instant situation is similar to that in Wrigley, where the Court finds that:
This is not a case in which the prior art reference merely discloses a genus and the claim at issue recites a species of that genus. . . . Shahidi specifically discloses WS–23 as a coolant and menthol as a flavoring agent. The question for purposes of anticipation is therefore whether the number of categories and components in Shahidi was so large that the combination of WS–23 and menthol would not be immediately apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art.
