1615 Ex Parte Riley et al 13555472 - (D) FREDMAN 103 Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP HELM, CARALYNNE E
We find that Appellants have the better position. “A comparison of the claimed invention with the disclosure of each cited reference to determine the number of claim limitations in common with each reference, bearing in mind the relative importance of particular limitations, will usually yield the closest single prior art reference.” In re Merchant, 575 F.2d 865, 869 (CCPA 1978).
...
Finally, we agree with Appellants that requiring a comparison with clindamycin and lecithin, where Heide does not have such an example, “would amount to requiring comparison of the results of the invention with the results of the invention.” In re Chapman , 357 F.2d 418, 422 (CCPA 1966).
