Accidental disclosure in a drawing may, under certain circumstances, support a finding of anticipation. In re Meng, 492 F.2d 843, 848–849 (CCPA 1974) (“[A] claimed invention may be anticipated or rendered obvious by a drawing in a reference, whether the drawing disclosure be accidental or intentional.”); In re Seid, 161 F.2d 229, 231 (1947) (“[A]n accidental disclosure, if clearly made in a drawing, is available as a reference.”); In re Bager, 47 F.2d 951, 953 (CCPA 1931)(“Description for the purposes of anticipation can be by drawings alone as well as by words.” (citation omitted)). However, whether an accidental showing in a drawing is or is not an anticipation of a later invention depends generally on the facts in each particular case. Bager, 47 F.2d at 952–953. “[A]n accidental showing in a

prior patent does not anticipate a later invention where the thing so shown is not essential to the first invention, and was not designed, adapted, or used to perform the function which it performs in the second invention, and was neither intended nor appreciated by the patentee, and when the first patent contains no suggestion of the way in which the result sought is accomplished by the second inventor.” Id. at 953 (citations omitted).

In this instance, the Examiner fails to direct our attention to any purpose or design for Camus’ accidental showing of reference patterns 15, 16 extending to the edge of the window in layer 17.
