"Anticipation is a question of fact" and "factual determinations by the PTO must be based on a preponderance of the evidence." In re Baxter Travenol Lab., 952 F.2d 388, 390 (Fed. Cir. 1991); In re Oetiker, 977 F.2d 1443, 1449 (Fed. Cir. 1992). A "preponderance of evidence" is defined as "evidence which as a whole shows that the fact sought to be proved is more probable than not." Black's Law Dictionary 1064 (5th ed. 1979).

However, the Examiner confuses breadth with indefiniteness. The Examiner is correct that by setting the predefined numerical accuracy to infinity, any finite sequence is within infinity of any infinite sequence. Such vast breadth may well be relevant to enablement or anticipation, but "breadth is not indefiniteness." SmithKline Beecham Corp. v. Apotex Corp., 403 F.3d 1331, 1341 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (quotation omitted). "Merely claiming broadly does not render a claim insolubly ambiguous, nor does it prevent the public from understanding the scope of the patent." Ultimax Cement Mfg. Corp. v. CTS Cement Mfg. Corp., 587 F.3d 1339, 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2009).

Expectation of success is assessed from the perspective of a person of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was made. See Life Techs. Inc. v. Clontech Labs. Inc., 224 F.3d 1320, 1326 (Fed. Cir. 2000). ("Reasonable expectation of success is assessed from the perspective of the person of ordinary skill in the art. That the inventors were ultimately successful is irrelevant to whether one of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was made, would have reasonably expected success." (citation omitted)).

Later publications may be used "as evidence of the state of the art existing on the filing date of an application." In re Hogan, 559 F.2d 595, 605 (CCPA 1977).

However, Appellant's Figures 9, 14, 16, and 17 each depict the metal conductor 40 filling the space in the bottom of the trenches 24 not occupied by the oxide layer 36 and the liner 48. It is in this context that one of ordinary skill in the art would understand the term, "substantially," to be language of magnitude, i.e. not insubstantial or to a significant extent. See, for example, Epcon Gas Systems, Inc. v. Bauer Compressors, Inc., 279 F.3d 1022, 1031 (Fed.
