Responding to this argument, the Examiner cites In re Seid for the proposition that "the particular artwork and shape conforming to the artwork was deemed to be purely ornamental, since matters relating to ornamentation only, which have no mechanical function, cannot be relied upon to patentably distinguish the claimed invention from the prior art." Ans. 2; see In re Seid, 161 F.2d 229, 231 (CCPA 1947).

The Examiner's citation is not on point. In Seid, the allegedly novel features where shown in the prior art. In re Seid, 161 F.2d at 231 ("[t]hat concept, however, is old in the patent to Kirchner et al., wherein the cardboard figure representing the upper half of the human body conceals the bottle neck and is supported thereon, while the body of the bottle represents the lower half of the human display figure"). Here, the Examiner provides no example of any item having "a plurality of evenly-spaced rounded bumps protruding from said one edge" as evidence that the claimed shape was known in the art. Appeal Br. 28.

Under these circumstances, the Federal Circuit's holding in In re Crish is instructive. 393 F.3d 1253, 1257 (Fed. Cir. 2004). In Crish, the Court held that the claimed oligonucleotide was not limited to a particular portion of numbered nucleotides notwithstanding that such "portion" was preceded with the transitional phrase "consists of." (Id.) The Court affirmed the PTO' s construction that the claims were broader and could include other nucleotides, including other portions of a broader sequence, because the claims also used the open-ended transition "comprising." (Id. at 1256 (affirming the Board's determination "that the transition language 'comprising' allowed the claims to cover the entire involucrin gene plus other portions of the plasmid, as long as the gene contained the specific portions of SEQ ID NO: 1 recited by the claim.")

In this regard, claim 1 does not require the benefit of using steam flow taught by Minamigawa. See In re Urbanski, 809 F.3d 1237, 1244 (Fed. Cir. 2016) ("As the Board properly found, one of ordinary skill would have been motivated to pursue the desirable properties taught by Wong, even if that meant foregoing the benefit taught by Gross. And Urbanski' s claims do not require Gross's benefit that is arguably lost by combination with Wong."). Weighing the benefits lost and gained, we agree with the Examiner that it would have been obvious to modify Minamigawa to form a seal as proposed.
