Taking claim 1 as representative of the claims on appeal, the claimed  subject matter is directed to the abstract idea of determining a payment hierarchy. Cf  Versata Dev. Grp., Inc. v. SAP Am., Inc., 793 F.3d 1306, 1333 (Fed. Cir. 2015), cert. denied, 136 S. Ct. 2510 (2016) ("Using organizational and product group hierarchies to determine a price is an abstract idea that has no particular concrete or tangible form or application.")

Stated differently, the Examiner does not establish that one of ordinary skill in the art would have been led to dry and stabilize Kato' s particularly formed film on a Mg alloy base member at a temperature that Miyata discloses to be the temperature at which magnesium hydroxide starts to decompose (340QC). In re Schulpen, 390 F.2d 1009, 1013 (CCPA 1968) (explaining that an obviousness rejection cannot stand when the modification proposed by the Examiner would run counter to the teaching of a prior art reference). To do so would destroy the invention on which Kato is based, namely, the use of a temperature at least four times higher than the maximum temperature taught by Kato. Ex parte Hartman, 186 USPQ 366, 367 (Bd. App. 1974)("Reynold cannot properly be combined with Graham et al relative to the employment of continuous monofilaments since to do so would destroy that on which the invention of Graham et al. is based, namely, the use of very short fibers.")

Appellant asserts that Brander is a monolithic structure and argues  that this claim limitation requires that the mounting enclosure be formed  from a plurality of pieces (id.). However, we agree with the Examiner that  as a product claim, even as a product-by-process claim, the structure is not limited by the method of manufacture (Ans. 8). See Greenliant Sys., Inc. v.  Xicor LLC, 692 F.3d 1261, 1268 (Fed. Cir. 2012) ("'[i]n determining  validity of a product-by-process claim, the focus is on the product and not the process of making it."). Further, nothing in the claim language, or Specification, limits the meaning of "portions" to pre-assembly portions.

As an initial matter, we are not persuaded by Appellants' argument that a person of ordinary skill would have been forced to conduct undue experimentation in wild-type rats to arrive at the conclusions of Forte I. See App. Br. 10. "Undue experimentation" is part of the test for determining whether a claim is enabled by the specification. See Nat 'l Recovery Techs., Inc. v. Magnetic Separation Sys., Inc., 166 F.3d 1190, 1196 (Fed. Cir. 1999) ("The scope of enablement, in turn, is that which is disclosed in the specification plus the scope of what would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art without undue experimentation").

A prior art reference that enables a single embodiment within the scope of a claim anticipates that claim, even if the same embodiment would not enable the full scope of the later-claimed invention. Cf In re Lukach, 442 F.2d 967, 970 ( CCPA 1971) (" [T]he description of a single embodiment of broadly described subject matter constitutes a description of the invention for anticipation purposes ... , whereas the same information in a specification might not alone be enough to provide a description of that invention for purposes of adequate disclosure.").
