"Whether an invention recites patent-eligible subject matter under section 101 is a pure question of law .... " In re Wang, 737 Fed.Appx. 534, 535 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (citing Genetic Techs. Ltd. v. Merial LLC., 818 F.3d 1369, 1373 (Fed. Cir. 2016)). In order to reach a proper legal determination via the Alice two-step analytical framework, it is critical that the framework in reaching that determination is on a solid foundation.

We agree with Appellants that when an obviousness rejection is based on a combination of components in the prior art reference as in the instant situation, the comparison to show unexpected results need only be between the closest prior art reference and the claimed invention. In re Baxter Travenol Labs., 952 F.2d 388, 392 (Fed. Cir. 1991). It need not be between the claimed invention and the invention suggested by the combined teachings in the prior art reference or references. "Unexpected results are shown in comparison to what was known, not what was unknown." Millennium Pharm., Inc. v. Sandoz, Inc., 862 F.3d 1356, 1368 (Fed. Cir. 2017). Appellants were "not required to create the [claimed invention], when the product had not been created in the prior art." Id.

Moreover, we do not agree with Appellant's contention that the Specification may be used by the Examiner only as a dictionary for the exclusive purpose of defining claim terms per se. The predecessor to our reviewing court has held that the Specification may also be used as required to answer the question of whether Appellant's claims on appeal define merely an obvious variation of an invention disclosed and claimed in the reference (i.e., the '152) patent. In re Vogel, 422 F.2d 438, 441--42 (C.C.P.A. 1970). The court in Vogel noted that, in general, the Specification: "sets forth at least one tangible embodiment within the claim, and it is less difficult and more meaningful to judge whether that thing has been modified in an obvious manner." Vogel, 422 F.2d at 442. The court further stated that: "use of the [Specification] is not in contravention of the cases forbidding its use as prior art, nor is it applying the patent as a reference under 35 U.S.C. § 103, since only the disclosure of the invention claimed in the patent may be examined." Id. 

Vogel, In re, 422 F.2d 438, 164 USPQ 619 (CCPA 1970) 804 , 804.01 , 804.02 , 1504.06
