Appeal No. 1997-3959
Application No. 08/183,693
USPQ 438 (Fed. Cir. 1986). We are also mindful of the
requirements of anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102. We must
point out, however, that anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102 is
established only when a single prior art reference discloses,
either expressly or under the principles of inherency, each
and every element of a claimed invention. See RCA Corp. v.
Applied Digital Data Sys., Inc.,
730 F.2d 1440, 1444, 221 USPQ 385, 388 (Fed. Cir. 1984), cert.
dismissed, 468 U.S. 1228 (1984). Furthermore, only those
arguments actually made by Appellant have been considered in
making this decision. Arguments which Appellant could have
made but chose not to make in the briefs have not been
considered
[37 CFR § 1.192(a)].
