side of the computer, provided with an electrical connection is
covered with the battery pack”. Thus, all the claims before us
require that the battery pack cover the electrical connection

Anticipation requires that each and every element of the
claimed invention be disclosed in a single prior art reference.
See In re King, 801 F.2d 1324, 1326, 231 USPQ 136, 138 (Fed. Cir.
1986) and Lindermann Mashinenfabrik GMBH v. American Hoist &
Derrick Co., 730 F.2d 1452, 1458, 221 USPQ 481, 485 (Fed. Cir.
1984).
Upon our review of Leung, Leung shows in figure 4 the
battery pack (H) extending along the rear side (40) of the system
body (B). We note that Leung shows in figure 1 that the rear
side where the element 4 is marked contains no electrical
connections. Furthermore, we note that Leung shows that the
battery pack does not cover the electrical connection located on
the rear side of the portable computer. Therefore, Leung does
not teach all the limitations as recited in Appellants’ claims 33
through 49.
