Advantageous Results
[0197] It has been held that a prior art reference must accomplish applicant's result.sup.5, and that there is nothing wrong in claiming something by what it does, as opposed to what it is.sup.6. .sup.5Ex parte Tanaka, Marushima and Takahashi, 174 USPQ 38 (“Claims are not rejected . . . if the prior art devices do not accomplish applicant's result.”[Emphasis added] and In re Dillon, 919 F.2d 688, 692 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (“A prima facie case of . . . [unpatentability] requires that the prior art suggest the . . . problem the applicant attempts to solve.”[Emphasis added]..sup.6In re Swinehart and Sfiligoj, 169 USPQ 226,228 (CCPA 1971) [“We take the characterization “functional,” as used By the Patent Office and argued by the parties, to indicate nothing more than the fact that an attempt is being made to define something (in this case, a composition) by what it does rather than by what it is (as evidenced by specific structure or material, for example). In our view, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with the use of such a technique in drafting patent claims. Indeed we have even recognized in the past the practical necessity for the use of functional language [Emphasis added].
