TWI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 2014-1391, 2014 WL 6782649, at *6–*7 (Fed. Cir., Dec. 3, 2014) (inherency is limited when applied to obviousness and is present only when the limitation at issue is the “natural result” of the combination of prior art elements; quoting In re Oelrich, 666 F.2d 578, 581 (CCPA 1981))
