The Examiner appears to have impermissibly picked the disclosure of antimony from Kimoto without consideration of what the totality of the disclosure in Kimoto would have fairly suggested to one of ordinary skill in the art. See In re Hedges, 783 F.2d 1038, 1041 (Fed. Cir. 1986) (“It is impermissible within the framework of section 103 to pick and choose from any one reference only so much of it as will support a given position, to the exclusion of other parts necessary to the full appreciation of what such reference fairly suggests to one of ordinary skill in the art.” (citations omitted)).
