To anticipate, a reference must do more than “suggest” the claimed subject matter. AstraZeneca, 633 F.3d at 1055. Prior art that must be modified to meet the disputed claim limitation does not anticipate the claim. See, e.g., In re Chudik, 851 F.3d 1365, 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (“Prior art that ‘must be distorted from its obvious design’ does not anticipate a new invention.” (quoting In re Wells, 53 F.2d 537, 539 (CCPA 1931))).

Additionally, as the Federal Circuit has stated, “[t]o violate [35 U.S.C. §] 101 [,] the claimed device must be totally incapable of achieving a useful result.” Brooktree Corp. v. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 977 F.2d 1555, 1571 (Fed. Cir. 1992). See also E.I. du Pont De Nemours & Co. v. Berkley & Co., 620 F.2d 1247, 1260 n.17 (8th Cir. 1980) (“A small degree of utility is sufficient . . . . The claimed invention must only be capable of performing some beneficial function . . . . In short, the defense of non-utility cannot be sustained without proof of total incapacity.”). Even if an invention is only partially successful in achieving a useful result, a rejection of the claimed invention as a whole based on a lack of utility is not appropriate. See In re Brana, 51 F.3d 1560 (Fed. Cir. 1995); see also In re Gardner, 475 F.2d 1389 (CCPA 1973), reh’g denied, 480 F.2d 879 (CCPA 1973); see also In re Marzocchi, 439 F.2d 220 (CCPA 1971).
