Heading: The Prior Art More Cigarette

Text: 23 In 1974, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. marketed a cigarette in the United States under the name of More. The More cigarette is, therefore, prior art under 35 U.S.C. 102(b). The district court found that the More cigarette had a circumference of 20.8 mm, had a packing density of 263 mg/cm3, had a static burn rate of 39-42 mg/min, provided 15.4 puffs per cigarette, and delivered 53 mg of tobacco per puff. The district court further found that the More cigarette met every limitation of claims 1, 4, and 11 except the circumference limitation. The record supports each of these findings and the parties do not dispute them. 24
