Feature comparison

| Feature of my invention | Document 1 (no., date) | Document 2 | Document 3 | Where it differs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F1 | present — para [0023] | absent | different: uses … | |
| F2 | | | | |
| F3 | | | | |

Reading the table: a feature that is absent from every document, and not an obvious combination of what they teach, is a candidate for novelty. Write one sentence per such feature on why a skilled person would not have arrived at it.
