see also In re Baird, 16 F.3d 380, 382 (Fed. Cir. 1994) (“The fact that a claimed compound may be encompassed by a disclosed generic formula does not by itself render that compound obvious.”); In re Jones, 958 F.2d 347, 350 (Fed. Cir. 1992) (declining to extract from Merck & Co. v. Biocraft Labs., Inc., 874 F.2d 804, 806-09 (Fed. Cir. 1989), the rule that “regardless of how broad, a disclosure of a chemical genus renders obvious any species that happens to fall within it”).

This claim interpretation is consistent with a recent decision from the Federal Circuit concerning a “module” claim term. See Williamson v. Citrix Online, LLC, 770 F.3d 1371, 1377–80 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 5, 2014) (holding that district court erred in concluding that “distributed learning control module” is a means-plus-function claim term).
