Dependent claim 38 does not further limit the scope of claim I because both steps can be omitted. Cf. In re Johnston, 435 F.3d 1381, 1384—5 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (affirming a dependent claim reciting only an optional element as anticipated because "optional elements do not narrow the claim because they can always be omitted").
