The claims are “of primary importance, in the effort to ascertain precisely what it is that is patented.” Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1312 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (citing Merrill v. Yeomans, 94 U.S. 568, 570 (1876)).  Hence, we first “look to the words of the claims themselves . . . to define the scope of the patented invention” in the context of the particular claim in which the term appears.  Vitronics Corp., 90 F.3d 1576, 1582 (Fed. Cir. 1996).  “[T]he context in which a term is used in the asserted claim can be highly instructive.”  Phillips, 415 F.3d at 1314.

Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 75 USPQ2d 1321 (Fed. Cir. 2005) 2111 , 2111.01 , 2143.01 , 2258
