The rejection relies upon a construction of the expression “supported for rotation” that would render superfluous the words “for rotation.” “A claim construction that gives meaning to all the terms of the claim is preferred over one that does not do so.” Merck & Co. v. Teva Pharms. USA, Inc., 395 F.3d 1364, 1372 (Fed. Cir. 2005). Ascribing meaning to the phrase “for rotation” here requires that the identified element be capable of rotation. An element that is fixed to another structure, such that it cannot rotate, is not “supported for rotation,” per claim 17.
