The test of double patenting is whether differences between inventions claimed in the instant application and in the copending reference application are such that subject matter sought to be patented would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art, in view of any prior art additionally relied on In re Wetterau, 356 F.2d 556, 558 (CCPA 1966).

As an initial matter, although the Examiner did not proffer a claim construction, claim construction is an issue of law that is left for a court or a tribunal. "[W]hen the district court reviews only evidence intrinsic to the patent (the patent claims and specifications, along with the patent's prosecution history), the judge's determination will amount solely to a determination of law." Teva Pharms. USA, Inc. v. Sandoz, Inc., 135 S. Ct. 831, 841 (2015). "[T]he ultimate issue of the proper construction of a claim should be treated as a question of law." Id. at 838.

We construe claim terms according to their broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification of the patent or application in which they appear. In re Bigio, 381 F.3d 1320, 1324 (Fed. Cir. 2004).

Appellants do not direct us to, and we do not find, a specific definition of the term "between" in the Specification. The Specification provides only minimal discussion of the plunger rod and does not list any express limitations of the plunger rod in relation to the handle or body. 

In the absence of a definition or express limitation, we interpret the term as broadly as reasonable and consistent with the Specification. We are mindful, though, not to import limitations from a specification unnecessarily. See E-Pass Techs., Inc. v. 3Com Corp., 343 F.3d 1364, 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2003).

Regarding a determination that, e.g., non natural-phenomenon, claim elements are merely routine and conventional, the Federal Circuit has explained that 

Whether something is well-understood, routine, and conventional to a skilled artisan at the time of the patent is a factual determination. Whether a particular technology is well understood, routine, and conventional goes beyond what was simply known in the prior art. The mere fact that something is disclosed in a piece of prior art, for example, does not mean it was well-understood, routine, and conventional.
